about
There's nothing wrong with listening to cheesy, overproduced, saccharin, 70s and early 80s soft rock trash... as long is no one knows about it - especially if you fancy yourself an alt-rock d-bag like myself.
This song is a begrudging tribute to that oft-maligned genre known as yacht Rock, which to its credit, had some very talented people involved and produced some classics that even the true musical elitist might admit aren't half bad.
With that in mind I must say that this is the most complex song I have ever written and produced. That must mean something, right?

lyrics
No one knows
What’s on your radio
Sirius is private thing
She looks around
Everyone’s eyes are down
But can they hear the sound
Of that song she sings?
Back in his arms is where she wants to stay
Bundled up in his charms in their own special kind of way
‘Cause a little “Afternoon Delight” will brighten anyone’s day
No one has to know those cheesy love songs that you always play
Across town we can see
A man driving in his SUV
Are custom made playlists still private thing?
He sings in an off-key drawl
But his lips never move all
Still he gives the song his all:
“You’re The Biggest Part of Me”
Back in her arms is where he wants to stay
Bundled up in her charms in their own special kind of way
“Sail On” down while you “Reminisce” the day away
No one has to know those corny love songs that you always play
Everyday you feel the same
Hiding all of your secret shame
Now it’s finally safe to “Ride Like the Wind” and just “Steal Away”
‘Cause who cares “What a Fool Believes?”
My soft-rock vinyl looks like black melted cheese
“Sweet Freedom”’s like cool ocean breeze blowing midday
‘Cause back in your arms is where I want to stay
Bundled up in your charms in our own special kind of way
Cause I’m weaving that dream with you every time I press play
No one has to know those lamo love songs that we always play
‘Cause “I’d really like to see you tonight” on my yacht in the bay
No one has to know those awesome love songs that we always play
What’s on your radio
Sirius is private thing
She looks around
Everyone’s eyes are down
But can they hear the sound
Of that song she sings?
Back in his arms is where she wants to stay
Bundled up in his charms in their own special kind of way
‘Cause a little “Afternoon Delight” will brighten anyone’s day
No one has to know those cheesy love songs that you always play
Across town we can see
A man driving in his SUV
Are custom made playlists still private thing?
He sings in an off-key drawl
But his lips never move all
Still he gives the song his all:
“You’re The Biggest Part of Me”
Back in her arms is where he wants to stay
Bundled up in her charms in their own special kind of way
“Sail On” down while you “Reminisce” the day away
No one has to know those corny love songs that you always play
Everyday you feel the same
Hiding all of your secret shame
Now it’s finally safe to “Ride Like the Wind” and just “Steal Away”
‘Cause who cares “What a Fool Believes?”
My soft-rock vinyl looks like black melted cheese
“Sweet Freedom”’s like cool ocean breeze blowing midday
‘Cause back in your arms is where I want to stay
Bundled up in your charms in our own special kind of way
Cause I’m weaving that dream with you every time I press play
No one has to know those lamo love songs that we always play
‘Cause “I’d really like to see you tonight” on my yacht in the bay
No one has to know those awesome love songs that we always play

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.
