Bio:
Eric Dodd grew up in Lake Oconee, Ga. chasing two things: golf balls and guitar. But in the end, it was lyrics over links that brought him to Music City.
Dodd first gained national attention as a CMT Discovery Artist, but he honed his craft playing more than 200 dates a year throughout the southeast performing in clubs, SEC colleges, and music halls where his likable personality, feel-good lyrics, musicianship, and energetic stage presence earned him a faithful following in a region with strong musical tastes and a deep pool of talent.
His musical journey has him weaving seamlessly between rock, country, and Americana with themes that speak to the heart of a Friday night, as well as a Monday morning. As a songwriter, he can be sweetly nostalgic and equally rambunctious. On “The Reason,” the debut single from his upcoming self-titled EP, Dodd sings with equal parts ache and authenticity. Inspired by the example of his grandparents, Dodd writes about love and relationships with a heightened level of sincerity, respect, and honesty.
Lyrics:
You’re the blue in a midnight fire
You’re the soul in a Sunday choir
You’re the kind of girl makes me wanna walk a straight line
A sweet whisper in my arms
Slow dancing in the dark
Holding onto you is the holy truth I believe, baby baby
If I fall in love
If I give it all to us
If my wild heart is tamed, my pride finally breaks
Surrenders to this feeling
You’ll be the cause
You’ll be the reason
You’re the steady I’m clinging to
No doubt of who’s saving who
If there’s an answer to prayer, then baby it’s you
If I fall in love
If I give it all to us
If my wild heart is tamed, my pride finally breaks
Surrenders to this feeling
You’ll be the cause
You’ll be the reason yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re the writing on the wall
You’re the right to all my wrong
If I’m ever off, you’re turn me on
If I fall in love
If I give it all to us
If my wild heart is tamed, my pride finally breaks
Surrenders to this feeling
You’ll be the cause
You’ll be the reason
You’ll be the cause
You’ll be the reason
