Setting the tone with an emotive, alternative rock soundscape with a super dimensional and intricate guitar performance, Jeremy Ryan opens My Fairytale with his lived experience and introspective, situational prose. We immediately connect with the raw authenticity and the poetic prowess that Jeremy Ryan shares as he sings, “Welcome to this fairytale of mine…”. The guitar solos are exquisite and his descriptive brand of storytelling is nothing short of hypnotic. Speaking on the release, Jeremy confesses, “This song was written at a time in my life when I felt like everything I had worked for was for nothing. I just wasn’t happy and was looking back on all the hard times I had been through growing up and was feeling really down on myself. Memories of the family & friends I’d lost along the way was weighing heavy on my mind. I just felt alone and lost, almost like I was at a crossroads in my life trying to determine which direction I should go in next.” There is a relatable energy that transmutes, making the song perfect for a Hollywood synch deal – perhaps a movie with similar themes to what Jeremy is sharing with his deep lyricism. Jeremy even says, “I was told this song sounded like a song that would be at the end of an action western movie……like if one cowboy on a horse was watching another cowboy ride off into the sunset.” With reference to the backstory of the recording process, we learn that the song originally had an acoustic rock style with a country rock sound but it was suggested that a clean country acoustic guitar in the song would sound better with a more distorted rock sounding guitar. In addition to singing and writing, Jeremy plays all of the instruments, bar the drums, and mixes and masters his own productions through his label, AvezaRock Publishing! We love the high emotional quotient that Jeremy Ryan shares with My Fairytale, and have added the track to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the star’s growing discography including Smile & Wave, and Spinning Wheel, and anticipate future releases!   https://karlismyunkle.com/2025/06/23/jeremy-ryan-shares-his-soul-and-lived-experience-with-poignant-and-poetic-new-single-my-fairytale/

There’s a strange comfort in calling your personal disaster a fairytale, and Jeremy Ryan’s new single, “My Fairytale,” lives entirely in that conflicted space. This isn’t the storybook of our youth; it’s the grim, dog-eared version one finds in a dusty attic, its moral hopelessly smudged. Ryan sings of a rainbow devoid of its colors, an idea that for a moment made me think of those magnificent old tapestries where the brilliant dyes have surrendered to time, leaving only the ghost of a scene. The song captures that exact feeling: the shape of joy is there, but its essential vibrancy has been drained away. The track is built on a classic rock chassis, but the engine is modern and anxious. The distorted guitar isn’t just backing for the vocal; it’s a character in the drama, a jagged internal monologue arguing with Ryan’s soulful, weary delivery. It’s the sound of a crossroads, not on some dusty Southern highway, but inside the skull, where the “good vs. evil” of our inner child wrestles with the resigned pragmatism of an adult who has seen too much. It feels less like a performance and more like overhearing a difficult conversation someone is having with themself in an empty room. This is a song about the bleak destination we all fear—the one where wishing is no longer a useful exercise. It lingers, not with a catchy hook, but with the quiet weight of its resignation. Ryan has crafted a narrative of accepted desolation, a personal myth where the only ending is the one you’re already in. But is naming your bleak reality a fairytale a form of empowerment, or is it just a more poetic way to surrender?   https://www.musicarenagh.com/my-fairytale-jeremy-ryans-song-of-lost-wishes/
