BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“We Close Our Eyes” is a song by British pop band Go West, composed by both members Peter Cox and Richard Drummie. Recognizable by its synthesizer hook, it was the first single from their début album Go West.
The single was promoted by a music video directed by Godley & Creme.[1] This video included Cox, Drummie and the guitarist Alan Murphy, performing the song in front of dancing wooden artist mannequins.
“We Close Our Eyes” spent fourteen weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 5 in April 1985. In the United States, the single reached 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
