UK Indie pop-rock artist Greenbak has released his latest single, “Do You Lower Your Eyes”, an infectious yet thought-provoking track that delves into the raw realities of human connection and empathy. Known for his evocative songwriting and dynamic sound, Greenbak blends upbeat energy with deep introspection, crafting a song that is as catchy as it is meaningful.
“Do You Lower Your Eyes” was inspired by a poignant moment in London, where Greenbak encountered a homeless individual waiting quietly, unnoticed, for someone to acknowledge them. The lyric “Do you lower your eyes?” was born in that instant, encapsulating the internal conflict many feel when faced with those less privileged.
“The track speaks the truth about the natural human spirit—feeling pity for someone, yet being stopped by something from doing anything,” Greenbak explains. “I love how the track builds, holds off, and releases again with a catchy chorus hook that makes you sing, and then wonder why you’re actually singing it because of the subject matter.”
Unusually for Greenbak, the song’s lyrics came first, followed by the music, which evolved from a simple piano tune into a punchy, anthemic piece of indie pop-rock brilliance. Influenced by legends like The Beatles, Oasis, and Muse, Greenbak has always had a knack for crafting songs that are both musically captivating and lyrically profound. His ability to seamlessly blend classic influences with contemporary indie vibes makes his work stand out in today’s music landscape.
“Do You Lower Your Eyes” challenges listeners to confront their own instincts and biases while delivering a melody that’s impossible to forget. Its punchy beats and driving energy are sure to resonate with fans of indie pop and rock, leaving them humming along while contemplating its deeper message.
