  • Song: Open Up Your Eyes
    Artist: Tonic
    Album: Lemon Parade
    Release: 1996
    LYRICS:
    Choosing stones
    Big enough to drag me down
    Where I am People's voices make hollow sounds
    Just be quiet,they'll go away
    Open up your eyes
    Don't let your mind tell the story here
    Open up your eyes
    Just let me go
    It's so safe, It's so safe floating in the glass
    While above, While above all your troubles pass
    Just be quite They'll go away
    Open up your eyes, Don't let your mind tell the story here
    Open up your eyes Just let me go
    ( lead )
    Open up your eyes Don't let your mind tell the story here
    Open up your eyes Just let me go ,let me go ,let me go
    Open up your eyes Just let me go

    14 years ago I was on the bow of a ship at night, looking up at the stars, had my headphones on, played this song over and over again...I was ALONE, as the wind ran the other passengers inside, one of the greatest memories of my life...

      I was born 1970 in Austria. I was working in small town in the Heartland of Georgia,as I was listen this song for the first time. That was 27 years ago.I love all kind of music, from the 50's until now. But one thing is for sure. This genius album is one of the OUTSTANDING records, I ever bought. I was listen every single song more than 1000 times. And the music sounds even better, as the first time.Its just a masterpiece of Rock History👍👍👍👍

      The guitar tracks are different for sure. The talk box is only prominent at the end of the video version . The album main guitar has a different strum pattern during the verses as opposed to the video . The two lead guitar tracks are taken out of the video during the lead portion

    Neglected again!
    Can't believe it....
    I drive away...in madness...then this tune plays on the radio waves...and I SING WITH THE RIFF. I must be quiet...I must open my eyes...and see the TEMPTATION...I must not let my mind get the best of me. I MUST NOT LET THESE STONES AND VOICES DRAG ME DOWN. I must LET GO AND TRUST IN THE MERCIFUL GOODNESS OF CHRIST; His Cup - my glass. For this, too, shall pass. But I hate it all the same...take my pain...use it Lord...and forgive me for neglecting You
