We are no strangers to the vibrancy and talent of Eddie Cohn and we were thrilled to discover his latest release. 'Get Back My Way'.
It's a raw anthem that strike a chord through the cluttered chaos of 2025's endless scroll and burnout culture, Eddie Cohn's latest single, "Get Back My Way," lands like a much-needed exhale—a folk-rock meditation on rediscovering your footing amid the frenzy.
Released just last month, and self-produced with a crisp mix by Kevin Penner, this track clocks in at just under four minutes but packs the emotional weight of a full therapy session. Drawing from Cohn's eclectic background as a Seattle-bred songwriter, novelist, DJ, and even yoga instructor, the song feels like the sonic equivalent of downward dog: grounding yet invigorating, intimate yet expansive.
From the opening bars, "Get Back My Way" hooks you with brisk acoustic strums that evoke the unhurried introspection of '90s icons like Eddie Vedder or Ryan Adams, blended seamlessly with Cohn's signature indie rock edge. His vocals—high, insistent, and laced with a subtle grit—glide over the melody like a confession whispered over coffee, pulling you into lyrics that grapple with modern disquiet: the spinning compass of self-doubt, the ache of drifting from what grounds you.
Lines like "remember what you’re made of" hit like kintsugi philosophy in verse form, mending fractures not by hiding them but by illuminating the gold in the breaks. It's a battle cry for sanity, not in bombast, but in quiet resolve: embracing the restlessness that propels you forward. Musically, the track masterfully builds tension, starting in spacious, organic climes with mournful cello swells from Phil Peterson that add a poignant undercurrent.
As it progresses, explosive moments erupt—Brett Farkas' searing electric guitars soar, Dan Lutz's bass pulses with propulsion, and driving percussion turns the refrain into a communal chant. What begins as a languid folk whisper crescendos into something grittier, harder, almost like two songs stitched into one restless whole. It's contagious in its energy, blending tranquil melodies with cathartic grunge-inflected bursts that leave you both soothed and stirred, ready to realign.
Cohn's delivery elevates it all, his nuanced phrasing infusing sombreness with zeal, making the song feel like a personal dispatch from someone who's walked the miles (and Cohn has—geographically and metaphorically). In a year where self-care anthems often veer into saccharine territory, "Get Back My Way" stands out for its honesty: no tidy resolutions, just the echo of the struggle and the urge to keep putting one foot in front of the other. It's not just a great listen; it's a reminder that poise and poignancy can hit as hard as volume and velocity.
A folk-rock gem that wanders anthemic paths while staying true to its introspective core. Stream it now if you're craving music that feels like coming home to yourself.
