Susan O’Neill has released a heart-thumping new single “Bright Eyes” and announced a string of upcoming shows.
“Bright Eyes” is a soulful ode to keep going despite the obstacles life throws at you. It swaggers in and out of sublime gospel harmonies and soars to joyous heights with Susan’s unmistakable voice singing out the hopeful words “Out of the darkness into the colour, you’ll see me again”. It is her second release of 2024, following “Drive“.
Written with fellow bandmate brothers Cillian and Lorcan Byrne, “Bright Eyes” was engineered and produced by Christian Best in Cork and mixed by Canadian producer Daniel Ledwell.
Of the song, Susan said, “This song is about how eye contact can help change the feeling of someone’s sense of belonging and purpose. You don’t know when connecting with someone purely and honestly can be such a beautiful and crucial thing.
“The song talks about movement from a tough time into an understanding that things can change with a new perspective. It talks of the day to day happenings of someone that finds solace from a harsh reality in the eyes of others.”
