Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Burr Island Releases New Song “Your Eyes, My Eyes”
London-based folk duo Burr Island, consisting of Tom England and Oskar Porter, released a new song “Your Eyes, My Eyes” on May 10, 2024 via Left Foot Records.
The song is the third single of 2024, following “Our Home” and “Later”.
Thee songs will appear on their upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released in 2024.
The track was written by Oskar Porter and Tom England, and Produced by Steve Cradock.
The song is a sweet piano ballad full of feeling, an easy yet poignant listen, and an ode to the devotion felt in all of love’s forms.
The duo said of the song, “This is a love song for anyone who wants it. Whether you're a grandmother cherishing the time with your young grandchild, friends with an unbreakable bond, star-crossed lovers sinking into each other's eyes or somebody trying to communicate with the loved one they've lost.”- They continued, “Like most of our songs, it was written on guitar and it remained a guitar song until the very last minute. We were never fully happy with the old version and felt the song needed a gentler tone. So we went with our guts and completely started again...”
They added, “We're so so happy we did! The brilliant Nikolaj Torp Larsen (The Specials) agreed to play piano for the new version and as soon as we heard his performance, we knew it was the one. We feel that sonically it's added another texture to the album.” -
