The Long Shadow of a Love Not Lost: Brandes Looks "Behind Your Eyes"

Some love stories do not end because they fail. They end because life intervenes. "Behind Your Eyes," the new single from UK-based singer-songwriter Brandes, traces the long shadow of exactly that kind of love, one marked by tenderness and desire but also by distance, both emotional and physical. Broadly folk rock in genre, it is a bittersweet story of how circumstance wedges itself between two people and of how the longing it leaves can never quite fade from memory.
