Commenting on the new single, he shares, “Third Eye is about trying to hold onto the memories, advice and words of wisdom given to me over the years as I progress through life, whether that may be words shared with me by close friends & family, or from loved ones that have passed. The song originally came into existence with the memory of my grandfather, he was a legend who greatly influenced my life and provided a lot of advice. As I wrote the song, it started to take a shape of its own in a whole new way since losing a few more close friends. The track started as a riff that I built on guitar, then gradually added to in the studio, it took on a life of its own and has made it what you hear now.”
