Singer-songwriter JOURNEYGLO’s single, ‘Bright in My Eyes,’ is a graceful piano ballad that captures the bittersweet feeling of a misplaced belief.

The song, a highlight from her debut album ‘Limp By Your Side,’ was born from a simple yet profound realization: the moon doesn’t rise and set on the opposite side of the sky from the sun.

This elegant misunderstanding is more than a trivial detail—it’s a metaphor for those moments when what we thought was true turns out to be something else entirely. JOURNEYGLO, who transitioned from faith-based to a more secular indie sound, explores this feeling of being in transition. The song’s vulnerable lyrics, like, “Sometimes I just want to stare / At the wrong side of the sky,” don’t force a clean resolution. Instead, they find a kind of peace in the space where we don’t have all the answers.

“I wrote ‘Bright In My Eyes’ after learning that the moon doesn’t actually rise opposite the sun, a cosmic misunderstanding. There was something quietly heartbreaking about that, like realizing you’ve been looking for someone in all the wrong places. That image, of staring at the wrong side of the sky, became a metaphor for unrequited love. This song holds that ache, but also the wonder in believing anyway.”

‘Bright in My Eyes’ highlights JOURNEYGLO’s talent for creating cinematic soundscapes with minimal instrumentation. The gentle piano, emotional vocals, and moody atmospherics feel personal and expansive at the same time. It’s a sincere, poetic reflection on finding beauty in the midst of uncertainty.
