There is a kind of song that does not just play in the background and instead it transports you to a different world altogether and that is what Light In your eyes by MrGeorge does. It is the type of synth-wave that makes one feel like they have entered a time capsule and everything is awakening with that warm, nostalgic feeling of the 80s was such a natural experience in such an easy way.
In this song MrGeorge adds a lifetime of music to it – you can sense it by the manner in which the layers interlock, by the confident silence of the production. He has an East German grounding with LOTOS oozing through the sound in such a manner that it resembles a home that a person has inhabited. It is bathed in reverb and encircles those vintage warm sounds that puts that sleeping misty impression on it making you want to close your eyes a minute and just let it flow over you.
However the true attraction is the way the song evolves. It is not a hurry to his voice, but a breath, a repose, and a lifting in these intervals of sanity which fall directly to the emotional heart. The verses are nearly intimate, as though he is whispering the things we are always afraid to say to you and then the chorus is the feeling of release. It is the type of lift, which does not seem to be driven but rather a process that develops itself like a feeling turns into a truth as soon as you cease opposing it.
The song is on its core, about connection – the actual one, the one that calls upon you not to keep hiding but to be seen. It is bold in the way he goes about that theme. You can feel this mute agony in the singing, a sort of shuddering desire, and then the strength that comes to respond to it. It’s honest. It’s human. It is one who is violating his silence.
That is why Light In Your Eyes is a perfect piece. It does not aim at being 80s, it bears the spirit of the era as it is a part of the artist himself. But the emotion? That’s entirely now. It addresses the longing of the real in a world that continuously offers us a position to wear a pretense as us rather than be us. It is inspirational without making life sound easy, it is sweet without making one feel like being trapped in the past. The type of song that stays, in the chest, in the quietness, the gentle shimmer that lingers in the air when the final synth cuts off.
