ERICKOSCAR – Till We Turn Grey
ERICKOSCAR's 'Till We Turn Grey' is a tender, heartfelt country-pop love letter, sincere and warmly affecting from start to finish.
'Till We Turn Grey' does exactly what a good love song should: it makes the personal feel universal. ERICKOSCAR builds the track around acoustic guitar and a warm, guitar backed vocal, letting the lyrics do the heavy lifting. The arrangement stays open, commercial pop touches sitting comfortably alongside country instrumentation, and the melody lands where it needs to. There's real affection in the writing, fifteen years of marriage distilled into something direct and unguarded. Lovely country-pop balladry, sincere and affecting.
ERICKOSCAR is based in Cave Springs and has been playing acoustic guitar with his church worship band for over thirty-five years. He's obviously hit a run of form, and has recently taught himself music production software to start bringing them to life as full recordings. His father was a singer who filled his childhood with love songs and ballads, and that influence is all over this track. A really sweet one this track, and definitely worth your ears this week.
