One of the things we talk about the most in this band is how we can\u2019t imagine being on this crazy ride alone. We have each other to celebrate the highs and get through the challenges with. It\u2019s one of the best parts of being a BAND,\u201d Ramsey said.<\/p>\n<p>The lyrics could be taken either way. The opening lyrics about <em>flyin\u2019 solo for so long, nobody\u2019s singin\u2019 the harmony\/Up there just me and my shadow, bass, no guitar, no tambourine<\/em> could be about romantic love or it could be about finding the perfect guys to share the stage with. It\u2019s kind of a blessed ambiguity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure, you can make music alone,\u201d Ramsey added. \u201cBut if you find people you have a chemistry with, a whole new world opens up. I think it\u2019s the same with life and love. You can go it alone. But sometimes there is another person out there that adds something to your \u2018music\u2019 that you would have never had on your own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the show you want to take on the road. That\u2019s what this song is about.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">One Man Band is the first true love song we&#8217;ve released &amp; it means a lot to have it be our next single.
