Open Your Eyes (rough mix)

the bass and drum parts are a little different and so are the guitars.  there are some horns and organs added throughout.  I only recorded one take of the vocals so they are a bit pitchy and rough and will no doubt be improved upon.

at the moment the song plays out for a couple of minutes at the end – that bit will either be edited down or will feature some new guitar overdubs.  you’ll just have to wait and see . . . . .
