By Small Ruin - Like Heaven
By Small Ruin is a rock music project created by Bryan Mullis. The band is an anagram for Mullis, with his music and lifestyle matching up and therefore allowing By Small Ruin’s music to always come from a genuine place. Overall, By Small Ruin creates some enthralling rock music that is full of spirit. Today we take a listen to By Small Ruin’s wonderful track, “Like Heaven”.
“Like Heaven” is an upbeat rock song that features a very positive vibe. Instrumentally, the track features quick tempo with the bass and lead guitar work doing plenty of high quality heavy lifting. Vocally, “Like Heaven” features an extensively catchy melodic approach to both the verses and chorus and these melodic choices help the song become instantly memorable while also aligning with the emotions presented by the lyrics. The lyrics feature a great deal of love and admiration for the singer’s special someone and reflects on how wonderful she is to him; I found this admiration-filled approach to the lyrics to be the highlight of the track.
Bryan Mullis wrote “Like Heaven” to express how finding that special person made him a better person and I feel as though this song expresses those feelings and that message brilliantly. By Small Ruin has a lot to offer in terms of an excellent sound and a distinctive soundscape. We have “Like Heaven” embedded below via Spotify for your listening pleasure and you can find the track on YouTube and SoundCloud as well; we also have the lyrics to “Like Heaven” below the Spotify imbed so you can follow along while listening and understand exactly what the message of this track is!
“Like Heaven”
I know I don't compare
Not in a million years
You are a queen and I'm a pawn
But I want you for my own
It feels like heaven when you're here
How 'bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you're better than I am
You won't let me fall down
Was living on the edge
Now I hang with you instead
You helped me find that higher law
You broke the cycle and I'm forever grateful because
It feels like heaven when you're here
How 'bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you're better than I am
You won't let me fall down
The heart you bring to everything
Your light can thaw frozen ground
You made me feel like a king
I woke up wearing a crown
Think back to when we met
And something that you said
You said I could do great things
I started to agree
You got me to believe
It feels like heaven when you're here
How 'bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you're better than I am
You won't let me fall down
You're just like heaven
