Eddie Cohn – “Stop Waving the Gun”

Eddie Cohn’s “Stop Waving the Gun” is a soulful cri de coeur to take action against America’s gun culture. Released on November 8th, 2024, this powerful track shows the great capabilities of Eddie as a musician, he handles vocals, guitar, and even percussion, while collaborations are made by Brett Farkas on electric guitar and Philip Peterson on strings. The song takes aboard influences of rock from the likes of Pearl Jam and U2 but cuts a niche for its hauntingly beautiful lyrics and a rock-solid musical backbone. Eddie’s frustration is palpable as he challenges listeners to consider the human cost of gun violence, turning this track from a song into a statement.

Oh, how I adore how Eddie uses his music to bring change, he so tastefully and effortlessly merges emotional lyrics with dynamic arrangements. The result is this thought-provoking yet action-inspiring track. Such a breath of fresh air, when the weighty subjects are taken in by an artist so graciously and intensely.
