Christmas Music, Sale & News!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope this email finds you well and that your heart is good and ready for a beautiful holiday season! Lots to tell you about this fine Thanksgiving Eve: New Project, Holiday Sale and FREE Christmas music!!

CHRISTMAS MUSIC!

Over the past several years I've made a tradition of recording a Christmas song each year, to be given away free (I like to think of them as musical Christmas cards!) That tradition has accumulated into an entire Christmas album, entitled "Christmas Collection 2012"!

This year's addition is "I Heard the Bells," inspired by Frank Sinatra's classic version of it. It's not as well known as say, Jingle Bells, but I think the lyrics to this song are incredibly beautiful and moving - I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Download "I Heard the Bells," and the entire "Christmas Collection 2012" for FREE right now, via NoiseTrade!

P.S. here's a list of things i love right now:

1. Halo 4 (don't judge me.) 2. Christmas Lights (i know it wouldn't be as special, but i'd still love it if christmas lights were hung everywhere, all year long) 3. My New Gibson J45 (it may be a tad on the ugly side, but goodness, i sure do love this guitar!) 4. Wreck-It Ralph (such a sweet, clever and fun movie! see it!!)

New Song "Masquerade" Out Now!

Boo! I am pleased to announce that my brand-new song "Masquerade" is NOW available on iTunes!!

"Masquerade" is a bit different for me... it's a Halloween love song! It was SO fun to write and turned out to be my most lighthearted song ever - a fun departure from the more serious tone of most of my songs. Could it be the next "Monster Mash" or "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah"? Who knows! But it was written for the upcoming Paramount/Nickelodeon Film, "FUN SIZE," a Halloween teen-comedy, releasing in theaters this Friday! If you check out the film, be sure to keep your ears open towards the end.

Hope you like "Masquerade"!

Download here: iTunes or Amazon MP3 (or check your favorite digital music stores!)

Happy Halloween Early!

Much Love, Ryan - Sleeping At Last

"Fun Size" Film, Jon Foreman & More

Hello from the East Coast! Having a blast on Tour. I hope this note finds you so well! A few things to tell you about today... IN MEMORY OF SARAH ALLEMAN With heavy hearts, we ask that you please take a moment to read this blog post, which honors the life of Sarah Joann Alleman.

NEW SONG, "FUN SIZE" FILM Pleased to announce that I have a new song in the upcoming Paramount/Nickelodeon movie, "Fun Size" which hits theaters Oct. 26th. The song is a bit different for me, it's called "Masquerade" and like the movie, it's a Halloween love story. It was so fun to write - in fact I'd call it the most lighthearted, fun song I've ever written. It releases on iTunes on Oct. 23rd. The film is a teen comedy starring Victoria Justice, Directed by Josh Schwartz (Gossip Girl, The OC, Chuck.) Learn more about the film, here.

JON FOREMAN COLLABORATION Excited to pull the cover off of another one of the "secret projects" I've been working away on this year. Privileged to have contributed to 4 songs on the upcoming Jon Foreman (Switchfoot) solo record. The release date has yet to be announced, but I am so thrilled to have contributed to these gorgeous songs. Read a bit more about the project here.

Thanks for reading!! Hope to see you at one of the remaining Fall Tour dates!
