Ryan, I think I’ve found my new workout video! This song just makes me want to go out and run. Music and sports are a great combo and very inspirational. I could definitely hear this being played before a school soccer or football game, blasting from the speakers.

Just wanted to let you know that when I’m sad and feeling like life has beaten me down, I always listen to Ryan Star. Your music IS inspirational, which is one of the things I love about it. It gives me hope and makes me feel like anything is possible. Music brings out all kinds of emotion, and I love the feelings your music gives me. Thank you.

Ryan, This year would not have been amazing if I did not find your music. Your songs have made this so-so year bearable. Even those song on your list have place too. But mostly due to you’re optimism and live in the moment attitude has been so inspirational. This could be the year for you my friend. You are a star. You deserve it! THIS COULD BE THE YEAR! – love always, Amanda from Long Island, NY

“This Could Be the Year” is my personal anthem for the new year. I actually just wrote my first novel (a lifelong dream) and it was very much inspired by your songs. Thanks for the inspiration!
P.S. Great song list. Muse’s “Uprising” is amazing.

Awesome read! I didn’t think Paramore’s “Looking Up” was getting enough love – it’s awesome to see it on this list. I totally agree – I put it up there with “Right Now” as really great hype songs (”Right Now” is totally the best though)!

Beautiful words, Ryan. I am so thrilled to find you blogging here. Your songs are always a source of inspiration. Thanks for sharing your playlist. I can’t wait to listen to the songs that aren’t familiar to me. Enjoy your snowboard adventure!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Ryan Star – have met him 3 times. Each time he makes you feel like he knows exactly who you are and are really interested in what you’re saying – even though you’re probably blathering like an idiot. He’s an amazingly talented singer/songwriter/performer – can’t wait for 11:59. “Right Now” makes me feel like flying Ryan.

Ryan is probably the best solo artist I’ve heard in the last few years. I bought his first CD (songs from the eye of an elephant) when I was still living in Brazil, my home country. I became addicted to the album. Now, the same thing is happening with the new album. You gotta come to Texas again, man, so I have a chance to see you!! Wish you all the best.

Thank you for sharing your playlist with us. I will definitely check it out=D In March, I was introduced to you and your music. You are such a bright, shining “Star”…you have been quite an inspiration to me!! This year was truly the worst year of my life…no question about it. I lost my Mom to Liver Cancer in July. As if that wasn’t enough, exactly a week later, I lost my dear friend (my 2nd Mom)…so, I lost 2 Mom’s in a week. “Breathe” came into my life at the perfect time. That song has so much meaning to me…it’s unbelievable! Right now, “Breathe” could be the soundtrack to my life. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with the world, Ryan! Keep it up! Your music is touching/changing lives. This WILL be the year…I can feel it!!!! I am extremely proud and excited for you!! I hope to see you out on the road in 2010, my friend!! I wish you all the happiness in the new year!! “Get used to looking up…”;) The sky is the limit! All love! http://www.breathe4jobs.com P.S Have a wonderful time out West…be careful! Don’t break any teeth while snowboarding;P

Speaking of listening to music at the gym, your tunes are definitely some of my favorites when I work out. Uplifting music, I tell you. I always feel better after listening to them. Excellent work, Ryan. Can’t wait for 11:59!!!

Thanks for sharing this list, Ryan. I especially like the Muse and Paramore songs. Some of the others I’m not familiar with, but I will check them out. Enjoy your time off. I look forward to your other blogs and to 11:59 being released. See you soon, I hope.
