Do It Yourself Alternative
Since receiving his first guitar at age 12 (a 1965 Silvertone) Ryan has been writing and playing music for his personal enjoyment for more than 30 years. After years of putting his music on assorted cassettes (and a 8 year layoff to take care of career and kids) Ryan put Pro Tools on an old computer in the back bedroom and began writing, playing and recording music again. It's a life-long hobby for him. Ryan plays guitar, bass and keyboards and uses a drum machine for the beats.

Story behind the song
I came up with the the beginning of the first verse years ago. I stumbled across it looking through a notebook and decided to finish the song. It's structure was inspired by McCartney's Don't Let it Bring You Down from the London Town album.
Lyrics
Your Memory Lives On Your memory lives on like shadows from the dawn of the night that always passed me by Your face lingers on in my mind far gone as I think of our long lost goodbye You stand at the end of an untravelled road I took a turn and never looked back Like a lost chapter of an unfinished book Gathering dust sitting in the stacks Good and great Love and Hate In my head, in my heart, in my mind Your memory lives on like shadows of the dawn from the night that always passed me by I believe in the power of living When forgiving just isn’t enough Looking back on the time we were wasting Holding the cards trying to bluff I believe in the power of living When forgiving just isn’t enough Looking back on the time we were wasting Holding the cards trying to bluff There’s love that still burns like the sun in the sky Leading back to a place in the west Still running the race Standing in one place Make one move and you’ll lose the contest Why’d you lock the door, never knew before How quickly that time passes by I stand here today, don’t know what to say Everything’s just a b;;link of an eye Good and great Love and Hate In my head, in my heart, in my mind There’s love that still burns like the sun in the sky Leading back to a place in the west Your memory lives on like shadows from the dawn of the night that always passed me by Your face lingers on in my mind far gone as I think of our long lost goodbye Good and great Love and Hate In my head, in my heart, in my mind Your memory lives on like shadows from the dawn of the night that always passed me by
