It's been an absolute pleasure to work with
@Neil C on another collaboration and as the song has an exotic theme it's time to throw it into the "Spring Quest" Arena. We both wanted to work on something with an eastern vibe and the song started off with just a simple keyboard riff which is the verse.
Over to Neil and he knocked up a structure that went through a few iterations, laid down some guitar / bass drums and then I bombarded Neil with more and more bits of guitar / synth / rhythm.....
The story of the song is....
Western guy meets Asian girl, they fall madly in love, want to get married. Parents go mental as they have an arranged marriage, western guys parents are racists.
Girl gets sent to Pakistan / India to live with relatives
They dream of each other...
They think of each other by looking to the sky, see a star (although probably not possible due to time difference)
Hats off to Neil for all of his hard work on mixing this one as there are a lot of tracks.

Eastern Eyes
V1
A chance encounter after working late
My friends egged me on ,ask you for a date
We fell in love, well is that a surprise
Mesmerised by your eastern eyes
Ch
As I look up to the skies
I know that you are looking back
With Eastern Eyes
V2
Your father called it insanity
My parents were full of profanity
A love so strong will not be denied
I'll search for you everywhere, far and wide
V3
Now you're four thousand miles away
I didn't know when you flew away
Every night when I look to the skies
I know you're looking back with eastern eyes
V4
I'm still looking far and wide
Far and wide for my eastern eyes
