Verse I:
I get lost everytime i looked you in the eye
It’s like i’m in a different dimension
Am i in a dream? A very strange dream
I don’t give a damn as long as you are with me
With me
Chorus:
Forever i will stare
Forever i will stare
Forever i will stare
Into your dreamy eyes
Verse II:
Are you hypnotizing me?
Lost in neverland when you gaze at me
(Repeat Chorus)
Don’t wake me i am dreaming, please don’t wake me i am dreaming.

Dreamy Eyes – A 360° Music Video

We just released a new music video for our song, Dreamy Eyes. Directed, Produced and Edited by Darrell A. Guinn. Here’s his interpretation of the song and how he came up with the idea/concept for the video:
“I spent a week listening to this song every day when the band started to work with me. To me, the lyrics take us on a journey where the writer finds himself totally lost in his affection for his muse. Because he feels things like he’s never felt before, he likens it to being in a dream or a fascinating dimension. He contemplates whether it’s only a wonderful dream and ultimately surrenders to not even caring if he is dreaming as long as he can stay in the moment with the object of his affection.
Musically, the deliquescent melody is unconstrained and drifts off without really defining a beginning and end. To me, this made the song perfect for a new technology that I had been wanting to experiment with. Until now, 360° video has mostly been confined to extreme sports (first person view of skiing, sky diving, etc) or gaming graphics. I’m proud to present an interpretation of this song that presents worthwhile visuals from all sides of the camera in a composition that includes intricate editing, fx, and even a narrative.
Immense credit is owed to the brilliant songwriting which carries the video.”

Verse I:
Huwag ng bigyang pansin
Puso mong naglalambing
Maaaring sa pagtagal
Di mo rin naman susundin
Kung saan saan nakakarating
Ang mga matang nagpapasaring
Kung mayron kang nais sabihin
Lumapit ka at aking diringgin
Chorus:
Mga palipad hangin mo sakin
Tila himig na nais awitin
Huwag mong daanin sa ligaw tingin
Ako’k naghihintay lang din
Verse II:
Kung pwede lang sana
Ang magpigil, magpagal
Lalo lang nadaragdagan
Kiliting nararamdaman
Chorus:
Mga palipad hangin mo sakin
Tila himig na nais awitin
Huwag mong daanin sa ligaw tingin
Ako’k naghihintay lang din

Verse I:
A rainy evening, quietly smoking
I’m lying on the clouds
Something’s shining, it’s quite distracting
A ray of light flashed right before my eyes
The rain has stopped
Chorus:
The moon looks fascinating
As the heavens stopped from weeping
The moonbeams are disarming
Angels chanting
Verse II:
What will be the ending of this unknown being?
Is there a portal to another world?
Glowing orbs at night, you unmanned satellite
I’m unbalanced and I’m high
High
Chorus:
The moon looks fascinating
As the heavens stopped from weeping
The moonbeams are disarming
Angels chanting
