As a teenager, Eric joined a band and began touring Asia for 5 years. “Playing everywhere,” he says, “six nights a week, in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines – I really got my road legs through that.” These experiences were crucial to his development as a performer, musician, and most importantly, as a person.
Teaching himself audio engineering, and expanding his musical repertoire to include drums, guitar, bass, and keys, it wasn’t long before Eric developed his own unique blend of synth driven, electronic pop music infused with classic soul melodies.
Applying his sound to remixes for groups such as The XX, Passion Pit, and Owl City, Eric began getting notice from major music publications (including Rolling Stone.com) and landing #1 Most Downloaded Track on Hype Machine. Growing as an artist and producer, Eric began focusing more on his own career and soon found himself collaborating with world-renowned engineer Dave ‘Rave’ Ogilvie, on his 2010 EP Antarctica.
In 2011, Eric released 2 singles “ALL”, which went #19 on the Billboard Emerging Canadian Artist Chart, and “Addicted", which reached #18 on that same chart, cracked Top 40 at Radio, while it’s French version “Accro De Toi” burned up to #14 in Eric’s old hometown of Montreal.
Now in L.A, Eric has been writing and recording with top industry professionals such as Michelle Lewis, Heather Holly, Damon Elliot, Maria Christensen, Michael "Smidi" Smith and Rob Hoffman. He's looking to hone his distinct musical style and break new heights in the U.S.
Addicted
Eric Solomon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so hypnotic what you do to me
I just can't seem to let go
Caught in a trance and I can't get free
You're calling me to the floor
Pre-
I get hooked when you drop a needle in the groove
You're quite the spectable
What can I dooo
You got me addicted
I left my heart out on the floor
I'm all twisted
The music's got me begging for more
I come alive (come alive) while you kill me here
Don't let it die (let it die) if the end is near
I raise 'em high (raise 'em high) cause I have no fear
You got me addicted (ohh) addicted (ohh)
I've never felt this way before
You've go tme under your control
It's like my body's got a mind of it's own
You must be supernatural
(Pre-)
What can I do what can do
When I need you now (need you now)
What can I do what can do
When I got to have it now
In Eric Solomon's song "Addicted," the singer is completely consumed and taken over by the music being played. The lyrics are an expression of how the singer is unable to resist the spell of the music and how they have been engulfed by it. The first verse helps to paint a picture of how the singer's body reacts to the music. They describe the experience as being "hypnotic" and the way their body moves as being completely out of their control. This is evident when the singer says "Caught in a trance and I can't get free, you're calling me to the floor." The lyrics give an indication that the music is so compelling that the singer cannot resist it, and they describe how their body and mind have been taken over.
The next verse is akin to a confession, admitting that the music has left them addicted - "You got me addicted, I left my heart out on the floor." The lyrics convey a feeling of surrender and submission where the singer is powerless to resist the music's effect. The bridge reinforces this message, and the singer confirms that they have never felt this way before and that the music has taken control of them.
In summary, the song is about being under the power of music, surrendering oneself to it, and imploring the music not to stop because it brings so much joy and ecstasy.
