Sounds Like
The first collection by MRVSS is utterly human; it muscles and floats through a very lucid Rock Nroll without pause or filler for all 11 tracks as if it were a Scorcese film for the ears. The mood of the record insists that the beauty in living is found in the fight to persevere against all that discount or betray you; and that the struggles inside the classic themes of living should be met with a square chin while reaching on tip-toes for heaven.

AND THEN PICK ANOTHER SONG FROM MATTHEW RYAN'S OTHER ALBUMS
We thought it would be cool to make the visual part of MRVSS interactive. We'd love it if you took pictures inspired by the songs and uploaded them here. Of course the pictures are still yours and we won't use them in any other fashion. But I know many of you are artists as well. I was hoping you would upload them to the player below and help to create a visual community of sorts for the songs on MRVSS. One selected winner will be winning hand written and autographed lyrics to a Matthew Ryan song of their choice.

Matthew Ryan Vs The Silver State
Jane, I Still Feel The Same - New Song and Video
I was using my video camera to record versions of this song since my studio was in disarray. And in my usual accidental tourist way, I realized that I could use the video as well. So, this is my kitchen and stairs and fake flowers in a perpetual state of autumn.
Closing In - Track 10 From Matthew Ryan Vs The Silver State - In Stores NOW!
Hey man, looks like you going to be pretty busy. Hope you have a great weekend! Sorry about the molestation of your guitar case last week... (i saw those photos)...lol
We enjoyed a fine set Monday night by your pal Jeff Klein in support of Ed Harcourt. He finished by tacking on a few lines from "Caged Bird" onto "I'm Sorry Sweet Emily".
You are a huge inspiration to young songwriters pursuing theiir dreams. John Carter Cash produced our new record at his cabin...please check us out on myspace. Thanks Matthew-- George and Dave
