“When Will The Eyes Ignite” by Legacy Of Lovers

 

     The instruments, particularly the propulsive guitar drive, radiate urgency and forward momentum. Against that backdrop of immediacy, the recurring refrain - “It’s keeping me alive / Keeps me running,  Keeps me running” - becomes a declaration of purpose and motivation. Still, at times the lyrics take a “they” verses “we” approach. “They say” that we’re an easy target, that we are out of control, and that we are lost and broken. To each of these, there is a brief “show me” response voiced in shifted vocal processing. Legacy of Lovers tells us:
  “’When Will The Eyes Ignite‘ is a worldwide ignition for those who have felt dimmed for too long. It's about rediscovering our inner light, embracing our unique gifts, and realizing that no two people are meant to shine the same. Yet beneath it all, we share the same sky.”
 
     Legacy of Lovers is the musical project of Canadian Ryne D. Trevlon from Kirkland Lake, Ontario. After reaching rock bottom from his struggles with addiction, a telephone call gave Trevlon direction. Specifically, his friend and mentor Gary Taylor told him: "Record something that makes you content—and don't give us any of that cookie-cutter BS." Proving that musical creativity is not synonymous with technological complexity, Trevlon recorded his debut album, “Calm Cool Connections,” in the simplest, most unfiltered way possible—with an iPhone 7 and GarageBand. Both the singing and the guitar were captured through the earbud mic, preserving every sound exactly as it happened. Additional instruments and textures were shaped by performing directly on GarageBand.
 
     The extended title of his song is “When Will The Eyes Ignite {It’s Time For The Stars To Prize},” which is a combination of two heavy-reverberated lines from the verse that begins around 2:22. The 18 tracks on the debut album are available at the Bandcamp site of Legacy of Lovers - https://legacyoflovers.bandcamp.com/.

Lyrics of “When Will The Eyes Ignite” by Legacy Of Lovers
They say we're an easy target
(Show me your gun, show me your gun)
They say we are out of control
(Show me the way, show me the way)
 
It's time to let you go
It's been far too long
You're like a cold stone dragon eating at my heart
A world to call my own, like a fantasy
Unlike anything I have ever known
 
Been calling for some time
Feel it by my side
It's keeping me alive
Keeps me running
Keeps me running
 
Star shadows are aligned
Fire burns inside
It's keeping me alive
Keeps me running, keeps me running
 
They say we are lost and broken
(Show me the goal, show me the goal)
We say we will never stand down
(Show me the wave, show me the wave)
 
It's time to let you go
It's been far too long
You're like a cold stone dragon eating at my heart
A world to call my own, like a fantasy
Unlike anything I have ever known
 
Been calling for some time
Feel it by my side
It's keeping me alive
Keeps me running
Keeps me running
 
Star shadows are aligned
Fire burns inside
It's keeping me alive
Keeps me running, keeps me running
 
(Show me the way, Show the love)
{When will the eyes ignite}
(Show me the way, Show me the love)
{It's time for the stars to prize}
(Show me the way, Show me the love)
 
Been calling for some time
Feel it by my side
It's keeping me alive
Keeps me running
Keeps me running
 
Star shadows are aligned
Fire burns inside
It's keeping me alive
Keeps me running, keeps me running
