Despite their current city of residence, Low Vs. Diamond is not only a Los Angeles band. They are, in every sense of the word, an American band - with all of the members hailing from backgrounds as diverse as their hometown cities themselves… Seattle (vocalist/guitarist-Lucas Field), Chicago (drummer-Howie Diamond), San Francisco (keyboardist-Tad Moore) and the “Jersey Guys” (lead guitarist-Anthony Polcino and bassist-Jon Pancoast). This melting pot of musicians was established a few short years ago when they formed Low Vs. Diamond.
While never concealing their nods to current bands ranging from U2, in scope, to the Strokes, in grit… Low Vs. Diamond are clearly possessed by those that passed before them. It’s these roots that define the essence of what separates this band from the rest. Low Vs. Diamond achieve something uniquely intimate with their attention paid to songwriting. Real songwriting. You hear the complex song styling of Serge Gainsbourg, Burt Bacharach, and even Broadway. Real songs with real stories. Lyrically, Lucas weaves in themes dealing with family (such as “Actions Are Actions” and “Don’t Forget Sister”,) and stories about saying farewell to love (“Heart Attack” and “Wasted).” Each track on their self titled debut album is as lucid and cinematic in scope.
Kevin Bronson from the Los Angeles Times explains it best writing that the band “stands precipitously between overwrought melancholy and chimey hopefulness, avoiding both excesses… the band’s music plays to an optimism that stops short of outright glee.”
Low Vs. Diamond’s self-titled debut album will be available this summer.
EYES
Low vs. Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black clouds in the sky dancing before my eyes
I'm losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
Thunder bring the rain, penetrate my brain
losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
The eye..the eye..the eye
Another glass of wine to heat blood mine
And as I look inside the necklace called 'The Eye'
I'm going back in time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
The eye... the eye... the eye
The lyrics to Low vs. Diamond's song "Eyes" seem to describe a cold and eerie night. The line "It's so cold inside on this summer night" is a contradiction in that summer nights are usually warm, yet the singer is feeling cold. The black clouds in the sky dancing before the singer's eyes further add to the ominous atmosphere. The singer seems to be losing track of time, perhaps due to the surreal and haunting nature of the experience they are having.
The repeated phrase "It's the eye of the witch" adds to the song's mysterious and supernatural themes. The thunder bringing rain and penetrating the singer's brain suggests a kind of transformative experience. The special night that has come is again, shrouded in mystery, as the listener is left wondering what kind of night it is, and what the significance of it could be. The repeated line "losing track of time" further suggests that this is an otherworldly experience that is difficult for the singer to fully comprehend.
As the singer has another glass of wine, they seem to look inside a necklace called "The Eye" and are transported back in time. This suggests that the singer has had this experience before and the necklace is a kind of portal to past experiences. The repeated line "It's the eye of the witch" gains even more significance here as it suggests that the necklace is somehow connected to witchcraft or the supernatural.
Overall, the lyrics to Low vs. Diamond's "Eyes" create a haunting and surreal atmosphere. The use of contradictions and supernatural imagery adds to the mysterious and unsettling nature of the song. The repeated lines further emphasize the theme of the supernatural and suggest a kind of transformative experience for the singer.

i have come back to this same exact video for about a decade now. i have so many memories with this song, and i remember coming home after rough days at school and going straight to this video. i’m just about to start my senior year of college and i’ve got a career lined up for me after i graduate. i never thought i’d make it this far. this song that brought me so much peace still gives me peace, but it feels bittersweet as well.
thanks so much for uploading this.

Big, big fan of this song (and the new album in general). This was a new band for me, but there's a good review up on Quarters for the Jukebox.
