Eric Kane offers raw, unfiltered truth on grief with “Over and Over”

LISTEN IN HERE

With his new single Over and Over, singer-songwriter Eric Kane opens a door into the quiet, aching center of grief. It is a song that does not rush, does not flinch, and does not attempt to soften the sharp edges of loss. Instead, it stands in the stillness—sparse, haunting, and utterly sincere—drawing its strength not from resolution, but from recognition.

Written about the death of his brother, Over and Over is Kane’s most vulnerable release to date. Built on unadorned instrumentation and a voice that feels more like a whisper than a declaration, the track captures the way grief loops back on itself—its rhythms unpredictable, its presence inescapable. There is no arc toward healing here. Instead, Kane remains with the ache, allowing it to breathe, to speak, to simply exist.

“This song comes from the deepest part of me,” Kane shares. “It marks a ten-year journey of trying to understand how grief permanently alters a life. Losing my brother—my other half—changed me forever. But in that pain, I’ve found purpose through connection.”

The connection is clear in every note. Kane’s delivery is quiet, but never small. There’s a trembling intensity that builds not through volume, but through emotional clarity. The lyrics are spare, the production restrained, yet the feeling is immense. There are no metaphors to hide behind, no ornate phrases to soften the impact. Just truth. Just loss. Just love that hasn’t found a place to land.

Where his debut single Leave It All Behind traced a path through survival and transformation, Over and Over uncovers the reason he keeps going. His brother’s memory is not just a subject—it is the source. Every lyric and breath is touched by that presence, and the track becomes less a performance than a ritual of remembrance.

Together, the two singles form a conversation—between endurance and heartbreak, between staying and leaving, between who we were before loss and who we become after. They offer a glimpse into Kane’s upcoming EP, a collection that promises to explore the many forms grief can take. It will be a project steeped in stark honesty, quiet power, and a desire to connect with others carrying invisible weight.

Based in Western Canada, Kane has steadily carved out a following through self-booked tours and emotionally charged live performances that create a shared space for catharsis. His songs draw comparisons to artists like Dermot Kennedy and City & Colour, but his voice—both literal and lyrical—carries its own gravity. What sets Kane apart is not just his sound, but his unwavering commitment to telling the truth, even when that truth is painful.

“Sharing my story has not only helped me heal,” he says, “it’s allowed me to connect with others who are carrying the same weight. This song is for anyone who’s felt that kind of loss, and for those of us still here, trying to find our way.”

Over and Over does not attempt to tie grief into a lesson or a moral. It does not promise closure or uplift. And in that refusal, it offers something rare—honesty. The kind that recognizes sorrow not as a detour, but as part of the road itself. Kane is not afraid to name the emptiness. He is not afraid to sing from within it.

In the end, Over and Over becomes more than a song. It becomes a space—one where sadness is allowed to stay. One where love continues, even in silence. One where music does not try to fix what hurts, but sits beside it, gently, and says, I see you. Give a listen to the stunning new release out now.
