Rick Lee Vinson Group – July Newsletter
July is here, and it's bringing some of the most personal songs we've released yet.
First, thank you. Every stream, every share, every message reminds me that these songs don't belong to me alone — they belong to all of us who find a piece of our lives inside them.

This month brings two new releases, each built around the same idea — that nobody's story is as small as they think it is:
AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL
What happens when the famous one writes the song — and a stranger becomes the star? This one's about a letter that crosses the distance between a superstar and an ordinary fan, and the moment he realizes it was never really a distance at all. You don't have to be famous to be unforgettable. You're already a star.
THE GIRL ON THE BENCH
Some regrets don't announce themselves — they just sit there, quiet, waiting at a bus stop long after the bus is gone. This is a song about the distance we build ourselves, and what it costs to look back and see it clearly.
COMING SOON — NEW SONG
We've been back in the writing room on something we're calling "The Girl in the Lighthouse" — a song about being the steady light somebody keeps finding their way home by. More on that very soon.
More music is on the way.
And as always — thank you for being part of this.

That's a completely fair place to land. You did the actual work today — three pinned comments driving real traffic to the new song, a description update in progress — and hashtags being duplicated once is not worth more of your morning.
Leave it as is if you want, or if you want the two-second fix: just delete the second #Americana #CountryMusic #SingerSongwriter #OriginalSong #AnAmericanOriginal #StorytellingSong #CinematicMusicVideo #NashvilleMusic #IndieMusic line and hit Save. Either way, you're done here.
Good — that closes the loop. Three pinned comments now point accurately to where the song actually lives, and the description has the Spotify link. That's a real, solid push for "An American Original" with zero extra tools and no notification blast to the zombie subscribers.
You're done for today.
Investigated tool's social media post capabilities
Looks like it's mid-process — it's already past "Uploading your video" and now on "Reading your content," with "Preparing your content" still to come. That's normal; Riverside's Co-Creator has to actually analyze the full video before it can find clip-worthy moments, so this can take a few minutes for a 375MB file.
Once it finishes, it should surface a set of suggested 9x16 vertical clips (typically the highest-energy or most quotable moments) that you can review, trim, and export individually — which would map straight into your existing Vizard workflow for IG/TikTok/Shorts once you're happy with them.
Want to just wait it out and see what it gives you, or are you testing this as a possible replacement/addition to Neural Frames + Revid in your pipeline?

This month we're focused on what matters most — storytelling, honesty, and connection:
I SHARED A DRINK WITH THE DEVIL A cinematic spaghetti western showdown. A lone rider, a shadowed figure, and two men standing at the edge of something irreversible. The song never tells you who won. It doesn't have to. This one was built for the screen — and the right people are starting to notice.
SCARED TO MAKE IT INTERESTING What if the only thing standing between you and something real is fear? This one lives in that fragile space where someone wants to let you in but can't quite get there. The last one left a scar. But honey, I ain't him.
COMING SOON — NEW SONG We've been in the writing room, and something special is taking shape. A song about winning without ever knowing you won. About the guy who showed up every day and somewhere along the way realized the game was never about the trophy. More on that very soon.
We're closing in on 100,000 subscribers. To everyone who's been part of this journey — and to our friends in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina — gracias. You keep showing up and it means everything.
More music is on the way.

This month brought four songs worth your time:
EVERYTHING HURTS Sometimes the truest thing you can say is the simplest. Everything Hurts is one of those songs that doesn't apologize for where it goes. Raw, honest, and built from a real place. If you've ever carried something you couldn't put down, this one's for you.
YOUR LITTLE SECRET WAYS Something new happened with this one — a female voice entered the room for the first time. Warm, intimate, and told from her point of view. New listeners are finding us through this song, and that feels exactly right.
HORSESHOES AND HAND GRENADES Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. This is a song about love on the brink — that fragile space where forever and losing it all feel exactly the same. Honest, reflective, and straight from the heart.
I SHARED A DRINK WITH THE DEVIL A cinematic showdown. A lone rider. A shadowed figure. Two men standing at the edge of something irreversible. The song never tells you who won. It doesn't have to.

This month brings a new release and a continued focus on what matters most — storytelling, honesty, and connection.
FOREVER AIN’T ENOUGH
A song about the kind of love that doesn’t run out of time — the kind that stays, even when everything else changes. This one comes from a very real place, and I hope it finds one in you.
BEERS LOOKING AT YOU
On the other side of the coin, this one brings a little humor and a lot of truth to a night we’ve all lived. Sometimes it’s not the plan that sticks — it’s the moment, and what you take from it.
We’re also seeing something exciting happening — listeners from places like Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina are connecting with these songs in a big way. It’s a reminder that real stories travel farther than we ever expect.
A nuestros amigos en México, Brasil, Colombia y Argentina — gracias por escuchar y ser parte de esto.
More music is on the way.
And as always — thank you for being part of this.

This season has already been full of powerful releases:
LITTLE BIRDS
A reminder that sometimes the smallest voices carry the greatest truths. Little Birds is about quiet strength — about the way life keeps moving, singing, and surviving even when the world feels loud. It’s a song about resilience in simple form.
HORSESHOES AND HAND GRENADES
Close doesn’t always count. This one dives into the space between almost and forever — the near-misses in love and life that shape us more than we realize. It’s honest, reflective, and straight from the heart.
WALK IT BACK
Some things you wish you could take back — words, moments, decisions. This song lives in that space, where reflection meets regret, and where understanding sometimes comes just a little too late.
More music is on the way.
And as always — thank you for being part of this.
