By Small Ruin - Rolling Thunder
By Small Ruin is a rock music projected created by Bryan Mullis. We have previously covered By Small Ruin’s track, “Like Heaven”, a touching and admiration filled song; through that experience, we learned that By Small Ruin is an anagram for Mullis’ life as a whole and he uses his music to vibrantly describe his life. Today we take a listen to another exceptional track from By Small Ruin, “Rolling Thunder”.
Despite its lyrical content, “Rolling Thunder” is a grounded and honest take on love songs, blending elements of radio friendly Indie and pure rock together to create an easily enjoyable soundscape. An up-tempo track, “Rolling Thunder” has a lot of uplifting energy to match the lyrical meaning which will really help you buy in to the message. “Rolling Thunder” has the excellent melodic sensibilities I have come to expect from By Small Ruin and this track was stuck in my head for hours after listening. This song is a powerful testament to the incredible music that By Small Ruin is making and a truly enjoyable experience.
After listening to “Rolling Thunder”, I have an even greater appreciation for By Small Ruin than before and I believe this band is doing impressive things worthy of greater attention. Keep up with By Small Ruin through their website or on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We have embedded “Rolling Thunder” below for your listening pleasure but you can also find the track on SoundCloud and YouTube. We also have the lyrics to “Rolling Thunder” below the Spotify player below!
“Rolling Thunder”
When I first met you I was not ready
Your love was something much too heavy
My mind was shifty, hands unsteady
But I opened up, you broke my levee
And now I swear
I like what I see
Your arms wrapped 'round me like
Rolling thunder, rolling thunder
You come right over like rolling thunder
Sometimes I wonder how it happened
How someone like me could keep you laughing
Love letters on a paper napkin that you wrote
This thing is more than I could ever have imagined
And now I swear
Your eyes see through me
My heart on my sleeve
Time will tell
But I like what I see
Your arms wrapped 'round me like
Rolling thunder, rolling thunder
You come right over like rolling thunder
Rolling thunder, you cloud all others
Like rolling thunder, rolling thunder
When I'm with you that's all that matter
I love your moves, you got that swagger
Can't wait to get to the next chapter
Of this story book happy ever after
And now I swear
Your eyes see through me
My heart on my sleeve
Time will tell
But I like what I see
Your arms wrapped 'round me like
Rolling thunder, rolling thunder
You come right over like rolling thunder
Rolling thunder, you cloud all others
Like rolling thunder, rolling thunder
