Review of For Your Eyes Only

For Your Eyes Only has to be my favorite piece of all time. The music is great background against what is being said, it boosts the irony and really brings the ending home. This doesn't seem like the type of piece that has a cookie cutter meaning whether that was intended or not. It is delivered in a way that says, "take it however you like". It is honest and messy yet very well done and smooth. It is unconventional but you don't have to play it a million times to understand it though you may want to play it a million times. "These politics are corrupt for your own good", is one of the many lines that make this piece worth listening to. Basically we need to stop lying to ourselves about all of the simple meaningless things that consume us on a daily basis and start rejecting the mess that society constantly feeds us so that we can make better choices of substance instead of only casting ballots for prom king and queen. This piece inspires people of all ages to recognize the power that we all have and how it is often being exhausted in the worng places. "For Your Eyes Only", is a great piece overall and is coveniently very short so it is definately woth your time. Kudos to Alyssa DiMare.
