    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.”

lyrics

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.”
