Follow Eric Kane
This is probably the most moving song we’ve featured on IMC in eight years. Yes, the emotional level here is intense. We’re talking about a subject no one really prepares for. One you know nothing about until it crashes into your life: grief.
In this new song by Eric Kane, songwriting becomes something else entirely. A way out. A way through. But without losing clarity. Just look at the line that hits hard from the very first verse:
“People say I should move on, the honest truth is written in this song”.
That’s all you need to know. You can already feel the weight of it. This is not really a tribute. It’s ten years of pain held in and finally let out! Because behind this track is a story. Eric lost his brother, and nothing has been the same since.
But it’s not just in the words. The production carries the weight too. The tension builds, slowly, until it breaks wide open in the final minute. And when it does, you feel it. The vocal performance doesn’t try to impress. It just tells the truth. But it tells it so fully that it’s hard to breathe by the time it’s over.
Is it a masterpiece? Yes. Can it bring comfort to those who are still stuck in that silence that follows a loss? Yes. Will this song stay with us, and with IMC, for years to come and become one of our famous “best indie songs ever”? Absolutely.
Eric Kane’s take on “Over and Over”
It comes from the deepest part of me. It marks a ten-year journey of trying to understand how grief permanently alters a life,” Eric shares. “Losing my brother – my other half – changed me forever. But in that pain, I’ve found purpose through connection. Sharing my story has not only helped me heal, 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. It’s also my way of pushing back against the idea that we should stay silent about our grief. If being honest about my experience makes someone else feel less alone, then I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
