about

So this is the last track I recorded on my old iMac (purchased in 2013). My good friends purchased a new mac mini for me, which is what I used for the rest of this album.

I started this song with the idea that I wanted to be Charlie Puth at the same time as attempting to create a song that comprised only midi tracks (except for the vocals). I "finished" this song is about 4 or 5 days except for mastering it. I then created the rest of the album on my newly gifted computer.

After completing the other tracks, I came back to this one and realized it wasn't working for me 100%. It still needed a few squeaks tweaked. Since it's more repetitive than what I normally write, I ended up adding a couple of screamy vocal harmonies and acoustic guitars which fixed what wasn't working for me.

Even though I didn't follow completely my idea of only having midi tracks, you need to admit to yourself when something doesn't work if it's hindering the integrity of the song.

lyrics

The Boy With The Blue Eyes

I’ve been waiting such a long, long time
For the boy with the blue eyes
With the blue eyes
He should be here soon before too long
Yeah my boy with the blue eyes
With the blue eyes

I’ve been waking up from sleep at night yeah
The boy and his blue eyes fills my head
I can’t get back to sleep no I cannot
Just wanna see the boy with the blue eyes

Blue eyes
He walks away from the sun
Looking at blue eyes
He breaks the hearts of everyone
Blue eyes
He can confess he’s got it all
Looking at blue eyes
Blue eyes

I’ve been wait such a long, long time
For the boy with the blue eyes
With the blue eyes
My boy with the blue eyes
With the blue eyes

Blue eyes
Blue eyes

I’ve been waiting such a long, long time
For the boy with the blue eyes
With the blue eyes
He should be here soon before too long
Yeah my boy with the blue eyes
Yeah with the blue eyes

Blue eyes
As he walks away from the sun
Looking at blue eyes
Looks at me like I’m the one
Blue eyes
I must confess he’s got it all
Looking at blue eyes
Blue eyes
