El Olson Moments of pure lucidity. This is what you are granted when pressing "play" on Eric Canto's second album. The seventh seal released, devil comes out to play and God's in his heaven, all's right with the world. What I love about this album is that even when it's a marked shift towards modern pop sensibilities, you can still make out an unmistakable guitar genius in the fray. Canto doesn't let the synths overpower his compositional prowess.

NOTHING BETTER 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Look what we started now We can taste it, we can't ever quit Long drives and dreaming of whatever makes right now forever Let's capture every moment in time Bottle it, and watch it shine You got your mind on the attraction And my hands gripping your waistline No one deserves this time as much as you and I This love craves for a reckless youth And there's something dangerous about you You're the blood rush that reminds us That there's nothing better than right now forever Say what you're thinking of Though it's no secret because your eyes reveal Summer skin and shallow breaths Young and eager as both our knees grow weaker Let's capture every moment in time Bottle it, and watch it shine Ditch the car-- lay beneath the sky an by our clothes While basking in headlights No one deserves this time as much as you and I This love craves for a reckless youth And there's something dangerous about you You're the blood rush that reminds us That there's nothing better than right now forever

SMOOTH 03:16
lyrics

Remember when I crashed the bike into the fence? Remember when we both realized that we were best friends? Clean the sheets, fuck with me, flip the record to side B Arguing-- die for you in a heartbeat Heartbeat fast, scrape my chest, baby no regrets Read my face I can't wait to drive across entire states everyday with my best friend Summer is in our trembling hands Oh it's what I'm thinking of when staring at the ceiling tiles This ride and your legs are smooth and go on for miles You're what I need / the summer's ours California's ours to take Remember when you looked for signs of my interest to date Like how my boy and I look out for blue on license plates Fast nights in my car and getting home way too late Then lay in bed and we talk until the sun rises Summer's in our trembling hands And we can touch until we exhaust my demands And we can touch until you memorize these hands Ocean breeze, white tees, such a tease Oh it's what I'm thinking of when staring at the ceiling tiles This ride and your legs are smooth and go on for miles You're what I need / the summer's ours California's ours to take

Finally found out I'm out of style Finally know now what's been haunting me in the meanwhile Fervor for someone Fear for loss of love Feathers, wings plucked from when I was years younger And when you were impressed by me Angel wings-- stitch them onto me Oh babe, there's a ghost in my veins I just cant give it up I toss and turn in this bed that I've made I just can't give it up Baby rest your issues on my chest Bedridden in my head unless I do what's best now Cuz I deserve the best and I've known that for years now Never forget what made you loved and what you're not now Never forget what made you loved Oh babe, there's a ghost in my veins I just cant give it up I toss and turn in this bed that I've made I just can't give it up I just can't give it up Ghost in my veins Toss and turn babe I know what you like and I got it now

I know you're missing what you had, yes That's why you touch yourself to old texts That's why you frontin but your pants wet So I say, "If you want it you can have it" Sweet ride, sweet ride Eat the peach well then you're high Girl you're naughty Put that intimidating body right here And if you want it you can have it baby I ain't gonna lie I know you don't need nobody But your body is telling me what you'd like And if you want me come and have me Baby give it a try Feel my body on your body I know that life is such a short ride That's why I'm thinking bout you all night That's why I'm worrying bout my own life That's why I'm thinking bout you all night I forget, what can you do with that body? My mistake girl-- would you please remind me? If you let me then I won't hesitate love I caught something for you and now it's all I think of And if you want it you can have it baby I ain't gonna lie I know you don't need nobody But your body is telling me what you'd like And if you want me come and have me Baby give it a try Feel my body on your body Oh babe, you're naughty Put that intimidating body right here You like it right there Right fucking there

MOOD 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Midnight love and a warm feeling New skin served in naked evenings Everyone's first time for many things Age craves for what is always fleeting We all want that fire, we all want that new love Or new life that gifts us what were deserving of Ache for tender, aggressive anxiousness For dark rooms and tender flesh kisses New love New money I got you in the mood And I would bottle the feeling alone Drinking until I've to be driven home Feel it all the morning after and repeat again the next weekend Pleasure is a flavor that ripens with age Pleasure is my mouth tracing yours for days Our tongues dance and wrestle within the wet cage Mine performs unassisted and occupies a flesh stage And I silently starve for a foreign rush To be inspired by just single touch The indecision, the ambivalent love Forever is a hollow pledge Forever is an empty fuck New love New money I got all, just invest yourself in it I got you in the mood Youth flows in your body And I'm sipping from the fountain Come and have me Youth flows in your body And I'm sipping yeah All night yeah Youth flows in your body And I'm sipping from the fountain Come and have me The night's so exciting The drinks so enticing Could I brush your arm again? Will you catch all my feelings then? New love New money I got it all Just invest yourself in it I got you in the mood

