Ryan Reacts: Songs From His 30-Day Songwriting Class

[@JansleyMusic]

PLEASE make this a repeating segment! I took your class and it's awesome to see your thought process with how you write songs. But it's also incredibly rewarding to see you deconstruct other people's music

[@iambeachua]

Yes! Make this a series!

[@ronaldchavezmusic2968]

Definitely, I've been learning a lot from you

[@Aslovemusic]

Thank you so much Ryan 😍❤️ I could never have imagined that my song "Twenty Something" would end up on OneRepublic's KZbin channel 😱

[@jadecoley]

Loved your song 🎵.

[@billright6424]

I love your song. Can you please upload the full song on KZbin? It is so good.

[@judithflorencio3295]

Congrats on the song, I love it! The beat is catchy and good for dance to. You are so talented!

[@izzye1156]

I love your song so much!

[@loriezuberka4569]

I loved your song And I need it on all my playlists ! Where can I get it ???

One Nation. Under Song. With Creativity, and Awesomeness - For All.

[@BrettAltmanMusic]

This is awesome insight! “Once you introduce drums you can’t really pull them out” - that’s great

[@VinaVerde]

I like how Ryan reviewed the songs honestly but in a constructive and positive way.. 😊👌 I'd like to know if Jack, Heidi, and Dave have already changed the songs to Ryan's suggestions. Their songs are a bop already but with Ryan suggestion, it can be sounds better.. I'd like to hear it 😊.

[@michagil8037]

Jack did change the song and it sounds awesome! You can check it out on his KZbin channel or Spotify :)

[@leakenny1125]

Feel something by Jessica Lindsay is also on spotify

[@home.peless]

I've been your fan and you've been my inspiration for 13 years now. I'm going to finally learn how to play guitar and save money so I can take your classes. I hope they are still available when I'm ready! Thanks Ryan!! CAN'T WAIT FOR HUMAN IN AUGUST FINALLY!!! ♡

[@dipahmed7422]

Cool 😎

[@Lace26]

amazes me that, I've listened to so many songs that aren't OneRepublic and loved them, then realised that Ryan T either wrote or produced them (Skinny Love, Chances, Rumour Has it...even a Trance song on my Playlist that I love). Now I've just found out that he worked with London Grammar, another group I really like. I'm just drawn to his creativity.

[@rnzzlr]

I seriously can’t get enough of loco, by far my favorite! I can honestly see this being a summer hit!!

[@ostrovmusic]

Ryan, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am at very bottom right now, but I continue to believe that hard work and passion for making music will lead me to the light. And your educational videos are little pearls among tons of ocean water. My best and favorite books to learn from. You are an amazing person, I thank you from the bottom of my heart

[@Aureliaven]

The chill, dreamy vibe of these songs is right up my alley. I can hear the OneRepublic inspiration in some of them, but they are still unique. I gotta find a playlist like this.

[@misaelintriago5434]

I was thinking the exact same thing lol and I absolutely love songs that have this sound and create that particular vibe

[@Scrapio12]

Man, these are totally great songs, I really wouldn't be against just a playlist of all of them, they're seriously great

[@vcarter0723]

But loco and super 8 were definitely the best, loco was really catchy, 100% agree that the beat was 10/10, and the super 8 post-chorus tweak hanging up on that fifth key would really make that song a banger

[@heatherwatchesstuff]

keep doing this stuff Ryan! it’s so cool to hear your perspective on how everything works musically!

[@alexandertian8530]

I always thought that Ryan is some kind of untouchable star, since I love his music so much and have lots of respect for him. But now he's just sitting in front of me, listening to music of his students in an ordinary way..No pride, no negative, only useful advices. Love you Ryan❤

[@sergeiren]

Loving Ryan’s involvement in the channel, it’s awesome

[@nickandkyvlogs8054]

Wow! The songs were so good! I especially loved the 2nd one. It does really seem like a song someone would put into a movie/show. I also just really loved that song lol

[@vishnualcyone9170]

Damn how do these singers get there vocals so upfront and crisp like that? All these singers had that similar vocal mix. It doesn't sound dry or over produced. Sounds crisp, in your face and smooth.

[@ashliegreising]

I wonder the same thing…

[@whitebogdi]

try CLA vocals on face2face dry preset :) and you'll understand

[@charnechristensen]

That is brilliant Ryan. So cool that you are giving back and mentoring new artists/song writers. You are incredibly gifted but its your hard work and discipline that makes you so unique and special. Songland is my ultimate TV show. I hope we get several more seasons as songwriting and music styles evolve and so should the material for Songland to keep it dated.

[@charnechristensen]

@Ryan Tedder so special to read your feedback Ryan. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand. I often go back and watch old episodes of Songland as the whole song writing process is incredible to watch and hear. You make it look effortless but in reality it must be very draining on you and I think the highs of writing a hit song must be very addictive, which makes the lows so much harder. Just know that the joy of what you create and bring to our lives, is the most uplifting experience in a sometimes very cruel world. Sending you love and joy from Kiwi Land and Thank You for taking time to reply and show your gratitude, it means the world to me to.

