A Ryan Loewe Creative Pursuit

For Emma (Bon Iver Cover)

For Emma by ryanloewe

Another Bon Iver cover that’s been sitting in my “archives”. I’ll have something new and original up soon.



The Blood or The False Reformation (Original Demo)

Lonely, Wicked, Loved and Warm

I’m not good at talking
Or mending up the tears
The time that I am biding
With a lonely wicked stare

The shadows fight for freedom
You’re a prisoner of war
And everything you’ve worried
I’ve worried twice before

And the birth that’s overtaken
The steering wrecks the fate
Put the love we have for loving
In a safe and arid place

The clothes we’re occupying
Silhouettes that swell
Making us look bigger
Than the world we’d have to fill

A cold front is moving
It’s pressing underneath
The covers that are warming
The color of our feet

Everything you’ve run from
Is locked inside a drawer
And everything you’ve worried
I’ve worried twice before



Flume (Bon Iver Cover)

Lovin’s for Fools (Sarah Siskind Cover)

Lovins for fools by ryanloewe

Recorded this a couple months ago and forgot about it. Originally by Sarah Siskind. Heard Justin Vernon’s cover of it first. So it’s kind of a cover of a cover.



When it pours, it rains

I had plans last weekend. The blueprints were sketched on the back of my hand. They lacked finesse and brilliance and better resembled a set list for an open mic at a local dive. They weren’t very detailed, but they didn’t need to be. All I required was a little acumen for getting the most out of these next few days.
