Insider Info

Both Eyes Blind : This is a love story of a different sort. When cupid's arrow hits you, there's no time for research - no Google, no Consumer reports. When you're hit, you're hit. Might as well close your eyes, jump in, and hold on. Enjoy the ride!

When I go surfing at a new break, I stand there a while and check out the waves. What's going on with the ocean here? When I buy a new car, I'm all about reading every review I can find - going to auto shows and taking test drives. That said, when it came to the most important thing - love - I just jumped right in with both eyes blind. Ah, love. Just jump right in. Give it a try, won't ya? It sure worked for me.

This recording is a little bit of a sonic departure for me. My songs tend to be simple singer-songwriter acoustic guitar songs, but this one starts with drums. What's up with that? At least my Larivee C10-E ("Angel") does make an appearance, as does my G&L electric, my P-Bass, and the "Me, Myself and I" overdub choir.

I hope you like it. Let me know.

Both Eyes Blind

I go down to the ocean and I watch the water
Before I try to ride

Where's the peak? How's the shoulder?
How big is the drift?
And what's up with the tide?

How many waves in a set?
Do they wall, do they crumble?
If I paddle out what will I find?

But when it came to love I just jumped right in
With both eyes blind

Both eyes blind, as blind as a bat
I'd never been in love as deep as that
So much deeper than the deep blue sea
But it worked out fine for me, you see
It worked out fine for me

When I buy a car I gotta kick the tires
Sometimes I even kick the wheels

Gotta find it online to see how it's rated
And who's got the very best deals

I'll check with my friends, the crash test dummies
To see what's on their mind.

But when it came to love I just jumped right in
With both eyes blind

Both eyes blind, as blind as a bat
I'd never been in love as deep as that
So much deeper than the deep blue sea
But it worked out fine for me, indeed
It worked out fine for me

With a great big grin I jumped right in
And I won't have to do it but I'd do it again
There's only one thing left to say, my friend
Just jump right in

Now I've got a daughter and I call her Daught
She's way more cool than me
And I've got a wife and I love her a lot
My soulmate, I believe

And I've got this song and if you don't mind
I think I'd like to repeat this line
When it comes to love just jump right in
With both eyes blind

Both eyes blind, as blind as a bat
I'd never been in love as deep as that
So much deeper than the deep blue sea
But it worked out fine, oh yes sir-ee
It worked out fine for me

Just jump right in with a big ol' grin
You gotta jump in to the deep, deep end
So much deeper than the deep blue sea
It'll work out fine, no guarantees
But it worked out fine for me, Yup
