Born … Read Full Bio ↴Ry Cuming is currently releasing music under the moniker Ry x.
Born in the small coastal town of Angourie, Australia, Ry grew up with a surfboard under one arm and his Dad’s record collection under the other. He quickly developed a love for many different styles of music from Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder to The Beatles and The Police. His voracious appetite for music grew while his wide and varied tastes began to mold the sound and style that is uniquely Ry Cuming.
Armed with an acoustic guitar and undeniably soulful voice, Ry’s professional music career began to take shape as an 18 year-old traveler and surfer in Costa Rica. One fateful afternoon while playing in the hallway of a hotel for some female pro surfers (Ry is an avid surfer himself), Ry met a young film producer from LA who was taken by his talent and happened to have some very good connections. He became the catalyst for Ry’s journey into the LA music scene, introducing him to a network of musicians that were starting to gain momentum in the area…Maroon 5, Phantom Planet, and Rooney. Ry was now in very good company and was quickly noticed by major label JIVE records, where he recently signed a new, exclusive recording contract. His debut album was out in the spring of 2010.
Ry has already won two of Australia’s Dolphin Awards for Best Pop Song and Best New Artist, was recently featured on NBC’s EXTRA and MTV’s LAGUNA BEACH: The Real OC, has been seen in the pages of Vogue Magazine, AND been featured in two films including a Quiksilver production about the Mentawai Islands, and alongside Maroon 5 and Jimmy Buffett in the motion picture HOOT.
Ry Cuming is about to make some BIG waves in the US and around the world!!!

Ry Cuming Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I might turn you away
find a new day where I'm free from me
sunlight touches my face
how sweetly day embraces all I've ever seen
but in this dream, yeah I might follow you now
oh oh no no
the meaning of it all, so hold my hand
I'll need you til the end, please break my falls
and pick me up again oh help me learn
the meaning of it all
yeah yeah
oh oh

so turn your head away
I've done something wrong again
and I've got nothing to say
but then we got this feeling that I'm falling in love
got the magic in my fingers from your heavenly touch
well I know I need ya
cuz' your loving's got me reeling just to rise above it all
yeah I might follow you know

The song "Meaning of It All" by Ry Cuming is a heartfelt expression of a person's struggles with self-doubt and confusion, and his recognition of the need for someone else's help and love to make sense of life. The song begins with the singer acknowledging his tendency to push people away and seek freedom from himself, but at the same time, he is aware of the beauty of life that surrounds him, represented by the sunlight that touches his face. However, even in this dreamlike state, he senses the need to follow someone who might help him make sense of life. This is where the chorus comes in, with the singer admitting that he does not understand the meaning of it all and needs someone to hold his hand and break his falls, while helping him learn the true purpose of existence.
The second verse of the song reveals the singer's insecurity and regrets, as he admits that he has done something wrong again and has nothing to say in his defense. Nevertheless, he feels a magical connection to the person he is falling in love with, who gives him the courage and strength to rise above his fears and doubts. Throughout the song, the singer is grappling with his own limitations and doubts, but sees hope in the person who loves him, and whose love makes him understand the true meaning of life.
Overall, "Meaning of It All" is a touching and relatable ballad that captures the essence of the human quest for understanding and love. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the music is gentle and uplifting, adding to the song's emotional impact.
