Eric Church is addressing that topic head-on with his new single, “Like a Wrecking Ball.”
He says, “It’s about not being home to see your wife or girl for a long time, and thinking about that, preparing for that, executing that. It has nothing to do with anything else.”
Eric maintains he’s always made music geared towards adults, so he doesn’t see a problem with singing directly about making love.
“I hate innuendo,” Eric explains. “I don’t like where people get cute. I’m not 12. I don’t need people to disguise what we’re talking about. I think we can get so cute with stuff like that. Al Green didn’t get cute. Conway Twitty didn’t get cute.”
You have to admire Eric’s honesty. Yes he talks about sex, but he is hardly describing a video from https://www.tubev.sex/. It is somewhat more subtle than that! But nevertheless it’s perhaps not one for children.
Lyrics from the song include “Been too many nights since its felt us make love”, “Damn you really turn me on, painting your toenails pink”, “That old house is gonna be shaking. I hope those bricks and boards can take it” and “I’m gonna rock you baby, like a wrecking ball.”
“Like a Wrecking Ball” is the latest single from Eric’s platinum-selling album, The Outsiders.
