about

Eye of the Storm is warning of dwelling on the past, becoming consumed by things you cannot change.

The original concept was written by 18-year-old Carys Hughes, who worked with her twin sister Keeley to produce their distinctive dreamy angelic harmonies, backed by a gentle piano riffs and graceful synthesizer pads programmed and produced by Mike Guy.

lyrics

Don’t backtrack don’t look at it, the past is closer than you know
Move faster try to outrun it, don’t wanna get caught up alone

In time, little moments frozen in the snow,
In time, can’t get there anymore

The eye of the storm x2

Don’t backtrack don’t imagine, the past is colder than you know,
uncontrolled don’t stare at it, that mess will swallow you whole

In time, little moments frozen in the snow,
In time, can’t get there anymore

The eye of the storm x2

Got to let you go, gotta let you go before chaos takes hold x2

In time, little moments frozen in the snow,
In time, can’t get there anymore

The eye of the storm x2

about

72RPM Records Wirral, UK

Everything sounds better at 72RPM because the control is with the artists...because 72rpm Records is run by the artists.
What else can we say about 72rpm?
..well, it's not quite as fast as 78rpm....which is pretty much how we like it.
