Paul Gehl’s new single hits you with the kind of guitar-driven rock that’s been missing from too many playlists lately. This Luxembourg musician does everything himself, and honestly, it works. You can tell he grew up listening to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin because the riffs have that same backbone, but he’s not trying to be them. He’s doing his own thing with it.

The song talks about how we need to actually live our lives right now, not later, it’s a straightforward message, and Paul doesn’t dress it up in complicated language. He just says it how it is, with guitars that move between warm analog tones and sharper digital sounds. Recording alone in his home studio in Luxembourg City, he’s managed to create something that sounds way bigger than you’d expect.

If you’re tired of overproduced tracks that all sound the same, give this a listen. Paul clearly knows his way around a guitar, and he’s not afraid to let the instruments do the talking. Make sure you follow Paul Gehl online, where he shares updates about his music and recording adventures.
