Life and career edit

Along with Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith of Tears for Fears fame, Byrne and his future music partner in Naked Eyes, Rob Fisher, were members of a short-lived British group called Neon.

Naked Eyes enjoyed chart success with their 1983 cover version of "Always Something There to Remind Me". Naked Eyes released additional hits that they wrote themselves, including "Promises, Promises" (1983).

Byrne is also known for an electronica recording of The Rolling Stones' track "Paint It Black". He wrote "I Am the Cute One"[2] for the Olsen twins' video, "Our First Video".

Byrne released a solo album entitled The Real Illusion in 2001; the album featured some of the last tracks he had written with Fisher for a proposed third Naked Eyes album. In 2005, Byrne reformed Naked Eyes and released Fumbling with the Covers (2007). The album consisted of acoustic hits, including reworkings of the band's "Promises, Promises", "When the Lights Go Out" and "Always Something There to Remind Me". Naked Eyes also performed on a US Summer Tour along with Belinda Carlisle, ABC and The Human League.
