I first heard this song as a 17 year old kid. As a guitar player, I fell in love with this song. I said one day if I am lucky enough to have a daughter, her name will be Rylynn.
At the time I'm writing this, it is 7/12/24 at 4:12am. I'm now 33 and my wife just gave birth to our baby girl Rylynn Jade at 2:50am. I just finished playing this song for her in recovery and she fell asleep listening to the music. Rest well my queen ♥️
Simply put, thank you Andy McKee for this amazing song and your amazing music. As both someone who loves the music and appreciates amazing guitar playing, this hits home ♥️
thats so wonderful.. congrats to you mate!
F**k that was so warming to read.
Thank you for this post and I wish you and all your family the best
Living legend
You're also a legend.
❤️
Was he ur inspiration???
@@neonn9674 He is one of my favorite guitarist(Andy Mckee) who inspired me to start percussive fingertyle and Alexander misko is also my favorite Guitarist.
@Alexandr Misko,
Yo Alex! Teach me some a yours as well man! 🙏😂
I remember finding this song when I was 18. I just moved back home after running away at the age of 15. I felt so lost and hopeless. I sobbed listening to this. It hit so hard, and I can’t explain why. I’m nearly 29, married, have a daughter, and am doing alright. So glad to search this song again, and see it to, has grown. Thanks Andy.
life will always be happy in the end I believe that
Welcome home, a few years late. It pleases me to hear that you got it together and now have a family.
I can't remember when I first heard this song, but it was a long time ago. A friend sent me a link to his cover of Toto's Africa and that lead me to several of his songs. This one struck me (and still does) as a combination of a lullaby and a love song. It's quite emotional and works very well.
McKee's playing is so tasty. I'm grateful to have his music in my life.
It sounds like we found this song around the same time. I'm glad to read that you're doing alright :) Thanks for sharing
♥️♥️♥️♥️
That's amazing. I had a messed up childhood as well, I'm 28 now but have achieved nothing, living day to day hoping to hold out killing myself until my Mum passes. Glad it works out for some.
Andy wrote on his album “This song is dedicated to Rylynn Coffman, a young girl as lovely and unique as her name. Although she came and went through this world so quickly, she will never be forgotten.”
Listening the outro of the song and reading your comment at the same time makes me cry...
Don't know that was reason behind this.
He wrote on his Facebook in 2014: You all have really made me emotional with your pictures of your daughters named Rylynn. The first one here is Rylynn Coffman. She was the lovely daughter of my friends Ryan and Ramey. Sadly, she passed from a genetic disorder at the age of 3.
@@youtubeuser206 I named my daughter after the song. Her mother and I did the usual back and forth on names a bit, then when I brought this song up and how I always imagined this being the music playing in my head whenever I had my first child, she instantly agreed it would be the perfect name. My daughter is 11 now, and has listened to the song many times. Her personality is as unique as her name. Bought the sheet music direct from Andy many years ago and still working on being able to play it lol.
@@CryptolockerMDidk who you are but I hope you learned this song and in whatever capacity possible you’ve played it for your daughter. Even if not I’m glad you’ll always share this song with her.
back in the day, aaaaand for a long time, anyone could just type 'guitar' into the search bar on TH-cam, and this song would be at the top, every time
Rylynn never gets old, what a fabulous piece. Michael, you're absolutely the best, big fan of your work.
his name is andy dude
iAlwi I was talking about Micheal Greenfield, luthier who makes those amazing guitars
@@gonzaloleal1008 weird
Years ago, a mate and I used to queue up several of your songs, this one included, and talk about his projects, my music, your music... He died in a car crash when he was t-boned. This song, and The Friend I've Never Met are the closest to my heart because of him. And this is the best I've ever heard you play it sir.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
I'm sorry for your loss... Thanks for sharing that with us, nonetheless.
@@cryomanc3r Happy to. Keeps his memory alive. Wish I could have met him in person (that's why "Friend I've Never Met" means so much).
Don't take anyone for granted--you never know what these temporal days may bring. Hold 'em close, treat them with kindness, and by the gods, if you love 'em, tell 'em. You might not get the chance to again.
