I had something to say about Gen X but I can't remember what it was now. I used to have a friend that was completely crazy about them, played the albums over and over.

i don't know. i guess i always thought it was ok as a song. i never paid attention to the lyrics, but i'm reading them now and i kind of like 'em except for the verse about las vegas and the psychedelic bus which is a big wtf.

I looked at them because I wondered if I'd missed anything in the song that I might have liked.
― Tim Ellison, Saturday, 16 June 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, the psych bus trip part is the weakest part of the song.
Oh man, I love his slightly off-key croon on this song - so sinister.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song. A little cheesy, but not enough to distract from its finery.

sfumato1002 (3 days ago) Marked as spam Its about people who feel rejected in this world of lies. They have eyes but no face. They try to still try to fit in into this world the believe the lies always trying to fit in and stay hip to what others think it's cool. But really this world in nothing. It's all a big lie and we need to be ourselfs and belief in ourselfs no matter what other think or feel about us. We make our own world by our thoughts. Love yourself. Only when you love yourself you will be able to love others.
I know there's always room for interpretation, but I find it bizarre that people can so completely miss the point of a song.

*cough* if that's an invite, I took out the macho chugging and slightly screwed it for a recent mix you may have snickered at. Still like how it sounds, and what it cross-fades into.

I really dislike the bridge in this song. I feel like the guitar solo and Billy's macho posturing during it really ruin and disrupt the sweet sexiness of the mood. I couldn't find another remix with this simple edit so I cut it out.
Here it is: Eyes Without A Solo
― Captain Ahab, Friday, 25 February 2011 05:43 (thirteen years ago) link
kind of disconcerting how the end of the solo cuts in so suddenly, but yeah, that's definitely my least favorite part too.

I played with it for a good while trying to cut the beginning verse into the post solo verse, but in the end I began to like the way the end of the solo cut in. I'll look at it again and see if I can make it a little smoother.
― Captain Ahab, Friday, 25 February 2011 07:10 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe cut in at the 'say your prayers' bit? if possible. it's not too far out from the overall mood, would add just a slightly sinister note.

So seems like Captain Ahab had the same idea- but it looks like it's been taken down.
Here's my version without the solo:
