about

Jascha:
I was 16 years old when I started writing this song, it was summer holiday, I would get a fresh start at a new high school and I just got my first semi-professional keyboard. Open Up Your Eyes was a very small demo song I recorded with my newly bought keyboard. It was a song just about that ‘fresh new feeling’ that I felt back then.

Now, a good 8 years later I started working on it again for The Okies. Just a few bits of the original song, style and melody remained, but the message stayed that same. It’s a song about trying out new things, getting out of the house and exploring your surroundings. A song about meeting new interesting people and leaving the bad things of your life into the past
