Baby

well i guess it's over 
you wish that you could keep her
there's no use in tryin'
cause she's gone
-
so let them go 
don't hold them  back again
-
just let it go
don't hold her back again-
-
so your old heart is achin
it's her that you've been missin
but there's no use in tryin
cause she gone's

Just Let It Go

Good Time

DIAMOND TEARS (FEAT. EMILY PARRISH)

WRITTEN BY: EMILY PARRISH & IAN RUHALA
ALL INSTRUMENTS: EMILY PARRISH & IAN RUHALA

SAW YOU AT THE FUNCTION
MAKIN’ YOUR ROUNDS
WATCHED YOU TAKE HER HAND IN
AND IT’S BRINGING ME DOWN
TRIPPED HEAD OVER HEELS
INTO THE DIRT
IF YOU CAN’T BEAR TO LOSE THEN
WHY DID YOU KISS ME FIRST

DON’T YOU CRY
OVER BOYS
THEY TASTE LIKE MILK AND HONEY
BUT THEY’RE SOON TO BE SPOILED
YOU CAN BUY YOUR OWN BEERS
NO BATHROOM STALL DESERVES
YOUR DIAMOND TEARS

YOUR DIAMOND TEARS
YOUR DIAMOND TEARS
YOUR DIAMOND TEARS

I SAW YOUR APPARITION
A STICK IN THE MUD
WALKED INTO THE PARTY
YOUR EYES WEIGHED A TON
TRIPPED HEAD OVER HEELS
RIGHT INTO THIS
IF YOU CAN’T BEAR TO LOSE THEN
WHY DID YOU KISS ME FIRST

DON’T YOU CRY
OVER GIRLS
THEY TAKE YOUR FILTH AS FUNNY
BUT THEY’RE SOON TO RECOIL
YOU CAN BUY
YOUR OWN WHISKEY
NO PARKING LOT DESERVES
YOUR DIAMOND TEARS

YOUR DIAMOND TEARS
YOUR DIAMOND TEARS
YOUR DIAMOND TEARS
YOUR DIAMOND TEARS

Sad World

Hala is the borderless alt-indie project of Detroit-based songwriter/producer, Ian Ruhala. Beginning as an at home, D.I.Y., recording venture in 2014, Hala has since released two full length records, one EP, and several singles. This includes; 2016’s, Spoonfed, which recorded in an attic behind the Motown Museum offered the bedroom pop breakout, “What Is Love? Tell Me, Is It Easy?.” 2018 brought the release of “Sorry,” a fun, jangly, pop piece, which flashed Ruhala’s guitar prowess at its pinnacle. Red Herring via Cinematic Music Group, would be Hala’s second proper full length, but it also marked the first time the recording outfit would shift into a professional studio. The album would become a “hodge-podge” of home recordings, and studio recordings, showcasing Ruhala’s genre-hopping capabilities, rendering songs like “Somehow,” and the caffeinated, but pop-centric number, “Why Would You Want Anything To Do With Me?.” Hala’s first release in 2023 brings yet another new chapter. Single “R.S.V.P.” is both heavy and danceable in an interesting juxtaposition. It also hints at Hala returning back to the more independent mentality in which it began. Look forward to Hala’s intensive release schedule throughout the rest of the year, and companion music videos as well!
