ERICKOSCAR – Show Me The Way
ERICKOSCAR's 'Show Me The Way' is a tender, gospel-touched pop prayer from Arkansas, faith worn lightly and a hook that stays with you.
There's a gentleness to this one that catches you. 'Show Me The Way' opens on soft keys, a wonderful acoustic strum, and a vocal that sits close, almost confessional, before the arrangement opens out into something warmer. The lyric works as a prayer and a pep talk at once: you are beautiful, you have what it takes. And what better message is there, at the end of the day? The hook takes this one to the moon, a moment you find yourself humming hours later. It's lovely gospel-pop writing, heartfelt and uplifting.
ERICKOSCAR is back with us again after 'Till We Turn Grey' last week. He's based in Cave Springs, Arkansas, playing acoustic guitar with his worship band for over 35 years and writing more than 1,200 songs. I thought I wrote a lot of songs, but this guy is genuinely impressive. Recently he's taught himself production software, finally bringing tracks to life that only existed on paper. We're glad to have him back, and with choruses like this, he'll be around a good while.
