FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The musical duo known as Ryan and Fi
have released their latest single, “Song for Luke.” The single is
in memoriam of singer Ryan's brother, Luke who died tragically while
climbing last year. “Song for Luke” is the most significant
official release from Ryan and Fi in recent months and will be
followed by another single, “Well Together” on December 10th.
“Song for Luke” is a work of great humanity and beauty in equal
parts, undeniably moving music that seizes the listener at once and
caresses rather than plucks the heartstrings. It is some of the most
heartfelt, genuine songwriting ever composed.
Ryan and Fi is the professional stage
name of Ryan and Fiona, who have been playing in the Australian music
underground throughout Sydney for ten years in various ensembles.
Their current incarnation as a duo, Ryan and Fi, is gaining traction
in its third year. They cite as main artistic influences such
songsmiths as The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Elton John,
Coldplay, Katy Perry and Pink.
Of these, Ryan's songwriting style and
vocal timbre is reminiscent of Elton John, Leonard Cohen, and Bob
Dylan, also – truly, elements of all three are easily distinguished
in Ryan's own, unique style. The delicate precision of both Ryan and
Fi’s voices is often startling, sometimes even bewildering in their
sheer perfection. This is not to suggest that they sound mechanical,
however. In fact, they melt into their music until one forgets that
they are performing it.
The lyrical content of “Song for
Luke” is not gloomy. It is a peaceful assertion of one's connection
to all things from a natural perspective, not unlike the
transcendentalist works of poets like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt
Whitman. Ryan declares the happy presence of his brother in the wind
and the trees. Neither is “Song for Luke” a work of catharsis. It
is very simply Ryan's explanation to the world that, clearly, life is
omnipresent and death is not at all.
“Its main message is one of hope,
love and letting go,” write Ryan and Fi. It is Ryan and Fi’s hope
that this song can help others who have been through similar
experiences to better deal with the pain of loss. It also includes
the message of life after death and that loved ones are still there,
only in a different sense.”
“Song for Luke” by Ryan and Fi is
available online worldwide beginning 30 November 2013.
