Bringing universal appeal to his music and performances, and his uncanny ability as a songwriter and in the studio as a producer, he will undoubtedly sustain widespread success in the industry for decades to come.
Growing up in a musical household, his talent has been evident from a young age. His first recording session at the age of two was only the precursor to his future in the music industry. Soon after he acted in a movie “Under the Cover of Darkness” with Richard Bradford and for several years he was on the award winning “As the World Turns”. These experiences prompted him to learn all components of the business, from the technical to the artistic. At this young age, he also began his musical journey with piano and guitar lessons, and continued to study and evolve.
After graduating from a prestigious private school, Eren was among the 24 musician/producers accepted into New York University’s Clive Davis Recorded Music program. He submitted his song “Part of Me” for his application portfolio. The song was soon after selected for the Dawson’s Creek DVD in 2003, and is also featured on Eren’s debut album. While pursuing his education, he continues developing his skills as a songwriter and producer creating music for himself and other artists. His songs can be heard on Brie Larson’s debut album, released on Tommy Mottola’s Casablanca Records.

He has become a highly recognized artist in his native Long Island and his fan base has been steadily growing as he performs legendary venues around New York City. Eren has been able to establish himself as an original artist, bringing relatable lyrics reflecting life experiences both on stage and in the studio. Having a musical veteran father, Richie Cannata (Billy Joel, The Beach Boys) provided him with some amazing opportunities to be on stage at a very early age. Being on stage stimulated a desire to perform and seek out the adrenaline of live and studio performance.
Eren is presently in the studio writing and recording songs for his next album, tentatively scheduled for an early 2010 release. His talent in the studio as a producer has not gone unnoticed either as Eren has recently finished work with P. Diddy’s “Making The Band” contestant Donnie Klang, and is currently producing tracks for debut albums by Timbaland protégés Amar and Jim Beanz (both were featured on Timbaland’s album, “Shock Value”.)
Eren’s debut CD, “Blame It On The City” is available now on Brown Dog Records and is distributed through Nile Rodgers’ Sumthing Distribution. The CD was just released in the Pacific Rim by StarSearch Media Group, with distribution throughout Korea and China.

I'm Gone
Eren Cannata Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many times I feel like runnin' away
But I can't cause of you
So many say, why you play this dumb game?
I guess I like the abuse
Now is it mine, my turn to go the other way
And face the only way that I feel
It's everyday I cry myself to sleep
That's how I know this is real

Can you tell me bout the times you walked away

Too bad you're comin back
Too bad I'm withdrawn
Too bad its cause I'm gone
Too bad you've been untrue
No more off and on too bad its
Cause I'm gone

Up, Down, All around out the door now im not here anymore
Say those stupid words I know your not in right mind
You should have thought of that before

Can you tell me bout the times you walked away

Too bad you're comin back
Too bad I'm withdrawn
Too bad it's cause I'm gone
Too bad you've been untrue
No more off and on, too bad, it's
Cause I'm gone

Do you remember the when we were younger?
We used to stay up until 5
Blurry contacts with I notion which to act on
I really don't think you should drive

I hear the thoughts now surrounding me, a lack of common sense
In my blind spot I forget the yesterday, you don't know what I underwent

Can you tell me bout the time I walked away

Too bad you're comin back
Too bad I'm withdrawn
Too bad it's cause I'm gone
Too bad you've been untrue

No more off and on, too bad, it's
Cause I'm gone

Line by Line Meaning

So many times I feel like runnin' away
I often contemplate running away

But I can't cause of you
I stay because of you

So many say, why you play this dumb game?
People often ask why I put up with this situation

I guess I like the abuse
Perhaps I enjoy the hurt that comes with it

Now is it mine, my turn to go the other way
Now it's my turn to leave and face the truth

And face the only way that I feel
I must confront my emotions head-on

It's everyday I cry myself to sleep
I am constantly in emotional pain

That's how I know this is real
My feelings are genuine and intense

Too bad you're comin back
It's unfortunate that you are returning

Too bad I'm withdrawn
It's unfortunate that I am distant

Too bad it's cause I'm gone
It's unfortunate that my absence is causing this

Too bad you've been untrue
It's unfortunate that you have been unfaithful

No more off and on, too bad, it's
Our relationship will no longer be inconsistent, but unfortunately

Cause I'm gone
Because I am no longer present

Up, Down, All around out the door now im not here anymore
I am leaving from every direction and you will not find me anymore

Say those stupid words I know your not in right mind
I recognize that your words are not coming from a rational place

You should have thought of that before
You should have considered the consequences before speaking

Do you remember the when we were younger?
Do you recall our past when we were younger?

We used to stay up until 5
We would stay up very late

Blurry contacts with I notion which to act on
I am unsure which decision to make

I really don't think you should drive
I am concerned for your safety if you were to drive

I hear the thoughts now surrounding me, a lack of common sense
I am aware of the irrational thoughts circulating in my mind

In my blind spot I forget the yesterday, you don't know what I underwent
I am disregarding the past and you do not fully understand what I am going through

Can you tell me bout the time I walked away
Can you recall the time when I left?
