Gotta Get Away is John Deering’s Single Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
John Deering’s “Gotta Get Away” opens with a sparse piano line and layered vocals that set an unstable, almost psychedelic atmosphere.
Gotta Get Away is John Deering’s Single Out Now
There’s something eerie and meditative in those first moments, as if the track is inviting you to hover just above the wreckage of a world torn by conflict.
The mood is haunting, and the chord progression—unexpected and slightly off-kilter—evokes the creative fearlessness of acts like Crash Test Dummies. It’s music with a pulse, one that seems to beat in sync with distant memories and quiet unrest.
But this isn’t a song that stays in one place. At around the 2:15 mark, the track shifts gears dramatically. Suddenly, there’s a groove—a fuzzy, strutting energy that channels the spirit of classic rock. The drums punch harder, the guitar struts with confidence, and Deering’s delivery carries a renewed sense of urgency.
It’s a move that recalls the swagger of early Rolling Stones, filtered through the lens of someone who’s spent time in the margins, observing and feeling before reacting.
Hints of Lenny Kravitz peek through in the texture, especially in the way the vocals are layered and how the rhythm section locks in. You’re no longer drifting over ruins; now you’re walking through them, shoulders back, heart open. The contrasts in this track—dreamlike tension giving way to grounded drive—make it unpredictable and deeply human.
John Deering shows he’s not interested in trends or expectations. This song feels instinctive, free, and carved from real experience. And because of that, it stays with you.
