oh you love me,
how you love me:
i've heard it said, i've seen it written, i've heard it sung,
but i could never believe
that you loved me,
not if i heard it from your own tongue.
oh you love me,
yes you love me
and yes i know you've been trying to let me know
but i've been wandering about
beneath the shadow of a doubt
and i'm scared it'll never let me go.
i felt the heat of your
fiery furnaces
on my face since before i could speak.
heard your voice in the storm,
felt so hopeless and forlorn
and in the stillness always drifted off to sleep.
do you love me?
do you love me?
i'm sorry to have to ask you again.
when i see your face,
when i feel your embrace,
i may ask you even then.
i may ask you even then.
(may i ask you even then?)

I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help. Harrison Lemke
I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that. Harrison Lemke
Beautifully played and full of moving vocal performances, the Bay Area singer/songwriter's latest is a stellar work of art. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 3, 2023
