Meadowlark – Eyes Wide. Bristol duo Meadowlark is out here making music of melancholic grandeur. Rising with the heat of Kate McGill’s tortured vocals, it only takes moments before they seep into the crevices of Daniel Broadley’s instrumentation, hot to the touch of pendulum synths that swing back and forth with a heavy-hearted vengeance. Like London Grammar melded with the floating delicacy of Arthur Beatrice “Eyes Wide” is fated to induce all the feels.
It’s safe to say there’s a good deal of buzz for Kate McGill and Daniel Broadley, better known as the pair behind avant-pop group Meadowlark. They just wrapped up a tour with Deaf Havana’s James Veck-Gilodi, and they’re releasing their brand new EP Dual on 30 March. Having already garnered tons of national radio support, it looks like they’re only set to grow as ‘Eyes Wide’ is a brilliant song that fans of London Grammar will instantly fall in love with. McGill’s pure, angelic voice floats atop Broadley’s hard-hitting percussion so perfectly that immediately grabs your attention – one listen to it and you know they’re destined for something huge.

Meadowlark – Eyes Wide Lyrics:
Wake up, wake up
Your heart is heavier today
Can you feel it?
Keep your eyes wide
For fear of being lead astray
Oh it hurts, hurts to love you
When you open your eyes wide
You’re ?? on the other side
The light is gone and your heart is tired
You’re ?? on the other side
Don’t think, don’t fight
You’re reminiscing us away
By the minute
Leave yesternight
Obey the sound of yesterday
Oh it hurts, hurts to love you
Oh it hurts, hurts to love you
When you open your eyes wide
You’re ?? on the other side
The light is gone and your heart is tired
You ?? on the other side
And don’t you know?
You live a lie
And don’t you know?
Cause in your sleep you started talking
I lost my mind
Oh I’d love to wake you, I’d love to wake you up
Oh I’d love to wake you, I’d love to wake you up
When you open your eyes wide
You’re ?? on the other side
The light is gone and your heart is tired
You’re ?? on the other side
And don’t you know? (You live a lie)
And don’t you know? (You live a lie)
Cause in your sleep you started talking
I lost my mind
And don’t you know? (When you open your eyes wide)
And don’t you know? (You’re ?? on the other side)
Cause in your sleep you started talking (The light is gone and your heart is tired)
I’d love to wake you, I’d love to wake you up
