Come Back Down 03:22

I don’t care about money I don’t care about time I don’t care about a thing except for you and I I don’t care about drugs I don’t care about beer I don’t care about much all I need I’ve got right here So don’t walk away, without looking behind ya I’m dying behind this smile I’m waiting for you to turn around and come back down Come back down I promise not to look sideways I’ll never entertain the thought Never take you for granted not once more anymore I’ll try not to stay out late I’ll do my best not to lie Never let a stupid thing ever get between you and I So don’t walk away, without looking behind ya I’m dying behind this smile I’m waiting for you to turn around and come back down Come back down So don’t walk away, without looking behind ya I’m dying behind this smile I’m waiting for you to turn around and come back down Come back down

Black Smoke Fills The Sky 03:33
lyrics

Keep marching on, same soldiers song Cities and the towns, black smoke in the clouds Guns lay still warm, when you get time to call Home from it all, eternal war See when it rise, higher and higher Crying for light when black smoke fills the sky Taken from me, piece after piece Trade dignity, for blood and debris At night when it’s cold, thinking of home Nowhere to go, forward we roll See when it rise, higher and higher Crying for light when black smoke fills the sky Black smoke fills the sky See when it rise, higher and higher Crying for light when black smoke fills the sky Black smoke fills the sky Black smoke fills the sky

Pretty Powder 02:17
lyrics

I felt the feeling, I had that poison in my brain I felt the money, taking all my cares away Took that Melbourne plane straight to the North Strapped that pretty powder to my bones I felt the heat now, I felt that sweat it start to come My eighth trip now, suspicion and a loaded gun Took that Melbourne plane straight to the North Strapped that pretty powder to my bones I’m not here for no moral sermon I’m not gunna philosophize I’m just standing, shaking, in that firing line Took that Melbourne plane straight to the North Strapped that pretty powder to my bones To my bones

Black Skies Blue 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Well you worked so hard to keep my attention I feel sorry ‘cause you never really had it No one likes to feel like their life is waiting Held back, held down and neglected Now I want you so much it’s like a kick in the guts Makes me want to be sick, makes me want to throw up Yeah I know, you can turn those black skies blue From outer space the world looks small From outta this dirt I’m growing tall Yeah this spinning top I spin for you ‘Cause the gravity in your orbit makes me feel like I’m walking on the moon Yeah, I want you so much it’s like a kick in the guts Makes me want to be sick, makes me want to throw up Yeah I know, you can turn those black skies blue Your eyes are green, yeah I’ve seen it When you’re walking down my street, I know You can turn those black skies blue When I’m walking, down by the water And I call, out your name Yeah I know, you’re standing there beside me Holding back the rain I want you so much it’s like a kick in the guts Makes me want to be sick, makes me want to throw up Yeah I know, you can turn those black skies blue Your eyes are green, yeah I’ve seen it When you’re walking down my street I know You can turn those black skies blue

about

Ryan Sterling image

Ryan Sterling Melbourne, Australia

A combination of influences that culminates in a sound that is unique and yet has a familiarity that is appealing. A guitar that can at times sound like three guitars and melodic vocals and harmonica that weave in and out of the guitar lines creating an intriguing sound that gains more depth with each subsequent listen. Ryan's latest album, Specks of Golden Dust is available via Half A Cow ... more
