about

Track 8 - Keep Your Eyes Wide:

The last song on the album is also the last one I wrote for this collection. It was written in the early days of the pandemic, when I was seriously quarantining. I didn’t leave the building for months. All the horrors of disease and death were so close you could hear the hoofbeats of the apocalyptic horseman. It was fascinating that in the middle of such destruction there were silver linings everywhere. Including a glimpse of a better world. Something profound happened to society when we all stopped running on the treadmill for a moment.

Sometimes the dream that comes true
Is not the one you expected to

lyrics

Keep your eyes wide, my son
These days will only be here once
And sometimes the dream that comes true
Is not the one you expected to

Because dreams work that way
Because dreams work that way

I've had enough solitude for now
And enough staring at screens for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life

Keep your shirt on, old man
This is not the way to the promised land
But I can see it from here
Keep your eyes wide, it will become clear

Because love works that way
Because love works that way

I've had enough solitude for now
And enough violence and hate for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
