Details
This new and improved album is dedicated to my royal friends and people who deserve respect, even if they do not consider me as a friend. Each song is written and composed completely by Kevin O'Ryan. Written from the heart and soul, each song presents a unique feeling and sentimental meaning to them. Some may not have lyrics, but a song does not need them to express what it truly means.

Song Dedications
1. Techs of the Croft (Sam Philips and More...)
This song is about the amazing and talented, Sam Philips. I met this lad at Foxcroft Academy through some good friends of mine. However, this song takes on many meanings! Not only is this song about Sam, but also my friends from Foxcroft Academy such as: Maygen Havens, Alex Thomas, Caleb King and so on...
Along with its style, its themed after technology. Which, all in all, really expresses the true meaning and feelings I had when I was around them.
Sam has earned this dedication for always being there for me and my family, even during the rough times of my life. He has a huge heart and a strong ambition and to not dedicate a song to him would be dishonorable! Sam, your truly the best and I thank you so much for all that you have done for me!

2. Marine Lane (Darien Lane)
This song is more, unique and challenging! It was my first attempt at making a Military themed song, which sounds more like something out of Toy Soldiers than anything! This song is dedicated to Darien Lane, a young lad who's dream is to join the military and succeed on supporting his country. So this song HAD to have a theme to it, which I must say, I think I did "okay!" -- Don't you think?
Anyways, Darien has truly earned his dedication because he is just amazing! Always supported me and cheered me along on my dream. I wish him all the luck and I hope that someday, he too will follow his dream! Good luck, Darien!

3. King of Magic (Salvador Perez)
This song is very special and AWESOME! This song is dedicated to my honorary brother, Salvador Perez! Sal has always been there for me like another brother of mine! I don't know what I'll do without him around!
I'm sure you're wondering why the song is titled the way it is? Well, it's because, Sal, is also a huge Magic fan. You know? The card game, there? Yeah, that's his thing and I just couldn't pass up the idea for the song to be themed after it -- Well, sorta!
So anyways, with all my love and respect -- This song deserves it's rightful place on this album. Thanks for being my other brother from another mother, Sal!

4. Da Fisher! (Steven Fisher)
Yes, a song dedicated to Steven Fisher! Of course!! I couldn't make an album about my friends without my best friend? Hell, not even the title was safe! Anyways, Steven is one hell of a friend, always been there for me and always supported me. Not only that, but he would even join in and help me achieve my goals.
The theme is wacky and adventurous, because it is just who Steven is! Duh! Really, though, Steven deserves this dedication because of his dedication to being a great friend! Even through times when I was being ridiculous, he still stood by my side and accepted me for who I am! So, Steven, you keep doing what you're doing and I just make a song about you! M'kay?

5. Brit Strings (Daniel Martin)
This song is dedicated to my friend from across the pond, Daniel Martin. Daniel has been a huge supporter of mine, who actually inspired me to even start composing! If it wasn't for him, I'll probably still be making small games and staring at a wall on down time. But now, I have so many fans and amazing songs -- That I actually composed!
The theme is pretty much like his own, but with an electronic twist. Orchestral/Electronic -- Yeah, this will sound bad-ass!!
Anyways, I know you have been busy Daniel, but I will still check up on you, just as you will. I hope your composing becomes successful and thank you for the inspiration and support! Cheers!

6. The Gagnon Way (Marshall Gagnon)
Yep, this song is dedicated to Marshall Gagnon -- in case you couldn't tell! Marshall, like Darien, has always supported me and also cheered me along. In fact, he even helped build The Unsung Prophet with me, which is an incredible work in progress!
The theme is again, wacky, but with a dance-like counter-part. Marshall was always known for his wacky spirit and always wanted to just goof off -- Basically, that's just his whole life right there!
So, wherever you are Marshall, I wish you luck on your future and I do hope to see you again someday!

7. Wacky Anime Kid (Andrew Knowels)
Ah yes, the Wacky Anime Kid! This song is dedicated to Andrew Knowels. I know I haven't been the greatest friend, but this kid is a better friend than me in an hour! He always shows support and is always willing to help make things better! Also, he has wicked good ideas and does very well on using them -- He's also wicked good with the guitar!
In fact, it was Andrew that helped me land The Synthing Gales, which put me where I am now! Without that, I don't know how things would of came to be. So in a way, this dedication is GREATLY deserved!
So, Andrew, thanks for doing what you did and helping me become DJ K-ManZ in the first place. I will always cherish your ideas and use them in the future.

8. Together as One (Hunter Dvorak)
This song is dedicated to Hunter Dvorak, who is a royal and amazing friend. Although the path may have been bumpy in some areas, he held on and continues to support me today! Hunter, like Andrew, also helped build the foundation of DJ K-ManZ by landing The Synthing Gales. Also great with the guitar, Hunter has taught me much and always tried to keep things in order. He also taught me how to play the guitar a little -- which, kinda worked... My figures weren't made for guitars, okay?
So, I leave all my hopes and wishes to you, Hunter! I know you're going to college soon and I can't wait to see you land a career and become a successful illustrator! You have always supported me and I'll will forever do the same for you!
We are Together as One!

9. The Very First Royal (Travis Radcliffe)
This song is actually dedicated to my First Friend, Travis Radcliffe. Which is why the title is the way it is.... Yeah!
I couldn't make this album without dedicating to Travis, I mean, he was my first friend -- Ever! Starting from Elementary and up, Travis had always accepted me and followed me thick and thin. Even if I was -- Unique... He still stood by my side. He was never afraid of what the others said or thought and continued to support me.
As the years went on, things did thin out a little -- but, soon the pieces fell back in place. He never did forget, or at least -- not 100% I know as he got older, he may have acted a little more and may have tried to make it seem like he didn't remember a whole lot, but I know why. No matter what, though. He still continues to show his support and still stands by my side, not caring what the others think to this very day!
So, in the end, I thank you! You will always be remembered as my first friend and I too will forever stand by your side, for you never let me down! Cheers!

10. Veillette's Rune (Kyle & Josh Veillette)
The Veillette Brothers, the most dedicated friends I know -- from Video Game characters to Book characters, Kyle and Josh Veillette have always been a great part of my life and have probably the most dedication out of all my friends.
Starting from my first year living in Portland, I met Josh in one of my classes. I was afraid to actually meet him, because at first, he looked -- kinda scary and I didn't hear the most friendliest stories about Portland. However, I was stupid to think so, because they soon became a part of my family. The Protectors, we called them. Not joking, they were always there for me and my siblings and even protected us from "Dangerous characters" within the city.
They had shown the most support for me and even helped me create what will become great things in the later years. Kyle and Josh Veillette, truly deserve all their dedications! So with this, I thank you brothers for all that you have done! I wish all the best to you two and Kyle, I hope you graduate with flying colors!
