Ryan Wright - Over the Phone

Copied!

Over the phone
She doesn't know
He's wasted in his tiny bedroom
She's on the road
Driving alone and
Thinking of her someone's bad route
But when she hits ninety-five
All she can see are his eyes in the skyline
And nobody said it was easy
Giving it all to some guy

He lives in pain
And he'll never say how much he needs her just to kill it
She's far away
High and awake and
Somehow she's the goddamn villain

Sometimes he'll call late at night
She wipes her tears from her eyes and fake smiles
And nobody said it was easy
Giving it all to some guy

I was supposed to be fine
Why does it feel like I've died
A hundred times
And nobody said it was easy
Falling in love with some guy
Nobody said (nobody said)
Nobody said (nobody said)
Nobody said (nobody said) it was easy
Nobody said (nobody said)
Nobody said (nobody said)
Nobody said (nobody said) it was easy

Biography

edit bio

Virginia-based singer/songwriter/producer Ryan Wright creates songs that don’t make sense on paper — an ethereal voice singing angsty lyrics over confectionary synth-driven hooks. Her lyrics — at times profane, often tongue-in-cheek, occasionally devastating — reveal a searing wit and a sensitive heart. Her arresting voice embodies the kind of teenage heartache that is deeply personal and yet universal and timeless. Her influences range from the classic (The Cars, Roy Orbison, The Smiths) to the current (The Killers, The 1975, Lana Del Ray) to the local musicians she grew up playing with alongside her dad. Her indie dream-pop has been compared to Lorde, Lennon Stella and The Japanese House. Her undeniably relatable lyrics and dreamy production take the mundane — everything from friend drama to being ghosted by boys to dealing with anxiety — and transform it into the sublime. Wright confides, “My songs are essentially my bottled-up emotions all being poured out in a way that makes them sound surreal. I wanted to make these very relatable experiences sound unfamiliar and strange — almost like listening to a soundtrack from an alternate reality.”
