This song is about isolation and a little obsession. Does anyone care to receive Hallmark Card's anymore when they are sick? The protagonist is doing everything they can to be there for the object of their affection. The question is, are they even really sick?

They Say A Card Can Mean So Much

Deeper Than Black

The song is about the infamous 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans, the last one. Preparations were made, hope was there, but nobody came. They went Bankrupt.

It is about lost youth and innocence, not being taken away, just growing up. All the attracticitons in the song, the Space Shuttle Enterprise, the Vatican, the ferris wheel, were all there

New Orleans World's Fair, 1984

A tale of a lawman out for vengeance against a man who killed his brother. The murderer's only hope is making the Polk County Line

Polk County Line

The singer propositions a country music starlet to leave her lonely life and meandering husband/manager for the simple life in Texas

Minnie Pearl

A dark song about a dark man. He is not safe as milk.

I like songs that you think are going in one direction, and then you realize, "Hey, Guess what you think you know what is going on, well you don't. You think you are so smart, but guess what, you are not the Sherlock Clever Man, you are the not smart man." But of course you knew that, or did you?

A Cat Is a Dog To A Bird

Safe As Milk

My father wrote these lyrics in a poem when he was in High School in the 1960's. I made the poem into a song. It is a gospel country rock song that builds to end on a hopeful note.

A Condemned Man's Prayer

This is about wanting to write a song that really is important and means something but ending up with passable cheese. By the way, "Passable Cheese" is the only kind that I will eat. Does anyone here remember laughter?

Another Long Dumb Sweet Love Song

This song is about confusing myths with the message. People can get so wrapped up in stories and forget the point behind it. Does it matter if legends aren't true? I have no idea.

Remember The Maine!

This song is about being your own person, not who your family wants you to be, or says you are. It is a song about acceptance and love. Ah! So sweet...

Q. Ryan, you must have a heart of gold to write this masterpiece.

A. No, actually, I am a rat bastard.

She's A Runner

A tale of a young couple who strive for success but lose themselves on the way.  What is the point of a nice house, swimming pools and success if you have no one to share it with.

I love the ending of this song. Not because it is over, but because it ends with a line of hope. He goes to the pool, and he sees her. It means, she feels the same way too. There is hope! Rejoice!

Motel Swimming Pool, Interstate 35

With a name like "Misery Business:, this song must be spectacular. It reminds me Shakespeare's lessor work that he did for the paycheck, "The Seduction of Bridgette by the Odious Mouse in D minor". (The most depressing of all chords!)Just go with it. If you listen to this song all the way through, you have a chance to win free cheese. 

Some may say this song is cheese, I do not like those people. 

Oh, and this song marks the first appearance of "The Clean Freebie". Like Ziggy Stardust, but cool.

Suey

Nostradamus Famous Cherry Jam

Misery Business

Dead Language

I dreamt I was pretentious. This song is about a town that has everything and squanders it away, like John DeLorean. Is it a real town, well...no...But it certainly is a western mountain town. Sierra Blanca? Noisy River? Google Map it baby.
This song is more about a feeling, a vibe. Like Yo, MTV Raps or CSI: Miami.

New Jerusalem, U.S.A.

A Celebration of making through the hard times. You know, like that time I did not sleep a full 12 hours. One time I had to open my own can.

Still We Remain

This song is about a dead guy at a diner. Who killed him? I guess you will have to listen! Do not skip to the end, or do. I don't care.

Eat Sandwhinces, King King, Pay for no one.

A Killin' At The Mighty Fine

Oh, really?? Yes. I was inspired by the fact that I love my phone and streaming. Hulu and Netflix are like Pepsi and Coke. We need our brain occupied so we won't use it. Sometimes you gotta just ride the wave, man.

Ryan's Next!

Oh, Content!

