Eyes to Heaven
Eyes To Heaven was written for the youth musical Dream A Dark Tear which was first performed by pupils on the specialist music scheme at Wells Cathedral School. The show went on to have a successful run in St Helier, Jersey.
Dream A Dark Tear is a fictitious story of an internationally famous band who self destruct in the full glare of public view and scrutiny due to a scandal the band cannot recover from.
Eyes to Heaven is sung by the central character to the scandal as they desperately look for help. They sing how they would treat the love of their life if the roles were reversed in the hope that they will be the same to them. As the song unfolds in the last chorus as a duet, the love of their life leaves them despite feeling the same but the intensity of everything is too much for them leaving the central character alone.
