The Story Behind ‘The Feeling Never Went Away’

Ryder describes the song as a powerful reflection on lingering emotions despite the logic of moving on. He shares,

“It’s about still having feelings for someone or something even though they perhaps don’t deserve them anymore, but you can’t help it, it’s chemical. In my own life that finds its form in the shape of struggles or demons I’ve had over the past year or so, and even though I think I’ve conquered them, back they come. I think ultimately healing and breaking the cycle is about recognising these feelings and accepting them, and knowing that although the feeling might never go away, it doesn’t define us.”

This honesty resonates deeply with listeners, making the song both relatable and uplifting.

What to Expect from the ‘Heartland’ Album

Sharing his vision for Heartland, Ryder reveals that this album encapsulates the emotional rollercoaster of recent years. His hope is to connect with listeners globally, whether they’re “flying high” or feeling isolated.

He adds,

“If you’re navigating the pain of forgiveness and the weight that comes with holding onto resentment, if you’ve lost confidence in yourself and you’re trying to find a way back to your spark, spirit and hope, this is for you. Take to the Heartland. I’m with you every step.”