Bless
as Andy said, the musician who most inspired him was Michael Hedges, and he died in a car accident too, in 1997. Andy tears up when he talks about him, and he didn't even have the chance to meet him unfortunately. The friend I never met is dedicated to him too, and Aerial boundaries is an Hedges's cover. Take it like a way to feel even more close to your friend and them too my friend :)
The power of Music
He uploaded the first version of this almost 15 years ago.
How does he look younger now?!
This song, along with all of his.. is timeless.
Love your music Andy!
I still like the first version better but that's just me
I think being bald helps you look younger
I remember having my mind blown many years ago when Andy McKee released this song on TH-cam. I enjoy hearing him playing it after all this time. You can hear the maturity in the pacing of his playing. Brilliant musician.
I spent six months in Japan at 19, best time of my life. I'm much older now, but I look back on it with fond memories, walking the streets in Fukuoka for hours on end with this song playing just to take in as much as I possibly could of where I was.
I have listened to this beautiful piece of music so many times and it always breaks My heart, it is simply too much
I have so much pride when I tell people this guy taught me everything I know on guitar. Hes as good of a human being as he is a musician. So much love.
Rylynn is Andy's Arial Boundaries. It's one of the most inspiring pieces of music I've ever heard.
I loved the old candyrat sessions of this. It sounds even better today.
Man lost tons of weight too...
idk the old one is just so nostalgic.. but i agree.. this one is very lovely... that OG andy though.. thats what got me into acoustic percussive play
Sounds incredible now, agreed. The only thing I miss are the bends he used to play in the bridge.
Andy McKee has a red shirt and a beard... who is this guy?
I AM DEAD
🤣
This guy is toreto
a god.. a musical god.. i could listen all day..
lmao my first thoughts too 😂😂
Seeing this it's like running into an old friend.
It has been 12 years since I first heard Andy McKee play Rylynn and Drifting, I was impressed at the time and it brings so many good memories... :)
This is far and away my favorite of the Andy McKee compositions I've heard. Just hauntingly beautiful, and obviously a hell of a technical accomplishment. Interesting to see the song evolve over the years, it just gets a bit better each time. Awesome.
I can't forget the moment that I first heard Rylynn...It was like present. And I had been played that song with pleasure until now and I will play it forever. Thank you Andy. From South Korea
16 years - Now listening to this song again.
20 now 👏
When a skilled craftsman hands over his creation to a talented artist real magic happens
Crazy good guitarist and composer. Drifting was the 1st piece I heard him play 16 years ago. He's continued his aesthetic excellence in sound. Love his stuff ❤️
There was a moment there when I thought I was listening to a completely different piece.
Will always remind me of my days as a late teen still figuring life out. Years later and I'm forever grateful I found this song. Love and light to the world from little old New Zealand ❤️
I said this the first time I listened to this song back in 2007... This is the most emotional guitar song ever. I remember using this song on my social media platforms so that when a friend visit my page, this would summarize my personality and taste in music. hahaha! listening to this now that I'm in my 30's brings back so many memories! Thank you Andy for your gift! God bless you!
I first heard this in 2006 and it has stuck with me ever since. It WILL stand the test of time. People will be watching this for decades to come.
This song is best served with eyes closed, ears open and happy thoughts.
Thinking about how blessed we are to live in the same age as guitar legends like Andy McKee. It's epic and humbling. He doesn't come off as the most elite but that one video on Candyrat gave fond memories to many of us.
Great song from a amazing person for my niece will never replace her but amazing way to honor her thanks a million
I found this sound my Sr year of highschool. I'm 31 now. I named my daughter after this beautiful song and always knew I would. Thank you for the beautiful work♥️
Sweet moment after my work.
This sound of guitar makes me happy, I'm so glad to hear that sound.
Thanks Andy and Michael to bring more sun in my life.
I remember first hearing this song when i was a freshman in high school back in 06. My dad drove me all over the twin cities so I could find this weird capo in order to play this song and only this song. I haven’t heard it in years, and his original video in the red shirt popped up on my feed out of nowhere, brought me all the way back. He still sounds great.
i've been loving and playing this song for 15 years....
i'm so glad he's still playing and developing it's power.
this song taught me so much.... not just guitar, but also emotion.
I love it.
