Rock Ferry

from Rusted by Mike West

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Rusted' is the debut EP of Mike West.

    LIMITED PHYSICAL COPIES AVAILABLE and FREE POSTAGE

    'Rusted' was recorded 'live' using three microphones and one take at Kingwood Studios to get the best possible recordings of these songs. If Robert Johnson can record some of the greatest songs ever made using one microphone in a hotel room, I can sure as hell create a 5 track record that I can be proud of with a similar approach.

    These 5 songs that make up 'Rusted' took hours of jamming, creation, production and fine tuning along with playing live across Liverpool and Chester and then 2 sessions of recording to capture the right feel and vibe intended for this record. After all these hours of creation and devotion, all I ask if for 18 minutes of your time.

    Can you dig it?

    Includes unlimited streaming of Rusted via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I'm not ashamed of where I'm from.
But I ain't exactly proud.
That young mother on the corner,
I think we used to hang around.
But as I've gotten older.
I can't remember now.

Most I forgot on purpose.
Rest I forgot with time.
Goddamn class of '07.
Wasted youth branded lies.
I'll make it out if it kills me.
I'll see the other side.

As I drive through this memory.
Of what a town's supposed to be.
Boarded houses, broken windows.
Reflecting parts of me.
This is where I was born.
But it's not where I'll die.

That's the funny thing about life.
That is always goes on.
No one gives damn where you're going.
Only where you come from.
We're all haunted by our pasts.
The ghosts that won't leave us be.
Dragging us down to dilapidated tombs.
Disguised as Rock Ferry.

This is where I was born.
But it's not where I'll die.
