Summary

Ryan O’Neal is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter, producer and composer who makes music under the name of Sleeping at Last. His music is often heard on TV and Film (Grey's Anatomy, The Twilight Saga, Ellen, The Fault In Our Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Criminal Minds, Bones, Ads for Budweiser, Mercedes and more). After many years of making full-length albums and touring, Sleeping At Last began writing long-form series of songs.  He is currently working on the final chapter of his Atlas project, “Atlas: III” (25+ songs inspired by voluntary human development - what we do with all that we’re given). “Atlas: I” contained 30 songs inspired by the origins of the Universe. "Atlas: II" explored the theme of involuntary human development throughout 25 songs, including 9 inspired by The Enneagram of personality.  In 2016, The Sleeping At Last Podcast began, in which Ryan explains the process and inspiration behind his music, one song at a time.  Visit SleepingAtLast.com to learn more!

Hey Ryan thank you so much for joining us on the podcast and for the three people that

0:13.9

don't know you already tell them that they've been actually listening to your music all

0:18.4

along. Tell us what's about you. Thank you so much. First of all thanks for having me

0:22.4

Bob. I always love talking to you. My name is Ryan. I make music under the name Sleeping

0:27.2

Outlast and I've been doing that for a long time now and yeah sometimes my music gets

0:33.1

used in TV shows. Sometimes it gets used in just people's lives and I feel really grateful.

0:38.5

You've actually ended up a couple unlikely places. What were the ones who is it? Grey's

0:44.6

Anatomy? Yeah, Grey's Anatomy has been so sweet to me in my music. They were some of

0:49.2

the very first. It's probably the second or third TV show ever that would use my music

0:54.7

and then they just kept doing it. I was honored to be a part of the really sweet commercial

1:06.6

for Budweiser at the Super Bowl several years back so I did a cover of the 500 miles song

1:13.2

and this is really cute puppy and horse commercial. It's fun. That's one of my favorite

1:19.5

things. It didn't quite make the television real but for the people listening to this

1:24.6

1:37.5

for gosh more than a decade. Yeah, I can't believe it's been that I'll make. Thank you

1:42.0

seriously. It was such an honor to be a part of that wedding too. I was very nervous

1:45.2

that I would ruin the wedding but it worked out. It all worked out. You're not like a typical

1:50.9

musician in your craft. What you do is you set these very aggressive schedules from

1:57.8

time to time to get songs out. Tell us about how that works. I think the people that know

2:02.9

your work are all about that but for the people that haven't experienced that yet, tell
