'Love to Love' was released on 8 December 2020. Fittingly also on this day we commemorated the sad and untimely death, 40 years ago, of John Lennon. 

'Love to Love', written by Eric Geurts, is a musical tribute to the dreamer John Lennon, written in a style reminiscent of Lennon’s own distinctive Beatles style.

With a release date just before Christmas, 'Love to Love' is above all an idealistic plea for more love and peace in these challenging times. Staying with the theme of John Lennon’s music, the B-side is a cover of Lennon's song 'Love'.

Every year we go to the Philippines to visit my wife's family. The most important event during our yearly holiday is the organization of the 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 in Manila during the Christmas season. 

If you want to participate in doing something good for these street children and giving them a heartful remembrance of a joyful day, you can do so by donating something in our PayPal pool 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗽𝗮𝗹.𝗺𝗲/𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀/𝗰/𝟴𝘁𝗣𝗶𝗵𝗴𝗮𝗼𝟵𝗞 or our PayPal account (𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗽𝗮𝗹.𝗺𝗲/𝗯𝗳𝗰𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗹). Your money goes straight to the children, without any deductions (except for paypal and bank transfer costs). We buy food and entertain the children with chants and plays. If we have enough money, we also make sure they have a take-away package, including a backpack with school supplies food (rice etc). 

Due to the Corona virus, we cannot go this year, and so our next visit is planned on December, 2021. However, if we have enough funds before December, 2020, we will work together with a local church in the Philippines to organize the Feeding Program already this Christmas season. 

We post our videos and pictures on facebook every year: 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸.𝗰𝗼𝗺/𝗕𝗙𝗖𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹.

Thank you!

It's not easy after all we've been through
We all have our inner struggles too
There's good and bad in everyone,
in you and me
		
Love is patient, love is kind
It's time to leave our pains and sorrows behind
If we'd behave just half as nice
this place could be a paradise
		
If we stopped being so blind
everything would be fine

Why don't we love to love love
Love to love Love
Let's show the love that we all dream of
Why don't we love to love?
	
There's food for all if we only learn to share
'cause rich and poor, we all breathe the same air
Some are lucky to be born
on the right side of the world
	
If we just opened our minds
everything would be fine
		
Why don't we love to love love
Love to love Love
Let's show the love that we all dream of
Why don't we love to love?
		
We already have so much
We still can't seem to get enough
but in the end, will we be satisfied?
Let's stop the taking,
start the giving
It's time to turn the tide
		
Why don't we love to love love
Love to love Love
Let's show the love that we all dream of
Why don't we love to love?
		
Love to love Love
Love, love, love, love

Many musicians who have known the sixties or seventies (consciously or not...) have been heavily infected by the melodic pop music virus of those days. This diagnostic is more than accurate for the musical influences of guitarist, singer-songwriter and producer Eric Geurts. Since his early teens he plays and composes melodic pop- and rocksongs. His songbook is impressive: it contains more than 500 compositions.

His first official recording dates from 1984. With The Seconds he performs the song 'Time Has Changed You' on the LOF compilation.

Early nineties he is the creative force in Kiss The Bride. The band signs with EMI Belgium through which two attractive pop tunes are released: 'When the Love Is Gone' and 'Sometimes It Just Ain't Enough'. In the slipstream of some TV performances Kiss The Bride intensively tours the local concert circuit.

In 1997 another hit single emerges from Eric's musical brain. For Universal Music Belgium he composes and produces 'Not Afraid of the Dark', an exiting tune, performed by Indiana.

The new millennium appeals for a new milestone in Eric's career. In 2003 he creates his own record label Flying Snowman Records. He contracts female singer Yanah to work on a full CD. The first release with Yanah is the single 'The Girl In The Picture'. The song is an homage to Kim Phuc, the screaming little girl running away from napalm fire in the world famous picture taken by Nick Ut in 1972 during the Vietnamese war. Kim is now leading an NGO for children victims of war. All the benefits of the song are for The Kim Foundation International.

'All She's Saying', the second single from the CD, gets a lot of airplay on FM4. Another release 'Back Against the Wall' gets a heavy rotation on Radio 2. Yanah sings the song on popular television shows like 'Tien om te Zien' and 'Zomerhit 2004'. With 'Yes or No', the next single, Yanah attends preselections of the Eurosong contest of 2004 for Belgium. 'The Morning After' gets a lot of airplay on the Flemish radio’s. The full cd 'The Girl in the Picture' receives very positive press reviews. Yanah's band, with Eric as lead guitarist and musical director, play many in- and outdoor concerts.

After producing some local musical acts and playing a lot of concerts with the classic cover band NeverB4, Eric now steps forward as a solo artist with a new release. The single 'Heaven' is a melodious pop ballad with a serious reminiscence to the glorious post-Beatle sound of John Lennon or Tom Petty.
