So what exactly is it that makes “So It Goes…” (ft. John Black & Tim Robbins) such an outstanding effort? Well, it’s simple. The vocals, the strummed guitar and the vivid, beautiful and often hard-hitting words weaved in-between.

Ralph Puma doesn’t need much else to make this track shine, although there are a few more subtle instrumental embellishments, and an explosive middle section, where the intensity reaches an apex. Perhaps the most important feature of this song, however, is Ralph’s lyrics, heart-wrenchingly honest, starkly powerful and filled with vivid imagery and moving words.

“So It Goes…” (ft. John Black & Tim Robbins) is a track that packs an emotional punch, with a storyline that is sure to pluck at your heartstrings and leave you thinking and feeling. Ralph Puma’s evocative lyrics, paired with the stripped-back sound, create a powerful and moving listening experience.

Having said all that, Ralph’s greatest instrument has always been his voice, and this new single does nothing to change that.
