”Dark Eyes” is inspired by a dear, dear friend who got a bit lost in life for a while. When you think you know someone but apparently don’t, and the complications surrounding that. When you want to help out but don’t have the whole picture, and therefore are a bit left in the dark, grasping for conclusions. I don’t want to say more; every reading/feeling is valuable. Musically, it’s straightforward; melodic, winsome, life-affirming yet melancholic, swinging guitarpoprockjangle, merseybeatish indie. A vibey, in-the-moment live-in-the-studio performance with superb, locked-in, inventive bass and drums from Andreas Nordell and Kyle Crane, with some guitar sparkle sprinkled on top from yours truly. Nice psychedelic folky rocky! Richard Thompson via Television string-bending at the end. Sore fingers galore! Can’t get enough of this track. I guess it’s my type of music!
