1 Life Live It Episode 9 Less of a Stranger

Following up the slow release of a successful string of singles over the last three years, (“I Ain’t Mad”, “Slow Down” and “Last Forever”), Newfoundland-based country singer Chris Ryan is back at it with an upbeat new song about a last chance for butterflies. “Less of a Stranger” is Chris Ryan’s take on putting yourself in the dangerous position of seeing that special someone walk into the room and change your life forever.

Of course, at the heart of it is the fact that most of us haven’t encountered any strangers in a very long time. “Less of a Stranger” was born in the dark social vacuum of the pandemic.
“At its core, the song is about seeing that one person walk into a bar that you automatically want to know more about. The song’s inspiration though was Chris thinking about life getting back to normal and being able to do those simple things we all missed doing over the last year, like having that memory-making, spontaneous good time with friends and strangers.

The song implies a nostalgic return to normal dating conventions addressed in the most country of manners: last calls, last songs, and a hint of line-dancing. There’s even a line about having someone walking across the room (without the aid of arrows on the floor) and kissing someone directly on the neck.
Sharing more than just a Passion for Music, Chris & I sit down to chat the new “Normal”, the Survival & New Appreciation of the Arts Industry & of course a little Hockey!
