He shares:
“I’m elated to share the next chapter from boy – a song called ‘Close My Eyes.’ I wrote this as I headed into my late 20s and felt an unavoidable wave of fear and anxiety towards the inevitable death of my youth. I found myself unable to sleep because every time I tried; it was as if a film of my life was projected onto the back of my eyelids. The mistakes, successes, everything that could have been, and everything that was. I felt physical growing pains of becoming a fully realized version of myself while having to say goodbye to the past.”
‘Close My Eyes’ is out now. boy is scheduled for release in April.
