About “Sometimes All” & Music Video
“Sometimes All” is the Yin to “You Make Me Crazy’s” Yang. It’s a harsh world out there—a life-altering event could occur at a moment’s notice. A health scare forced Ron to confront his mortality—leaving him feeling shaken, lost, and alone. During his recovery, he was forced to confront a lot more, looking inward to find answers to questions about spirituality and abandonment. At its core, “Sometimes All” speaks to the profound truth that “Sometimes all you got left is God.” Singing softly, Ron bears his soul, while the gentle instrumentation and steady beat infuse the track with a wistful, melancholic atmosphere. Ron doesn’t know where to go from here. Yet, there’s a glimmer of hope that shines through. Sometimes a sliver of light, a guiding hand, or in this case, a “tiny whisper” is enough to push forward. A soulful chorus lifts the weight of his struggle—the one word that captures the power and glory of God—“Hallelujah.”
While “You Make Me Crazy” is a display of signature Brunkiness, “Sometimes All” takes an unexpected turn, offering a fresh perspective on our vibrant planet. The striking imagery is breathtaking, following a lone astronaut wandering through desolate, lonely landscapes with a touch of late-60s trippiness. These places are hauntingly familiar, yet, something’s not quite right. As he drifts over Earth with his satellite and spaceship, surrounded only by endless stretches of arid land, but no other wanderers, the video raises the question of what—or who—is out there. Perhaps beyond the emptiness lies towering forests and fields of blooming flowers, yet to be discovered. What does that have to do with “hanging by a thread at the mercy of God?” Well, that’s for viewers to ponder, as visions of swaying flowers and setting suns linger in their minds long after the final note fades.
About “You Make Me Crazy” & Music Video
“You Make Me Crazy” is an electrifying ode to primal passion—an immersive plunge into what Ron calls “joyful dying.” Falling into a deeply passionate love affair can feel intoxicating, addicting, and paralyzing. The narrator is swept into the rip current of his lover—and he surrenders willingly, reveling in the glorious wreckage. A prime example of the sultry, shadowy atmosphere featured on the album Zero Hour, the song brings a slew of wicked fantasies to life. Ron is the perfect guide—his grumbling vocals are delectably eerie, laced with darkness and an acerbic edge. By the end, everything unravels—the piano chords and electric guitar melody spiral into a cacophony of uninhibited, unhinged chaos. But that’s exactly what makes it so exhilarating.
As an artist, Ron is no stranger to thinking outside of the box. The self-edited “You Make Me Crazy” music video embodies his signature spirit—only this time, he juxtaposes emotive movement with a compelling personal performance. In side-by-side shots, lucky viewers witness his star power firsthand, as he dances over the keys and tells his tale, while an expressive dancer twists, kicks, and twirls, overtaken by desire. The visuals escalate the supernatural elements—this amorous romance takes over every fiber of her being, every thought, chasing her through the night. But it’s not until Ron locks eyes with the audience that the song fully derails. He’s thrillingly unnerved—crazed—and poised to take a bite.
