Behind My Eyes - Sheila Kirsten Hughes / Sting (original)

This is a song that Sting wrote for me. Keep watching after the song is over to find out how that came to be.

Sorry about the choppy editing at the end when I tell the story of how Sting was involved in the creation of this song. I had to edit it down to get the video under 10 minutes. Hopefully the story still makes sense.

All vocals and instrumentals were captured live with the mic in my camera, then mixed with Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Studio Pro, for those of you asking how I put this layered video together.

Thanks so much for watching. Hope you enjoy our collaboration. ;)
-Sheila


LYRICS:
I wander these rolling hills
I walk through my day in my mind
Feel the chill of a wind on my face
From memories frozen in time

The smoke from my breath circles 'round
It conjuers up ghosts from the ground
There's swords in their hands and they're fighting an endless war
It's the circle of life and it's pulling me in

If I could just change my mind
If I could just change my mind
If I could just change my mind
If I could just change I might be free

Musical Bridge. . .

I'm tracking my enemies down
Got one cornered in the mirror hiding behind my eyes
There's blood on her hands and her tongue is a sharpened sword
She stabs me with her words, it's a torrid affair
But I always pull through

If I could just change my mind
If I could just change my mind
If I could just change my mind
If I could just change I might be free

Ad lib. . .

ur alittle bit nutty but who isnt =) i love this song and almost every song you've sung. im just waiting for you to explode on an international scene but then again. if u did i probably wouldnt like you as much as i do right now... there is something about going big and selling out. never sell out and you got a fan for life =). take care

[skhughesband]

I know exactly what you mean. LOL. There must be something psychologically about that. There have been several artists I have really liked a lot, but when they get too huge, suddenly, I'm not so interested anymore. I still listen, but not as enthusiastically. Why is that?

Nice to hear from you again.
