A simple slammer with a little dance floor paranoia tossed in for good measure. THIS SONG IS FEATURED IN THE MOVIE "SERIAL INTENTIONS." "Sometimes it's better to ignore than feel. A broken promise takes too long to heal."

Eclectic. We took our love for alternative music, our Producer's success in Miami Dance sound, poetry-laced lyrics -- put them all into a blender and hit frappe
Thanks for flying with us! Here's the scoop. Willie Cleer and Rick Munarriz formed the band fresh out of high school. They were signed to Columbia Records just two years later, with Haydee Rivera singing lead. "Voices in Your Head" was released in July, 1989. It peaked at #14 on the Billboard Dance Chart. In March of 1990 "C'mon & Dance With Me" topped off at #35. Later that year "It's Another Holiday" began the first of its seasonal airplays (now past 75,000 according to BMI).Unfortunately, the successful singles and the infectuous holiday hit was no match for the 1990-1991 recession. Columbia dropped many artists, Paris By Air included. Haydee moved to New York, Terri Gil took over. "I'm Serious" was released independently in 1992 and "Mr. President" got favorable rave in Billboard. "Could open new doors," it went. Yep, Hurricane Andrew blew open more than a few doors, destroying the band's studio. Rebuilt and ready, the group released "All Around the Sound" in 1996 which was picked up and distributed in Europe by YYZ Records. 2002 marks a revival, with the band back in the studio to see if recessions or hurricanes can stop them this time!

Story behind the song
What comes first, the music or the words? It's not an exact science with us. We usually have some kind of vocal melody in mind, other times we have some music bits and the words come immediately once we're laying down the tracks. This time it was different. We fleshed out all the music but couldn't come up the right words. So Rick and Teri got together with the tape a few days later and, somehow, it all came far easier.
Lyrics
You try to run but you just cannot hide There's no escape when it's this deep inside Why can't you close your eyes and make it go away There's more to this than I will let you know And more emotions than you'll ever show There's no tomorrow if you can't get through today That's why I'm telling you Don't Close Your Eyes in the Dark You keep forgetting that dreaming will tear you apart That's why I'm telling you Don't Close Your Eyes in the Dark Sometimes it's better to ignore than feel A broken promise takes too long to heal That's why it's hard to tell what's wrong from what is right So in the end you're not too sure How many sleepless nights you can endure There'll be no morning if you can't get through tonight That's why I'm telling you Don't Close Your Eyes in the Dark You keep forgetting that dreaming will tear you apart Make it go Away And in the end you find you're not too sure How many sleepless nights you can endure There'll be no morning if you can't get through tonight That's why I'm telling you Don't Close Your Eyes in the Dark
