The sudden loss of his brother and the onset of terminal cancer to his father in law, he was already dealing with some heavy contemplations when COVID19 hit and was thrust into the worlds longest lock down. In the face of it all you’re faced with a robust appreciation for what really matters, and to Ryan that is family, resilience and positivity. This song reflects on the heroic struggles of his mother after losing his father at age two, and her ability to carry on with grace, providing a stable home for twin boys and a new born baby. It also emphasises the importance of music in his life, and that your voice is the one thing that is truly yours. Musically, the song draws on his love of 90’s rock that inspired him as a teenager with understated vocals, soaring guitar work, driving drums and euphoric builds. This is the first track released that was fully written, recorded and mixed by Oliver. My Mama Taught Me Well will be released on all platforms on December 18th 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591e6c5117bffc19e7ee2e59/1608275875810-CBRRUGJ0YRPLSAEXF66H/image-asset.jpeg Videos - My Mama Taught Me Well My Mama Taught Me Well is an anthem of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. 2020 came in hard and fast after some life changing events in Melbourne based singer-songwriter Ryan Oliver’s existence.
