Let Your Eyes Get Used To The Dark

Album: Sing It For A Lifetime (2022)

Songfacts®:

  • Heidi Talbot recorded her eighth solo album, Sing It For A Lifetime, after the breakup of her 11-year-marriage to folk artist John McCusker. The songs, including the cut "Let Your Eyes Get Used To The Dark," reflect her new normal as she settles into life as a single mother.

    "Some of the greatest healing is done in darkness," she told Songfacts of the tune. "Boo Hewerdine wrote this song for the album – a piece of classic country reflection about letting your perspectives adjust to a new life and seeing things fall into place."
  • Boo Hewerdine is a singer-songwriter who formed the English rock band The Bible in the '80s and subsequently forged a career as a solo artist. He previously teamed with Talbot on his 2009 album, God Bless The Pretty Things.
