GO HIGHER~ (words & music: Ryan Stone)

Live your life to the fullest, challenge yourself

create positive energy,

be motivated, seek adventure, feel the rush

as your dreams become reality

Go beyond what they could ever do or say

and attempt at the impossible

break through the atmosphere

and tread on with no fear

as the world beneath you disappears

*

GO HIGHER…GO HIGHER go higher everyday.

GO HIGHER…GO HIGHER and make it a lifestyle..

*

Again and again up and up I ascend to the top

I cut through all this misc. noise

So now im gonna put my passion in action

Its time I reaped `the rewards

Go beyond what they could ever do or say

and attempt at the impossible

break through the atmosphere

and tread on with no fear

as the world beneath you disappears

*

A Token of the Wreckage – Megan Slankard

February 2, 2014 — Leave a comment

Lyrics

Well, that’s a wrap, was it half bad? Get me off to bed
I think I’m dying slightly after a day like that

It always starts out dark, sun started to bark, my head stabs like a fork
Nothing much forgiving about the way that we are

And though I’ve got a heart hanging around by the door
I’ve got grace hanging in the mirror
And I’ve got you
I’ve got you
I’ve got you – a little souvenir
A token of the wreckage

We don’t argue; we’re tired of that too. Spoons clink in our soup
World-weary so young; it probably means that we’re doomed

You say nothing to me; in return, I forget how to speak
An admission of defeat
We’re fair game for all who want a piece of our dreams

And I’ve got a heart hanging around by the door
But I’ve got grace hanging in the mirror
And I’ve got you
I’ve got you
I’ve got you – a little souvenir
A token of the wreckage

I might be inclined to say you’re quite the quandary
And I keep thinking, maybe that’s my problem: Just stop thinking
Jump on it, step on it, tread on in, stomp on it
Foolish to believe that I can’t be foolish
My head spins, it won’t stop, I wish it would just shut up, please stop,
Please stop…

Like I said, I’ve got a heart hanging around by the door
I’ve got grace hanging in the mirror
And I’ve got you
I’ve got you
I’ve got you – a little souvenir
A token of the wreckage

50 states of talent……. First stop Miami, Florida and Ryan Stone Music

October 12, 2013 — Leave a comment

I agree, nothaydn, “Why haven’t they been snatched up by a label yet?”!

nothaydn

That’s right we have been heading into some colder weather so I have decided to start my 50 states of talent  in Florida, the Miami area to be geographically correct.  This is where Ryan Stone and his band come in.

Ryan Stone has spent many years fronting various bands in the Miami area before going solo.  Another multi-talented lyricist and musician he chose to play all of the instruments on his first release in 2007.

With their construction guy good looks the current line up is a full band joining many seasoned local musicians: Ozzie Jimenez, Ax Aleman and of course Ryan Stone.

Ryan has a nicely laid out web page and can be found on all the social media outlets, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc. He is definitely an experienced local guy who is quite capable of marketing himself in his part of town.  He has spent the time to put together some…

Ryan Stone Music – Sand-Bar

Sand-Bar ~ Lyrics
*
You know that you’re my life-ring
when the sharks begin to swim
My high tide’s where your shore line begins
So isolate us and anchor my heart down
on our oasis at sunrise
You can have your oceans and I’ll take my sand-bar
and both of us will be fine
*
No doubt, our secrets they’ll never find
Washed out, are the footprints left behind, we left behind
So isolate us and anchor my heart down
on our oasis at sunrise
You can have your oceans and I’ll take my sand-bar
and both of us will be fine
wrapped around your body, I feel no pain
wrapped around your body, with net and chain-
I stake my claim
*
So we’ll protect our nest egg
like a drunk protects his wine
like a mother rubbin’ sunblock on their kid’s b’hind
So what’s the sense of these tireless metaphors
that we’re just running down the sidelines
You can have your oceans and I’ll take my sand-bar
and both of us will be fine….meet me at the sand-bar
*

Ryan Stone Music – FALLEN

Fallen~ Lyrics
*
You blew in like a hurricane with a Miami wind
I fell down
You hit me like a boxer on my glass chin
I went down, for the count
*
Don’t know exactly when I fell from grace
must have been when I kissed your lips
sour apple taste
From your bright eyes a martini glow
down to your painted red toes
*
Don’t look now, cause I’ve fallen
upside down, and back around
So don’t step down, cause I’ve fallen
upside down, and back around
*
Was this all just a mirage
like a coconut island seen thru the fog
As soon as we met we said goodbye
and she rode off with some Harley guy
*
Don’t know exactly when I fell from grace
must have been when I kissed your lips
sour apple taste
From your bright eyes a martini glow
down to your painted red toes
*
Don’t look now, cause I’ve fallen
upside down, and back around
so don’t step down, cause I’ve fallen
upside down, and back around
*
Well the moon aligned with the sun
and all of that jazz
and the one thing that separates us
is the miles
*

NYC, TNBTA, Inspiration and Artistic Expression…

A lovely night for a book launch with Heather Jacks (author), Gaines Coleman, Laura Goldfarb, Keaton Simons, Jason Adamo and 35 NYC Street Buskers at Martin Lawrence Gallery in SoHo!

As if spending an evening with my son Rick, amidst Warhol, Picasso and Chagall wasn’t enough,  the Martin Lawrence Gallery was the stage for The Noise Beneath The Apple, TNBTA , book party celebrating the independent artists performing on the streets and nooks and crannies of NYC. The festivities included an excerpt reading, some live performances and a fun pop-up photo booth from DeckNYC.

The Noise Beneath the Apple is my coveted new coffee table book and so much more! It encompasses that amazing feeling I get when listening to a performer sharing music for the love of music and it was my pleasure to be a part of this amazing scene.  From classical violin to hip hop to tribal baroque, you can find it here. It brings me back to my love affair with New York City, where old world grandeur meets the avant-garde and creativity is king.  The nod to the best…
