Eric Church Honors His Fans In New Song “Through My Ray-Bans”
Eric Church has continued his steady release of new music, releasing the new song "Through My Ray-Bans" on Friday. The mid-tempo, piano-backed song is a celebration of live shows, with Church describing how he sees the thousands of fans that come to his concerts through the lenses of his signature Ray-Ban aviators.
"Everybody's got their arms around everybody else's shoulders," he sings. "Guarding against the world outside / like an army of Friday night soldiers / The battle wages tomorrow / But tonight we've got a drink in our hand / Wish you could stay the way I see you through my Ray-Bans." Church wrote "Through My Ray-Bans" with Barry Dean and Luke Laird, and Church shared on Instagram that the song was written in honor of Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival fans.
The North Carolina native first teased the song in April at the end of a spoken word piece titled "Who Will Answer the Call?" The defiant piece was a message of hope from Church to his fans in which he declared that live shows will someday return and when they do, the crowds will be "deafening."
"Where there once were roars, now there are just echoes. The handshakes and the hugs of yore are now too dangerous," he began as concert footage played. "But I don’t believe in fear, I don’t believe in panic. I don’t believe in all this complexity. This damn virus has any idea what it’s up against: the American resolve: steeled by the world, steadied by faith, calmed by song, healed by prayer. Oh, I believe, damn right, I believe."
