    World-renowned performing and recording artist David Sancious, was an original member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. He has toured and recorded with greats Peter Gabriel, Sting, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Santana, Seal and an expansive list of A-level musicians. Sancious also wrote, produced and performed ground-breaking progressive music with his band Tone, mixing rock, fusion and gospel.

    He explores new territory with the release of his 10th album “Eyes Wide Open.” Eight energetic compositions feature dynamic performances by legendary names such as premier drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, Living Colour's Will Calhoun (drums), and Prince alumnus Michael Bland (drums).

    A balanced mix of four vocal and four instrumental compositions, “Eyes Wide Open” is what Sancious describes as “a movie for your ears.” Spoken word is interspersed with political commentary and newsbreaks to create a musical and “visual” landscape addressing today's volatile racial and political issues head-on through his signature sound.

    Sancious describes his new album as, “The best work I've ever done.”

EYES WIDE OPEN Hey!!! ... It's not OK!! You will not believe what some people say Up is down ... the sky is on the ground SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK is the name of a town somewhere Somewhere in America Keep Your Eyes Wide Open ... Keep Your Heart Wide Open Keep Your Eyes Wide Open ... So you can really see Every day, every lie they say Looks like the Portrait of Dorian Grey May be white may be black, but you can Kiss my alternative fact Keep Your Eyes Wide Open ... Keep Your Heart Wide Open Keep Your Eyes Wide Open ... So you can really see

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT Spoken: Five o'clock in the morning man ... Can't sleep, can't believe I'm in this situation These mathematics ... can't make it work Brother needs a job! Oh ... Woe is We Such a strange society I bow my head and bend my knee In the middle of the night, I don't sleep so well Refugees and immigrants Politicians and presidents Making laws that make no sense In the middle of the night, we don't sleep so well I used to dream so peacefully Once upon a time everything was fine ... (what happened?) Oh Say Can You See? How we can save Democracy How we can right the wrongs we see In the middle of the night, we don't sleep so well Sometimes ... Sometimes

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: “The basic thing about a man is not his specificity, but his fundamentals. Not the texture of his hair or the color of his skin, but his eternal dignity and worth.” May I walk the streets alone Free from suspicion? If you change your mind Maybe in my lifetime ... (Oh yea?) Maybe not When you look into my eyes Oh ... Do you see me? When you look at me is it me that you see? Not something that you saw last night on TV ‘Cause that's not me! STUDENTS: “We’re out here ... We've been here ... We're ain't leaving ... We are love.” DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: “To sacrifice and even to die if necessary in order to BE free! This reveals that we have come a long, long way.” Every day ... That's what I pray. That's the way I pray. LISTEN! STUDENTS: “We’re out here ... We've been here ... We're ain't leaving ... We are love.” That's what I pray. That's the way I pray. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: “Fleecy locks and black complexion cannot forfeit nature’s claim. Skin may differ but affection dwells in black and white the same. I must be measured by my soul. The mind is the standard of the man.”

See this world ... (So bright and shiny) See my dreams ... (IN the middle of the road behind me) You know how freedom feels, and you feel it when it fades away If every star in the sky denies every lie we're told (more than a mystery) If all our lifetime is a movie in your mind (... like a movie) If you come back again If you could choose the color of your skin If the sun fell from the sky If the tears won't leave your eyes
