My Eyes Are The Only Ones You See (Version 1)

We received little interest in this song here at MCS. Maybe this finished version will change your mind.

I/we would still love to hear a female version (and/or different male versions too).

This is the respective thread in Studio "A":

Lyrics: Darlene C. McCoy
Music: Steffen Offermann
Vocals: Michael McGeehan

Edit 23 Nov 2009: I will work on the mix some more. The latest version can always be found on my website:

I think this sounds excellent, Steffen!
Gorgeous music/melody, and the vocals are lovely.
I can see how the lyrics would call for female vocals as well.

Good job all round, people.

Hey Steffen, are you after Andrew Lloyd Webber's job?

It's so nice to hear songs like this being composed here. I enjoyed the listen.

Well done!

Paul, Billy, and Mimmo - thank you, guys!

Billy, I would LOVE to write music for a musical. But of course some dreams will never come true ...

I will update the mix on my web site every now and then. I think I'll better the link to the first post now ...

Regards,
Steffen

Excellent work, Steffen and Darlene. My favorite part is when the harpsichord comes in at the end.

Excellent composition Steffen, couldl also sound good with a female vocal, hope we find out soon. Your vocalist on this really reminds me of a guy call Niel Hannon, ( Devine Comedy) you can google either and come up with loads of goodies with piano and vicals but if you want a quick taste clik this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHLOC8j79JU&feature=related

Hi Steffen,

Very well produced arrangement and production!

You really do have a mastery over this style.

The vocals are top notch, as are the lyrics.
Sounds very professional!

Thanks to you all!

I wish I could mix it better, but I seem to need a LONG break.

Maybe next year.
