12:33 This moment is probably the daily reality for 99% of producers 😂

7:29 girls like you - maroon 5 ? hmmm in every hit there is another hit

there should be a Netflix special dedicated to all the clips of people casually namedropping celebs that they have on speed dial

You're an amazing artist Ryan. Thank you for your contribution to the music industry

It's interesting how as a songwriter I got into this pattern of structuring my songs, writing the most dumb and catchy chorus and writing what I felt like would become a hit song or song that would please people, and I did right some bangers songs (from what people that came to see my shows told me), but in the end I completely lost sight of who I was. And felt like after that I was sticked with one genre and that I needed on keeping writing the same kind of songs to keep this facade. Now I listen to people like kacey musgraves or listen to what bruce sprinsteen and great other legends have to say about songwriting tips on youtube and it really helps me bringing back my essence. Music shouldn't be about wishing that other people are gonna like your songs. it isn't called art for nothing.

Ryan's a treasure w/ his notes so this is bliss!

Five minutes in, best lyric writing advice I've ever heard.

Great video! Loved seeing this process

Thank you Ryan for your music!

This is my favorite videos EVER for songwriting. I feel like I'm in the studio with my engineer (Florian Ammon - Pink, Quincy Jones, Rammstein). What's striking to me is that this song has a REGGAE feel (emphasis on the 2 and the 4 via guitar up stroke) on a pop or country song! Ha, ha! Love it! And I'm sitting here saying "Yes" and "No" and mumbling a possible lyric like I'm editing with you. :D lol How you work and observing your instincts validates my own decisions and instincts I make in the studio - I just hear what needs to be done or what could be better or what doesn't work - so thank you. I GET you. It's been a blast, Ryan. :) Would LUV to see more of this type of songwriting session video.

Thanks so much for this fantastic tutorial! Many thanks Ryan!!! 👊

I’d pitch this one to Train. 100%.

Here after cowboy carter release!!! Queen B and MC killing it!!! Ryan WE LOVE YOU

Get em!! I'm guilty of piecing things together, they make sense to me but may not read the best.

Thanks for allowing us to see inside the process of such a great mind. I usually start my songs with a concept or title, then lyrics, then music to match it. I'm going to try again to come up with music 1st, then a Lyric. Variety is the spice of life.

I did this course and highly recommend it.

Fascinating to see his brain at work

Ryan is so dope! This is inspiring!

There are a lot of great thoughts here and it's really cool to watch your process and explanation.
