Ryan Elliott Rogers's Album

Deeper Than Black

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 Cat Is a Dog To A Bird

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?

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

Sometimes you are angriest at the one you love most. This is a song about fighting back against the rage; overcoming the emotion. But it is never easy. It seems every time you have a huge argument with your partner, a bit of the relationship decays away.

This is a great song for parties and weddings. I take 80% responsibility if you do not like this song.

Black Heart

A song about fighting on, when you have no fight left. Which is helpful in boxing movies and life in general.

Nostradamus Famous Cherry Jam

Knock Out!

Man vs Nature; Man vs Self; Ali v Frazier; Verses vs. Together; Pearl Jam 1993; Cowboys v. Lions, noon kickoff; ABC vs CBS vs NBC; left hand vs right hand

It's a story song. Based on the Story of Harry Truman (not that one) and Mount Saint Helens blowing up. It is an interesting story if you hear it. 

The real story of this song is that it is the mysteries of life, the strange and unexplainable, give us hope that there is something beyond this life. We deify the gaps in understanding. It is also about, wow, who knows, maybe God is in the Gaps after al.

Eli and The Mountain

Country and Loops, Baby

My Grandpappy told me that DeeJay's win Cowgirls by playing the big hits. This song was inspired by a trip to Denver. I wrote part of it in French, because saying it in English would be too embarrassing to me personally and the human race as a whole. France, which is of course French for Franc, who I actually knew

DJ's Always Give Cowgirls The Blues

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

Misery Business

Dead Language

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

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

Ryan's Next!

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

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

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

I like this song because it has a "X" in the title, like Citizen Kaxe". You could say that this song is about catching her in the act...yes YOU! 

It's yet another Ryan song about food. Emotional Food

Listen or we riot.........grrrrrrrrrrrrrl

Are You Anxious?

This here is a story song!! 

Winter is a cold month, I am tired of my cold toes. I miss samurai. Is the plural of samurai, still samurai? Wild, just wild. 

Vienna '13

Sometimes I get sad. Like when I am sick. Cough Cough. Would you be happy with a NIT Basketball Championship? Madison Square Garden can be nice in May. So they say. Last time I was in New York, my father was nearly crushed by a taxi.

When The River Drank The Dream

No comment. I will let the important message of this monumental achievement to humanity, perhaps only rivaled by the wheel, or placing a man on the moon, speak for itself. Nay, I say, Nay. Grammy? Pulitzer? People's Sexiest Man Alive? Keep your silly certificates. My reward is all the people (who are not bots) who definitely are not bots who listen to my music.  

What If It's You?

Avarice Starr Rides Due West

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?
