LYRICS

I WILL

I understand
We are grains of sand
Moving steady
With a plan

You watch everything
Know the words I sing
I’m still here
I’m still here

Finally, I kinda feel like something’s gotta change soon
I’m over pushing boulders up the mountain side,
When will it be rolling down the other side
But things will change

And I will soon

You arrive at night
I am out of sight
Go to sleep
See you soon

Maybe, a different situation is the way to go
We never see each other except in photos
I still feel the way I felt long ago
afraid to change

I will soon

TIME TO MOVE ON

You and I
Lose our minds
Learning
To draw the line

The color of the soul
tends to bleed
Solidified
into a seed

Is it time to move on?
Or make a change to fix what’s wrong
Is it time to move on?

So I plant the seed
into the ground
And watch it become
something profound

Chop it down
once it’s big
Or drown the doubt
with a swig

Is it time to move on?
Or make a change to fix what’s wrong
Is it time to move on?
Can we find where we went wrong
Where we went wrong

TELL ME NO

I went home with you, thinking I’d get sleep
You took a risk on me
Now we’re standing here, with the lights down low
I don’t know what you want, I’ll get ready to go

Why won’t you tell me baby not to go?
Don’t let me back out in the cold
Why won’t you tell me baby not to go?
Tell me no!

Alright I’ll stay a while, this whole thing is new
I took a risk on you
Now we’re standing here, there’s nothing to fear
Look right in my eyes, tell me not to go

Why won’t you tell me baby not to go?
Don’t let me back out in the cold
Why won’t you tell me baby not to go?
Tell me no!

Tonight
between you and I
We’re feeling alright
We’re feeling alive

Why won’t you tell me baby not to go?
Don’t let me back out in the cold
Why won’t you tell me baby not to go?
Tell me no!

Why won’t you tell me baby not to go?
Don’t let me walk out of that door
Please just tell me baby not to go
Tell Me No

DRIVING IN THE RAIN

Sun shines on you
You feel like it’s rain
Water from heaven
Ain’t as bad as where we came

Mountains are painted
Sunset red
Standing in silence
Still doing what we said

Please do not worry
It will pass
Shrug it off
Pain never lasts

Even though when we drive it’s raining
I want you to know the journey is still entertaining

Well let the rain become an ocean
Nothings stopping forward motion

Even though when we drive it’s raining
I want you to know the journey is still entertaining

INTROVERT

Sometimes you’ll get away
Grab the keys and hit the highway
I am trying to comprehend
Where you go, it’s unknown
But I know you love to be alone

Keep me in your heart
It’s been like this from the start
You said you’re an introvert
No one’s perfect I once heard

Sometimes I talk too much
You’re overwhelmed and out of touch
Crawling back to piece of mind
But silence is violence
Like thunder in my head
In my head

Keep me in your heart
It’s been like this from the start
You said you’re an introvert
No one’s perfect I once heard

I’ve seen you come alive
Tired of standing on the side
You say you’re an introvert
Free from what you’ve heard

About

Hailing from Del Norte, Colo., Grayson Erhard’s style leans heavily on the technically complex tap-slap style of percussive guitar often paired with moving, airy vocals. Erhard often feels the pull between performing as a musicians’ musician and the hook writing world of pop, creating a sound that weaves between complement and contrast. This unique tension, combined with Erhard’s experience sharing the stage with Stevie Wonder, has led to Erhard’s viral success and a sound that both complements and contrasts his various styles.

Songs like “Manifest” and “Tapestry” showcase Erhard’s ability to stand on his own, organically, and represent beacons of the kind of musician Erhard strives to be.

While he daylights as a computer programmer, Erhard’s music showcases his authentic, organic style, honed since his childhood in the southern Colorado town of Del Norte—a rural community of 1,800 people on the western edge of the San Luis Valley. More commonly known as “The Valley,” it’s a section of Colorado hot with alien observatories and cosmic undertones. Here, in isolation, Erhard ground out a sound that is entirely his own, but this small town was no place to pursue a music career or develop his budding interest in programming, driving him to the Front Range.

However, after moving to northern Colorado, he quickly experienced culture shock. The oversaturation of fake news, politicking and the constant distraction of this new environment drove him to the extent that he needed to write music relentlessly. Hence his standout piece, “Manifest”, was born, a cultural narrative that laments our dependence on social media and its propensity to overwhelm our lives. “Manifest / your world is your reflection,” Erhard sings in its video, surrounded by televisions and computers that flicker with images of then-president Barack Obama, Kim Kardashian and infomercial detritus. Written in part to assail the internet, Erhard’s song was championed by it. In November 2016, “Manifest” shot to nearly 1 million views from Facebook and YouTube in its first week, with an appearance on Reddit’s front page.

Recently following the viral success of “Manifest”, Erhard was finishing an abbreviated cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” to a small audience at a music trade show called NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) when Wonder himself approached the stage. Baffled, Erhard apologized to him for not knowing the lyrics to the second and third verse.

The rest is viral history.

“I’ll teach you the words you don’t know,” Wonder said, and over Erhard’s knotty guitar playing, the two launched into an impromptu duet. The crowd grew exponentially and proceeded to watch through their phones. The next day, Erhard was in Rolling Stone, taking calls from Good Morning America and appearing on major television networks all across the globe. The media attention from that second strike of viral lightning allowed Erhard to resign from his day job to pursue music full time.

Ironically, with the help of his computer programming background, Erhard has been able to capitalize on the importance of social media by building a web presence and community around his music, pushing his message of authenticity via the channels that challenge it. Erhard’s newest collection of music, EARTHSHIP, came to life inside of a Taos, NM earthship with co-writer, Bannigrin. The songs span from folk rock to hard rock and feature a style of guitar playing that’s never been placed in those genres before, percussive fingerstyle. EARTHSHIP consists of five full-band tracks; and in honor of the fans that have been with him from the start, a stripped-down acoustic version of each song will accompany the release.
