RYAN shares his newest song, "Summer Nights," a very emotional way to honor friendship, loss, and the memories that stay with us. The song was released on the first anniversary of his best friend Keaton's death. This song is a heartfelt reflection on the type of friendship that goes beyond just enjoying music.
RYAN, who is from Seattle and plays multiple instruments, sings, writes songs, and produces music, gives "Summer Nights" a personal touch. Right from the start, when you hear the first strums of the guitar, you can feel the deep emotions RYAN experienced and the thankfulness he thinks as he looks back on the summers he spent with Keaton. The song was written during the lonely times of the pandemic, and it captures the feeling of those quiet moments that we often overlook in our busy lives.
What makes "Summer Nights" special is that Keaton, new to writing songs, contributed to the lyrics. He wrote the entire second verse, adding a personal touch to the track. Listening to the music feels like a conversation between two friends, a way for their creative partnership to live even though Keaton is no longer with us.
The accompanying music video is a powerful addition to 'Summer Nights.' It features old footage of RYAN and Keaton and offers a poignant glimpse into their bond. The carefully selected visuals to match the song's intimate feeling enhance the viewer's emotional experience, making the song even more impactful.
"Summer Nights" is more than just a tribute. It's a reminder that love, friendship, and creativity continue to exist in the songs we write and the memories we cherish. With this release, RYAN wants listeners to share his sadness and celebration of a well-lived life.
'Summer Nights' is a hauntingly beautiful tribute that lingers in your mind long after the music stops. Its emotional depth and personal touch make it a powerful reminder of the enduring nature of love, friendship, and creativity.
