Burn Out My Eyes by Nektar

Burn Out My Eyes by Nektar
off the album Journey To the Center of the Eye

Where is my day?
Where are my nights?
They've all gone to sleep
They all said goodnight
Where are my days?
Where are my nights?
Won't you tell me?

Very soon there's gonna come a day
when they're all gonna run away
leaving only lifeless forms of yesterday
You keep saying the time is almost here
but I know within my mind you only live in fear
Now the sense that stops me going blind
makes me wish that I was drinking wine
leaving only lifeless forms that used to be my mind
destruction of the senses and the burning of my eyes

Dig this song, Nick. Heard it around 1975 when in high school. What a trippy sound, but I enjoyed the adventure into the bizarre, unknown, and eerie imagery. The music is unique and creative leading the listener on a "journey into the center of the eye." I connected the melodic parts of the song with "Void of Vision" and made an excellent cassette tune. I've seen Nektar perform twice, once in 1976 and again in 2006, but they didn't play this piece. Met Roye who sings lead. Hope he does it live.

I didnt listen to this LP until two years ago. Its a shame because i like this album and A Tab in the Ocean better than Remember the Future and that is classic. This song is fantastic sad haunting beginning the mellotron is awesome.
