EYE EYE - Out On A Limb

[WhitneyThree]

LOVE EYE EYE! Good memories! JL

[rockybudgeboa]

I remember I met one of these guys back in the 90s when I was working at a Temp job. He was a courier now. I LOVE this song

[tadeuz30]

Precioso.

[jasonpfahy]

Holy hell, I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

Thanks so much for posting this! :)

[doglove555]

LOVE LOVE! Bill Wood and co. were awesome guys - always made time to have a visit with me when they were in Halifax. What a trip down memory lane. :)

[cloutierfan1]

Great News Folks. Eye Eye is now available on i tunes store. I have been looking for this forever and finally found it. Pass it on to Eye Eye fans. Rock on 80's

[Sheldon66]

I hear this song all the time on a lite rock station all the time, but it's an extended version. I would love to get my hands on it. I have this one on MP3 and is always on my ipod. Bill...you gotta get your band's first LP on CD!!

[KyleWalkers]

Love this song!

[KurtmanJP]

Great band! I love their signature sound. Reminds me of a mix of Modern English (I'll Stop The World And Melt With You) and Gin Blossoms.

[arober2]

wow, been looking for this song for a while; to get the video too is fantastic!

Keep up the good posting!

[terry9966]

Great happy tune , i can't even listen to the shit today

[funchewy17]

music with feel, music with melody, not "entertainers" aimlessly playing

[Sheldon66]

"Catch me this time..for it could be the last time...here I am out on a limb...looking for this CD!! Anyone seen it anywhere?? Does it exist in CD format??

[mybasshas7strings]

Sorry everyone, the first record never made it to CD, tape and vinyl only, the second one was out on CD. Bill had some vinyl copies of "Just in Time.." left in the basement but they are all now in the hands of diehard 80's fans, as are the remaining copies of the CD's I believe. I have the entire second album and 4 tracks from the first in mp3 format. If you want to have just the songs, drop me a note. If Bill says it's cool, I'll give you a link to download them from a storage server online.

[kthorricks]

I would love to have the songs on my mp3.....can you send me the link?

[vertigotango]

The second album "Common Ground" came out on CD, and it had bonus tracks - 4 songs from "Just in Time to be Late" including "Out on a Limb" and "X-Ray Eyes".

[ah19741]

@vertigotango Are you sure? Cuz I got the record from gemm.com (Only place I could get it - can't even get CD or tape) and I don't see those tracks. Anyways, love this song, and canadian 80's music (W gary o being my fave - again, get his tape or record from gemm.com if have tape or recoed player), was true golden era of rock! cats can fly, BLVD, Arrows, partland Brothers, and Jim foster good and hard to get, too

[vertigotango]

@ah19741 The CD has the bonus tracks, not the record.

[taseigel]

Man I'm old. It just seems like it was yesterday that I was drinking a beer listening to this song at the U of T. Sniff.....

[maybenot84]

Nevermind that the sound is out dated! This is a great song & no wonder... Canadian. I'm American & I will always say the best talent is with the Brits and Canadians, hands down. BTW for an eighties music video with the hairspray saga, this is a really COOL video. It could've been real cheesy! Great song & video.

[blemSclem]

definitly my fav video of my uncles, bill wood rules lol

[maybenot84]

Hey, is your uncle a Bryan Ferry fan. He reminds me of him in this video. Oh and Bowie. I wonder if he's a fan.

[maybenot84]

Whoops! I meant the singer. Nevermind.

[rhaldane]

thats awesome that you have this, i've been looking for awhile.

[rhaldane]

this is my uncle's band. he played bass.

[kabutoisgay]

@rhaldane thats actually awesome cause my uncle is bill wood, is your uncle the bassist in his new band?

[RioWalkers]

A great song & video!!!

[moni0123]

Ahhh, yes. No New Wave like Canadian New Wave. :) I was lucky enough to catch this on the airwaves, growing up on the Canadian border. Good schtuff.

[CheetohChaser]

It took me 10 yrs to find the Common Ground CD, finally finding it at a used record store in Toronto (I'm in the U.S.) Had it about a year before my car got broken into and all my CD's were stolen. I've been looking for it ever since. Good luck to those of you looking for it! It's a challenge but well worth it. This CD brings me many happy memories of the fall of '88. It's an example of how music can bring so much happiness to the world, and no matter how old it is, memories are timeless.

[SquareD68]

@CheetohChaser Common ground album is on sale on itunes.

[suckcess1]

I've been looking for this song for years, absolutely love it, thanks so much! Where can I buy it?

[Sheldon66]

Eye Eye!! This is a lost classic Canadian gem

[RioWalkers]

! agree, Sheldon66

[JessieWolfs3]

A great video! Thanx for the posting!!!

[blemSclem]

no he wasn't

[blemSclem]

uncle bill, you are my idol. the musical ambition does run in the family.

[kcramone]

I bought the CD Common Ground back in the day, they drummer died and that was the last I heard from them. Shame, the sound is now dated but man what a great cd. Bet they had more in em.

[rockobam]

really cool, he's your dad, do you have musical ambition too?

[corriganya]

It is one of the best ever..maybe Mark Holmes tried to hard to be Bill Wood.

I made an eye eye fan page on myspace.

myspace com/eyeeyefan

[mybasshas7strings]

If anyone wants to see the rest of Eye Eye's vids, I got them from Bill and they are on my page, all 4 of the band's vids are up there.

[mwood33]

Hey! Bill Wood, the singer for Eye Eye is my dad, and I just wanted to give you guys an update. His new solo album is going to be released really soon. His myspace is billwoodmusic, and new music should be posted soon. Keep supporting Canadian music!

[mybasshas7strings]

Hey wow, thanks Mary, was a big fan of your Dad's back in the 80's, I'll check out his myspace.

[rockobam]

cool, he's your dad, do you have musical ambition too?

[blemSclem]

hi mary margaret, you should have told me about this i could have been showing this off sooner, oh it's neil by the way

[mwood33]

hey! it's so awesome. The musical ambition does run in the family I agree. I'm studying music and Neil here is a rock star in the making. Be sure to look out for us. Haha

[Sheldon66]

Mary....any idea where I can pick this up on CD?

Cheers,

Sheldon

[Sheldon66]

Hey Mary! Thanks for this information. I absolutely love this song and EYE EYE. I am going to check out your Dad, Bill Wood.

Cheers!

[wolfnoire65]

Just a simple thanks from someone who is still stuck in the 80's...and missin' Incredible long lost Canadian sounds!

[mybasshas7strings]

Someone post some Brighton Rock and my life will be complete! lmao! "We Came to Rock!"

[mybasshas7strings]

OK, you are now officially freakin' awesome Kurdtss! I couldn't believe this came up when I searched it. I wish I could find more from these guys. The drummer died in some horrible accident after the 2nd album from what I remember. Can't find anything on the net from them, I'd love to get the albums on CD since I only had tape at the time, hard to find a lot of this great old Canadian stuff on CD now, it's all out of production.

[kermode123456]

what were the other 4 hits eye eye had love the band thanks.

[canucktunes]

X-Ray Eyes, Faithfully Yours, Endless Night, My Sensation - Their first three hits were from "Just In Time To Be Late", which wasn't released on CD. But these were added as bonus cuts on the CD version of "Common Ground", which contains the remaining hits.

[dexterriley]

cool thanks for posting. Im havebn flashbacks to teh mix tapes of teh 80's. Im hopen u have frozen ghost coz now its in my head 2..lol Excellent stuff kurd

[whistledog]

Eye Eye were awesome! Shame they only had just the 4 hits :(
