    This newly remastered version of Ryan’s breakthrough 2008 album Letters From North of Town features enhanced sonic quality, along with a brand-new cover design and artwork. Several of Ryan’s most cherished and well-known songs are all here; “Chasing Heaven”, “Always Have The Moon”, “In My Eyes”, “Rain Down”, and the title track.
    From the original notes…
    Acoustic-driven, electric-tinged, singer-songwriter in the style of Fogelberg, Steven Curtis Chapman and the Eagles. Songs about the journey of life and God's gifts to us.

    Letters From North of Town is a travelogue/prayer journal set to music. Songs about traveling, praying, living, and searching for God and finding Him in some of the most unexpected of places! :)

    From the country-rock of "Chasing Heaven" and Gospel/R&B-tinged "Rain Down" to the quiet solace of "In My Eyes", these songs are a reflection of God's love and patience. These songs are from some of those times, struggling, searching, and finding Him. I hope that they inspire and uplift you.

lyrics

To a friend - Ryan Sheeler

Dear friend,

Thank you for your kindness
And the comfort of your smile
Oh how it made the sweet time pass
For a little while

Someone once told me
How you held their child on their lap
There was none a brighter picture
Than the love your smile unwrapped

You gave a note to me
Once upon a time
That lifted up my heart
To see God’s love divine

I’ll never forget you
And what you gave to me
A measure of yourself
Beyond what others see

So as I write these lines
And tears fall down my face
I remember Christ is bringing you
Into his arms of grace

Thank you, friend…
Welcome home

Dedicated to the memory of Dan and Lois Bureman 9/21/06
