In The Dark (ft. Obscura Hail)

New music from Australia’s indie DIY Darling, Jack R. Reilly.

Jack R. Reilly has been a fixture of Australia’s underground for over a decade. Often touted as “your favourite songwriter’s favourite songwriter” Jack has been carving out is own unique space, sharing story and healing from the smallest dimly lit corners to the stages of the country’s biggest and prestigious venues. Jack’s strong sense of identity and dynamic performances have allowed for sold out headline shows and opportunities to support internationally touring artists such as Hobo Johnson, Kevin Devine, Into It. Over It, Andrew McMahon and Gavin DeGraw. 

Jack’s sophomore album, After The Parade is set for release in February 2025 and Eyes Open is a taste from what is sure to be a coveted classic. 

Eyes Open is an exploration of behavioural cycles, making choices and self awareness. These themes are expressed through the metaphor of the ride Pirates of The Caribbean. 
Jack’s unique ability to transport nostalgic and familiar feelings to the dynamic present comes through strong in Eyes Open. 

Lyrics 

I fell back in the golden age
I saw flashes of the New Year
With the rope burn and crashing waves
They’ve been Waiting for our surrender

In the salt water
You pull me under
With my eyes open
With my eyes open 
Scream to nothing
My lungs falter
With my eyes open
Got my eyes open

I’m not sure but it sure feels right
I leave my mark upon the night
I hide in the light

Broken bones and a mound of gold
With my hands tied behind my back
Lifting words the story sold
The calling winds the sea calls back

In the salt water

You pull me under
With my eyes open
Got my eyes open 

I’m not sure but it sure feels right
I leave my mark upon the night
I hide in the light

I can never bring you past the edge
The golden carousel its bins
Feels like you’re getting somewhere
Until it ends
I can’t say for certain but I think it’s true

In the salt water you put me under
With my eyes open
With my eyes open
Screamed to nothing 
my lungs falter
With my eyes open
Got my eyes open

I’m not sure but it sure feels right
I leave my mark upon the night
I hide in the light
In the salt water you put me under

With my eyes open
With my eyes open
Screamed to nothing 
my lungs falter
With my eyes open
Got my eyes open

A cover of Funeral by Phoebe Bridgers. One of my all time favourite songs by one of my all time favourite artists. It seems the longer I stay alive the more relevant this song becomes.
