There was nothing like the feeling of getting to see one of his songs go from start to finish. Hayes was one of the producers he knew personally, and it meant the world to him each time the guy invited him into the studio to watch him work. It was even better because Hayes knew which songs were Ry's, and that meant he got to watch them come to life well beyond a songwriting studio or demo phase.

They'd just been wrapping up a recording session for a song he'd written with a lesser-known artist from out of state, and Ryland had watched Hayes work his magic to really bring the song to a new level. "I'm not exaggerating one bit, Hayes," Ryland said as the song playing in the headset he was wearing came to an end. Pulling the headphones off, he continued. "You're seriously a magician. It's insane, I am pretty sure your brain is made of unicorn dust or something. Whatever turns normal brains into magic ones, that's what you've got up there."