[@laurahenderson5608]

Heidi and Jessica please release your songs on Spotify they are mesmerizing Thank you Ryan you are fantastic! This segment is inspiring

[@inhnhokhoa7213]

Feel Something is my favorite track so far, reminding me of Two Feet's vibe and UPSAHL's melody choice.

[@Davo198]

Course structure has completely changed and now just includes videos! Bring back the original course!

[@patriarahayu7727]

These song are so cool.. You guys so lucky to get valuable feedbacks. And Ryan is just brilliant 🤯

[@hiTocopter]

Would've been fun if someone went and did music in a genre that's really far removed from pop. I'd love to hear this man critique dissonance in black metal or post-chorus tags in hardstyle.

[@muse4clarice]

Wäre toll zu wissen

[@animeluv98-]

I honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy this video as much as I did. I don't know anything about music really. I just like listening. But it was pretty cool to see an experienced singer/producer critique others songs! I enjoyed your insight and hopefully you can do more videos like this! :)

[@rivaoceanview4211]

Smarter than the other 99% of the population because your a natural at what you do. You have the gifts to help others that brings live and hope to their lives for a future.. Lucky enough to choose to keep your talents current and active and move into the future with the changes in music styles. Most people don't have the broad range of music styles they can sing, instrument play or produce as you have and understand do many different styles. Why don't you teach a college class part time or through a summer? Find more talent. Think back to when you were in college. What type of guidance did you want most? Maybe get students from the college's and helpl them get credits for graduation through your songwriting coarses.

[@d3rossi]

When Ryan speaks music, listen. goat

[@stylexsaah]

Sir you make music much easier to understand thank you 🙏🏽

[@vcarter0723]

the twenty something was sooo good in the beginning, it was leading up to some big chorus ...... but then the chorus never happened. disappointing. those first few verses were fire, just add in a big dancey chorus and you got yourself a hit. otherwise it's a buildup to something that never happens.

[@emiljohnDR]

It’s a drop chorus, Ryan’s suggestion was spot on imo

[@jakecanten3246]

I agree this song is fire. From the imagery in the lyrics, the production. But the chorus never came. (It’s still a great song) but this song deserves a big instrumentation chorus!

[@chrishaunachristie4920]

All these songs are great...it would be great to hear them after they've been redone with Ryan's suggestions 😀

[@milla9206]

That Country & Western - I Could Use A Beach by Dave Cohen is a great jam! 🔥 🔊 * taps feet*

[@janicereidlinger9957]

Respect! Ryan, I’m not a musician, but I learned a lot from your comments and suggestions.

Please go listen to Jack’s re-release of his song. It’s absolutely amazing!!!!!

Actually i dont watch reaction videos, but this type of reactions with Ryan i can watch everyday and never got tired! It was very interesting to listen such a great guys who is making beautiful and unique songs like these, each one got its own charm, but Gold from Heidi Webster got me some goosebumps, wow! Thank you for such wise and accurate tips you were given to authors, it was pretty interesting experience to listen some songs and also to see how you will comment them. It would be nice to get some videos or reaction if authors will do any changes in their songs, guys good luck to everyone! Nice job, wonderful songs! Ryan thanks for sharing with us~

[@KevinMacMusic]

I actually loved that dissonant note in Feel Something! It was the most interesting part of the melody I heard.

[@jefflawrence3894]

to me it sounded bad right away but to each his own.

[@runagroundmusic]

great notes Ryan - literally voice recorded my first idea to a different approach to the first chorus on the 1st song and was basically same thing you said. I’m down to sign up for the class just to get any new note or approach i might not have expected 🙏

[@thedealermusic]

Whilst it’s usually best to do something diff in the chorus remember Katy Perry ‘E.T’ and Calvin Harris ‘We Found Love’ have pretty much exactly the same verse melodies and chorus melodies. There are always exceptions!

[@karollvalentinaalvarezcamp3431]

LOCO is beautiful!! When is it coming out!! The chorus is awesome!

[@xyzcomp08]

I really enjoy going over stuff at the same time with you. I'm an amateur songwriter, do my own production, etc. and also nearly 100% of the time, I hear the same things you do in other work! It's fun to live vicariously through someone as successful as you and know that when I do what I do, it's only my own skillsets as a player that hold me back. I probably will take one of your courses one day, just to confirm my suspicions. I'm really curious to find out.

[@pkilla78]

This is so cool I love learning how music is made even though I’m clueless

[@xznilloalexander6166]

She hit the 7th degree of the harmonic minor, which is ok if the you sing it with a chord that also has that note In there. When she sung, the chord that was couple didn't have that note and therefore didn't match. To make it plain, if you're gonna sung a weird note, make sure the chord sounds good with it, and as a result justifies it.

[@marcbouchermusic]

On Feel Something if the bass/instrumental moved to an E7 chord of some kind the G# she played would work just fine. She’s technically in C but the relative minor is Am so it would be good. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That second song melody would have worked if she continued bringing it down... A-G#-G natural, and even keep going to an F# with a D major chord underneath for a little Dorian vibe.
