About Me


Congratulations! You've found the myspace for Ryan Koski.
My Bio: First off, I'm 18 years old and a senior at West Bend East High School. I spent most of my life living in Rhinelander, WI however, until moving down to West Bend to live with my dad after spending my whole life with my mom ever since they got divorced. I'm 50% Native American so I can get college tuition for free in Michigan but i have to become a Michigan resident first, so I'm planning on moving in with my cousin, who lives in Michigan, after graduation. Once I can get the free tuition, I plan to apply at Northern Michigan University and Major in either Journalism or Psychology.
Not a lot of people would know it just by looking at me, but I'm a huge sports fan. I spend a lot of my time actually reading about or watching my favorite sports teams, which are the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Milwaukee Brewers. I also like to write a lot but it wasn't always that way. I remember English always being my worst subject and hating to write essays but I realized that I was able to write somewhat decent if it was about something I was interested in and it all just kind of took of from there. If the whole music thing doesn't work out, I hope to one day become a sportswriter to write about my favorite teams if I'm going to spend a lot of my time reading about them anyways. I've actually already started my own blog for the Milwaukee Bucks called the Brew City Bucks Report at brewcitybucksreport.blogspot.com.
When it comes to music, I'm relatively just starting out since I didn't even start play guitar until I started high school. I had watched the music video for Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana and instantly wanted to learn as soon as possible. My parents were reluctant to buy me a guitar, however, as I had a history of joining something and not sticking to it so I actually had to buy my first guitar. I just remember finding the cheapest guitar and amp set I could find, which was a Behringer 15 Watt Amp along with its Stratocaster-look-a-like that cost $115, which took me a couple of months just to save up. Once I finally got the guitar, I had a few people show me the basics, like how to form a power chord and how to read tabs, but for the most part I basically was self taught.
About six months after I started playing, I started to write my first couple of songs. I never actually planned on writing my own songs when I started but it all just came naturally. I just would start singing about a thought or an idea without really thinking about it and before I knew it I had a song. The ironic part is that whenever I actually try to write a song, I basically get writers block and the end result usually consists of bad lyrics so I never try to rush a song if it's not ready.
My lyrics are by far the best parts of my songs and have a lot of meaning though. Perhaps it's because as I'm writing them, I let my emotions take over so that every word is heartfelt and comes from how I feel about something or someone. I believe that a song with meaning can bring the listener to feel the exact same way that the songwriter felt when they wrote their song and I think that my songs accomplish that.
Along with being self taught how to play guitar, I was also self taught how to sing which is obvious to some people. I was never really into music growing up and played football and basketball all throughout elementary and middle school so I was never in a chorus class and never learned how to sing. I believe that any one can learn how to sing with the right lessons though so if I ever get serious about my music or get signed to a label I would seek lessons. However, I havent gotten a lot better than I used to be just through lots of practice and I'm continuing to get better.
That's pretty much it but if you want to know anything else about me or just want to talk, just drop me a comment.
My Likes: A girl that can smile is a major plus, Someone that always stays true to themselves and doesn’t do something just to impress their friends, I love girls who act cute and adorable, I can’t resist them, My favorite part of a girl that I pay the most attention to are probably their eyes, A girl that has fantastic eyes is just that much more beautiful to me (and I love dark eyeliner and long eyelashes), A girl who know that she’s beautiful but isn’t cocky about it (yes girls can be cocky too), Someone who likes to cuddle and take naps with (hey guys can like to cuddle too, plus I like to sleep a lot), I have a thing for female songwriters (write me a song), I love getting backrubs (give me a backrub haha), Someone willing to try new things, Someone who’s always happy, I like all different types of women so the way you dress doesn’t really matter to me, I’ve been attracted to all different types, If I had to order my preferences it would have to be BeautifulGorgeous AdorableCuteHawt Sexy, If I had to choose between the girl next door or the sexiest girl in the world, I would choose the girl next door, Someone who cares a lot about me is probably the most important thing for me when choosing a relationship, Being with someone that can love me as much as I could love them in return.
My Dislikes: One of my biggest turn offs are people that talk rude to other people or talk bad about someone only when that person isn’t around, I hate how some people are so racist, People that use the n-word, Playing mind games (If I like you, i’ll tell you I do), People that overacts to things like all the time (it gets old), Control-freaks, People that always complain about everything, People that think they know everything, People that try to make you feel bad when they don’t get what they want, I don’t like smokers but I’ll get over it if I like you enough, I think it’s really gross though.
Lyrics
Only Everytime
Sweetness...
You're always on my mind
You're always with me everytime
You said you look so innocent
Sitting there with your mind already set
Waiting for the moment to make your move
And only everytime
I'm dying to be with you
Just like the first night
that we kissed
And I can't believe you fell to me
When I open my eyes I hope you're still there
And I can't wait to see what's to be
What's to be of you and me
Sweetness...
You're always on my mind
You're always with me everytime
You said you look so beautiful
With your hair aligned so casual
But you don't even know how much
And only everytime
I know that you're the one for me
With "I Love You's" to Spare
I would do anything for you
Don't ever forget
I'll always be there
With "I love you's" to spare
That I whisper in your ear
So elegant and passionate
So delicate, sincere
And we'll waste our time
As time slips by
And we'll lay awake
As morning came
But it's just a dream
As I'm torn between
Should I wake her up?
