"We Close Our Eyes" is a song by the English pop duo Go West, composed by both members Peter Cox and Richard Drummie. Recognisable by its synthesiser hook, it was released as the lead single from the duo's self titled debut studio album, in February 1985. The song charted worldwide, reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart, number 41 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and the top 10 in Australia, Italy, and New Zealand.

Critical reception

In April 1985, the single was discussed by Molly Meldrum and Queen's lead vocalist Freddie Mercury on the Australian music show Countdown. Mercury was impressed and predicted the band would be "very, very big".[1]
