“Restless Heart” Marks Christopher Fulmer’s Solo Comeback

“Restless Heart” Marks Christopher Fulmer’s Solo Comeback

Little Rock, Arkansas, might be known for its southern charm, but it’s also home to some seriously talented musicians—like Amy Lee and Ben Moody from Evanescence. Adding to that list is Christopher Fulmer, a hometown artist with a knack for turning life’s messier emotions into raw, relatable music. Known as the frontman for the hard rock band “Stays In Vegas,” Fulmer has stepped back into the solo spotlight with his new track, Restless Heart. It’s his first solo release since 2019, and honestly? It was worth the wait.

Restless Heart is everything you want in a song when you’re feeling a little lost. It’s about love slipping away right in front of you, leaving you clinging to whatever hope you can find. Fulmer’s vocals hit just right, blending emotion with grit, and paired with an open, haunting guitar riff, the whole thing feels like it’s wrapping you in the kind of comfort only music can offer. You know, the “I’ve been there too” kind.

The track’s lyrics tell a story that a lot of us can relate to. “Restless hearts might wanna say / Doesn’t matter anyway / What might make me want to stay / The hope of you and I someday,” Fulmer sings in the chorus, hitting on the bittersweet combination of holding on and letting go. The way the verses flow into the swelling chorus gives the song a push-and-pull energy, like it’s caught between heartbreak and hope. That vibe carries through the whole track, making it both cathartic and uplifting in its own way.

Here’s the cool backstory: Fulmer didn’t even set out to write Restless Heart. It was born during a rehearsal session for his band Stays In Vegas while working on another track. It started as a random riff in the same tuning (Open D, for the gearheads out there), and within 15 minutes, the whole song just clicked. He was reconnecting with an old girlfriend at the time, and the lyrics practically wrote themselves, capturing that mix of nostalgia and unresolved feelings. It’s one of those songs that feels deeply personal but also broad enough to hit home for anyone who’s been in a similar spot.

Fulmer has a way of making his music feel raw but not overly complicated. The production on Restless Heart is simple but powerful—it doesn’t need big bells and whistles to get its point across. The guitar work is melodic and emotive, the vocals sit perfectly in the mix, and the pacing keeps you hooked from start to finish. It’s a song that feels equally at home on a late-night playlist or cranked up in the car during one of those “thinking about life” drives.

And let’s not forget this track is just the beginning. Fulmer’s working on his second solo album, “Vicodin Tears,” which he plans to drop in the summer of 2025. And if Restless Heart is any indication, we’re in for an album packed with emotional gut-punches and introspective rock vibes. Fulmer’s even hinted at releasing a couple of songs ahead of the album to tide fans over, which—yes, please.

The takeaway from Restless Heart? For Fulmer, it’s all about connection. He hopes the song helps listeners feel seen, maybe even a little less alone. “I just hope they connect with the emotion and lyrics and find a way for it to fit their life,” he says. It’s music that doesn’t just sit in the background – it invites you in, reminds you that someone else gets it, and leaves you feeling a little more hopeful than before.

As the last notes of Restless Heart fade out, it makes you wonder: What moments are worth holding onto? What would you say to someone if you had one more chance? Maybe that’s what makes this song so special—it doesn’t give you the answers. Instead, it leaves space for you to fill in your own story. Give Restless Heart a listen, and let it remind you that, even in the hardest moments, hope can still shine through.
