I always liked the music of John Lennon and this is my attempt (however feeble) to do something in the tradition of "Instant Karma," and "Just Like Starting Over."

Rock and roll, pop, and electronica, with some jazz for good measure.
The Michael Erik Band.....hmmmm.....I guess it comes from a place that's hard to define. It's a guitar, a drum, a synthesizer, and a lot of guesswork. I can't really say if any of it is good. But I want to throw it out to everyone....and I do mean everyone. I want to hear the attaboys AND the critics. To tell the truth, I'd like to hear more from the latter. I want to hear what you think I can and can't do. You're the listener. I'm just a legend in my own mind.

Story behind the song
The song asks, "Where were you back in '70?" It's like an older guy talking to a young girl about how it was back in the day and ends up revealing maybe a little too much about himself.
Lyrics
Where were you back in '70? When I turned over love like a song Then when I didn't want to be In a climb, buying time for a song Back when life around did not go by But, more or less, stayed the same With the skirts abound, but I was shy And though never one to bless I could never take the blame Where were you 'neath the shining moon? High above, so in love, like a song Reeling while a Buddy Holly tune Helped the day fade away like a song Like the million more that came before Sweetly made in the air With my ship ground on a different shore And if she never was around The songs were always there. Back when life around did not go by But, more or less, stayed the same Where the skirts abound but I was shy And though never one to bless I could never take the blame Where were you back in '70 When I turned over love like a song Whin I turned over love like a song
