His father is of Polish Jewish descent and his mother is of part Manx descent. His maternal cousin, twice removed, was philosopher and logician Willard Van Orman Quine, and his second cousin once removed was the late guitarist Robert Quine. Auerbach grew up in a family with musical roots. Auerbach became infatuated with blues after listening to his father's old vinyl records during his childhood, his first concert was Whitney Houston with his mother at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. His second concert was a Grateful Dead show with his father at the Richfield Coliseum in Cleveland. He was influenced early-on by his mother's side of the family, notably his uncles who played bluegrass music.
ARCS may stand for:
There you were standin' in the shadows
Well I just looked where
I don't see
I'm still pretendin I don't need you
I won't let you know you're killin me
Like some big black widow spider
You know just how to catch your prey
I'm actin like it doesn't matter
And you sneak up from
Behind and whisper my name
There goes your paralyzin eyes
There goes your tantalizin smile
There goes my act of playin it cool
And there go the words
I meant to say
There go the games
I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin for you
Well I think you're playin with me darlin
You like to see what you can do
Well I should be fishin for Blue Marlin
Instead of bein hooked again by you
There goes your paralyzin eyes
There goes your tantalizin smile
There goes my act of playin it cool
And there go the words
I meant to say
There go the games
I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin for you
Yeah there goes your paralyzin eyes
There goes your tantalizin smile
There goes my heart fallin for you
