On April 14, 2021, Eric Geurts released his solo debut CD 'Leave A Mark'. 'Mysterious', a catchy classic pop-rock song in the style of Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, will be released as a single on May 28, 2021 on Flying Snowman Records.

'Mysterious' is about a guy who wonders where his girl-friend hangs out at night. Sometimes, she disappears without giving any sign. It seems clear that she is cheating on him, and that she doesn't take the relationship as seriously as he does.

Written, recorded, mixed and produced by Eric Geurts.

On April 14, Eric Geurts will release his solo debut CD 'Leave A Mark'. As one of the songs included in the CD but also released as a single, 'When the Love is Gone' makes for a tasty appetizer for what’s to come.

'When The Love Is Gone' molds rock and blues into a crunching, bite-sized pop song. With an easy-to-sing chorus and the unmistakable guitar influences of both Z.Z. Top and Dire Straits the song is a typical real-life love story. It tells the story of a broken relationship, infidelity and deceit, but ends with a humorous wink.

The chorus is a catchy sing-along but the words will immediately be familiar to anyone who has ever been confronted with adultery or infidelity in their own relationship.

Is there a way back after betrayal? Does the love seep away like water in a cracked jug? Can it ever be okay again? For some the answer may be yes, for others no way! And for others still, could they be persuaded to love again?

The song was released on April 1, 2021 (Flying Snowman Records).

Eric Geurts earned his spurs as a songsmith and guitarist for Kiss The Bride and Indiana, among others, but also as producer and manager of Yanah, who opened the pre-selections of Eurosong Belgium 2004 with 'Yes or No'. Together they also made the news with the release of 'The Girl in the Picture (Napalm Girl)'. The song refers to the world-famous photo of the naked young girl running down the road after a napalm attack during the Vietnam War. Kim Phuc personally came to Brussels to receive the single. In the past decade Eric has been perfecting his live guitar work and he has been making Flanders unsafe as a member of the heavy rock cover band NeverB4. 

With the Corona 'stay at home' obligation and the impossibility of performing live it has given Eric an excellent opportunity to write new songs and to revisit earlier songs that are close to his heart. Some of them have been polished up a little (new arrangements and production) while others have had their engines completely overhauled (new lyrics and vocal lines), giving them a total new lease on life. Many songs were never released to the public in their original version.

For a songwriter, songs and compositions are milestones in a life of artistic development. ‘Leave A Mark', Eric Geurts' first solo album, is an eclectic mix of pop and rock songs that have been penned over the past 45 years. The new album has 12 tracks and will be released on 14 April 2021 (Flying Snowman Records). That date is also a personal milestone in the life of Eric Geurts: the day he celebrates the start of his sixtieth year on this earth. The album is a selection of Eric's musical legacy. Which is not to say that he will stop there!

‘Leave A Mark' is an interesting stylistic mix of up-tempo Britrock ('Mysterious', 'The Morning After', 'I'm Not Afraid of the Dark'), ballads in an undisguised John Lennon tradition ('Love to Love', 'Heaven'), bluesy pop ('When the Love is Gone'), Americana ('I Still Believe in Miracles'), classic pop ('Judgement Day') and the Pink Floyd-laced 'Free Our Hearts', in which Eric conjures up beautiful guitar solos. The country-song 'Same Kind of Shine' was written by Eric together with lyricist Arlis Albritton from Nashville. The pop-reggae wobbler 'You're Not Alone', as well as the iconic jazz ballad 'The Girl in the Picture' make up the balance of this impressive first album. Some songs are light-hearted love songs, others take on the issues surrounding war, anger and loss, injustice and social problems. Others explore faith, friendship and love. In the lyrics and in the music, there are always glimmers of hope and positivity.

‘Leave A Mark' is not only a musical round-up but the title also insinuates a philosophical questioning... How many boulders do you have to move to influence the course of a river? What legacy do we leave behind for others after we die? Are our traces deep enough to stand the test of time? In a shallow world dominated by celebrity and social networking how do each of us come to terms with what is truly important? This debut album not only touches hearts and souls but also has enough entertainment content to keep the mood light-hearted and engaging.

You can buy the first single of Eric Geurts ('Heaven') on Bandcamp right now (soon also available on iTunes, Apple Music, Tindler, Deezer, Spotify, Amazon, Pandora and many other digital channels).

This song is NOT about John (Lennon), George (Harrison) and Tom (Petty) having a drink in the mythic Temple Bar... Although the music might recall the like!

"Heaven" is a romantic pop ballad about a loving angel, written and performed by singer-songwriter Eric Geurts. In his first solo release, Eric evokes the angelic feelings of a new found love.

"Heaven" is a happy, melodious love song, a perfect springtime tune.