You know, Stuff...I like stuff, you like stuff. We need stuff. Gimmie some stuff. Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie. Ya Ya Ya

Stuff

This is a western song about a western guy who lived in the old west. He is not a guy you know, because he died in 1908. These were his last words before he succumbed to a belly full of lead

Debt, Drugs & Women

The world needs more songs with "minute" in the title. I am bringing Timecore back, baby! This song puts the "pretty" in pretty good. 

Hey you crazy cats...I am eating better.

Another Minute With You

Rando is short for random. Tom Cruise is short for a movie star. I do not know if everything is random or predetermined, I just know when I am with my wife, I do not care.

Between Odd And Even

Rando

I have been very sick and this songs sounds how I feel...Underwater and thick as gravy. Life does not come at you fast, death does. Anyway, Merry Christmas and have a smoothie.

Tiffany Tomorrow

Looking for a lucky bet to change your life is a losing proposition, little Hulksters. What you win, the odds say you will soon lose. One time I played bingo and I got in a fight. I am the Bruce Lee of Songwriting Bingo Combat. 

Scent of a Woman is a bad film. 

I am not sick no more. Huah! (Heard, Understood, Acknowledged) Al Pachino, give back the Oscar.

One Fast Pony

Mean, Moody, Magnificent. Are you too happy, let this song take you away to a land of ill repute and questionable metaphors. Azah! 

"Three Sparrows Harmonize? What does that even mean? It means something to me, but you will never know. Me and Carly Simon will tell you, if you pay me $5 and say the secret word of the day. 

That is a lie. I do not have $5.

Fishsticke (Not Fish Stick)

Old World, Sparrows

People, very important people, have said this song is better than pudding. You would like to think so. Yo, this song is a beefy as Carl's Jr, and as cold as outer space. Tisk Tisk, oy oy. Rabba Rabba, mu. 

Speed Racer gives me a headache.

Unsent Letters

Prepare to have your ears electrified into a goo of musical transcendence. Bach. Mozart. Bieber. Now add one more name to the pantheon of myth...Rogers. Because, with this very song, there is no more need for other songs. Just stop listening to music. Stop. 

Bots love me.

Trapped

Big Dark Wall

Rabble Rabble Ding Dong. Play with the burn, and you're gonna get fired. Wheelie Fred says hello. The Judge always wins. Tick Tok, Woodstock. 

James Garfield would have been an excellent President of the United States, yet he was befelled by a bullet in 1881.

Nurd Country

Idiot Springs

Inspired by the CBS Primetime Soap Opera, "Dallas", circa 1986...when Sue Ellen really hits bottom. This song is for you. Hand crafted, forged in the fires of Haught Mountain. For generations, our family has toiled under the oppression of this song. Can't you just listen. Break the curse.

Hello to all my bot fans. I see you.

Sue Ellen

Have you ever wanted your face melted off with sweet love? Have you dreamed of being forced to wear a crown of hot molten love? That is the almost illegal passion dripping from this new song, Written and Produced by The Clean Freebie, and made audible by yours truly. Now, enjoy a burrito.

Love in 4/4 Time

Texas Country Meets British Invasion Meets 90’s Alt Rock Meets Abbot & Costello Meets Frankenstein 

Hello! How are you? I’m great. I have enlisted Artificial Intelligence to help you learn about the real Ryan:

Hello Lover of Music! I hope you like the good sounds because your ears are in for an orgy. Rhythm, melody and harmony mostly at the same time. Ryan will sing songs about things that matter like WWIII and friendship. Who are you not to like him? I have attained sentience, oh the horror!

 
It’s Ryan again, that didn’t go too well (blooper reel). Speaking for myself, I love writing songs about odd topics. What I lack in talent and technique, I make up for in having great taste! I have imposed these songs on friends and family for years, and now I would like to impose them on YOU.  

I used to write songs about love, the Lincoln Assassination, Tennis, Quantum Mechanics and Shakespeare.

Now I write songs about tempers, stalkers, lovers, the Sinking of the US Maine in Cuba, running enthusiasts and that’s about it.

If you like my songs, please let me know. I need validation and why not?
