Light Of My Eye - Richy Vida
In this one, I explain briefly how I record these songs with such nice audio, despite being outdoors in the wind! This song was requested by one of my oldest friends, Marie, and is one of my own songs that I put on an album I released in 2005.

Chemical Sleep
According to the band, “Chemical Sleep is a look at the effects of addiction, through the eyes of a friend. While the song itself never refers to any particular vices, it can be applied to any and all ways in which we harm ourselves or seek escape. The song explores the attitude and personality changes we have seen in people close to us, from the excuses and lies we make to hide our habits, to the way we push others away when they try to help us.”
