Could make for a nice little “hidden track” at the end of an album.

@theresa-donofrio: Yea! I always like short little songs that leave you thinking a bit.

Very short, and so meaningful song that leave me thinking a lot. Wonderful work, Eric!

Wonderful work on this little short song!

So bitterly brief but powerful Eric. Your voice really resonates on this and I must say that the brevity can emphasize the tragedy and contemplation more powerfully than a longer statement. It is concise as the lone month so long ago. Well done.

Very beautiful voice and impressive lyrics✨✨✨💎💎💎✨✨✨

Powerful song man! Great vocals! An unexpected finding, and difficult to see, but this song was meant to be.

A song so beautiful and complete, yet unfinished, but will be one day. Such is our hope.  Very moved by this and the track note.

Probably the shortest song I've ever written!!
We have some very old cemeteries here in Killingworth CT that I like to visit every now and then. On one visit I found a very crude stone that was mostly buried in dirt and leaves. The slab was marked “E. Buell 1747 age 1 month ” or something similar. It was very crudely made from a piece of slate and the lettering was scratched in with a knife or a nail. I can only imagine the circumstances that it was made in, someone with little skill or resources just making what they could to mark the burial site of someone who never had a chance at life…

Faint breeze willow trees
Careful not to shatter me
Here below the  sod and leaves
Scratches on a stone
One day ill live again
And sing the song that might have been
Rest in silence until then
Just scratches on a stone…

Scratches on a Stone

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!