Should I let her sleep?
And I'm talking to myself
"I wish I could kiss your lips"
"I bet I miss you more than ever"
I would do anything for you
Don't ever forget
I'll always be there
And if you don't believe
You're everything to me
Forever, I swear
And your eyes look like spring
But your lips taste like summer
So I'll be your king
A tale of two lovers
But I'm still waiting for my kiss tonight
I'm here for anytime you choose
I would do anything for you
Don't ever forget
I'll always be there
And if you don't believe
You're everything to me
I promise, I swear
The Definition of Insanity
He's chasing the girl...
She's getting away...
I wonder if...
She even knows how much he cares
...just a little
And she turned him down a million times just because
But still he tries...
As hard as he can...
Because he's in love
...and it hurts
When you say...
"Hello, Goodbye, You're nothing in my eyes"
And every time its the same
Today is just like any other day
Wait... Okay, It's Over
So let me float out into the sea
And let me drown in the blood that I bleed
And all the lies you told from the start
And all the time spent falling apart
...was worthless
And the next morning
I hope you wake from dreaming of me
And wondering if...
If it could have been if you stayed
But it's okay, I'm better off
Anytime you'd call, i'd hang up
And I wouldn't take you back if I had the chance
And only then would you realize...
So let me fall from the top of the mountain
And let me fall all the way down
And all the tears you faked from the start
And the time right before I hit the ground
And I hope the next day
You feel so lonely in your own special way
And wondering if...
If it could have been if you stayed
Oh, it's okay, I'm better off
Anytime you'd call, i'd hang up
And I wouldn't take you back if I had the chance
And only then would you realize
You were the worst thing that ever happened to me
But it's all for the better
We were never meant to be together
And just like the beautiful weather
In the sky tonight...
It's over
Yeah, it's over
Oh, it's over... wait... alright
Yeah, it's over
Yeah, it's over
The Little Things Left Unsaid
I rose to the sound of your voice in my head...
And when I realized that you were gone...
I couldn't wait to see you again
And if fairy tales are as true as can be
Then just this once I'd like to see you with me
And when you go
I'm left all alone
Cause you're the only one
Whose beauty's completely whole
And we'll talk for hours
About nothing at all
But that's okay
Cause it's better than none at all
I've fallen once again
Would you catch me?
And so many things left unsaid
You're perfect
You're perfect to me
Hearts on Display
Counting the days, counting the number of ways
And the reasons why I could die in your arms tonight
...And it would be alright
Because... I'd be with you for a few seconds
And hours they seem like days of the week
...Turning into years
Replaying the thoughts of you over and over
Or until...
So I'll call, soften the fall from heaven
You fell into my arms, caught me off guard
And you're all I can think of
...And you'll always be with me
And I can't wait to see you again
Maybe time will stop, or so we'll pretend
Then I'll walk you to your front door
And I'll ask to see you again
And you'll say, "sure"
And everytime you walk away
My hearts on display
Sweet Dakota
Oh, Sweet Dakota, I wish you were here
You’re missing the perfect day of the year
The birds are out and the sun is shinning
Still it’s incomplete 'cause inside I’m dying
Oh, Sweet Dakota, I want you to know
If you were here it’d be so perfect so
Everything aligns with the perfect timing
It’s so perfect outside but inside I’m dying
It’s a holiday in a paradise
Don’t know about you but it feels all right
I know it sounds sort of ordinary maybe
But I wanted to share this moment with you baby
Oh, Sweet Dakota, I’m so sad to say
I’m home right here...
...and your so far away
I’m telling the truth but I wish I were lying
It makes no sense 'cause inside I’m dying
Oh, Sweet Dakota, I want you to know
If you were here it’d be so perfect so
All the stars align with the perfect timing
It’s so perfect outside but inside I’m dying
It’s a holiday in a paradise
Don’t know about you but it feels all right
I know it sounds sort of ordinary maybe
Maybe we could share this day together
Just maybe…
Small Town Tragedy
This silence is deafening through the shallow walls
A streak of sunlight comes through the curtain that’s suppose to be shut
Trapped in for the outside for my own good, forgetting which month it was
The memory’s trapped away in the corner covered in dust
This silence is definitely starting to...
Broken glass shards up and down or so they feel
The start of words on the tip of my tongue forming slowly
And they’re stuck in the back of my throat and they’re starting to get lonely
And every time that I try to find something better to do
I’m always stuck here with you
And then just this once I wish that I could touch
But it’s gone to my head and I’m left here for dead
And this silence is definitely starting to get to me
Stuck in a small town tragedy
It’s just my little coma
Based on a True Story
You can drop me off here
I'll be safe for the night
Watch your eyes swell with tears...
From what's held up inside
Your face feels so cold
But I have to go
I wish right now that you're never alone
And maybe tomorrow, be a brand new day
I wouldn't take back, I wouldn't have changed
One single second that we spent together
I'd love you to death if you let me forever
And I can't remember anything else
Your lipstick, your laugh, the way that it felt
As darkness falls, you're my light in the dark
I'm falling in love
I'm falling apart
But I don't care about that
As long as you write back
It over for now it sounds or so I tell myself
..
