Reviews

“As I’m a veteran Motown staffwriter myself, I know the ”real deal” musically when I hear it. And this latest song from Erik ”In The Beginning” has got ”soul, soul, soul, for days !!!! I had a bounce in my step and a big old smile on my face from…..beginning…to end !!!”
Alan Roy Scott, top Hollywood songwriter and music producer 

”An energetic, uplifting track calling to mind ’80’s pop sophisticates like Spandau Ballet”
Brett Perkins, Founder of Copenhagen Songwriters Festival

Lyrics

In the beginning, there was nothing but a dream
In the beginning, like a picture that you’ve seen
we just thought of something better
thought of something we could believe in
In the beginning, there was nothing but a dream

where do we go from here?
where do we start (where do we go from here)
where do we go from here?
where do we start?

They say we should hold back
and keep our thoughts to ourselves
they say we should stay low
and put our dreams on the shelf
when you believe in something better
believe in something yet to be found
it’s in the beginning for you to stand your ground

where do we go from here?
where do we start (where do we go from here)
where do we go from here?
where do we start?

don’t let anybody bring you down
no matter what they say
it’s gonna be alright we’re here together
hold on to your dreams and tell us all about what you’ve found
