My Wrecking Ball

Ryan debuted “My Wrecking Ball” at the 2014 Newport Folk Festival and told the audience, “It’s like a protest song, protesting the death of my grandmother”, who passed away in 2011.

Not to be confused with the Miley Cyrus track with a similar name, this song has shades of Springsteen’s “Drive All Night,” with lyrics haunted by a loved one’s absence.
