Steven John Simon Releases 'Eyes Closed'

The second single, "Eyes Closed," by veteran Marine and Louisiana singer and songwriter, Steven John Simon was announced exclusively on The Country Note on Friday March 15. The evocative single is available on all digital music platforms here.

"Eyes Closed" describes the attraction between a man and a woman whose paths cross at a bar. Not only is the attraction so strong that it pulls them towards each other, but there is also a deeper, immaterial connection that Simon could see with his eyes closed," said Janeen Megloranzo, The Country Note. "The lyrics allow the listener to visualize the connection and desire between the two as Simon's heartfelt and charming vocals bring those emotions to life."

...'cause her lips landed there on mine and
I could see every move I made
When I ran my fingers up and down her skin
I knew this wasn't our last first kiss
I saw it ... yeah I saw it with my eyes closed
With my eyes closed...

"There are certain songs that draw you in with their melody and keep you there with their lyrics. "Eye's Closed" is definitely one of those songs. I wanted to put out a love song that people could connect with and I'm so excited and proud to put this song out there for the fans," said Steven John Simon. "I hope that they enjoy listening to it as much as I've enjoyed bringing it to life."
