Though he wrote it in his kitchen in just four minutes, Adam Granduciel grew very attached to “Eyes to the Wind” and it took him months to finish; it was his attempt at being “open and honest.”
[Verse 1]
I was sailin' down here on the wind
When I met you
And I fell away again
Like a train in reverse down a dark road
Carryin' the whole load
Just rattlin' the whole way home
[Chorus]
Have you fixed your eyes to the wind?
Will you let it pull you in again
On the way back in?
I’m a bit run down here at the moment

[Chorus]
So I'll set my eyes to the wind
But it won’t be easy
To leave it all again
Just a bit run down here on the scene

Living in me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
As you set your eyes to the wind
And you see me pull away again
Haven't lost it on a friend
Just a bit run down here at the moment
And I'm all alone here
Livin' in darkness (Alright)

Robbie (Bennett) played piano on ‘Eyes to the Wind,’ and he worked with it for five months, learning it,...