Thank you sir. Keep up the hard work, Come back to San Diego and teach me more.
this is so much beyond simply "fingerstyle" guitar playing. Just totally beautiful music and performance first and foremost. He still plays it like he means it
I can remember when he put the first video of this song out on candyrat records. Its so nice to see how he plays the song now in 2020, and its still as beautiful, even though slightly different :)
Hey Andy,
You're the reason I started to play guitar. Thank you.
I had an electric and just didn't feel anything. Saw Drifting and Rylynn, got an acoustic for Christmas, and have played for 15 years. You are the absolute bomb bro.
Well, he's the reason why I stopped !!! :D (joking, I'm learning Rylinn and it's such a pleasure to (try to) play it).
@@pafacil XD
This is one legendary and unique piece of art which fulfills my soul with joy. Such a beautiful combination with best guitar ever made by human being and my idol guitarist Andy Mckee. Perfect !
I learnt this tune about 8 years ago.. really nice to hear him play around with the intro. So beautifully written.
Same wonderful feeling as when I first heard the songs many years ago. Well done Andy!
Andy is still at it.. That dude is absolutely unique.. I'd LOVE to hear him live!
What a timeless classic - Rylynn is still sounding fresh. Glad he still plays the tune and the dynamics in the end are lovely!
I had the privilege of seeing Andy live and he is truly an amazingly gifted guitarist. I love this video, and that guitar sounds excellent!
Andy man no one plays your song like you do man. You are awesome. I have seen a lot of people playing it but your playing is just something special man. Really you are awesome. Congrats on all the success you've had.
Walked down the aisle with my wife to this song 10 years ago. Love to see him going back to his old stuff every now and then--really showcases how even he had room to grow. I didn't think this song could get better.
And still the same necklace from 15 years ago. You are an underapreciated talent that changed my whole perception on what a guitar is capable of.
13 years later and this song still hits me like a truck. So good, keep it smooth man!
For me this is the sound for when you are missing some one. Beautiful piece by Andy, and your guitar also, so awesome.
Andy wrote on his album “This song is dedicated to Rylynn Coffman, a young girl as lovely and unique as her name. Although she came and went through this world so quickly, she will never be forgotten.”
This guy is a legend. I remember finding the original video 15 years ago and I’m still blown away and listening to it now.
Essa canção soará eternamente!!! McKee, mito do fingerstyle!
Rylynn is such a classic. Love this performance! This song is also the reason I picked up the guitar. Thanks Andy!
Love the sounds of those melodies its so calming.
I don't know if this comment will ever reach you bud, but this guitar song started everything for me. This was the first song I've heard on TH-cam 11 years ago so thank you for making me relive it again.
I remember it was exactly eight years ago when I discovered Rylynn on TH-cam and started learning it! Andy McKee was the one who kindled my interest in fingerstyle guitar playing. Thank you sir, you're a legend!
This song. Much has changed in my life since I first felt it's spirit. So much loss in the since and now. 41 and unsure of my life ahead. Life is a beautiful pain, I love my life and the world I am in and am full of gratitude for my chance to do better tomorrow. This song is truly profound. I wonder where I will be in 10 years. Peace to you my gentle readers.
this is one of the first songs I heard Andy play, way back in high school. I remember where I was too for some strange reason; at my friend Brad's house taking care of his dog for him while he was gone. Couple years later I was able to catch Andy at a concert in TX. After the show, I asked him for music career advice. He said one word: "TH-cam" haha! So I started uploading on TH-cam. Fast forward to today, I've been fortunate to play some small tours and even performed a cruise gig in Europe with a band called "Postmodern Jukebox on Deck". I haven't really "blown up" but I've been fortunate enough to be able to make a modest living performing music. Now finding this in my recommended several years later - man it sounds better than ever. Thank you Andy!
The reason I learned guitar. Nice to see the old stuff once in a while.
So dang beautiful. The outro gets me everytime.
The outro is like nostalgic dissolving tones, it reminds me of my childhood somehow.
an utterly beautiful piece of music. Thanks, Andy.
One of my favorite all time songs! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing, love the way you changed the intro of the song to what used to be the ending in your original video of Rylynn. Loved it just as much, if not more! Thank you Andy, a credit to the music industry as always. keep it up
This has got to be my favorite performance of Rylynn from Mr. Andy McKee.
