Jarrod Ross – Another Reason: New Song Of The Day

Alt indie-rock singer-songwriter Jarrod Ross delivers euphonious second single ‘Another Reason’, off his up-coming debut solo album set for release later this year.

Here’s the blurb:

Former guitarist/front man for Auckland rock band Valedictions and bass player for the acclaimed Flying Nun signed indie-rockers Pan Am, ‘Another Reason’ is the third release from Jarrod since embarking on his solo project.

Diverting from the rock ‘n’ roll he’s known for, this time Ross demonstrates another dimension of his musical ability with acoustic guitar, piano, and vocal harmonies shaping the song into a classy slice of reflective indie folk-pop.

Penned and meticulously crafted in Jarrod’s home studio, the drums are once again provided by Barry Blackler who also mixed and mastered the track, with Ross crediting Blacklers’ experience and intuitive ability to hear what’s between the layers, in bringing more of the emotive feels to the music.

A shimmering melodic song of layered harmonies, acoustic guitar, emotive piano, and rolling percussive drums, ‘Another Reason’ is a track imbued with a strong Celtic soul that offers a warm glow of optimism that despite the indecision, all will be fine.

A reflectively honest deep dig, ‘Another Reason’ is a gently introspective examination of personal doubt and uncertainty, an anthem for those who have stood at crossroads weighing up the options, and looking for a sign to move them forward.

Evoking a sense of yearning for solace, Ross sings “Every day I wake again, wishing I was sleeping in”, ‘Another Reason’ is a heartfelt tune that speaks to the internal struggles and conflicting thoughts that permeate the human experience of dealing with life’s complexities.

Connection to the listener is immediate thanks to the honesty of the lyrics as he continues “then I take a look outside, while I settle on another place to hide.”

A prolific and clever songwriter with a keen sense of melody, writing and recording music is Ross’ craft and his passion as he continues on his solo musical journey. Keep an ear out for the new album later in 2023.

Another Reason – Lyrics

Every day I wake again, wishing I was sleeping in

Then I take a look outside, while I settle on another place to hide

You know, you know the feeling

It’ll come to you right now.

Because I got another reason

Why I can do it tonight

I’m waiting on a season, to know it’s right

I’ll get back to it tonight

There goes opportunity, that one wasn’t right for me

Think I’ll walk around instead and analyse the voices in my head

You know, you know the feeling

It’ll come to you right now.

Because I got another reason

Why I can do it tonight

I’m waiting on a season, to know it’s right

I’ll get back to it tonight

Because I got another reason

Why I can do it tonight

I’m waiting on a season, to know it’s right

I’ll get back to it tonight
