Eddie Somera finds truth on new single 'Hanging On'

There’s a certain kind of heartbreak that just quietly erodes everything around it. Eddie Somera captures that feeling with aching clarity on 'Hanging On', a track that feels like standing at the edge of something you know is already gone, yet still hoping it might somehow stay.

From the first few moments, the song wraps itself in a hazy glow, built on guitars that drift and shimmer like light bouncing off late-night waves. The tones feel soaked in atmosphere, blurring the line between what’s real and what’s imagined, which makes perfect emotional sense for a story about being caught between letting go and holding on too tightly.

Somera’s voice sits gently inside that haze, never overreaching, never trying to force emotion, and that’s what makes it so powerful. He sings with the kind of restraint that suggests someone trying not to break down mid-sentence. There’s longing in every phrase, but also a quiet acceptance creeping in around the edges. You can hear the weight of everything left unsaid, the arguments that never happened, and the love that hasn’t quite finished fading.

What really elevates 'Hanging On' is its sense of space. The arrangement breathes, allowing moments of stillness to do as much emotional work as the lyrics. When the track swells in the middle, the guitars take on a wailing, almost human quality. It’s subtle, but it hits hard, especially if you’ve ever been stuck in that painful in-between of not being ready to walk away.

With 'Hanging On', Eddie Somera proves that honesty, when paired with careful, emotionally rich songwriting, can be far more gripping than any polished pop hook. This track sits with you in the sadness, and somehow, that makes everything feel a little more bearable.
