Ryan -
I gotta say I every time I read your blogs I become more and more inspired. This blog was particularly awesome to me because I am a huge sports person, and I always love the idea of music and sports being one. I loved the moments that you picked for 09 and they definitely were on my list as well. Thank you again for taking the time to write these awesome blogs!

You are SO right! Great blog – love reading your thoughts. Right Now is my favorite of all your songs and I LOVE the video. Anytime I need a pick me up or a pump up I either turn on that song or video. It just makes me happy! I’m so glad more of the world is being introduced to you and your music. I was fortunate enough to see you in concert 3 times this past year. You are amazing and so fun to watch. Everyone can tell you put your heart and soul into every minute you are on stage. I can’t wait for 11:59 to be released and for you to headline your own show. I will be online buying a ticket as soon as they are available! Congrats for an amazing year and an even bigger one to come!

So this may be shallow, but I love the literal words to 11:59. It reminds me of good times in the past. Have to think more about my metaphorical 11:59. Thanks for all the great music!

Terrific blog, I think one of my moments was actually going to your concert last week, I told you about how I never went to concerts before the past year, but after listening to you and David Cook online, I wanted to start. Going to this concert was so different than what I usually do and felt so good to do it. I think I found one of the things missing in my life. And as you told me, I’m going to keep on going to more concerts. I may wait until the weather gets better though

I’ve realized my 11:59 is that moment where the music hits you before the singer starts singing. I am at home and at peace when I am at a live concert. It’s an outer body experience that you can share with others. You can not hear the music but feel the music run deep inside you’re body. You forget everything that is negative. Thank you again, Ryan because you have been apart of my 11:59. You have opened my eyes to a new experience. Honestly, where would I be without you?! I have told you in person what your music means to me and I know you understand the impact on my life. Thank you again for this incredible year and can’t wait to have the album!

I’ve followed you for quite some time now. Still can’t wait for a Tokyo gig. I am medic in the military. For the sick and infirmed when I walk the halls late at night, I catch my breath @ 11:59 then exhale as the moment is gargantuan because a patient has made it into the next day to live thier life, maybe to see their loved one when visiting hours start up again, or be enveloped in a hug, or a kiss from their lover. A smile breaks when I walk into their room and it uplifts me…us because we both understand what has just passed.

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow may not come.
I’m gonna run to the horizon,

Ryan, right now is easily one of the best songs ever and i love that you can tie all of your songs together. Like tying 11:59 in with it and getting you in the moment and once again asking you what is your 11:59 and honestly mine changes so much, i dont really know right now. Its just so hard to get in that moment and live right now, in high school. I cant wait to get out and do something. love your blogs Ryan, keep the goodness coming.

I love Right Now. I feel like I want to sing that chorus from the top of a mountain. You rock, sir.
As far as my 11:59, I feel like it’s when I’m on the edge of something great, something amazing and challenging, and it scares me to death but I do it anyway.

Ryan,
my life has been very stressful for the last year. I was always thinking about the future, and never stoping to just live the moment. But then I got to know your songs, and I was touched. Every time I listen to your songs, it reminds me to stop, BREATHE, and live the moment. I still got work to do, but thank you for reminding me.

Ryan, My husband and I are huge fans. I originally saw you in York in March and bought your cd. My husband became hooked instantly as well. We got to see you at Guilifty’s in Harrisburg. One of the best shows ever for us. Please tell me you are going to be posting some headliners this upcoming year.
