Mark Holman of Holworks releases
new single - "These Eyes For You" - ASCAP 2008 Title Code:
504726238 - Los Angeles, CA –Mark Holman of Holworks has
announced the release of the single “These Eyes for You” from
the new album “Carolina Commons.”
The musical focus is on harmony, melody and strong lyrics.
Holworks’ goal is to convey real emotion in a genuine way.
“These Eyes for You” lets listeners in on the kind of melodic,
emotive songwriting Mark Holman crafts. The song explores the
first meeting of two people, a brief segment of time in which
the future will be determined – will these two go forward
together, or separate? Will companionship or aloneness follow
this encounter?
These Eyes For You is about the direct contact between two
people and the endless possibilities that unfold from that
fleeting first connection. The song finds its origins in a
poem composed by Mark Holman of Holworks in 1991. It’s a
personal creation inspired by “the only woman who ever made my
head turn until it hurt.” The song was a catharsis and closure
for Holman.
The poem first manifested as song while Holman played in the
band Swift Water. It now finds its new form as the lead single
from “Carolina Commons.” Says Holman, “ ‘These Eyes for You’
is a poignant reminder of just how powerful chemistry can be
in just one instant. Love at first sight?” He also explains
that the song is an attempt to bring music back to roots in
intelligent songwriting. “The song is a tribute to how music
was and shall be made again as skill, composition and
arrangement enables a band to develop songs that are
timeless.”
Holworks, brain child of Holman, began making music in October
of 2007. His goal is grounded in the idea of making the
listener forget everything else but the music through the
power of rock, blues and his "Harbor Horn" voice – total
listener absorption is the concept.
“It is more than enough for me just to have you listen as it
will be a unique experience,” Holman says. “I will catch you
off guard.”
The songwriting process for the new album is complete;
recording will be completed this year with the CD’s release to
follow soon after. Holworks founded Holworks Publishing
Company and has listed its music with ASCAP. Holworks finished
in the number 26 slot in week 8 of the Spin Hot Pursuit
Contest and hit number eight in the Spin Rock Pile Contest.
Mark Holman is currently scouting for a record company and has
licensed his music for radio, TV, Internet and other media.
“My songs will make you think, feel, sing or just sound good.”
