Sure from Sure by Ash & Eric
After 8 years together, Ash & Eric have faced the difficulties of any long-term relationship. Add producing albums, touring, then the massive impact COVID had on their career and livelihood to the regular pressures of married-life, their relationship hasn’t always been easy. However, in the chaos of 2020, and after travelling through life’s ups and downs together for nearly a decade, Ash & Eric are more “Sure” than they’ve ever been. Their relationship has been the anchor and the constant source of security in all of life’s waxing and waning.

Lyrics
Our love is the blanket on top of the sheet
That gets kicked around all night at our feet
With our pushing & pulling, our giving & taking
A comforter heavy with down
Some nights, it’s the pillows that cradle our heads
But end up crushed between the wall & the bed
But we wake with the light and we straighten the blankets
And fluff out the pillows again
Darling, I’m sure as the morning
Sure as the kettle that sings out its warning
I’m sure as an addiction to caffeine
You know I’m sure
As sure as I’ll ever be
Our love is a theory tested and tried
The scientists all said the numbers weren’t right
And we all believed them, the church even paid them
To tell us the earth wasn’t round
But darling, I’m sure as the seed
That grew in the apple that fell from the tree
Yes, I’m sure, as sure as gravity
You know I’m sure
As sure as I’ll ever be
Our love is the anchor I often ignore
Taking for granted our home by the shore
But you never lift it, so we never drift
Into the heart of the storm
Darling, I’m sure as the moon
Waxing and waning from July to June
Yes, I’m sure as the tides of the sea
You know I’m sure
As sure as I’ll ever be

Ash & Eric have never shied away from life’s hard edges. Hailing from the gritty heart of the Industrial Revolution -- Worcester, Massachusetts -- the two find consolation in discovering the beauty of being artists in the most stubbornly independent city in the north east. Their musings reflect the hope and pain we all experience sung in voices as vulnerable and honest as their lyrics.
