(The Syndicate) Husband-and-wife duo Johnnyswim (Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano Ramirez) release "Break My Heart (A Song For The Lodge)" today, marking the second of five new tracks from the deluxe edition of their acclaimed fifth studio album When The War Is Over, arriving October 3.
Following last week's lush, dreamlike "Sweet Tangerine," the new song finds the duo reflecting on transient beauty. "Last year we went on a trip to a lodge in Idaho and I daydreamed about a heartbroken cowboy," shares Abner. "The song started as his story, but really it's about the beautiful moments in life. Even when they end, even when they're taken from you, they don't lose their beauty-because at least you had them, held them, felt them... for a little while."
The deluxe edition expands When The War Is Over LP with five new songs, including co-writes with Anthony Ramos, who also appears on the yet-to-be released "Stranger," further deepening the project's blend of Americana, folk rock, blues, and soul.
In conjunction with today's news, Johnnyswim also announced a run of December Christmas shows. Looking ahead, the duo will perform aboard the inaugural Moon River At Sea Sixthman cruise, sailing November 11-15, 2026 from Miami, FL to Nassau, Bahamas on Norwegian Jewel, alongside Old Crow Medicine Show, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Mat Kearney, Mon Rovîa, The Lone Bellow and more.
JOHNNYSWIM - Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano Ramirez - craft an expansive, emotionally resonant sound that merges storytelling and soul. With the forthcoming deluxe edition of When The War Is Over (out October 3), the duo continues to evolve while staying true to the hearts-on-sleeves songwriting that has earned them a devoted audience.
