The 1st single from Meltt’s upcoming sophomore LP. Lyrically, Only In Your Eyes explores the idea of time as an unrelenting river that can carry us and our loved ones away. In this river of time nothing is as important as our attempts to find comfort, meaning, and happiness with the ones we love, even though we know some will reach the end of the river before us.
The song was written whilst the band were living in a remote cabin in the western Canadian woods. The band found that in the isolation of the previous years, and the solitude of the cabin, their music and lyrics began to reflect a need to connect with other people more than ever. This resulted in some of the bands brightest most colorful and energetic sonic palette that the band has ever used before.
lyrics
Floating down,
This river of time
In currents that we’re bound
I’ve come to find
That only in your eyes
Sunlight
The current’s strong,
Our presence won’t last for long
For now, somehow, moments move right through you
Your light, the night could not hope to hide you
Always in your eyes
Only in your eyes, for now
Driftin’ out
To the ocean’s embrace
Well did I make it count?
The moments we chased
But only in your eyes,
Horizon’s alight
The sun goes low
As I cling to the fading glow
For now, somehow moments move right through you
Your light, the night could not hope to hide you
Only in your eyes
Sun begins to rise, for now
(for now)
Sun

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
