♫💿 “Please (Studio)” SONG RELEASE - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 2025
The incredible studio recording of Ryno’s oldest song “Please” will release on September 21st, 2025. Ryno poured his heart and soul into the making of this song.
In the history of Ryno’s music recording, NOTHING COMES CLOSE to sounding anything like this track. It’s simply incredible.
“Please (Studio)”
This recording is a masterpiece. You can learn more about this song’s rich history, listen to a podcast, and receive new posts (when available) about this song by clicking, here.
a boxer brief history…
Please is Ryno’s oldest song. It is unlike any of his other songs. This studio recording mutated over time into something unimaginable. It underwent a “Jeff Lynne” post-production makeover—the chords, structure, harmonies, and instrumentation changed radically over time.
Consisting of just a few words and 4 chords, this song is deceptively simple—yet boasts incredible depth and nuance. The options have doors that lead to more interesting options. These were continually explored, making this song complex experience of a simple song that Ryno has ever created.
Production: The original drum tracks were compiled in April of 2023, along with a heap of other drum tracks at the same time. A live performance version of this song was released 2024, along with a video.
The studio version sat in wait all this time. Something about it didn’t feel right. In November of 2024, Ryno began to re-imagine this song with new chords, lyrical combinations, and instrumentation. J. Walter Hawkes provided the Intro trombone pads and exhilarating “Harrumphs” you hear in the first 2 verses.
Listen and enjoy this constantly evolving luxurious tapestry of sound.
Performers:
J. Walter Hawkes - Trombone & Bass Trombone
