Blinding Me - Merry Ellen Kirk [Official Music Video]

http://www.merryellenkirk.com
One summer a few years ago I lost most of my eyesight temporarily--the alternate perspective really made me realize how our eyes can actually be a handicap to us. We consume ourselves and fill our time with all the little trivial things we see around us instead of directing our focus to the important things in life--our passions, the souls around us, the people we love.
Hope you enjoy the song and video!

Hello again, do you know who I am?
It's so nice to hear your voice again
Cause I've been looking in the mirror lately
And I still think that I'm torn in a million pieces

It's hard to say if it's give or if it's take
But I know it's only seeing
And what do I see, please tell me
The dark is overwhelming

But when I close my eyes, I see paradise
And my eyes are blinding me

I used to think that I would sail the seven seas
And take a break from this reality
Then again when reality's hardly a reality
It's hard to see when you're dreaming

And what do I see, please tell me
The dark is overwhelming
But when I close my eyes, I see paradis
And my eyes are blinding me

"Merry Ellen's CD [Invisible War] is excellent. I like the single - Blinding Me - the best. It fits her voice and style of delivery to great effect I think."
- Mark Isham, Grammy Award-Winning Film Composer

A few months back, I was bored, flipping channels on TV. I briefly heard the beginning of this song on one channel, and just hearing the first few lines, I immediately fell in love with this song and within a few minutes, found your website. It was completely by chance that I paused on that channel, and I'm so happy that I did!! I hope you find your way to Vancouver one day; I would love to hear you live! :)

@PlanetTegan What channel?? That's weird, I didn't know it was on tv....

[ronniecici]

9, 161 and 2 dislikes??? Oh, I see they were crying so hard they missed the "like" button.

If you ever thought about touring in Canada, a venue here is ready for you!

@merryellenkirk Sorry I've taken a while to answer! It was on a trailer for a movie called "Loving Lily", I think. I don't remember what channel... I found the trailer on youtube and they had credited you in the underbar; that's how I found you! :D
