#08.26.14 #songoftheday A full version of my original track "Blue Ridge Sky"...enjoy! Lyrics: Stepping outside into the beating sun You pass the time with a lime and make another run To corner store to get some fire and ice Back in time to throw it in and blaze it river side Now the static's cracking in the new polished background With the emerging sound begins an untamed route So shed these fabled wild crimes And get it all together towards something right In the wild plains, on an easy day, its just a soft brigade Just let it wash away steady as it goes And the coming train draws with a distant sound As the rocks shake against the soft terrain on the tracks Scattered in the background Scattered so slowly 'neath the heat of the day Disguised by the early expansive sunrise So you just lay like a soft brigade The view, the scenes, the rivers and the streams The sounds you hear today So sit back slowly and rest your mind easy Nothing should be heavy and all should be easy And the sun shines on like a thousand ones today In the wild plains, on an easy day, its just a soft brigade Just let it wash away steady as it goes And the coming train draws with a distant sound As the rocks shake against the soft terrain on the tracks Scattered in the background This land seems fine so I believe And I do feel fine and all well relieved In the middle of nowhere and all is just fine I'm just sitting here watching the fire go by Everybody's sing and dancing in the light In another mountain tripping in the Blue Ridge sky In the wild plains on an easy day, its just a soft brigade

#SONGOFTHEDAY HARDWOOD HANDS - WHEN WE WERE YOUNG This is my first release from my solo project called Hardwood Hands. IT's taken me years to finish these recordings and then years before I had the courage to share them. Making these songs public is as brave as I will ever be. Hardwood Hands is a collection of songs you were never meant to hear.

08.19.14 Breaking Apart - Eric Frostic (Original) © 2014 #songoftheday

another song that should be shared! Recorded in 2013. This is a sneak preview of a solo album to be released in the summer of this year. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqFB-0lZ524 Check out the 'first draft' of this song on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhU0BhfnWko Lyrics: The lights have all gone down All over the town I'm lost in the dark With pieces of leaves The wind is rumbling The leaves are tumbling my song Slant of the wind chimes Sparkling dust rhyme Step on the gas Head out into nowhere No destination according to where I belong I stand on those bridges Surrounded by chain link I dry heave in alleys like One of the displaced Displaced from the plastice Machine of this town All the cold barking of Dogs in the midnight Urgency settles into my skin Don't know why all the church Bells chime in the fog Ohhhhhhhhhh (etc.) Love is a mystery That nearly has killed me It makes all the stars Demons in sky And what I would give To see her smile And sway Life of the short skirt Heat up in to her Gravity weighs down The whole room It's not her but I Knitting the course of our doom. I wake in the morning I tremble by evening I must be insane I'm hearing voices from heaven Calling me down here On this cold cold earth The lights have all gone down All over the town I'm lost in the dark With pieces of leaves The wind is rumbling The leaves are tumbling My song Ohhhhhh (etc.) - - - - - - -
