With Water Into Gold, Eric Frisch reveals a different side of being a musician within his lyrics. His voice sounds so smooth and steady, instilling the unwavering highs and lows of a musician. Take a look at the life of the musician and while glorious to the audience, no one really knows what’s going through the mind of who is on stage. Frisch pairs up the narrative quality with specific metaphors that resonate with any music lover, listener, and one who has gone through hard times. Such lyrics such as “I was on the top of the world, all of them would fawn over me backstage” refers to fame and how its a powerful drug and it fueled his own perception through music. When trying to reference the sound of his voice and place other musicians in a similar category, the closest listeners can point out are Sam Beam from Iron & Wine, Lord Huron, and Band of Horses. His raw and real lyrics not only make him standout, but they offer a next level connection for his listeners.
