ALAN TOWERS Acoustic Driven & Heart felt songs obsessed with expanding the boundaries of self-consciously meaningful lyrics.... RnR Entertai
I grew up in South East New England played a lot of gigs from New England to New York. I moved to NC and call that home. This is my first "Solo Project" It is Highly Addictive to me. When I'm not working on it,I think about it all the time. There's something about staying true to your heart that makes the music & the lyrics come pouring out I've always been very lucky to have been surrounded by great musicians. We have toured and played out from here to there and everywhere in between. I've spent the last few years building a recording studio. When I am not in the studio, I spend most of my time writing There is one song on the cd called "Close Your Eyes" it was written after 9/11. All of the pain inside of me. Lead me to write this song. It is Acoustic Driven with Heart felt meaningful lyrics CLOSE YOUR EYES WAS WRITTEN BECAUSE I NEEDED A VOICE:the streets, the faces the, people, the devastated buildings the broken hearts I wanted the people around me to feel secure & safe again....That's when Close Your Eyes was created. Writing lyrics that are self-consciously meaningful feels right in this song... Thanks For listening

Story behind the song
Close Your Eyes is a song that truly was born out of the mist of all the pain from 9/11. This song is for all the tears we cried that day and beyound. This song is for all the spirits lost on that day. We will never forget you....We will never forget the brave souls that stood up to fight. We are your bothers! We are your sisters! We are you friends!
Lyrics
Close Your Eyes copywritten(2001)) Words/Music By: Alan K. Towers Close Your Eyes Close your eyes my darlin Though I know that sometimes it’s hard to sleep But tonight You’re here safe with me OH what I’m seeing And what They’re saying I should be Dreaming Oh ooooh But I’m not Sleep’in When Innocent people Die It leaves you wonderin why An evil man He took a stand Yeh Then he runs to hide He’s got something to learn About American pride Hey Taliban Come out and fight like a Man This is the land of the free And I’m proud to live in the home of the brave Their’s some things we could change Yeah but Terror... Terror will never reign We’ll fight for peace in all the world For every MAN,BOY, WOMAN, and GIRL To live proud of their lives and Their religions An evil man can try But when innocent people die You know he can’t run and hide forever It’s a childs right to dream To see the world Like it’s never been seen One world That’s Free of evil I guess it’s time for reasons Why, Why innocent people have to die But their’s one thing One thing that I know It’s gonna take a while So close Your eyes Close your eyes my darlin Though I know that sometimes It’s hard to sleep But tonight you’re here safe And someday the world will change But tonight you’re here safe Here with me
