“Keep Them Away”: Eddie Cohn’s Bold Anthem for Living Freely
2 min readEddie Cohn’s single, “Keep Them Away”, touches on the concepts of freedom and perseverance. The song’s tune resembles U2’s fury, which relays the determination and frustration of a person who would rather drown out the negative so they can enjoy life to its fullest. Cohn manages to mix the grains of burning rock with lighter and personalized lyrics because his words are more general.
A quick beat marks the beginning of the song, as electric guitars begin to twang and an electric bass gradually follows the vocals, setting up a good foundation for the mixed tempo, along with Jake Reed’s pulsating energy. Furthermore, Cohn’s rich, emotive vocals stand front and center. His voice augments the message that the lyrics were trying hard to relay, sending a more urgent call to action to his audience, giving them the ultimate goal of life to pursue while extinguishing aspects that would drain their focus. The lyrics portray Cohn’s songwriting skills quite well, an example being the ability to put the message “Let’s go out with a bang” so flawlessly, for it can be used as a phrase that inspires initiative without fear. Like the acoustic guitar and gentle synth elements that are much more melodious and combine with the raw energy of rock.
Recorded in Los Angeles, Keep Them Away reflects Cohn’s journey toward a more organic and live-instrument-driven sound. Inspired by grunge legends like Pearl Jam and modern rock influences such as U2, this single is both nostalgic and fresh. It’s clear that the song’s genesis came from a deep introspection about how external noise can impact mental well-being. Eddie Cohn’s passion for storytelling, both musically and lyrically, makes Keep Them Away an anthem for anyone seeking to reclaim their focus and joy. Whether you’re a fan of classic rock or looking for modern tunes with meaning, this track deserves a spot on your playlist.
