Show me how you care, 
Tell me how you were loved before 
Show me how you smile, 
Tell me why your hands are cold 

I’m turning around, 
I’m having visions of you 
But then I understand 
The friend I’m dreaming of is far away 
But I’m here... I’m here 

Show me how you’re proud, 
Tell me how you reach the moon 

My thoughts err away tonight 
My heart fell to love again 

I’m turning around I’m having visions of you ( 
But then I understand 
The friend I’m dreaming of is far away 
And doesn’t feel my love 
But I do... I do

A little something I threw together last night, hope you enjoy! :)

Lyrics:
I ain’t write you no happy song
I just don’t often have those thoughts 
Can’t put my feelings into words 
Only thing that comes out is what hurts

But baby you make me feel alright 
With your voice you can ease my mind 
Yeah we don’t click but that’s just fine 
You’ll still always be my sunshine 

Do you need a reason for my love, girl
I can’t tell you words but they don’t ever work 
You need to 
Take the time to, realize that 
I can’t read your mind  
Yeah I can’t always tell you what you wanna hear 

But I’ll admit that I ain’t the best 
At letting my heart out of my chest 
But now you know that
 
You make me feel alright 
With your voice you can ease my mind 
Yeah we don’t click but that’s just life
You’ll still always be my sunshine

SO LETS DANCE, LETS DANCE MOTHERFUCKER
LETS DANCE MOTHERFUCKER LETS DANCE

TURN THE KEYS AND START THE CAR 
BULLETS FLYING LIKE SOME SHOOTING STARS
HANDS UP BETTER REACH THE SKY
BETTER NOT MOVE OR YOURE GONNA DIE BITCH

BOY YOURE FUCKIN WITH DISASTER
PULL OUT THE BLADE THEN ILL KILL YOU RIGHT AFTER
DAMN YOU COULDVE RUN FASTER
PRAY TO THE PRIEST BUT I KILLED THE FUCKIN PASTOR
FIGURE OUT WHAT SIDE YOURE ON

AND IM STARTING TO THINK THINK THINK

BOY YOURE FUCKIN WITH DISASTER
PULL OUT THE BLADE THEN ILL KILL YOU RIGHT AFTER
DAMN YOU COULDVE RUN FASTER
PRAY TO THE PRIEST BUT I KILLED THE FUCKIN PASTOR

THEN THE HAMMER SLAMS
MY LIFE WENT AWAY FOR A YEAR OR TEN
CAME BACK HOME AND MY BROTHERS GOT JOBS 
SHAKIN HANDS WITH THE FOOLS WE ROBBED

LIKE FUCK, GUESS ILL START A NEW CLIQUE
YALL WEAK MOTHERFUCKERS MAKE ME SICK
SO I LOADED MY PISTOL AND WENT OUT AGAIN
ALL OF MY FRIENDS WERE POLICE MEN

SO I RAN RAN RAN TILL MY LEGS GAVE OUT
SHOT IN THE BACK THEN I HIT THE DAMN GROUND
THE SKY GOT DARK AND RAIN GOT COLD
THE PIGS ALL LAUGHED AS MY FATE UNFOLD

ONE BENT DOWN TO ME AND SAID
BOY YOURE DONE FUCKIN WITH OUR HEADS
YOU SAID KILL MOTHERFUCKERS THAT CROSS YOUR PATH
I SHOULDA KILLED YOU YEAH I WISH I HAD BITCH

BOY YOURE FUCKIN WITH DISASTER
PULL OUT THE BLADE THEN ILL KILL YOU RIGHT AFTER
DAMN YOU COULDVE RUN FASTER
PRAY TO THE PRIEST BUT I KILLED THE FUCKIN PASTOR
FIGURE OUT WHAT SIDE YOURE ON
IF YOU KILL SHIT THEN COME ALONG
PUT YOUR GUNS UP ITS THE CRIMINAL SONG
WHO THE FUCK CARES IF ITS RIGHT OR WRONG

CRIMINAL SONG (PROD. BMTJ)

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!
