In his heart-wrenching new single, Ram Dass navigates his anger and grief after the death of his newborn son.
Indie singer-songwriter Ram Dass releases his new single ‘Niagara’ on the 8th of July. This song expresses the overwhelming grief and mourning that he faced after the loss of his newborn son. After his son passed due to a rare genetic condition, Ram Dass allowed his emotions a place to escape and flow through him with the chilling lyrics accompanied by icy strings and flowing guitars. From the first breath of music, the gentle yet powerful exhale sets the tone for the engulfing grief and sadness shared throughout ‘Niagara.’ In the lyrics, “Won’t you take all my troubles to the sea,” you can feel him surrendering while allowing a space to be acknowledged and secure. A father’s love in the midst of loss is felt throughout the song.
“This song is a plea for help, declaring to The Universe/God, or whatever you want to call it that what happened was too much to bear.” -Ram Dass
