    Hi! My names Ryan F Parr and I like to write songs in the spirit of grace and truth. Thank you so much for listening and possibly even buying my Ep, it means the world to me.

    I know most EPs are not 10.00 but I also know what I put into this record and I believe it is valued as it should be. This is a real record, real drums, real bass, real guitars, no autotune, real work... not top lining and no sampling... I am very proud of this record for what it is... I am in the process of producing more songs, so please feel free to follow me on Patreon at The Ryde.... or go to my Ryder RoundUp smart link www.solo.to/theryde for everything else!

    I have all my songs just waiting for more production and my Ryder Record Label has been busy! Truth is, if your willing to buy my EP then you deserve what I offer my Patrons... literally everything I have, or will have, for just $1 a month; thats over 70 downloadable songs and exclusive content from 24 years of songwriting... At least go and check it out! You can totally follow me for free too!

    Also, be aware that Apple won't allow you to download Bandcamp purchases straight to an IOS, you have to download if from your computer first then its real easy to just drag it into ITunes...

    Also, if you want to pay more for the Ep to add a bit more support just use the "Name Your Price" button... No pressure at all just letting you know you can if you want to!

    I am so excited to meet another possible Ryder!!! LOVE MY RYDERS!!!! One love, ❤️🔥🎼 ryan

Sore Eyes 03:51
Sore Eyes its funny how you think you know its funny how we can take these blows youd think by now we’d know the ropes but time and time and time again its like your wrestling with a freind like your cold and caving in like your folding and running Hey sight for sore eyes, arent you listening the thought of leavings tearing me to pieces Hey sight for sore eyes werent you leaving me anyway isnt that the way it always goes ive kicked the stones ive fought the wind been chilled to bone and caught up in the cold alone and the cripplin the burned and burning its not a game that i like to play its not a flame its fire and rage i guess i should accept this fate run this fated race Hey sight for sore eyes, arent you listening the thought of leavings tearing me to pieces Hey sight for sore eyes werent you leaving me anyway isnt that the way it always goes but burning souls do collide, like a running landslide and beautiful surprise

Ride The Wave Shall i stay near the water shall i play where they can see me shall i brave against the slaughter shall i change what made you find me just ride the wave cause you caught one just ride the wave cause you caught one shall i stand above the sinking sand shall i swim away from the dry land out in the dark and the cold treading and sweating against the violent storm betting it all just ride the wave cause you caught one just ride the wave cause you caught one

Worlds Apart 02:34
i see you come and go playing in the day and in the night you are not left alone, im holding you with all my might just because that world is cold, dont mean we have no light you can cry im by your side, im by your side all the time and ill forever love you and ill forever watch over your heart and i wont live you stranded even when we’re worlds apart I sneaked a peak inside your furtures are so damn bright i can be your shining knight though my bodys been cast aside i know its hard to hear cause youd rather have me there but theres something burning deep inside this fire is for you and ill forever love you and ill forever watch over your heart and i wont live you stranded even when we’re worlds apart

The Spark 03:26
The Spark I dont think im just a singer of songs, this is my heart pouring out all along you may not hear me now but you’ll hear me when im gone. thats just the nature of the beast, still i go on and on just battling the rise of hypocrisy... in me cause if you really dont look hard you will see me gentle, frail and weak out of these ashes i still play my part ....in the spark and in my eyes is a little of dark id wish it were not so, but id be lying maybe behind them if you look hard, you will see.... that i think i am just playing my part im not perfect but i know love is perfecting and we’re all just playin our parts.... in the spark

This Wild Love i just want you safe from harm i just want you pasted in lovin arms sheltered through the flames and the thorns and the radiating storms if you really want to know the truth, i think id rather go before you and i cannot explain this conveluted brain and i cant leave this place without this pain so is this breath of air enough or have i lost my bout with this wilid love im just a man with a little touch its hard sometimes to believe what we’ve giving up but if i have the child still up if i never tire of wakinin him up then something can be seen in us and in this wild love seasons crashin down around nothing goin good in this lovin town its not my place to speed the sound its all around everything is safe and sound even though the walls are commin down were bloomin were not bleeding out this is not what we’re all about theres no such thing as giving up in this wild love

about

So, the songs on this Ep were pretty well thought out. I recorded about 18 songs and pulled these out... The Songs were what I really wanted to showcase... I considered calling it This Wild Love, but The Spark had a sort of double meaning as I was sort of hoping for a spark, and I really loved the song itself... it speaks to the heart of creation, the spark that sets it all off, the life, the darkness and the light...Sore Eyes was a song very close to my heart thats sort of an understanding that for some of us, for the time being anyway, being alone is much better than playing with peoples hearts... and those that do play with peoples hearts, they usually wind up a certain way anyway... when your looking for something real just be patient, be hopeful, but try not to be cold and careless with others... it will happen in the right timing... we can always be surprised! Ride The Wave was also a favorite song of mine because it was pretty much autobiographical. Worlds Apart helped me find peace when a friends brother was murdered in his driveway, this is the song he wrote for his loved ones from the other side... and for anyone who ever suffered a hard loss... This Wild Love is one of my all time favorites and has one of my favorite lyrics "we're blooming we're not bleeding out"... I recorded it straight through with no dubs, just me and my fender deluxe and my Gretsch... All songs were recorded in Denver at World Famous Studios by Pete DeBoer. We used all analog processeses... Real drums, Real instruments. I played all the guitars except bass and sang all the vocals and harmonies and we recorded everything to Tape which brings out more warmth... Drums and Bass were done by Jason Sutter from World Famous. I put everything I had into this record... sounds cliche but I did sell my car to help make it and my dad, who's now passed away, matched me on what I put into it... its a very special record for me in so many ways... I hope you love it as much as I do. One Love, ryan
