At a Distance (Still using laptop mic)

I don’t wanna have to worry what you do when im not there

I don’t wanna be the one who’s nagging at you

I wanna be the one who’s keeping tune

with you- singing every song that you love

speaking every word that you need to hear

Telling every truth that I know

Still though Im unsure if you love me so

So I beg and I howl

Oh I hope you wouldn’t do me wrong

Everyone I love wants to take what I own

All I have left is the portion of my heart

I gave you the other half

and its so far away from me now

Its sending me signals 

Warnings- telling me take it back

So I kick and I scream

In my sleep when Im away

so deep in my existence

So aware but at a distance

Me pretending to record the song Im about to upload while its exporting so the tumblr experience feels more authentic!

All I Ever Wanted

IF we could see the future babe

We’d be rolling laughing around

If we could see the future babe

We be sleeping easy 

If I we could see the future

I wouldn’t be so sensitive

If we could see the future

You could dry your tired eyes

Ive gotta young mind

Making mistakes

Oh how could I ever lose you

You were made in my image

You were all I ever wanted

If we could unsee the past

You’ve got a young heart

I hope it can take it

Oh how could I set it off beat

Driving you mad driving wedges

between us, when you were I wanted

Me (Ryan) singing a song I wrote way back and then tailing off into half of a Bahamas cover.

If anyone has a lighting rig for my next video Im sure it would spice things up!

Anonymous asked: Hey man, what do you use to process your vocals? I think its really wickid. Is there any place I'd be able to download your music?

I used a program called Ableton!  I dont know if you live around here but I could record a few songs with you if youd like.

Im going to set up a torrent soon when I release my album.  For now I could send you a zip file?

The Biggest Lie (Elliott Smith Cover)

Took some time tonight to visit one of my favourite songs.

If You Only Knew

Just kind of went at this one from scratch when I got home from work today.

To Your Kingdom

Playing Violin with headphones on a track that is loaded with effects is dangerous.

Best Friends  

Im changing my music thing’s name to Heat Wave.  Just so its known.

Folded Up and Ready to Roam

If I let you flow down like the paper in the river

in the shape of a boat folded up and ready to roam

Would you ride those currents forever I mean really  give her

or Would you ever you come back to tell cause Id wanna know

I heard theres people making more than money and biding time

I heard they wear feathers in the hair- hunt like they used to do

Would you sign up with them and forget about these  hazel eyes

start another life and never ever realize 

I want you back at home

I want you back again
