Great mix, great song. Incredible how you did all of this by yourself. Congratulations. What's the instrument with that synth sound? You know, the small one with circles instead of piano keys and with the knobs in front of the circles.
I'm very glad I found you! I love your songs and your overall sound. I have watched all your original songs (at work hah). I'm also a musician, and I completely respect what you are creating. Keep making this beautiful music for the world!
This is really superb, and it just highlights the quality that you can find on youtube. Great songwriting in terms of melody and harmony, great use of the videosong format, and a great mix too. Fantastic.
Wonderful Ryan. Mix is great, playing is tight, lyrics are heartfelt. Face review: Love singing face and backup face, LOVE drum face, but guitar face and tambourine can definitely go. :)
my new favorite song! I have awakened several of the past few days with this song in my head. I found Ryan thru Jack Conte/Pomplamoose a while back and have stayed!
I never buy music, and I'm very impatient with obtaining new music when I hear it. Rather than stealing your music, however, I've been waiting since last week for money to transfer to my Paypal so I can buy your album on Bandcamp because I think you deserve (at least) my ten dollars. Good luck with everything.
HOLY CRAP DUDE! Wow, such a great job. The other comments said it dude; this song has everything. Plus this is your best video yet! I love what you did with the color. I hope you sell a million copies.
@houmller Hey thanks! I recorded drums with 4 mics: SM 57 on the snare, Audix D6 on the kick, and a Neumann TLM 103 and Beyerdynamic m103 in an xy pattern about 3 ft above the kick drum. The overheads are hard panned away from each other, the other two mics are in the middle. The kick drum in the beginning was recorded separately with just the TLM 103 about 18 inches back from the resonant head.
All of your songs are so good and addicting! I don't know how many times I've hit the replay button for this song! Really, your music is just so good.
It's so amazing how people can make such good music at home... this is pure talent.
ps. It would be really cool if you could make a vlog video or a video of you just talking. I see many youtube artists do that and it's fun to watch because you can get to know them better... sort of. anyways, thanks for your awesome music Ryan. !!
dude. this is your best yet. so simple - the mix is CLEAR, FAT, RAW, ALIVE. hooky as shit melody, bk vox are fun, free, i just love this one. it's your best for sure. MORE LIKE THIS!! also, to everyone reading this comment: is it just me, or are Ryan's mixes as good as any major label record you hear nowadays? put melody and the chords and all that aside (his is better than most anyway), i'm just talking about the mix. to my ears it sounds like it competes with any major label mix!
@ashwalk85 - that's the thing! hearing people like Ryan just confirms that it's all about your EARS. i've been to Ryan's studio - he's got some nice gear but in the end it's a converted bedroom - he treated the hell out of it with padding, bought a good mic, a consumer pro tools rig, and the rest is his EARS. it's all about what it sounds like. nothing along the way really matters as much!
@jackcontemusic That was my impression when I first listened to the album (folks, go buy the album!), the songs are very well written and performed and catchy as all hell. And on top of all that, the mix just totally grabbed my attention, I can't put into words what it is, it just sounds so... GOOD!
@jackcontemusic What mic is that? Can you tell? I'm looking for something that will make my tenor voice sound full and fat, but still crisp. Any recommendations?
@jackcontemusic I'd say better than a major label mix. You can tell he put his heart and soul into this mix. Ryan reminds me every day why it is I don't listen to the radio anymore :)
@jackcontemusic You're right on about that. This song is so cool in a straightforward sense. It's not like it breaks barriers or creates something totally new, but it mixes the best of many styles to create something unique. It's something done before, and it's something done very VERY well.
I love it - it's perfect! Ryan, your music is a reference for how it should be done - to write, arrange and record a perfect song with a perfect video! Bravo from Europe!
chords??? :)
