Oh Ross, what can I say about you that would encompass this song and the rest of your work? Hmm…”you’re awesome” seems to fit. I spent a night looking for new music through Amazon.com’s little list of similar albums that come up along side the one you’re actually looking at when Ross popped up. One quick listen of each 30 second track and I was hooked, particularly on today’s song “I Don’t Want To Let You Go.”

Here’s what Wikipedia had to say about Ross:

“Ross Copperman was born on October 1st, 1982 and grew up in Roanoke, Virginia. He attended Glenvar High School in Roanoke County.

Ross started playing the piano at age 3, and started writing songs in college at James Madison University. The first song he wrote is titled “Fly Away”, and it appears on his studio debut album. He says that it was only after the urging of his teacher (who had listened to this song) that he was convinced to take up music professionally.

While in college, Ross opened a show for Phil Vassar in front of a crowd of 5000.[citation needed] After winning a few competitions, Copperman earned a 40-date US college tour.

He toured the US for around a year and tried selling his independent album Believe, and eventually succeeded in doing so with Phonogenic/RCA records.

The first single he released in the UK, As I Choke, managed to be the most popular iTunes Single Of The Week in the UK, notching up 36,457 downloads in a one-week period.

His second single, and the one that made him known was All She Wrote, entered the UK top 40 in May 2007, and was featured in a couple of instances in TV in the USA.

The third single, Found You, was released a few months later.

His debut album, Welcome to Reality, was released on May 28, 2007.

At a recent performance at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota, Ross told his audience that he is currently working on a country album to “get into touch with his roots” and also professed his love for Hannah Montana, saying he loves to jam out to “See You Again.””

I don’t feel the need to explain the theme or any deep meanings of the song, because he puts it out there for you. Enjoy!
