Eric Underwood
"Fans like to claim that they have identified the real influence behind Eric Underwood's music. At any given moment Underwood's harmonically progressive rhythm guitar and scratchy smooth vocals might suggest Kurt Cobain, or maybe U2, or then again perhaps the Beatles. Underwood owns up to his debt to these performers and others, but no one song of Underwood's sounds precisely like any of these luminaries. What Underwood does share with them is that ineffable fusion of poetry, melody, and harmony that create a moving song. The result is distinctly his own, vulnerable and mesmerizing, the kind of song that makes an audience silent as a church. People are drawn into Underwood's music; they shut their eyes, they sway in their seats, and when it's all over, they breathe again."

Fool's Gold
by Eric Underwood
Looks like I’m getting nowhere shaking this tree
Cause she’s only fallen asleep at the wheel again
I followed her down to a cross on the map with my lantern and dagger and didn’t
find any gold there
Too much weight for one chest to bear
So I’m breaking away
Breaking these waves
And now I’m higher than your fool’s gold
and I’m higher than your fool’s gold
and I’m never gonna fall
I’m never gonna fall
I’m never gonna dig this deep again
Never looking back as I boarded the plane
from this terminal dream, revolving, revolving
Tossing and turning and I still can’t forget
the amber within your eyes reflecting the light inside of me
Too much weight for one heart to bear
And it’s breaking away
Breaking these waves
And now I’m higher than your fool’s gold
and I’m higher than your fool’s gold
and I’m never gonna fall
I’m never gonna fall
I’m never gonna fall in love
Baby, I dreamt of our baby
and they called him a king
and the angels were laughin’
Laughin’ at me . . .
wake up you fool
And now I’m higher than your fool’s gold
And I’m higher than your fool’s gold
And I’m higher than your fool’s gold
And I’m never gonna fall
I’m Never gonna fall
I’m never gonna dig this deep again
