Ram Dass’ new EP “The Unimaginable” shares the beauty of falling apart

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. – With his last EP, ‘And Now He Has Wings’ on the current Grammy® ballot and his songs going viral across Instagram Reels and TikTok, Ram Dass releases ‘The Unimaginable,’ an EP that offers hope in times of strife. With an acoustic guitar and small backing band of drums, bass, violins, and cellos, he reaches out in the universal language of song with a deep understanding of the challenges of being human.

Confronting the loss of his newborn son, Ram Dass, a longtime music producer-turned singer-songwriter walks through the stages of grief and loss in ‘The Unimaginable’ as he seeks to find solace, peace, and happiness amidst heavy turmoil. Humanity itself is held in this music as the tragedy of mortality is mourned with exquisite and cinematic soundscapes and is at once comforted through simple three part vocal harmony and sincere words offering the listener to trust in the unknown. Lyrically and sonically poetic, this EP is a balm to the broken heart.

“It was this whole falling apart of my life, essentially,” says Ram Dass, “and suddenly I had space to actually have my feelings and grieve. It was years after my son was born and passed, but last year was kind of the first time that I was actually able to grieve on my own. And so the timing for all of this music made sense - it's cathartic and I feel I have something important to say.’
