Open Your Eyes by Jethro Bassman

The Wetband

In 2006, I wrote and recorded a song called Open Your Eyes. This was a song of anger and frustration directed at a friend who I thought was wasting her life away through alcoholism. I felt she was alienating her family and friends and worse affecting her own health. Unfortunately, 2 years later the song proved to be more prophetic than I hoped when our friend lost her battle with alcohol. I never played or listened to the song again until recently while remastering a collection of my songs. I rediscovered the song, remixed it, and have now posted it on Alonetone. I welcome your feedback on this one. Jethro
