Dear Friends,
We made it! Spring is finally here - my favorite time of year. I hope you’re feeling a bit of spring-time hope too! Today, I get to share a handful of things I’m very excited about! At a glance:
New Song: An Honest Mirror (Philautia) - Early Release
Live from the Ryman Video on Demand
Songs on Netflix and Nick Jr. Shows
New Store Item: Saturn Journal
Side note: I’ve decided to bring back pictures into Letters! (I missed them.)
New Song: An Honest Mirror (Philautia)
I’m so pleased to introduce you to my new song An Honest Mirror (Philautia), which is the fifteenth song Atlas: III. The official release date is April 10, but I’m thrilled to share it with you right now.
This song is inspired by the greek definition of love, philautia, which is self-love, self-worth, and self-nurture. I’ll be honest, as I learned a bit about philautia, I struggled to write a song about my own worth. I’ve still got a long way to go in that essential pursuit of self-love, in spite of having been loved deeply by my mother, my wife and my daughters. So, I decided to write that song, struggles and all.

Live from the Ryman - Watch on Demand
Last Fall, I had the privilege of playing my first-ever show at the legendary venue, the Ryman in Nashville. The wonderful folks at VEEPS filmed the show and I’m excited to tell you that the entire concert is available to watch on demand!
Finding Her Edge on Netflix
Speaking of things to watch, I’m so very honored that my song Turning Page got to be a part of several episodes of the new Netflix show, Finding Her Edge. Keep an ear out during season 1!
Bedtime Stories with Ryan on Nick Jr.
Also, I’m thrilled to share that episodes of Ryan Reynolds’ wonderful children’s show Bedtime Stories with Ryan is airing on Nick Jr.! I had the honor of making music for this sweet show, including the theme song!
Saturn Journal
A new merch item that is now available: The Saturn journal! In our hyper digital age, I still find it so helpful and rewarding to write my thoughts on paper. So, I wanted to create a beautiful, blank journal featuring lyrics from my song Saturn: “I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen…” I hope you like it! (Oh, and I should mention that it doesn’t come with a pen.)
Thank you so much for reading and listening! I hope you enjoy An Honest Mirror!! Thanks for being a Letters subscriber.
Huge love, Ryan
