Eric on his motivation for "From the Cradle"...
"'Nothing but my soul to save, from the cradle to the grave'...It was one of those things, you wake up
in the middle of the night, run downstairs and write it down. What it means, I think, is that the music
I'm making here has been my motivation. It's the thing I've turned to, the thing that has given me
inspiration and relief, in all the trials and tribulations in my life."
