Sketches for "Taken From the Mourning EP"

V¬ 
Monday, Tuesday, weeks go by
make sure you play “Catch a Falling Star” when I die - denied
under the blankets with broken bones
I’ll trade you in for a watch and a mobile phone - alone.

Pre Ch¬ 
Spinning tunes in the golden glow
you’re a couple of records short of a radio show.
You’ve got a life that ain’t so bad
just sitting around in the sun with my dear old dog 

Ch¬
So how can you be alone?
So how can you be alone?
So how can you be alone?
So how can you be alone?


V¬
I remember the time that you caught my eye
Cider, swings and a kiss that kept me up all night
2 years, 4 years, 6, 8, 10
love more and more than I did back then

Do My Best

This was written by Lewis Ryan & Andy Taylor, The very first lineup of what is now The Rolling Down Hills - You could say this was the first ever Rolling Down Hills song.

Rough Demos

Feels Like Jealousy

An acoustic side project of The Rolling Down Hills Members Lewis Ryan and Dalgas Klein.

Lewis Ryan's Solo material with the accompaniment of the wonderfully talented musician that is Dalgas Klein on Double Bass.

Dal has put Lewis Ryan's songs through his magical musical filters (The DaDa Caldeira) and made them what they should have always been; as they were always imagined when they were written.
 Think Van Morrison's Astral Weeks mixed with Pearl Jam's No Code and your halfway there.
