My song Cyclops, from the album Everyone On Board, is a Semi-Finalist in the 2024 International Songwriting Competition! Only 15% of entrants make it this far. So, fingers… or hooks crossed that I sail on to the next round.
Cyclops is about the mythical one-eyed creature. It highlights the number one in various languages, and references Greek Mythology. It was inspired by someone asking me if my song One Eye You was about a Cyclops. It isn’t. One Eye On You is about a mom playing hide-n-seek with her kids. Anywho, focus your monocle on the Cyclops lyrics below.

CHORUS: He has one eye, he is a Cyclops and a Cyclops has one eye
He has one eye, he is a Cyclops, it’s uno, eins, une – oh my
He is a monster from the Mediterranean
Lives in a cave like a Subterranean
When he gets mad, there’s just no taming ‘im
CHORUS
He is a creature from Greek Mythology
Sets his clock to a different chronology
When he wants food – I hope he won’t follow me
*It’s bir, hana, ahad, satu, yi, jeden, yksi, ek, solo
BRIDGE: If he wore a monocle, he would be respectable
But that would make us all…more detectable … and inspectable… HE CAN SEE US!
CHORUS
uno, eins, une – oh my, uno, eins, une, oh my
*One in Kazakh/Turkce, Korean, Hebrew, Indonesian, Chinese, Czech, Finnish, Hindi, Greek
