In early 2013 Adrian Culhane joined the band as a composer and drummer, as they began to perform their compositions live. Adrian later took the role of guitarist, leaving space for Ted Buxton to join as a drummer in early 2015.

Mind’s Eye Lyrics

Oooh ooh ooh
I feel your desire.
Oooh ooh ooh
and I can’t hide it.

Have you felt the lift of the light?
Felt the shadow and drifted at night?
Have you felt the release of your physical bounds
and held the hand of someone you love?
Do you know how it feels?
Do you know what it feels to feel like love?
Do you know what it means to love?

Oooh ooh ooh
I feel your desire.
Oooh ooh ooh
I can’t hide it.
I feel, I feel, it’s what I feel now

You won’t be fulfilled being a seeking man,
so find your desire, well if you can.
Will you know what it feels to feel like then? Oh!
Do you know how it feels?
Will you know what it feels like then?
Will you know what it means to love?

Oooh ooh ooh
I feel your desire.
Oooh ooh ooh
I can’t hide it.
I feel, I feel it’s what I feel now.

Have you felt something truer than true?
Well my mind’s eye is keeping me to you.

Oooh ooh ooh
I feel your desire.
Oooh ooh ooh
I can’t hide it.
I feel, I feel it’s what I feel now
