PRESS RELEASE:
The Ram’s new single “Cut Loose” is a celebration and remembrance of one of the women who raised him, Sally ODonnell.
ABOUT THIS SONG:
My Latest single, “Cut Loose”, is a dedicated to my Aunt Sally ODonnell, she was a power house. She had a hand in raising myself, my siblings, my cousins, and so many of my friends. She tolerated zero bullshit, and had a heart of gold.
The music of “Cut Loose” was first written close to 20 years ago with different lyrics. I revisited the lyrics after receiving the devastating news that my aunt died, and music provided a fitting way to come to terms with both what happened and what she meant to me. She was as much a mother to me as my own mother. I hope she smiles when she hears this song played, the same way she’d smile at my childhood antics. I was lucky to have her in my life.
LYRICS
She always loved him without question
She cut’em loose for him to find his way
Everything inside, the good in his life
Part of her thats still alive today
Her love built an institution
Her touch was just a healing hand of grace
When he was looking for a just a little inspiration
All he had to do is say her name
Chorus | Hear her calling… She told him kick on back and cut loose
Ain’t no use in talking
When you know what you gotta do
Talking is procrastination
You got to kick on back and cut loose
He set out for the Pacific Ocean
Nothing gonna get in his way
So exicted ‘bout the destination
Forgot about the one that stayed
He’d always thought she’d live forever
Kept him working towards a better place
Everything done with the sole intention
To share with her, then the news came
Chorus | Hear her calling…
Ain’t no use in talking
When you know what you gotta do
Talking is procrastination
You got to kick on back and cut loose
It’s been so many years
He lost count some time ago
All the faces and places
Melt like the late snow
Been away from town for so many years
They hardly recognized his face
Take him back down Mississippi River
Take him back, to his mamma’s place
