​​Center Of Your World

​​Center Of Your World by FERNANDO'S EYES is an enigmatic and passionate collection of two indie rock tracks, with a vintage, punk vibe. Throughout the two songs, the vocal and melodic texture convey passion from beginning to end. While the first song, Center Of Your World, has a developed narrative, the track meets you halfway, allowing you to put your own spin on the music by interpreting its complex sonic tapestry through the context of your own experience. The drums are an ever present factor in ​​Center Of Your World. They hiss as they crash, establishing a rhythmic foundation for other aspects of the track to dance around.

The marching pace of the rhythm gives the piece motion and energy without overwhelming the listener. The depth of the timbre of the drums elevates the vocals beautifully. The vocals have a gritty, confident tone. They growl and creak the lyrics out in a way that manages to get across all the themes of the track while not giving away too much and compromising the dramatic mystery of the song. Despite the dark tone of the track, there is an inherent positivity in its execution, both sonically and in the song’s narrative. As the artist explains, this track is about the “struggles of not quite breaking through” but executes this theme “with beauty and optimism.” Within the narrative of the track, this quiet positivity feels like a form of rebellion in itself. The high register, ethereal synths mirror that tone in the mix. A Million Times, the second of the two tracks, has a more energetic rhythm, powered by layers of pulsing synths. This is when some of the vintage influences come to the surface. Something about the vocal and production style of this song reminds me of David Bowie. The track feels like an energetic lift that leaves the audience on a high. The drums here are far faster paced especially in the final section.

It is brilliant to see so much sonic diversity within two tracks. FERNANDO'S EYES shine bright in this project in the dark and mysterious depths and the energetic heights as well.
