Chris Bullinger Seeks Salvation — As He Knows It

The poetic singer-songwriter shares a preview of his LP Waiting To Be Seen Pt. 2.

Chris Bullinger saddles up and sets off in search of redemption in his country-tinged new single and animated video for Salvation As I Know It — showcasing today on Tinnitist.

A preview of the singer-songwriter and guitarist’s upcoming album Waitin’ To Be Seen Part 2, Salvation As I Know It lazily ambles down a dusty roots trail to the gentle strains of a boom-chikka beat, a walking bassline, twangy guitar licks, tinkling piano and swirling organ tones. Over top of this earthy, grounded foundation, Bullinger simultaneously waxes personal, political and philosophical, gently crooning reflective words of wisdom about life, love, loss, regret, renewal and more.

The animated video for the track is a striking blend of artistry and narrative depth. It follows the journey of a cowboy through vivid and evocative vignettes: sitting by a campfire with a postcard reading ‘I Miss You,’ soldiers navigating the chaos of combat, and moments of connection and separation between a man and a woman. The visual storytelling complements the song’s poignant lyrics, which meditate on love, war, and renewal.

“This video captures the heart of what Salvation As I Know It is about,” Bullinger shares. “It’s the fragility and resilience of human connection in a world that often feels like it’s at war with itself. The imagery breathes new life into the song’s message, weaving personal and universal threads into one narrative.”

A standout track from Waitin’ To Be Seen Part 2 (due March 13), Salvation As I Know It continues Bullinger’s tradition of blending Midwest grit with West Coast charm. The song’s dreamy harmonies, playful keys, and introspective lyrics create a soundtrack for quiet moments of reflection, inviting listeners to pause and reconnect.

The trilogy has cemented Bullinger as a compelling voice in modern storytelling, with his ability to weave intricate narratives through sound and lyricism.
