The new single Unbound by The Ram is a song that takes you far away from the chaos. It’s an extraordinary mix of country, rock, and jazz that grabs you right from the start and doesn’t let go. There’s something about it… something real. It’s a song for those who know that roads can go on forever, but each one leads to a place where, at last, you feel at home.

But what struck me the most about Unbound wasn’t even the sound—it was the story. Seriously, how often do you hear that a song started with a crackly video recorded on a broken iPhone? This one did. As the artist himself said, it began as an improvisation. But calling it “improvisation” is only half the truth because, in The Ram’s world, accidents don’t exist. He takes the imperfect, the unpolished—things most people would toss aside—and makes them shine.

I can picture him sitting in some dimly lit room in the middle of the pandemic, just strumming his guitar while the world outside crumbled. It’s raw, real, and that’s exactly what makes it special. He wasn’t even trying to create a masterpiece; he was simply capturing something that already existed.

The Ram—hmm, I’ve been following this artist for a while now, and not once has he felt like someone chasing trends. Even his name feels old-fashioned, like a bar tucked away at the edge of the world. His music is about feeling, memory, and those intangible things you can’t quite grasp with your hands. I wouldn’t call Unbound a perfect song. It doesn’t need to be. It’s a song that stays with you, like an old scar on your wrist that you forget about until your fingers brush against it by accident. And to me, that’s so much more valuable.
