The Cave Springs songwriter draws on his latest release from a personal place, connecting family history, emotional honesty, and his decision to express affection openly. Based in Cave Springs, United States, the Panamanian-born songwriter has spent more than three decades developing music through acoustic guitar, faith, travel, and an appreciation for different traditions. The song is intimate, yet its message reaches far beyond one relationship.
The inspiration began with a realization about his childhood. Erick grew up in a home where his parents did not verbally express love because they had not received those words themselves. As an adult, he decided not to repeat that inherited silence. He chose to tell his wife and children that he loved them, creating a healthier pattern for the next generation. The song becomes an expression of that decision: affection should not remain assumed; it deserves to be spoken and experienced.
Love can become stronger when people are willing to communicate it, when old family habits have taught them to remain quiet. Erick transforms a realization into something listeners can recognize within their own families, relationships, and memories.
His musical background provides a broad foundation for that storytelling. His father was a singer who introduced him to ballads and love songs, while acoustic guitar became a companion. For more than thirty-five years, Erick has performed with his church worship band and has written more than 1,200 songs. Those years have given him an understanding of melody as creative expression and emotional release.
Although country holds a special place in his musical identity because of its raw and direct character, Erick refuses to remain inside one genre. His bilingual songwriting draws from pop, salsa, merengue, bachata, flamenco, vallenato, reggaeton, mariachi, and traditions shaped by his Panamanian roots and life in the United States.
His experience with music-production software has expanded that independence. Erick can develop instrumentation, tempo, vocals, arrangements, and stylistic direction himself, approaching production as an amateur creator who enjoys discovering new possibilities. Technology becomes an extension of songwriting rather than a substitute for personal expression.
“Show What I Feel” therefore represents a romantic dedication. It is a statement about emotional inheritance and the courage to change what gets passed forward. ERICKOSCAR reminds listeners that tenderness becomes meaningful when it is communicated, turning personal history into music that encourages openness, connection, and a generous understanding of love.
