“two songs featuring corinna“ by ryan john clary

“two songs featuring Corinna” is an immersive, two song single by ryan john clary. These indie pop songs have captivating sonic landscapes and compelling narratives, featuring vocals from Boston based musician corinna. The songs seem to both follow a relationship that is falling, or has fallen, apart. The narrator seeks reconciliation, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen. The themes of reflection and communication pull at the listener’s emotions, especially if you’re someone who has experienced a rocky time with a partner recently. 

“hardtochange” has pretty guitar strumming and a tapping drum rhythm that sets the scene for the song, as layered vocals and creative melodies hold your attention. Each verse has a different narrator, voiced by ryan john clary and corinna respectively, offering a poignant approach to examining a relationship that has ended. We get to hear from each side of the story, realizing that they are both struggling in their own way. Lines like “I guess it’s just too hard for me, changing, maybe it’s best to stop reaching too far” show a dejected resolve to give up on getting better.

“talk about” has a slightly different message, wanting to work on the relationship instead of accepting that change is impossible, shown in lyrics like “can we talk about it for a second, cause I don’t want you to leave.” An irresistibly catchy melody comes back throughout the song, and the constant repetition of “I just wanna talk about it” mirrors just how desperately the narrator wants to fix things.
