Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed the Matthew Ryan Competition we ran a couple of weeks back, in which you could win your very own bespoke song.

We sent all the suggestions to Matthew, who writes:

These are beautiful ideas. I'm really arrested by how thoughtful these are. But something about the simplicity of #7 really struck me. I believe Jon wrote it.

Indeed he did. So congratulations to Jon, whose suggestion went as follows:

What should the song be about?
A professional wrestling manager agonising over telling his charge he has been chosen to lose.

In whose style should the song be written?
Hank Williams

Why should Matthew select my entry?
I'm a singer songwriter in my spare time and would like an obscure cover to put in my set that also relates to me, with a tidy anecdote: 'this was actually written FOR me...' to preface it.

So there we have it. Jon, we expect your song to be ready by early June.
