All My Life (New Single Mix)

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."

What Is Love? Tell Me, Is It Easy?

You come around playing with my heart 
You come around telling me secrets 
You come around asking me why I've been such a fool 

But I'll take it back to the start 
Back to when it was something new 
Change, it comes around, with its reflections too 

It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through 

Slide your way on over baby, 
light the cigarette 
stacking up in between your teeth 
yeah, no regrets - baby I said 

It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through 

Woo 

It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through

Threw My Love Away

LYRICS

With the grass so green
Sun coating everything
That day felt a lot like walking through a dream
And with the sky so blue
We snuck into the church at school
To play a song while no one else was watching us

With the sun so bright
Walking side by side
Let me tell you that nothing ever felt so right
And with the sky so blue
A feeling in my heart strings grew
It was then I knew that I would fall in love with you

So blue
Sky so blue
So blue
Just like a dream

I can see those skies clear in my mind
Frozen in time, frozen in time
Like a scene I picked from my dreams
I can’t tell apart from reality
I hope that I can find my way out
Before I get caught in fantasy world
And get too wrapped up in what it could be
Back on my bullshit, I’m such an Aries
So I break down, stuck in my doubts
Jump too far in just to fall out
Things aren’t the way I thought them to be
There’s so many miles still set forth for me
Hop in the car, take the top down
And when we get out, drive it around
Clouds part ways and now I can see
The sky is blue above me

Sky So Blue
