Noah Pope - eyes

this mf rocks

Ghostly sounds peering over this beautiful guitar, what sounds like synths bends into a new guitar, setting this intimate eerie tone. What a scene.

Pope joins from there, his voice soft and full of breath, barely more than a whisper and just as intimate. Matching the deeply personal lyrics too, a letter to an old friend.

We shift into gear, and his melodies are so wild - light is pouring from the treetops, like how the hell did you come up with that run???

Now halfway through, the drums kick in, with some vocal layers added on top, the band picking up more momentum with every couple of lyrics. Sit back and let it wash over you.

Eventually, we fall into this heart-to-heart of a bridge, Pope dropping wisdom over some of the tightest fucking drums I’ve ever heard. If you said what’s going on I know you’d be alright. I could use to remember that myself. Pope spotting some deep anxieties in his friend. Knowing that speaking those things aloud always helps. And lets the people around you in, to help you too.

A small pause to really breathe deep into that knowledge, before Start to lose your mind / when you talk comes rolling out and the band returns at full force and WHAT A FORCE.

Please don’t hide your face I need to see your eyes

You’re beautiful exactly as you are.

<3 what a affirming and loving song.
