Romain Gutsy has done it again — but this time, he’s not just tugging at your heartstrings, he’s yanking them straight out of your chest. “Blew My Mind” is the kind of track that doesn’t just stay in your ears — it lingers in your soul like the echo of a long, hard conversation with someone you love and fear losing.
Coming off the heels of “Eloisa”, which was charming and funny in the most romantic way, and “In the Moonlight”, which floated like a slow dance under the stars, “Blew My Mind” takes a sharp left turn. It’s not lighthearted — it’s gut-wrenching. But in the best way possible. It’s the sound of love that’s desperate to save someone spiraling.
Sonically, the track is pure Gutsy. Rich acoustic textures, a gently hypnotic rhythm, and that unmistakable vocal delivery — tender, weary, sincere. There’s a weight in his voice that suggests lived experience, a knowing that only comes from watching someone you care about fall into a darkness you can’t reach. He doesn’t shout. He doesn’t dramatize. He just tells it, and that’s what makes the message cut so deep.
Lyrically, it's clear: this is about someone who got lost — in ego, in excess, in the haze of “making it.” Gutsy sings not with judgment but with compassion, with that quiet desperation of someone who still sees the good in a soul everyone else has written off.
Produced by The Animal Farm Music — who have an amazing track record of lifting up honest, boundary-pushing artists — the production on “Blew My Mind” is understated but potent. There’s a cinematic elegance to it, a folk-pop blend that lets the lyrics breathe while still pulling you into a world that's lush and immersive. It's as if you’re sitting in the room with him, the song playing out like a heart-to-heart conversation over a dimly lit table.

Where many songs about addiction or lost friendships can come off preachy or cliché, “Blew My Mind” hits with subtlety and sincerity. There’s love in every note, even when the lyrics hurt. It’s Gutsy doing what he does best — storytelling with emotional intelligence. He reminds us that sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is simply say the truth with music.
This is Gutsy at his most gutsy (pun fully intended). Vulnerable. Real. And completely unafraid to put emotion before polish. “Blew My Mind” isn’t just a song — it’s a lifeline in the form of folk-pop. If you’ve ever loved someone who lost themselves, or feared someone might, this one’s going to hit you right in the chest.
Grab a pair of headphones, turn it up, and let yourself feel it. Gutsy didn’t write this to be background music — he wrote it to wake someone up. And maybe that someone is you.
