Of all the amazing songs Adele sings, I've always admired this one the most.  Thought I'd take a whack at it!  Hope you like it!  :)

"Break Me Down"
(words and music by Ryan Wotherspoon - Copyright 2014)

God, if you're up there
I need something to save me tonight
Oh, cause God, I've been drowning
And it seems nothing turns out right

So here I am
I'm throwing my hands in the air


Cause it's been too long
Since I've been gone
I've walked away from all I've known
So, come and break me down
It's time I open my heart
Cause I've tried, and tried, and tried again
But I don't want to go on like I've been
Oh, I'm crying out
If you can hear me now
Come and break me down


God, how much longer
Until I feel something more than this
Oh, and God, if I was stronger
I would strip away all the pain within

But I'm out of touch
Oh, I need your love


Cause it's been too long
Since I've been gone
I've walked away from all I've known
So, come and break me down
It's time I open my heart
Cause I've tried, and tried, and tried again
But I don't want to go on like I've been
Oh, I'm crying out
If you can hear me now
Come and break me down


Bridge


I know I'm the one who's standing in my way
That's why I'm reaching up to you tonight to say
Tear down these walls, that I've built inside
I know you can change me
Into what I've tried to hide

Break Me Down

This is a recording I made of my ALL-TIME favorite song.

I took great care in the detail of the arrangement, instruments, vocals, tone, heart, and intensity that ONLY Freddie Mercury had.  He was a vocal wizard.

I hope my vocals, performance, mix and recording do it justice...and I hope you enjoy listening to it.  It was an amazingly fun experience recreating this masterpiece.  

Thanks for listening!

"Somebody To Love" by Ryan Wotherspoon

My cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".  What an honor and privilege it was to study, perform and record all the vocals on this classic, masterful song.  Thank you to Jeff Ervin (electric guitars), Steve Mathews (Bass), and Chris Robinson (drums) for their awesome performances, and meticulous attention to detail.  I hope Freddie, Brian, Roger and John are proud of our work…and I hope you enjoy listening!  :)

"Louder"
(words and music by Ryan Wotherspoon - Copyright 2014 SpoonSongs)

16 lanes across
Still it's just a parking lot
Everyone in a race to go nowhere
And looking up ahead
You can see your exit
But it's gonna be while til you get there

And you're down to your last
Penny, nickel and dime
And then you realize
One day you'll be down
To just seconds left in your life

Ya gotta live a little louder
This is your moment
You gotta let them hear you roar
Shake it like thunder
Fill it with wonder
There's no doubt you will soar
Every second, every minute, every hour
Live a little louder

You go thru the motions
And the motions thru you go
It's a cycle never ending
But all is black or white
In monochromatic lives
When so many more colors could be blending

If you feel your life's subdued
And your volume's set to mute, just crank it up
But only you can decide
So, if you choose to try
Just open up your eyes
Shout it to the skies
You wanna be more than you are

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Bang on a drum
Burn as bright as the sun
Make your heartbeat pound
Like the kick of a gun

Make your heart, your mind
Your soul, your life
You everything just...chorus

Louder

This song has been the benchmark of my singing career.  I've been singing it for over 20 years...thought I'd make a recording of it!  Hope you like it!

Nessun Dorma

A friend asked me to record this for a short film he's shooting...so, why not share it with y'all!  It's always fun to brush off my opera chops now and then!  Hope you like it!

La donna e mobile - (Ryan Wotherspoon - tenor)

Here's a recording I did for my Elder Price audition for the National Tour of The Book Of Mormon.  Fingers still crossed!  :)
