“Eyes To The Wind” by The War On Drugs

"Eyes to the Wind" was one of five songs sent to radio from Lost in the Dream, the third War on Drugs album, which Secretly Canadian released in March 2014, and it's Adam Granduciel's show from top to bottom. He wrote, produced and sings it, and plays acoustic and electric guitar, harmonica, Rhodes and analog synth.

The rest of the crew fills out the widescreen: Robbie Bennett on grand and upright piano and a bank of synths, Dave Hartley on bass, Charlie Hall on drums, pedal steel from Ricky Ray Jackson and lap steel from Mike Sobel, and saxophones from Jon Natchez and Joseph Shabason, with Jeff Zeigler mixing. The album took two years and rewrite after rewrite, its lyrics drawn from the loneliness and depression that hit Granduciel once he came off the road, its sound from Americana and '80s rock.
