The Mind's Eye
FROM DEMO TO RELEASE
Hear what modern tools can make of original work: the demo as it was written and recorded, next to the finished track.

THE STORY
This was a long shot.... the demo is actually a 'spiritual' track, where I had lyrics in mind. And here is where I really let modern technology cover the demo track into a song.... so. slop? Yeah, well i think so partly, but the song fucking kicks ass. So release I will... ;-)
THE WORDS
The Minds Eye
They close the door and let the lights go low Something in the dark begins to glow A street they've never walked, a face they used to know Painted on the lids of their eyes, slow Nothing out for fame Just a flicker calling out their name And they're falling in They see it with their mind's eye Colors that the daylight can't deny Every place they've ever been Every dream they've let in Burning bright behind those eyes They see it with their mind's eye Summer kitchen, laughter down the hall Faded photographs upon the wall Nothing ever leaves them, nothing's lost at all It lives where the light can't fall No lens could ever hold it right No words could ever make it quite But they can feel it now They see it with their mind's eye Colors that the daylight can't deny Every place they've ever been Every dream they've let in Burning bright behind those eyes They see it with their mind's eye Where do the lost things go? They go inside Cities built from memory Oceans made of what could be Tell me, who needs the world outside When they can see it all with their mind's eye They see it with their mind's eye Every star in their own private sky Every place they've ever been Every dream they've let in Burning bright behind those eyes They see it with their mind's eye Ooh, ooh Behind their eyes Ooh, ooh