Such a beautiful and evocative song. Andy is truly a master of his art.
CHE VIAGGIO ,MI HAI FATTO GIRARE I POSTI PIU BELLI DEL MONDO,, E SPERARE CHE MOLTI ANZIANI GUARISCONO DAL VIRUS !GRAZIE,,
Years ago they tried ta--
I'm glad I found this again
20 years ago i loved this one
One of the greatest to ever pick up the instrument!
In an alternate universe, Rylynn would've been all grown up by now. This version sounds like how a proud dad would feel :)
So poignantly beautiful Mr. Mckee ❤️ the composition fits Rylynn's history perfectly ❤️ brings tears to my eyes ❤️
Lovely playing and sound. I have had these mics for years, stunning.
Fan since 2006.
Greetings from Brazil!!
I've been listening to this song since I was little. As I grow up, the song sounds different. Tears come out now when I hear it. I miss the memories of the past.
Dude, this is so beautiful it made me cry.. Wow
This is one of those songs that has such a sense of nostalgia for me. Sounds like I've heard it all my life yet I haven't. I love songs that possess this quality, true heavenly works here.
Nostalgia describes it so elegantly
It's interesting to see and hear the changes he has made since the original version. But, this is BY FAR my favorite piece from Andy! Amazing piece. Brilliant. Why? The story behind him writing this piece will pull your heart strings. It's a sad story that resulted in a great tribute, and a beautiful piece of music. Without the story, this piece would not be possible. There is a lot of pain behind this song, and it was translated so beautifully in composition, that it brings a smile to my face. This is one of the best tribute pieces ever written, and one of the most elegant and wonderful sounds to grace a guitar. Mastery and excellence. Well done. Very well done.
Thank you for being there for some key moments in my life, Andy.
Beautiful song on a beautiful instrument
This make my mind come at ease, and reminisce about the good in life.
Just heard this live again tonight.
No less magical than the first time.
❤️
1 of my favorite instrumentals ever..... And its even more refined now.
Idk who its about. But there is so much emotion here
He came to New Orleans at a place called "Parish" by House of Blues, twice that I know, putting on a special night of music. Luckily, I was there both times with my wife and I bought any CD he had at the time. In person, he is a gentle and kind man who was so polite. He is the most talented and skilled guitarist to play finger style!
This song gets better everytime he plays it. Great improvisation! ❤️
Brilliant playing. Gives energy to fly away...
Still love it. I will never forget it.
His playing got so refined over the years
this song changed my musical life, thanks bro!
Yet again 😊 I love this piece.
Beautiful as always
Instrument is a work of art
The man that opened me up to classical style.
So damn beautiful. My favorite song of all time.
Beautiful piece and Andy performs it so beautifully and with such grace... brought to life through the transcendental qualities of a Greenfield guitar - the combination of the song, playing and sonic qualities of that fabulously crafted guitar really do elevate you to another level... just close your eyes and you’ll be there too :)
Maybe the best version of Rylynn yet. Perfect guitar.
Please do the Never grow old this way. It would be great.
It's probably the best song on TH-cam, since it was one of the first to go viral. And yea, its been 10yrs ago but masterpiece is a masterpieace.
What a beautiful Sound with Greenfields Guitars !
Rediscovering your stuff after about 12 years. Still extremely beautiful. One of my fav guitarists. Might sound strange but Andy's stuff has always reminded me of the videogame composer Yasunori Mitsuda's work, particularly the Chrono Cross soundtrack.
Loving the guru-esque necklace and the music!!!
Wow, so many memories ...
Love this song. All of his work is so awesome.
I can remember like 20 years ago when drifting had Under 1m views thinking whos this convict in a red shirt playing guitar. OMG hes good... Hes is Nothing like that image. Hes kinda nerdy awesomeness dude. Amazing guy really. Met him Long ago
dang Andy looks younger now than when he first uploaded 'Rylynn' to TH-cam back in 06'. Absolute Legend
Your an OG Im dead sick 15 years nostalgia 😂
This is absolutely the most intimate version of this song that Andy plays.
Perfect musical performance.
Stunning and Precise☺
