Ryan Dsouza is back with a beautiful new song called “So Close but Never Near”. It’s a gentle piano-vocal ballad that captures that bittersweet feeling of being with someone you love, yet feeling miles apart. Based in White Rock, BC, Ryan once again proves he knows how to turn emotion into something truly moving.
From the very first notes, the song pulls you in. The piano feels warm and comforting, and Ryan’s voice brings every word to life with honesty and heart. The story behind the song is something many can relate to. As Ryan puts it, “Sometimes the loudest part of a relationship is the silence.” That line says it all, and it’s what makes this track so touching.
The song’s arrangement, crafted with pianist and composer Tony Dias, keeps things simple in the best way possible. Just piano, a few strings, and a little texture here and there. It feels like the kind of song you want to play late at night, when the world is quiet and you’re lost in your thoughts. There’s something comforting about its simplicity, and it’s that honesty that makes it special. To me, this is one of Ryan’s most heartfelt songs so far. It’s real, it’s warm, and it leaves a lasting impression. If you’ve ever felt close to someone but not quite connected, this song will hit you right in the feels.
Make sure to follow Ryan Dsouza on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Instagram, and definitely add “So Close but Never Near” to your playlist. It’s one of those songs that will stay with you long after it ends, and it’s a perfect addition for anyone who loves authentic, emotional music that comes straight from the heart.
