about
Written during a period of isolation in the west of Ireland and recorded on a summery day at Gavin Glass' Orphan Studios in Co. Wexford, Some Other Time, Maybe has a dreamy feel with the band referencing artists like Serge Gainsbourg, Air, Father John Misty, John Grant and Villagers during the process. Ostensibly an ode to idealistic love and great music (the lyrics contain deferential nods towards Leonard Cohen, George Jones, Patsy Cline and Bob Dylan), Some Other Time, Maybe is left musically and lyrically open-ended, echoing the current social landscape of our times.
Producer Gavin Glass (Paul Brady, Villagers, Lisa Hannigan, Hot Sprockets, The Minutes) adds: “I've been a huge fan of Ross for a long time and I've wanted to work with him in the studio for ages. On "Some Other Time, Maybe”, I tried to create an environment around the song that would allow the lyric and vocal to just float. I think he and the band really knocked it out of the park on this performance. It's a Ross Breen people haven't heard before. Really proud to be involved with this one.”
Ross is excited about fans hearing his new sound, evident on Some Other Time, Maybe: “The song and the studio recording came together very easily. The musicians were all relaxed on the day, playing naturally and without inhibition. When the mood is right, the session becomes a real joy and it meant we could achieve the tone we set out for, ending up with something very evocative and atmospheric. I’m really proud of this one and looking forward to seeing how people react to it now.“
I don't want to make sense any more than you do, baby
This country music song is driving me crazy
How long do we keep it on so we can pretend
We didn't already know just how it'll end?
Anybody looking in might think we'd lost our minds
Wilting like two red roses on a vine
Anybody looking in, well, they might recognise
I'd know your words if I was deaf, dumb and blind
Hold on to this gift of mine
Open it up some other time
Some other time, maybe, when you're not weeping
I'm going nowhere, it's here for safe keeping
I like Leonard Cohen and George Jones too
I got a playlist to share with you
Anybody looking in might think we'd lost our minds
Going out walking after midnight
Anybody looking in, well, they might recognise
What we feel when we sing Heart of Mine
Hold on to this gift of mine
Open it up some other time
Hold on to this gift of mine
Open it up some other time
Some other time, maybe
Yeah, some other time.
"Ross A. is an evolutionary jump from his acoustic led singer songwriter days into an artist that lists Beck, Bowie, the
Flaming Lips and Villagers as inspirations. The evidence is as clear as day on his class singles ‘Some Other Time, Maybe’ and ‘Flowing To You, Flowing Through’... it’s a brilliant return."
