THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS

One, two, three, now are you gonna come with me
There's three little birds, and they can even clearly see
That you and me we're definitely meant to be or not to be
(now, what was the question?)

Un, dos, tres, I see you’re in my favourite dress
I’m enamorado with the way you wear that little number baby
You’re driving me crazy
Said I’ve been losing my mind on you
And I’m wasting my time on you
And even when you’re gone I can’t do nothing else but think of you

And I know this is the way it sometimes tends to go
These are the good old days I’m told
But what I’d do to spend a single night alone with you
Oh baby what I’d do

A, B, C, I see you’ve turned to notice me
Now I don’t know what to do
The moment when it’s me and you has finally come
I can’t express my feelings, look what I’ve become

Cos you’ve places to be and you've people to see,
I don’t know why I ever thought that you’d consider me but baby
You’re driving me crazy
Said I’ve been losing my mind on you
And I’m wasting my time on you
And even when you’re gone I can’t do nothing else but think of you

And I know, this is the way it sometimes tends to go
These are the good old days I’m told
But what I’d do , to spend a single night alone with you
Oh baby what I’d do
Oh baby what I'd do

ALONE WE STAND

Two weeks from now
On a train, god knows where it’s bound
I’ve got a feeling you’ll be leaving this town

From our first hello
To the way we let ourselves go
Baby, who would have known?

Alone we stand and together we fall apart
You say we’re better alone
But the night lingers on
Do you think you’ll be gone for long?

I wear my heart on my sleeve
And I’m begging you not to leave
‘cos I’ve got a feeling that you’re grieving just like me

I just called you at home
I could tell that you’d asked to be left alone
Oh just come to the phone

Alone we stand and together we fall apart
You say we’re better alone
But the night lingers on
Do you think you’ll be gone for long?

"Beautifully crafted song-writing and enveloping arrangements make Eric McGrath's debut album totally enchanting." (JULIE FEENEY)

“Little Ripples”, the debut album from Irish/Spanish newcomer Eric McGrath, is a real treat for the summer. His self penned, arranged, performed and produced album, with its instantly catchy harmonies, unusual chord progressions, and breezy arrangements (captured at various farmhouses, mountain lodges, and pro recording studios all over Ireland) promises to ease the stress monitor as it engulfs one with his uniquely appealing sound from beginning to end.

Born in Dublin to a Spanish mother and Irish father, Eric was raised on a healthy mix of music from around the globe.  With a strong love of Latin grooves, 1920's North American song craftsmanship, and 1960's Surf harmonies, it wasn't long before Eric began to blend his diverse inspirations through his own unique compositions.  After completing an honours degree in Chemistry at UCD, Eric finally succumbed to his true calling by obtaining a Masters in Music and Media from Trinity College Dublin.

He recently supported Bic Runga at The Cork Opera House and The Olympia Theatre, Dublin, as well as supporting a host of Irish musical luminaries, including Cathy Davey, Dave Geraghty, Vyvienne Long and Tiger Cooke. In July 2011 Eric was invited as guest performer to the American Ireland Fund’s Summer Event in New York where he performed every night from 17 -24 July, including the main event on the 21st.

A wider audience awaits……
