Opening with a version of the Randy Cantor and Michael Caruso co-written number 'None Of It Matters' (which had originally appeared on BLACK EYED SUSAN's 'Electric Rattlebone' album), 'Open Skyz' also includes the GLEN BURTNICK / David Prater written 'Every Day Of My Life' and a cover of SUPERTRAMP's 'Give A Little Bit'. In general the record, pursued a lighter, AOR direction than the VALENTINE album, Hugo's very Steve Perry influenced being far more in evidence harnessed to the production from Richie Zito.
OPEN SKYZ toured with MR. BIG until they were inexplicably dropped by the label and, extremely frustrated, the group swiftly fell apart, vocalist HUGO going on to pursue a solo career, debuting with a self-titled debut album on the Now And Then label in early 1997. Both Adam Holland and Gerard Zappa figured on subsequent HUGO outings.
Hugo - vocals
Adam Holland - guitar
Craig Pullman - keyboards
Gerard Zappa - bass

Open Skyz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ m sure we’ d find.
Something deep inside,
Look ahead you’ ll see,
It’ s all in time.
I can feel your love,
Do you feel me?
All I’ m dreaming of I believe in.
[Chorus:]
Can you take me there forever?
I’ ve been waiting for the longest time.
Something we could share together,
Oh baby can you take me there?
If we still believe in the hands of fate,
Fate and destiny.
Very soon we’ ll see oh the power of love,
Is meant to be.
I can feel your love,
Do you feel me?
We can rise above, oh believe it.
(Repeat chorus & fade)
Found love along the way,
Now I know we’ ll be there someday.
I can feel your love,
Do you feel me?
We can rise above, oh believe it.
(Repeat chorus)
