Paul Minnich’s brand has always been built on what he calls “life with grit, heart, and scuffed boots,” and his latest single, “Pull Me Through,” wears that philosophy proudly. The Lawn Chair Poet returns with a country bop that grabs your attention from the first line and refuses to let go.
There’s no slow build or gentle introduction. Minnich drops listeners straight into the story, his voice sitting 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.” In an instant, the tension is set and the stakes are clear.
The song lives in that split second where instinct and logic collide. It captures the moment when you know exactly what you should do, even as your heart pulls you in the opposite direction. Minnich leans into that conflict with a vocal delivery that feels exposed and unsure, especially as he asks, “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.” The line lands less like a traditional chorus and more like a quiet confession, giving the song its emotional core.
Minnich has a gift for placing listeners right inside his stories, and “Pull Me Through” continues that tradition. You can see the lingering look, feel the hesitation, and sense the weight of the decision hanging in the air. It’s country storytelling driven by emotion rather than excess, proof that sometimes the most powerful moments are the ones where nothing has happened yet—but everything is about to.
