My Child’s Eyes

Written for the BBC ‘Be the Band’ Children in Need appeal 2004. Again, real life comments prompted this song. Both coming from Children themselves. One from Gary's son, after a close friend of the family's newborn baby girl sadly died. The other from an 8 year old boy after seeing the Beslan school massacre on television.  

Both asked “Why did they let those children die?” A heartfelt song of bewilderment. Why?

 

 

The song was written & produced by Paul & Gary, sung by Jamie Pye. From an initial idea to the CD arriving at BBC Radio Norfolk offices' was under two weeks! The 'boys' were invited to feature on Stephen Bumfrey's afternoon show, and enjoyed a good chin-wag at BBC Radio Norfolk's studios in The Forum. The song was destined for the second CD but due to the interest the song generated it will appear on the first.
