Behind the Song:
Ryan Clark:
“In the midst of writing this record, my wife and I had our first child. We named her Ryan after myself. This song is for her.
It’s true what they say: Nothing can truly prepare you for parenthood. It is, on one hand, a simultaneous demand of everything you’ve learned in life – patience, understanding, fear, doubt, trust, faith, sympathy, hope, frustration, joy, etc., and on the other hand, unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
Bringing a child into the world in this day and age can be terrifying. I’ve seen just how much the world has changed since I was young, and it’s easy to be fearful for the years to come. I wrote this song to encourage her, to caution her, and to let her know that I’m always close."
