New Jersey’s Eric Sleeper is back with his latest single, “Dragons.” Eric thrives on the ability to express his thoughts and feelings through lyricism, using music to share it with others who relate to similar experiences. His new single “Dragons” does exactly that, getting listeners to understand and relate to the misconceptions social media portrays about the ideal life.
“This song is about figuring out your priorities in life, acknowledging that what we see in movies, TV, or social media may not be what it seems. It can leave you discontent and always hungry for more, rather than enjoying the journey itself.” – Eric Sleeper
The soft, background melodies with an emotive guitar and added psychedelic effects make the lyrics feel more personal and intimate. Throughout the song, Eric Sleeper makes you feel more connected with him and his understanding of appreciating what you have. Even though it might not be everything that you want, you should be content with what you have and not constantly strive for those things that are based on fame, unrealistic social standards, or simply money. With a sound akin to “Something In The Way” by Nirvana and Bob Dylan classics, this song is definitely one to add to your inspiration playlist.
