Carry Me Away by Eileen Carey: A Country Pop Escapade

Carry Me Away – Country pop, with dirty boots and a clear mind.

There’s a particular rush you feel when you hit play and a new song just lifts you out of your chair. Carry Me Away, Eileen Carey’s new single, did just that. Had me halfway to the kitchen and back, dancing around my coffee mug before the first chorus even settled in.

Eileen sings with honey in her voice – but there’s muscle under all that sweetness. The kind that makes you trust every line. When she sings “I like taking chances. I feel brand new. Can’t lose,” it feels like something she’d whisper to herself in a mirror right before leaping into the unknown.

Yes, this track walks straight into another reality. One a little bolder, a little louder, and a hell of a lot more alive – and the animated video below brings all that to life with disco lights, sass, and a wink:

No One Hands Eileen Carey a Spotlight – She Builds Her Own

Let’s not skim the surface here, Eileen Carey walks with years of real ground behind her. Based in Altadena, California, she’s racked up over 25 career awards. And shared stages with names like Don McLean, Jefferson Starship, and The Motels. That’s legacy material, the kind that makes me look at my own playlist and wonder what I’ve been doing with my life.

She climbed her way up the New Music Weekly and Independent Music Network charts – and held her ground. Tracks like Good Bad Girl and Land with You built her rep for writing pop-country that’s bright and shinning, and built to move. That same energy goes through Carry Me Away, layered over fancy rhythms and guitars with enough drive to keep any road trip unforgettable.

“Carry Me Away” is all about finding that special place to escape and be
in the magic of living the moment.” – Eileen Carey

There’s a West Coast breeze running through her sound – call it what they like, West Coast Pop-Country fits. I’d call it the kind of breeze that makes you roll the window down, even if it’s raining. It’s fresh, empowering, made for movement. And if you’re still sitting, you’re doing it wrong.

“We’ll Make This Night Last”

There’s something magnetic about that line – at least, that’s how it hit me. Even if the world is spinning way too fast, we’ll make this night last. Maybe it’s the way the tempo walks ahead and dares you to keep up.

Or maybe it’s the way Eileen delivers it, and if you ask me – it feels like you choose to dance anyway, even if everything around goes off-kilter.

I’ve lived through enough storms to know the value of a song like this. This song wasn’t made to fix my mess – but it somehow distracted me just long enough to feel human again. It hands you the keys to your own getaway car, and tells you to run before you change your mind.

Carry Me Away is one of those songs that shows up right when you thought you’d heard it all in this life. It turns up the volume and makes space for a new version of you. The one who remembers to dance, even when life’s spinning faster than expected.