FAR 03:50
lyrics

I would never blame you my love This is just your way of getting clean Cuz you know how dirty it gets with me We both know a tease is not enough But you know how we grind the boundaries How limited our self control can be You don't know this but I know just who you are You're addicted to how it feels to go too far So let's see how much it takes to take it too far Don't pretend like I don't know just who you are Let's just see how much it takes to take it too far But baby tell me how far is too far? I keep holding on to every night Wanting to memorize the way you taste How much you can't afford to love the chase But you converse with me until it's light Use your words, use your body Let's just fuel our fire tonight You don't know this but I know just who you are You're addicted to how it feels to go too far

Love, you got a funny way of showing it off It's like you don't know that you got it at all You wanna dance til your body gets sore And no more See what you're giving but I want some more Come and show me what those hips are for You wanna make love til your body gets sore Love, I'm filling my lungs With your ocean love Babe, I hear something different when I say your name The equivalent of crashing waves Your tan skin's got me feeling a way I mean we gotta get together some day If you want a game then I want to play You got a body that was made to sway Love, I'm filling my lungs With your ocean love I mean we gotta get together some day Oh baby your love is crashing waves Love, I'm filling my lungs With your ocean love I mean we gotta get together some day You got a body that was made to sway I mean we gotta get together some day Oh babe, your love is crashing waves

I'm breaking hearts just for the fucking fun of it You don't know me anymore I'm on some different shit Uh, you didn't know but you know now Low life, low life, til I pass out From what you think-- from the drink, from the strong type All these girls look too good in this low light Hard to believe, but don't believe that you could be my type Cuz I done changed, I done changed, I'm a low life Low life, low life Make my own decisions and I never think twice Not that hard to do when I’m dismissing your advice And it ain't that hard to do when you’re always under disguise Living lush now, for the right now, til I come down But I never do, and I never lose It ain't that hard to do when you're just doing you Goddamn I'm living and I'm lush right now Way too young to be tied down And she don't wanna be tied down Unless its to the bed right now So I do it Living lush now, for the right now, til I Living lush now, for the right now, til I I'm living and I'm lush right now Way too young to be tied down And she don't wanna be tied down Unless its to the bed right now So I do it Take you off my brain until you take off the disguise Nowadays they only with me if I ain't with my pride Now day ones turn to fake ones overnight Change as quick as the time I can't trust none of you guys Living lush now, for the right now, til I come down Living lush now, for the right now, til I come down

Relax now, relax now I want that mouth shut and your hair down You want my clothes off and the lights out Won't waste a single drop of you now You look like you've been with Midas But the karats don't define us Baby gold is a sensation I need body syncopation I need sexual frustration You say it's all for me And I can't feel my teeth But they feel your clothes straps They travel down your back I want you to relax Don't gotta think this out So relax right now I know you want to We'll pretend it's love Like we're both enough I know you want to We don't feel a fucking thing But we could if we wanted to Like it's more than just a fling You never been so soft Soft spoken with those soft lips But loud when we lock hips Die for you to live forever in my white tees Summer tan for your man but he can never please Shed your skin as if your inside is frozen So in love with the sun but it's only warm for the moment You say it's all for me And I can't feel my teeth But they feel your clothes straps They travel down your back I want you to relax Don't gotta think this out So relax right now I know you want to We'll pretend it's love Like we're both enough I know you want to I want to know you now So baby Make me I want to know you now I want to know you now Tell me It's for me I want to know you now

DREAM 05:02

Don't know enough about you But I know how you play the game girl, I do Keep on dancing, touching on those boys in twos While I keep making the music you dance to I don't give a fuck when you answer the call I'm better with paying no mind, offer no words at all You ain't used to giving it up, not used to grabbing that wall But just know that when I have it, I'm gonna make it a habit, that's all Don't get it twisted baby Use your imagination all you want Cuz when you're dreaming of me it's always between the sheets of the boys you haunt They know you play, never stay, but you shouldn't hesitate. Not with me I'll love you just as good baby In and out of your dreams baby Thirsty every Thursday Never think twice bout your own age You and your girls get served anyway You and your girls get fucked up everyday You and your girls could get it any day Because I got it, if you want it And it don't matter what the fuck I say You would probably be down anyway Cuz I know the game honey You're not used to this type of fame honey But baby girl what do you expect Got all these guys so damn obsessed Either want your heart or they want your sex I don't want neither girl I just want your sense now Is that too much to ask now? Is that too much? What's in your heart when you starve for a touch? Oh my god Girl you're just so fucking bad and I promise to keep you coming Take seven shots of that tequila right off your fucking stomach You attached to nobody but the money-- oh girl I get it But I'm bettin once you roll with me baby you would forget that Don't get it twisted baby Use your imagination all you want Cuz when you're dreaming of me it's always between the sheets of the boys you haunt They know you play, never stay, but you shouldn't hesitate Not with me Cuz I'll fuck you just as good baby In and out of your dreams baby What do bad girls dream of?
