about
My favorite Taylor Swift song - and one of my favorite songs of all time - is "Right Where You Left Me" off her folky album called "Evermore". This is a response to that very sad song about a heart-wrenching breakup. Please find that song and listen to it!
I speak to Taylor (or more likely the character she is portraying) like a father figure, with a little toughness and a lot of support and love. This sums up everything I try to convey in my music which is that tough times can be transcended and that healing happens if you just hang on.

lyrics
Evermore is not forever
It’s a word that cannot be
Nothing is forever
Not you, your grief, or me
It’s the end of a rainbow
Dividing by zero
The way past infinity
Evermore is not forever
Like you, your grief, or me
You may think he knows
But the restaurant is closed
It's now an empty room
Free from all your gloom
The haunted corners’ gone
Yes I heard your song
You’ve known it all along
When you keep on moving you stop moving on
When will you break through?
Are you overdue?
Grief is like a glue
Stuck in time where he left you
You said he met someone?
Then take your heart and run
This can’t be too much fun
No…
Evermore is not forever
It’s a lie you can’t conceive
It's not what you so deeply feel
It's how long it claims to be
The page can turn again
But you blocked it with your pen
It’s such a nasty thing
That anger you so earnestly sing
Suffer for your song?
A hipster all along
Damn you’re so headstrong
He made his choice but he got it wrong
The help you need is here
I say it loud and clear
It’s kind of hard to hear
Turn your back and don’t shed a tear
A broken heart will mend
A lost soul will transcend
What it has been through
You mourn not for what you lost
But for the life he’s taken away
For every risk there’s always a cost
And if we lose a price to pay
But someday, someday
I promise you that someday
Someday, someday soon
You’ll be OK
It’s a word that cannot be
Nothing is forever
Not you, your grief, or me
It’s the end of a rainbow
Dividing by zero
The way past infinity
Evermore is not forever
Like you, your grief, or me
You may think he knows
But the restaurant is closed
It's now an empty room
Free from all your gloom
The haunted corners’ gone
Yes I heard your song
You’ve known it all along
When you keep on moving you stop moving on
When will you break through?
Are you overdue?
Grief is like a glue
Stuck in time where he left you
You said he met someone?
Then take your heart and run
This can’t be too much fun
No…
Evermore is not forever
It’s a lie you can’t conceive
It's not what you so deeply feel
It's how long it claims to be
The page can turn again
But you blocked it with your pen
It’s such a nasty thing
That anger you so earnestly sing
Suffer for your song?
A hipster all along
Damn you’re so headstrong
He made his choice but he got it wrong
The help you need is here
I say it loud and clear
It’s kind of hard to hear
Turn your back and don’t shed a tear
A broken heart will mend
A lost soul will transcend
What it has been through
You mourn not for what you lost
But for the life he’s taken away
For every risk there’s always a cost
And if we lose a price to pay
But someday, someday
I promise you that someday
Someday, someday soon
You’ll be OK

about
Eric Dwight Boston, Massachusetts
Grief brought me back to music..
Six years after the death of my brother I started writing
again. This album came out of that.
I think I tapped into something, but I guess it's not up to me to decide that claim. I hope people connect with both the raw grief I express and the recovery from that grief.
