“Too Many Ways To Live” is a swirling pop song, but with a deeply introspective lyrical lean.
“Too Many Ways to Live” is a song about the beautiful, chaotic pressure of possibility. I wrote it during a time when everything felt wide open and uncertain, and I kept imagining a hundred different versions of myself but couldn’t commit to any of them,” the singer shares. “We grow up hearing, ‘You can be anything you want,’ but no one tells you what to do when you don’t know what you want. How do you spend your time in this short, precious life? That question haunted me for a while, and the only way I knew how to process it was to write it out.”
He finishes, “What came out was a mess of thoughts, contradictions, and little moments of clarity. The song is funny, anxious, and honest. I wanted it to feel like a 2AM conversation with your own mind, spinning between dreams and dread, curiosity and fear. In the end, it isn’t about finding the right way to live. It’s about accepting that maybe there isn’t one, and somehow learning to be at peace with that.”

After one listen, it would be easy to assume Ryan Woods fell from the heavens and landed smack dab in the middle of modern pop music and culture. He defies genres and eras with an otherworldly je ne sais quoi. Flaunting a sky-high range and head-turning fashion sense, Woods exudes a swaggering gusto befitting of your favorite ’70s rock star, yet he opens up with a level of candor decidedly intrinsic to Gen Z. Musically, he laces D.I.Y. pop with psychedelic experimentation and existential ruminations that are both provocative and catchy. Initially, he gained traction with covers on social media, even inciting a retweet from Shawn Mendes. Woods has cultivated his signature style by logging countless hours in both Nashville and Los Angeles sessions. “Bad Texter” was a breakthrough moment in 2021 — reeling in over 28 million Spotify streams and counting, it paved the way for his King of the Basement EP. Now partnered with Fearless, Woods is ready to bring his dreamy compositions, which are so much more than bedroom pop, to an even wider audience.
