RYAN WOODS GOES DEEP WITH NEW SINGLE  “TOO MANY WAYS TO LIVE” — WATCH

Singer/songwriter Ryan Woods continues to deliver songs that will establish him as pop music’s next heart-on-the-sleeve troubadour who siphons influence and inspiration from multiple eras, decades, and styles. Woods isn’t afraid to mix the ’70s with the right now — and the end result is always exhilarating.

Today, Woods has served up the lyric video for his new easy, breezy single “too many ways to live.”

Watch and listen here.

On the track, Woods alternates between the dreamiest falsetto croon and a lazy drawl, which lives amid a generous sprinkle of playful and bouncy beats. The result is smooth like buttah! He’s the TikTok generation’s answer to Harry Styles — effortlessly endearing swagger, infinite style, and undeniable talent.
“too many ways to live” is a swirling pop song, but with a deeply introspective lyrical lean.

 “‘Too Many Ways to Live’ is a song about the beautiful, chaotic pressure of possibility. I wrote it during a time when everything felt wide open and uncertain, and I kept imagining a hundred different versions of myself but couldn’t commit to any of them,” the singer shares. “We grow up hearing, ‘You can be anything you want,’ but no one tells you what to do when you don’t know what you want. How do you spend your time in this short, precious life? That question haunted me for a while, and the only way I knew how to process it was to write it out.”

He finishes, “What came out was a mess of thoughts, contradictions, and little moments of clarity. The song is funny, anxious, and honest. I wanted it to feel like a 2AM conversation with your own mind, spinning between dreams and dread, curiosity and fear. In the end, it isn’t about finding the right way to live. It’s about accepting that maybe there isn’t one, and somehow learning to be at peace with that.”

How incredibly self-aware and entirely relatable!

ABOUT RYAN WOODS:
After one listen, it would be easy to assume Ryan Woods fell from the heavens and landed smack dab in the middle of modern pop music and culture. He defies genres and eras with an otherworldly je ne sais quoi. Flaunting a sky-high range and head-turning fashion sense, Woods exudes a swaggering gusto befitting of your favorite ’70s rock star, yet he opens up with a level of candor decidedly intrinsic to Gen Z. Musically, he laces D.I.Y. pop with psychedelic experimentation and existential ruminations that are both provocative and catchy. Initially, he gained traction with covers on social media, even inciting a retweet from Shawn Mendes. Woods has cultivated his signature style by logging countless hours in both Nashville and Los Angeles sessions. “Bad Texter” was a breakthrough moment in 2021 — reeling in over 28 million Spotify streams and counting, it paved the way for his King of the Basement EP. Of the latter, Thomas Bleach raved, “This EP highlights that growth and introspective manner that has made him an artist you need to keep an eye on,” while INTERSECT Magazine applauded, “Woods’ lyrics are poetic, witty, and most of all, authentic.” Now partnered with Fearless, Woods is ready to bring his dreamy compositions, which are so much more than bedroom pop, to an even wider audience.
