All The Time(Dreaming).Demo

On this road 
I tread alone 
Longing for a love
I've known
Restless soul 
In a world so cold

Josiphine you're a dream
Sweet Josiphine you are the moon the stars
The moon the stars
  
Like a ship in a stormy sea 
I'm lost in the waves 
Do I crave a certain touch
That's not within reach

Josiphine you're a dream
Sweet Josiphine you are the moon the stars
The moon the stars

YOU'RE A DREAM

Come On

Open Opportunity

What's Yours Is Mine

RUN TO YOU

WRITTEN BY: IAN RUHALA
ALL INSTRUMENTS: IAN RUHALA

I’M GOING TO MESS THIS UP TONIGHT
LONGING FOR THE WAY
THAT YOU COULD PUT ME IN

IT’S A TERROR AND A FRIGHT
THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE
I THINK I’M GIVING IN

LOVE
LOVE IS ALL I NEED
MARY SAY YOU’LL BE WITH ME

‘CAUSE I WOULD RUN TO YOU
COUNTRY GIRL TAKE IT FROM ME

I WOULD RUN TO YOU
LONELY WE WILL SURVIVE

I REALLY FUCKED IT UP YOU’RE RIGHT
LOOKING FOR THE WORDS 
THAT I COULD SACRIFICE

I’M GOING TO LEAVE IT ALL OUTRIGHT
A CREATURE OF COMFORT
A HABIT DESIRED

BUT, I WOULD RUN TO YOU
COUNTRY GIRL TAKE IT FROM ME

I WOULD RUN TO YOU
LONELY I WILL SURVIVE

MAYBE CASTLES IN THE SAND
SURROUND YOU

LATELY ETCHES IN OUR TIME
ARREST TOO
A REST TOO

I WOULD RUN TO YOU
COUNTRY GIRL TAKE IT FROM ME

I WOULD RUN TO YOU
LONELY WE WILL SURVIVE

ALL I NEED IS YOU
ALL I NEED IS YOU…

Run to You

Juan Alban and Hap Hayward got together on a series of school nights in late 2008, to see if they could write some songs together. Having been part of The Bridgey days (Bridge Mall Inn music scene of the 90’s and beyond in Ballarat) in their respective bands (Epicure, Dead Salesmen), the two decided to collaborate in the extended wake/aftermath of those heady days. They wrote a smidgeon of half-songs together, with Juan supplying music and Hap the words. The sessions were taped on a small recorder and put in a box somewhere and forgotten about. Kind of. Hap used the most complete song, Went Down Fighting in his lyric book Songs About You in 2012. Fast forward to 2023 and Juan and Hap got together to ‘finish off’ and record the song, adding more
lyrical, melodic and textural elements under the guidance and skill of producer Cam McKenzie. A frail little acoustic sketch is now a full-blown electrical storm. The song is about loss and standing up for that loss in some way, with certain people no longer around to do so. It all seemed a bit tentative and perhaps a little too melancholy at the time (even for these two!) but fifteen
years later, it has been given more fire and ‘straight-backed’ urgency. Went Down Fighting was a whispered creation once - a mild little thing in that half remembered lounge room session -almost apologizing for its very existence! Now? Nah. After all this time: Play it loud!

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!
