Hear New Eric Johnson Singles, ‘To Be Alive’ and ‘Move On Over’
Eric Johnson has released two more singles, one each from his upcoming albums.
“To Be Alive” appears on The Book of Making while “Move On Over” appears on Yesterday Meets Today. Both will be released on July 29 and are available for preorder now.
The singles can be heard below.
In a statement, Johnson described “To Be Alive” – which features Brian May's protege Arielle – as “a song I wrote years ago but never had any lyrics for. It was recorded a couple years ago after Arielle wrote some very nice lyrics for it. I’m a big fan of her voice, and I love the way she sang the song.”
He added that “Move On Over” was “a variation on a John Lee Hooker riff, and I just added some vocals that would talk about getting out of the way and letting the universal spirit flow through you.” He noted that he previously performed it live during one of his Alien Love Child shows.
In April, Johnson released “Soundtrack Life” from The Book of Making and the title track from Yesterday Meets Today.
