Eric Paslay on “Come Into Our World,” a Song for ALS Awareness
Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling singer-songwriter Eric Paslay joins me to talk about the night he drew my song idea out of a hat.
Eric brought his unique songwriting experience, "Song In A Hat" to Hop On A Cure's "Harmony for Hope" event and something magical happened there. My "Song In A Hat" idea was randomly drawn. This led to me joining musicians Eric Paslay, Kristian Bush, Chris Gelbuda, Cyndi Thomson and DJ Goodman on stage to witness my song idea turn into an actual song - in under just 10 minutes. My idea was "Come Into Our World." My intent was to have a song created that would invite others to understand ALS and join our fight for a cure. Here we learn more about this master of music, talk about that evening and how we can wrap up the song and release it to the world.
Eric has made a significant impact on the music industry with his hit singles "Friday Night", "Song About a Girl", and "She Don't Love You". He has written and co-written many hits for other artists, including Lady A, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Amy Grant, Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelley and more. He co-wrote Jake Owen's "Barefoot Blue Jean Night", the Will Hoge/Eli Young Band song "Even If It Breaks Your Heart", and Love and Theft's "Angel Eyes" all of which were number 1 singles on the country charts.
Eric was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 10 years old, and uses his platform to advocate for diabetes awareness, inspiring and supporting others living with the condition. Listen in to our heartfelt and powerful conversation bursting with HOPE. Thank you for sharing with a friend.
Hugs, Lorri
