Album Notes

***************

“Your Watercolor Heart…”

The innocence of youth…

And what happens to that innocence as you grow older and face the realities of a beautiful but sometimes difficult world. What you think about…how you react. How you grow to become the person you want to be.

These are the songs:

“(You See) Green When There’s Gray”…when an eternal optimist finally hits the wall

“Remember, Mary”…Woman contemplating Motherhood

“Carrie Won’t Call”…a star is born…then forgets where she came from

“Be Your Best"...when words weigh hard on your mind but you are trying to be...

“Ghost of the Game”…remembering childhood dreams that passed you by

These themes are textured with upbeat power pop melodies reminiscent of the earlier works of John Mellencamp and Tom Petty. Eric Nelson is one of Portland’s best emerging singer/songwriters and has been featured on VH-1 and KINK radio.
