Summer Break

Dræm Girl

Close my door––don’t touch my stuff 
And whats for dinner––that’s not enough 
And if you call me in the afternoon 
I’m obliged to call you soon 
But I wont call you I’m with my friends 
You can see me once the day will end 

My mommy wont let me eat breakfast in bed 
She don’t think I will clean, Ill just make a mess 
To be completely fair I’m just a big mess 

Buy me clothes and keep me warm 
Ill never thank you––since I was born 
And if you call me in the afternoon 
Im obliged to call you soon 
But I wont call you I’m with my friends 
You can see me once the day will end 

My mommy wont let me eat breakfast in bed 
She don’t think I will clean, Ill just make a mess 
To be completely fair I’m just a big mess

Breakfast In Bed

Pretty girls, 
They never notice ugly boys like me 
Even if I wear my heart on sleeves 
They always seem to put me down 

Pretty girls 
They always seem to bite so hard 
Even when I say don’t play 
Insists that I will stay till dark 

Its okay 
I don’t much care 
For the kempt hair 
That’s just all looks 

And if you say 
That you do care 
What people stare 
Then that’s how you look 

Pretty girls 
They always want to be alone 
But everyone time their by themselves 
They always tell me help yourself 

Pretty girls 
They never deal with sadness well 
And never think about their joys 
That’s why they need ugly boys 

Its okay 
I don’t much care 
For the kempt hair 
That’s just all looks 

And if you say 
That you do care 
What people stare 
Then that’s how you look 

Hey there baby I just wanted to let you know that 
Its pretty hard being so damn pretty 
And whenever you feel sad and blue 
Just know that I am the one watching you while I sleep 
The one that feels your tears drip down to your pillow 
And hears all your dream nightmares and inhibitions 
You pretty pretty girl

Ian Ruhala, better known as HALA, has been writing and recording music for several years now and at the
young age of 18, he is already a singer/songwriter veteran.
 
With several releases already under his belt, even before graduating high school, Ruhala has created some
buzz with his solo, at-home/DIY recording style that relates well with music from artists like M. Ward,
Mac DeMarco and Travis Bretzer.
 
After attending college at Central Michigan University for a semester, Ruhala’s mind was more on lyrics than
on school-work. Writing over sixty songs during this time period, Ian decided to fully immerse himself into his passion to manufacture his first proper debut, Spoonfed.
 
The meaning behind Spoonfed, as Ruhala explains, is about dealing with the things and ideas that people feed you when you are young, and trying to do your best to not repeat the norm. Songs like “Phone Calls,” and
“Not Your Modern Man” discuss topics like marrying young, and society’s fear of face-to-face interaction
with each other, with lyrics that you will be surprised to find out, came from an 18 year old kid from Michigan.
 
Every song on this album tells a story; heart-break is talked about in the ironically upbeat song “Reruns,” and the track “Just Because,” shows HALA’s appreciation for the simple things in life, with the line, “Sunday morning, Dad’s at home, watches football and paints his toes, will I ever be?” One thing is for sure, it is extremely refreshing to see someone so young be able to produce something of this magnitude; Ruhala’s future is bright.
 
Get your bowls, and a spoon, because this Indie singer/songwriter says, "breakfast is served."
