Ram Dass created a pair of EP’s that journey through the worlds of grief. The first, ‘And Now He Has Wings,’ released last year is on the current Grammy® ballot. Today, Ram Dass releases the second of this pair, ‘The Unimaginable,’ a collection of songs filled with longing and hope. With an acoustic guitar, drums, bass, violins, and cellos, Ram Dass carries you from grief to joy with his unique and intoxicating voice.

Both albums share a different perspective on the challenges Ram Dass faced in confronting the loss of his newborn son. In ‘The Unimaginable’, 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 with the sweetest vocal harmonies and words of encouragement to trust in the unknown. This EP is a balm to the broken heart.

“I think it's important to actually talk about how big of a presence death is in our lives,” says Ram Dass. “It is sort of a taboo subject, as is grief. I encourage people to have their feelings. I encourage them to grieve. It doesn't make you a weaker person, you know, having grief. Having things that are sad is a really important part of life… That is essentially the thesis of this music: ‘If you have your feelings in real time regardless of what those feelings are, that's a path to being a happier person’ …and this music is just a way to help people feel more.”
