A STRANGER’S EYES


Her eyes are calling
tonight’s the day
gonna spread her wings
come what may.
Making plans
that seem so high
loving strangers
just to get by.

A stranger’s eyes
a stranger’s eyes
are calling you
calling you.
A stranger’s eyes 
are calling you
calling you.

Words with promises
of things to come
the past behind you
no need to run.
Walls of steel
and fields of stone
hide my vision
keep us all alone.

A stranger’s eyes
a stranger’s eyes
are calling you 
calling you.
A stranger’s eyes 
are calling you
calling you.

The passing stars
free the chains
ashes of dreams
remove all pain.
Video-flash backs
from the past
the man on the tube
says the die is cast.

A stranger’s eyes
a stranger’s eyes
are calling you
calling you 
calling you
calling you.


A Stranger's Eyes

Not Knowing

My second collaboration with Jimena and Chris Kinsey.  The song began with a few chords played on a midi keyboard using ‘silky string selection’ in Logic to work out the structure.  I added Guitars, Bass and Drums and asked Chris to add some ‘Kinseyfication’ on Piano and Organ, then, it was over to Jimena to write the lyrics and record her amazing vocal tracks. Once I had all the constituent parts, I set about the final mix and mastering; this is the result.
A huge, huge thanks to Chris and Jimena for their outstanding contributions which have elevated the song to another level.

Mind Maze

Caught in a nightmare
From which I can’t escape
I gulp in foul air
And mortal dread takes shape

No recollection
Of joyful memories
Sheer desolation
No more victories

The throes of delusion engulf me and swallow me 
It’s getting too hard to wake up from this dream
And all the confusion that toys with my sanity
Invites me to let out a blood-curdling scream

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
Mind maze

Running blind in the wilderness
Chased by unfounded fears
I’m fleeing from the emptiness
That threatens to feed on me

The throes of a nightmare engulf me and swallow me 
Although I’m awake as can possibly be
And all the despair that consumes me and blinds me
Makes me wanna cry, makes me wanna scream

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
(No way out of here)
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
No way out of here

In these blurry surroundings my mind plays tricks on me
If give in to madness, will my worries disappear?
Oh, if I succumb to the darkness, will you find me in my sleep?
Please don’t take an eternity to come and rescue me
Rescue me

I succumb to this wasteland
Can’t fight this pantomime
As I sink deep in quicksand 
I reach out to you one last time

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
(No way out of here, no way out of here)
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
(No way out of here)
No way out of here

Save me
Save me from myself

I'm a conceptual musical artist but the concepts are vague and I'm not willing to explain them.
