Usually, The Ram sounds like a volatile mix of classic country rock — the kind of music you want to listen to on the open road. But in the new single Perpetual Change, that image suddenly falls apart. The Ram opens up, lays himself bare; it’s blues but with a twist, filled with more silence, more space. He steps away from his usual directness, hiding his essence within layers of sound.

When I listen to Perpetual Change by The Ram, I feel that this track is a personal confession, something he wouldn’t have put weight on at another age or stage in life. There’s none of that concert energy here, like in his other songs — just him, his thoughts, and, it seems, his fleeting time. Perpetual Change is an intimate conversation, rarely spoken aloud, one that demands the inner calm we often reach only with time.

The Ram has a desire to capture a moment. To me, Perpetual Change sounds like an attempt to catch the elusive, to translate into music what words can’t quite hold. Here, he lets himself simply be, not as “The Ram, the musician,” but as a person reflecting on what slips away and what remains.

The Ram keeps surprising us — an artist full of surprises, always pushing past the expected. His music is constantly evolving, layered like life itself, capturing different shades of mood, from bluesy confessions to vibrant, sparkling sounds. Perpetual Change is yet another testament to his ability to discover something new, unafraid to lead listeners into the unexplored corners of his thoughts. And that’s the beauty of it — with The Ram, you never know what to expect, and that’s exactly what makes his music truly captivating.
