In 1979, Eric participated in the NY based band named "Medusa" and sung several songs for the album "Medusa".
It must be the two Lee Ritenour's album that Eric Tagg became well-known all over the world for his vocal works: "Rit" (1980) and "Rit2" (1982). In 1981, Eric released his 3rd solo album "Dreamwalkin'" only for Japan. Eric also shared his vocal works on Ritenour’s "Banded Together" (1984) and "Portrait" (1987).
Eric disappeared after the "Portrait" appearance but did some limited number of session works. In early 90's, Eric had been leading music and singing at Richland Bible Fellowship Church in Texas. Thus, we had to wait for a long time before the release of his 4th solo album "Through My Eyes" in 1997. Since 1998, Eric seems to spend most of his time again for pursuing ministry from his home in Greenville, Texas.
Other memorable performances:
Don Grusin "Julie Ann" (1981), Masaki Matsubara "Make It With Me", "Silly Crush" and "Painted Woman" (1983), "Be With Me Tonight" on the album "Earth City Expressway" with various artists (1988), Marco Taggiasco "Another Waste Of Time" (2008).
A Bigger Love
Eric Tagg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
still we musnt make a big mistake
i want your body heart & soul, yet we need some self control
coz this is more than just a one night stand
REFRAIN
when i met you, i said i want you for my own
when i met you, i had love on my mind
CHORUS
a bigger love wont let me, it's more than love i feel for you
a bigger love wont let me, take you home
a bigger love wont let me, its more than love i feel for you
a bigger love wont let me, make you mine
II: for you i'd swear by any of, this love is bigger than us both
i believe it's straight from God above
though temptations come and go, deep inside i think we know
that this is more than just a love affair
The lyrics of Eric Tagg's song "A Bigger Love" showcase a complex mix of passion, desire and responsibility. It tells the story of two people who want each other but are held back by the knowledge that their connection is much more than just physical. The singer admits that it's hard to convince the other person about the depth of his feelings, but he is willing to exercise restraint and not rush into anything that might ruin what they have. He wants the other person's body, heart and soul, but he knows that they must have self-control and not let this be just a one-night stand.
The chorus of the song tugs at the heartstrings with its confession that "a bigger love" won't let the singer take the other person home and make them his because his feelings are so much more than just love. The words suggest that there is something sacred and profound about their relationship and they are both aware of it, even though they may not be able to articulate it.
Overall, "A Bigger Love" is a song about the complexities of love, the power of desire, and the importance of self-control. It acknowledges that love is not just a physical connection but a spiritual one and that sometimes our hearts and souls yearn for something greater than what our bodies desire.

This album represents the epitome of westcoast magic. Produced by the great Lee Ritenour, he simply delivered a soft and superb material to Mr. Eric Tagg, whom I think it's one of the most underrated vocalists in existence! Seems like you're floating in some far away cloud listening to songs such as this one.

I remember this song from when I was a kid. It boggles my mind that Tagg never made it big. His songs have great lyrics, instrumentals and vocals. The record executives made a huge blunder there.
