YouTube version ---> Rises in Your Eyes - The Efts
I tend to write songs for Lolo for various reasons. This was her Christmas 2009 song. It's nice being married to such a wonderful inspiration for music. I came up with the idea for this song while driving to a conference in Flatwoods. I tried writing the lyrics on my PDA which was laying open in the passenger's seat. Later when I reviewed my notes, it appeared that I wrote the following lyrics:
The sur siisn WV bul it rissn vour eys.
Luckily I was able to translate. I recorded this song the next day.
Lyrics: It is time to start a routine again. And I know you have the same. But I always seem to be surprised just how beautiful your eyes are. We share this couch together riding across time. The sun sets in West Virginia, but it rises in your eyes. And we build these walls up really high. And we hold each other really tight. And we're never gonna go outside again.

This is prolly my fave. Of course, it IS the most complimentary of my songs. Does that make me conceited? Oh well.
ReplyDeleteLolo's eyes tend to change color from green to brown to somewhere in between. It can be startling. I keep thinking I pretty much know what to expect when I look into those eyes, but their beauty is always shocking. Also, if you have a song written about your eyes you actually have a license to be as conceited as you'd like.
