Eyes of the World

About Eyes of the World

"Eyes of the World" is a song by the Grateful Dead, released as the second single from the band's 1973 album Wake of the Flood. Since its release, it became a fan favorite and a staple in their live concerts. The Dead recorded a demo of "Eyes of the World" in early 1973, with the demo being more laid back than the final version. As lyricist Robert Hunter states: "'Eyes of the World' was quite mystical and, I think, a very right song for the late sixties and early seventies. Looking back on it now, it's kind of dated." .
