Watch: Planet Rami – ‘Never Gonna Come’

Planet Rami is back with his new single ‘Never Gonna Come’, accompanied by a bold and playful music video directed by Tim Swallow.

‘Never Gonna Come’ captures those moments of deep desire and yearning. Speaking on the feelings behind the track, Rami shares “I’ve come to realise that things often have their own paths and reasons for eluding us. Sometimes, all they do is guide us toward a shared essence of what we’re chasing, without actually being the thing itself. Ultimately, its meaning is yours to define. What’s meant for you is already on its way and what isn’t got lost on its way”.

Speaking on the creation and collaboration of the music video, director Tim Swallow shares, “It’s a treat to cross paths with a creative force like Planet Rami. We have an absolute riot dreaming up these delightfully absurd treatments. In Never Gonna Come, Rami befriends ‘Crusty’ the Lobster — a crustacean with more charm than your average crab stick. As they cruise the urban jungle, Crusty unwittingly attracts the attention of our Villain. What the Villain doesn’t realise is that Crusty has a vigilant protector lurking in the wings. When the Villain makes a move, the Hero (both roles masterfully played by Anja Kastowsky) leaps into action, toppling evil with flair. Crusty lives to tell the tale, and Rami commemorates his escape by sending him back to the ocean, where his story began and where freedom truly awaits.”

Planet Rami emerges as the soulful and melancholic brainchild of artist and musician Rami Al-hanbali, guiding you on a journey that gracefully navigates the realms of alternative rock. Originally hailing from the vibrant city of Perth, Rami recently found a new artistic home in the bustling energy of Sydney. Born out of a profound exploration of emotions and introspection, Planet Rami’s music delves into the depths of the human experience. Shaped by his Palestinian heritage and Australian upbringing, Rami’s unique perspective weaves a tapestry of rich, emotive sounds that resonate with listeners.

At the core of Planet Rami’s sonic universe lies a captivating blend of melancholy and soulfulness, creating a musical landscape that is both haunting and comforting.
