Jeremy Ryans Rock Vibes

This song was written at a time in my life when I was going through allot. I was having one of the days where my memories from the past was causing me to feel down in myself and my life.

My Fairytale

I wrote this song for my wife over 20yrs ago before we reconnected. We were living states away from each other but spoke on the phone every night for months until I made the decision to finally move out to where she lived to start a new life together. The song describes the feelings I was going through during that time before reconnecting with her.

In My Mind

This song was written years ago at a time in my life when I was tired of holding on to the self doubt I had about myself or the outside “Noise” from people who didn’t believe in me. It was a message to myself of finally letting go of people’s opinions. It also expressed how I was reflecting on myself and how I just “didn’t care anymore”. I was just wanting to let it all go.

Mist and Shadows

Verse 1
They built their towers out of broken backs,
Fed the fire while they hid the facts.
We paved the roads, we wired the veins,
They took the gold and left the chains.

We wake at dawn to keep their lights on,
While they’re asleep in their tax-free dawn.
But the ground is shifting, the cracks run deep—
The hands that built won’t stay asleep.

Pre-Chorus
We are the rhythm they can’t contain,
The pulse in the power line, screaming in the rain.

Chorus
We are the hands that built the empire,
Now we’re takin’ it back, set the world on fire.
From the steel and the dust, from the sweat and the flame,
We rise as one—remember our name.
The hands that built the empire—
Now we break the frame.

Verse 2
They sold the dream for a paper throne,
Left us fighting just to own a home.
But every paycheck, every night we grind,
We forge the blade they’ll feel in time.

They call us small, they call us weak,
But we’re the storm they’ll never see.
No lobby gold, no TV spin—
Just blood and truth beneath our skin.

Pre-Chorus
We are the rhythm they can’t contain,
The thunder beneath their private plane.

Chorus
We are the hands that built the empire,
Now we’re takin’ it back, set the world on fire.
From the steel and the dust, from the sweat and the flame,
We rise as one—remember our name.
The hands that built the empire—
Now we break the frame.

Bridge (spoken, over quiet drums and feedback)
They thought we’d beg.
They thought we’d kneel.
But this time—
We bring the real.

(Drums explode back in)

Bridge (sung)
No kings, no crowns, no chains of gold,
No lies to buy what can’t be sold.
We built the dream, now we reclaim—
Our blood, our work, our name.

Final Chorus (bigger, layered vocals)
We are the hands that built the empire,
Now we’re takin’ it back, set the world on fire.
From the streets to the stars, from the rust to the rain,
We rise as one—unchained.
The hands that built the empire—
Now we break the frame.

Outro (fading feedback, faint voice over static)
You can’t own the people forever.

The Hands That Built the Empire

Stay with You

“Silver Lines and Satellite Dreams” is a fast-paced jazz-rock fusion anthem that captures the humor, hustle, and heart of chasing meaning in a world wired for noise. With soaring guitars, rolling bass, cinematic strings, and a touch of Joe Walsh swagger, the track fuses jazz improvisation with arena-rock energy. It’s witty, soulful, and unstoppable — a midnight drive through neon reflections, where every wrong turn still hits the groove.

🔥 Genre: Jazz-Rock Fusion

Why Pt. 2

Jeremy Ryan Martin is a solo rock artist with a sound forged through raw emotion, real-life struggle, and years of hands-on experience in the underground music scene. His passion for music began at 13, when he formed his first band with middle school friends in the early ’90s. By 17, he was already writing original songs and fronting local rock groups, honing his voice and presence on stage.

Throughout his 20s and 30s, Jeremy played in several rock-driven projects, spending countless hours in recording studios learning the craft of mixing and production from seasoned audio engineers and musicians. A self-taught songwriter shaped by hardship, he grew up with a single mom and younger brother, often turning to his guitar as a way to cope and make sense of life.

Jeremy draws inspiration from the gritty rock legends he grew up on—Metallica, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Candlebox, and other icons of the late ’80s and early ’90s. While those influences echo through his music, it’s his unique voice and deeply personal songwriting that set him apart. Every track he creates is a reflection of resilience, struggle, and healing.

“I love to play my guitar and write songs, but there’s no better feeling than seeing someone else connect with what I’ve created.” – Jeremy Ryan Martin
