There’s a rare kind of beauty that comes from learning how to let go—a delicate grace that Eddy Mann captures with stunning clarity in his latest single, “Fly, Fly Away.” Released on May 12th as the sixth single from his acclaimed album Turn Up the Divine, the track is a poignant meditation on release, acceptance, and spiritual trust.

In “Fly, Fly Away,” Mann invites listeners into a space of surrender. With soft, soulful vocals over a bed of Country, Christian, and Southern Gospel Rock influences, he delivers a message that feels as timeless as it is timely. Life, after all, is filled with seasons—and knowing when to lovingly release what no longer serves is one of its greatest acts of faith.

The song’s lyrical simplicity is part of its brilliance. Phrases like “Fly away before darkness falls / Fly away to where destiny calls” evoke both the innocence of a lullaby and the wisdom of a seasoned pilgrim. Each stanza reads like a gentle blessing, encouraging the listener—or perhaps a loved one—to spread their wings and soar toward God’s unknown but trustworthy plan.

Eddy Mann has always been a master at weaving spiritual truths into the everyday textures of life. His roots in Philadelphia soul are evident in the warm, resonant tone of his voice, while his gift for Americana storytelling shines in the way “Fly, Fly Away” feels both personal and universal. It’s a song that could comfort a parent sending a child off to college, a friend letting go of a loved one, or anyone facing the bittersweet changes that mark our earthly journeys.

Musically, “Fly, Fly Away” is refreshingly understated. The arrangement leaves space for the message to breathe: a gentle acoustic guitar, a steady rhythmic heartbeat, and tasteful flourishes that hint at Mann’s gospel-rock background without overwhelming the song’s intimate feel. There are no grand climaxes or soaring choruses—only a humble, open-handed offering. It’s this restraint that allows the listener to sit with the song’s emotions, to pray with it, to feel seen in their own moments of letting go.

The accompanying music video (available on YouTube) complements the song’s reflective spirit with simple, heartfelt imagery. It’s a visual prayer—quiet, thoughtful, and full of light—that mirrors Mann’s gift for turning everyday moments into sacred experiences.

In a career spanning more than 20 albums, Eddy Mann has made it his mission to uplift, inspire, and bring light into the world. His songs have topped Christian and Americana charts alike, and yet his heart has remained steady: focused not on accolades but on service. “I’m driven to write, to record, and to perform by the opportunity to bring a smile, a light, or just a moment of reflection into someone’s life,” Mann shares.

“Fly, Fly Away” is a shining example of that mission fulfilled. In a world that often celebrates holding on at all costs, Mann offers a counter-testimony: that there is holiness in release, in trust, and in the quiet hope that God’s hands are strong enough to catch whatever we set free.

For fans of Michael Card, Andrew Peterson, and Fernando Ortega, Eddy Mann’s “Fly, Fly Away” will feel like a familiar and much-needed companion. It’s not just a song to listen to—it’s a song to live by.

As the final notes fade, one can’t help but feel a little lighter, a little braver, and a little more ready to trust the One who calls us all to fly.
