Music Review:

“Πόσα δυνατά συναισθήματα μας ξυπνά αυτό το μοναδικό κομμάτι. Η απίστευτη και ιδιαίτερη χροιά των φωνητικών σε ταξιδεύει στα βάθη της ψυχής σου μέχρι να δεις την αλήθεια καθαρά μέσα σου. Η απαλή και μελαγχολική μελωδία σε ανατριχιάζει και οι εναλλαγές της κάνουν την καρδιά σου να χτυπά δυνατά. Ο ρυθμός ήσυχα σε παρασύρει στα δικά του μαγικά μονοπάτια χωρίς να σε προδίδει ποτέ. ”

Press Release – About Song:

Artist said: ” I am particularly preoccupied with the theme of childhood, childlikeness, a return to childlike states , and the child that is born and/or dies within us — as well as the child that exists out there in the world more broadly. Through this theme, I was led to write several short prose texts and poems. One of these pieces is titled “Shortly After It Found Us” and is dedicated to all the children who stopped being children in the most violent ways because of the “grown-ups.” From this text emerged the lyrics and central theme of the piece “Xekourasou”, which is a plea to the human being to take a step back and listen to the child — their own child, the child next door, the child living on the neighboring continent, and the child within themselves. And to care for them, because children are the only ones who remain.”

“Η ωραία αισθαντική διάθεση των φωνητικών σε παρασύρει σε μια γοητευτική και ερωτική ατμόσφαιρα.

Lyrics of Chris Jobe – Talking With Your Eyes

Talking with your eyes
Yeah you’re talking now
Talking with your eyes
What we talking ‘bout
Nobody will Know while we’re in this crowd
Falling in love thats a lovely sound

How did you notice me notice you notice me
How did you get to a place so honestly
You didnt think your stare would raise a hair on my neck
when you looked my way

Talking with your eyes
Yeah you’re talking now
Talking with your eyes
What we talking ‘bout
Nobody will Know while we’re in this crowd
Falling in love thats a lovely sound

I didn’t know that you
Could be something so special
And I can see
By the way your eyes are staring at me
Changed my mind
I think I can try
I think I can ride
I think I can Fly and go to heaven tonight
I think I can try
I think I can ride
I think I can Fly and go to heaven tonight

Talking with your eyes
Yeah you’re talking now
Talking with your eyes
What we talking ‘bout
Nobody will Know while we’re in this crowd
Falling in love thats a lovely sound

Talking with your eyes
What we talking ‘bout
Nobody will
Falling in love

Chris’s latest single, **“Talking with Your Eyes,”** delves into the mystery and intensity of falling in love, exploring the silent power of eye contact and the secrets it can reveal. Written and recorded during a transformative journey in the Costa Rican jungle, the track began with a hypnotic acoustic guitar riff, played in the reverb-rich kitchen of his *casita*. Using a cooking utensil container as a makeshift mic stand, Chris captured the haunting allure of classical finger-style picking blended with jazzy chords, embodying the magnetic pull of connection.

Inspired by the vibrant nightlife surrounding him, the lyrics reflect his observations of strangers trying on different stares—seeking love, escape, or something in between.

Entirely written, produced, and performed by Chris, this song marks the second of eight tracks he’ll be releasing in the coming months. Accompanying the single is a music video, set to premiere on **November 22, 2024**, featuring stunning visuals created with a USD70k projector and bold beachside shots that nearly ended in disaster.

Stay tuned for more from this compelling series of releases!

THE END – Ian Biggs

Categories: Audio, Features, Pop, Pop Features, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Alt Pop, Ian Biggs, Indie Pop, Pop Rock, Review (EN), Spotify Playlist - Pop by Nagamag, United States|

“Modern sound and production can be felt instantly. Its mixture of pop and subtle rock touches are done so well. Lead vocal is the real hook within the song, really catchy and wonderfully edited and produced. Beautiful synth atmosphere creates wonderful vibe within the song. Rhythm is really groovy, playful as well, as well is the song. ”

Lyrics of Ian Biggs – THE END

Here we are at the end of all things
Your hand in mine as the sky is falling
These California sunsets don’t hit the way they once did
But we lived in the light they would bring

Nothing good lasts forever
But because of you I’m better
I know I’d be nothing if I had no life with you

we’ll be bones six feet under
Where we go makes me wonder
If it’s all for nothing at least it’s all with you

Here’s to the end
Toast to the memories
Our time came and went
Let’s let go gently
I wish you the best
Don’t hold it against me
So here’s to the end
Don’t you oh don’t you forget

You were ever so good to me
If we’re gonna die let’s go peacefully
I hold no resentment you are still my best friend
But we were everything that we could be

Nothing good lasts forever
But because of you I’m better
I know I’d be nothing if I had no life with you

Here’s to the end
Toast to the memories
Our time came and went
Let’s let go gently
I wish you the best
Don’t hold it against me
So here’s to the end
Don’t you oh don’t you forget

Don’t you oh don’t you forget me
Don’t you oh don’t you

Here’s to the end
Toast to the memories
Our time came and went
Let’s let go gently
I wish you the best
Don’t hold it against me
So here’s to the end
Don’t you oh don’t you forget

This song is about two people being grateful for the time they had together rather than lamenting that their time together is finite. It can be perceived both as the ending of a romantic relationship and also the end of the world.
