RYAL, the synth-pop duo, has made a powerful return with their latest track, "Keep Me in Your Sight." This song serves as a heartfelt tribute to Lawrence “Larry” Waxman, a cherished mentor and friend who passed away from Alzheimer’s two years ago. The duo channels their grief into this poignant piece, aiming not only to celebrate Larry's legacy but also to shine a light on the profound effects of Alzheimer’s on artists, friends, and families.
The haunting words vividly describe the sorrow of watching a loved one fade away into someone who you recognize, but who may not necessarily recognize you. RYAL beautifully intertwines themes of steadfast love and bittersweet reminiscence, leading us hand-in-hand to reflect on our own relationships and the impact of those who’ve left us.
Through vivid imagery, the lyrics contrast the harsh realities of decline with glimmers of hope for clarity and cherished memories, but the purpose of "Keep Me in Your Sight" goes beyond mere remembrance; it is a call to honor Larry's influence and the lessons he imparted throughout his life.
In a philanthropic twist, the song will be available exclusively on Bandcamp for a limited time, with all proceeds going to the Larry Waxman Art Changes Life (LWACL) Scholarship. This initiative honors Larry's commitment to nurturing young artists, ensuring that his spirit continues to inspire future generations.
Ultimately, RYAL's "Keep Me in Your Sight" exemplifies the transformative power of art. By intertwining their musical expression with a charitable cause, they ensure that Larry's inspiring influence remains alive, touching the hearts of many while supporting a noble mission. This track stands as a reminder that those we love live on through what we do to honor them.
