That's What All The Songs Are About
"With the exception of some string arrangements on "You Me We", this album was composed, performed and recorded exclusively with guitars, bass and drums. For the last few years I haven't touched the keyboards, preferring to just play guitar. On this album it's mostly Charvel super-strat, Les Paul guitars and Marshall amplifiers, also some acoustic guitars, a sitar guitar and a Charvel super-strat. There is also a vocoder, not sure if it's an instrument or an effect!?" Matt January 2022
Eye is keen
Eye is keen
I see you in my mind
I know you see me too
Here we are you and me
There is nowhere else I would rather be
Forever under a cloudless sky
As the world goes by
When we go walking
We walk in Copenhagen sun - go walking
No need for talking
We walk in Copenhagen sun - no talking
And if you desire no more than this
Perhaps it’s enough to merely exist
But we can live outside of time
Love is sunshine
Here we are you and me
There is nowhere else I would rather be
As the world goes by
I saw you hiding in plain sight
I didn’t take my eyes off you
And your reaction in plain sight
Told me you saw me too
Plain sight
I know you
I live you
And now we’re living in plain sight
Sharing a point of view
This feels like heaven in plain sight
This feels like me and you
We’re walking in plain sight
We’re walking
We’re walking in plain sight
I know what you want and what to do
I know your name and it suits you
I need you close but not to possess
We were made for each other more or less
Eye is keen
And wide awake
This is so much more than
Give and take
We can talk about lovers from the past
And all the reasons they didn’t last
We’ve always been the way we are
If we try to leave we won’t get far
My arms around you
Your hand in mine
Never been so tongue tied
Another thief in my mouth
And he’s stealing my words
I want to tell you something
I want to speak from the heart
I don’t know where to begin
And every song on the radio
Can say it so much better than me
I can’t see straight or the wood for the tree
I’m lost in this geography
It’s obvious and easy to see
That’s what all the songs are about
That’s what all the songs are about
I have chosen this song
It was written for you
Turn your radio on
When doubt creeps in
And you give in to thoughts within
You turn your head and look away
Imagining a different day
It doesn’t matter what I say
It doesn’t matter what I do
If this is what we’re getting to
And this is what we mean to you
Come back to me
Know this eye is keen
Come back to me
Find me in your dream
