popdude Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Just read in the MARATHON MAN bio that Eric had written some (unreleased) tunes with a songwriter named Seth Swirsky. For those of you who enjoy the lighter side of pop/power pop, I would highly recommend Swirsky's newly-released cd, titled INSTANT PLEASURE. It's one of my faves of the year and includes some very pretty melodies and fab tunes. I believe there are sound samples at www.notlame.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 John B. good call. Seth is a good songwriter with a real ear for Pop Music. I'd love to know how he hooked up with Eric and what their collborations sound like.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Marvin,Seth and Eric wrote two tunes together. "After You" is a post-breakup piano ballad (I love it, so I'm sure you'd hate it :-)"The High Cost Of Loving" is (for lack of a better decription) a country song. Lots of people who have heard this one like it a lot. Me, I'm a bit on the fence on this one.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Bernie I know "The High Cost..", and I actually don't mind it even though it sounds a bit strange in Eric's hands. I don't know "After You." You're pegging me as someone who doesn't like Eric's ballads, so just to prove to you that I am someone with feelings, I'm going to cry on your shoulder tomorrow Eric is a fabulous ballad writer, it's just that we don't all agree on which ballads ones are his best.

aggiesjc Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I really like "High Cost of Loving," though the mp3 I've heard is a bit rough. I'd love to hear a clearer version of it. This song is high on my list to make it onto any CD of unreleased EC material (hint, hint). Bernie, any chance of hearing "After You" as an mp3 someday?Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Oh, Marvin, Bernie isn't picking on you. Don't be over-sensitive. He didn't even pick on you when you said you hated WD! I've never heard "After You," and I haven't heard anyone except Bernie mention it before, so it would be a great "gem" to hear on a future mp3 (hint hint)!I really like "The High Cost..." It's so cute, and while it's not a deep emotional angst-driven ballad, it's the cutest country song. It always makes me smile, because I know a guy who would think it describes me, as far as he was concerned! --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
