"You Open My Eyes" is a single by iconic^[1]^[2] Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus which reached #43 on the ARIA Singles Charts.^[3] It was released on BMG in February, 1994; and was written by Brad Shepherd.^[4] This was the first Hoodoo Gurus single that was not written or co-written by Dave Faulkner. The B side, "Something I Forgot to Say", was written by Faulkner.^[4] The second B side was a cover of The Victims' "Television Addict" written by James Baker and Faulkner (both were members of The Victims and of Hoodoo Gurus).^[4] The music video for "You Open My Eyes" was directed by former Guru, Kimble Rendall and was their most expensive to date.^[5]

"... found Brad taking over lead vocal duties on a Hoodoo Gurus single. Though Brad had sung on every album since Mars... this was the first time that people started crying out, 'It's a hit!' (or were they saying, 'that's our Hitler!'?) The video was pretty spectacular and was the most expensive of our career even though we were charged a fraction of its true cost - thanks, Kimble!" - Dave Faulkner.^[6]

Etymology

In Arabic, "husan" means goodness and beauty. The name may also be derived from Hassan monastery, which later became Husan. In 1881, Edward Henry Palmer wrote that it came from "Hovering round".

Husan, like the rest of Palestine, was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517, and in the census of 1596, the village appeared in the tax registers as being in the Nahiya of Quds of the Liwa of Quds. It had an all Muslim population of 12 households and paid taxes on wheat, barley, summer crops, vineyards and fruit trees, vegetable and fruit garden, orchard, occasional revenues, goats and/or beehives.

You Open My Eyes

by Hoodoo Gurus

You Open My Eyes

by: Hoodoo Gurus

Seagulls fly an opal sky
Likewise, fish are swimming in the ocean
Sunlight streaming thru the clouds
Not a care in this world, not a notion
I don't know if I should laugh or cry
You make me feel like I will never die
You can open my eyes with your sweet loving.
Flowers! gently open wide
Swallow me up whole inside a daydream
Everything is nothing here
And nothing really ever is as it seems
I appreciate the majesty
Colliding in this lovely catastrophe
You can open my eyes with your sweet loning.
...And it's a long, long way
It's a sunshine day
It's a long, long way from where I began...
The moon, he's smiling down on us
Stars, they dance across the heavens above
I feel like a child again
My arms wrapped around the girl that I love
Ooh, angel, you blow my soul
All the wonders of this world now unfold...
