Matthew Ryan

Matthew Ryan (born Ryan Webb; November 7, 1971) is an American alternative country singer-songwriter. Ryan has also collaborated with Neilson Hubbard to form the band Strays Don't Sleep. Ryan's voice has been described as a "hushed rasp, with words catching like vows destined to be broken - one of modern music's most potent whispers." Like the Jayhawks, Son Volt and other artists from the late 1990s alternative country scene, Ryan has a dedicated following but only limited commercial success. more »

Every time I watch the news
I hear a symphony
Every time you cough up a noose
I hear a symphony

Late at night when the shots are like bells
I hear a symphony
When disillusioned is a fragrance that sells
I hear a symphony

You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone

In the subway of a slow dark pain
I hear a symphony
In the eyes of an old Polish woman on that train
I hear a symphony

In the echo of a muscle that fled
I hear a symphony
In the sheets of a big and haunted bed
I hear a symphony

You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone

From the seagulls at the garbage dump
I hear a symphony
At the Ritz Carlton Sanitarium
I hear a symphony

In the bunting of corruption and fate
I hear a symphony
In a language that shows your age
I hear a symphony

You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone

In the sparkle of a young girl's eye
In the exclusive footage of a suicide
In the ambition of astronauts
In this Eden of tinsel and rot

You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
