Paul Minnich releases latest single Pull Me Through
By Alan Shipston for Country Music News International Magazine
Pull Me Through, with its country bop feel is rooted in “life with grit, heart and scuffed boots.” Paul Minnich, The Lawn Chair Poet, is back with a new single that pulls you in from the first line and doesn’t let go. The guitar driven song doesn’t waste time easing into a story of tension between the singer and his lover as his head and heart argue in opposite directions. Minnich’s voice sits front and center as he sings,
Oh no there’s the look
God damn now I’m hooked
There goes our first touch
This thing is gonna launch
Minnich has always had a knack for putting listeners right in the moment and Pull Me Through with its solid rhythm section is no exception. Bass and drums drive the tune forward while a clear acoustic guitar defines the simple yet effective musical arrangement. As the band moves into the chorus, electric guitar emphasizes the chords while Paul weaves the timeless story of which way love will take you. You can picture the scene clearly: the lingering glance, the pause before crossing a line, the weight of a decision hanging in the air. Paul shows that push and pull in his vocal delivery, filling the track with honest uncertainty.
You know you’ve been here before
But did you go through that door
I don’t know what to do
Would you please pull me through
Bringing stories to life with a guitar in hand and a heart full of songs, Paul Minnich is a country singer-songwriter with over 20 years of experience weaving tales about life’s joys and sorrows through a lens of hope and haunting melodies. Inspired by a way of life Paul has coined ‘Lawn Chair Livin’, which embodies heartwarming traditions of togetherness, shared with friends and family, often outdoors, drink in hand and almost always with a lawn chair close by. With a voice and style that are both raw and unpolished yet uniquely complete, Minnich crafts heart on your sleeve songs that are unapologetically real.
Paul had a stellar debut year in country music in 2025. He released several singles, landed on Apple Music editorials, Academy of Country Music, Holler Country and more. He is on artist-to-watch lists, including Got Country & Music Update Central. Looking at continued success in 2026, maybe it’s in this song as Paul sings, “All you gotta do is pull me through.”
