#newwave #dancemusic #edm The lights are down and I'm lying on my back with my headphones on. The music is loud. It makes my head throb. "Close Your Eyes" is a track I worked on for several years, across several different releases. I first recorded it in 2010 for my album "The Shivers" - but I knew the mix just wasn't right. Then, I came back to it in 2014 when I was doing my "Primitive Mirrors" EP as Marianas. Finally, two years after that, I got it right. I hope you guys enjoy it. Lyrics: Baby, don't you know I've gone away But you're all wrapped Around these gears Dreaming that tomorrow is today And honey, do you think The world's gone by? But don't you look at me You're only growing Older 'til you die Close your eyes You're only growing older Close your eyes You're only growing older Close your eyes Baby, don't you know The world's okay But you're all stuck Inside these tears Wishin' that your life Would slip away And honey, do you think You've seen the sky? But you're the same as me You're only growing Older 'til you die Close your eyes You're only growing older 'Til you die You're only growing older Close your eyes To the fine folks at CD Baby (who seem absolutely DEDICATED to trying to strike down every song I upload to YouTube): I, Ian Marquis, am a customer/client of CD Baby.
