Alternative/Electronica ('80s) CCM Recorded with nothing but an Ensoniq Mirage, Siel DK80 and an el-cheap-o Radio Shak mic run through a Boss PS-2 pitch shifter/delay guitar pedal into a Yamaha MT100 4-track tape recorder. Late '80s.
This "band page" is specifically for an album I assembled in 1994. The last several recordings are from 4-track tape in the '80s (summer of '88, mostly) and the rest are digitally recorded in the very early '90s. I thought this album and most of the songs in it were lost forever, and stumbled across it recently while looking through some old CDs! One track was withheld, because it is a "remix" of an existing worship song. Many of the songs on this page are "cut short" by SoundClick due to file size, but all the lyrics are included anyway. These are all old (rough) demos, but if there is interest, I could offer individual tracks for sale and make this a "VIP" site, so the tracks could be offered at full-length.

Story behind the song
This song is about the Body of Christ, and how we all need one another to function properly. It specifically asks the question "who do we need each other" in the phrases "how, why the hand, I do not understand; can't the eye be its own body". Intended to have a similar "feel" to Pink Floyd's "The Machine". This song was part of an album CD I put together in 1994, including several tracks from the late '80s, that were thought to have been lost forever when the hard drive they were all on crashed. Recently a single, scratched up CD containing the entire album was discovered at the bottom of a box full of other CDs.
Lyrics
The Eye Michael Blue How can you see Any other than me I am all that you need How can you know Anything else that goes I am the Eye, can't you see?! How can there be Any other than me I am all there need be How, why, the hand I cannot understand Can't the Eye be its own Body?! ©1994 - 2009 Michael Blue
