All songs were played, recorded and mixed in an old apartment in Barcelona by Tiny Ruins and a Singer of Songs, during one week in July, 2010. Little Notes was mastered by Jim Bob Aiken. The artwork was achieved using coffee and a childrens’ paintset in southern Italy, where Tiny Ruins was based for some time during the second half of 2010.
Your purchase of the physical album also includes an immediate download of the 6-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.
We're running through the night,
Coat-tails flying in the streetlight,
Down the hill,
To catch the boat,
To the other side.
We're running through the night,
Always running out of time,
My pillow is my old brown coat,
We're two sea rats on this swollen boat,
Because there's no time left to take -
No more - as we go by the sun,
And the stars feel like ours
This morning,
As we walk out the town.
Picked up by a baker
On the skirts of pretty Nelson,
He was almost home.
He turned around, reminded of,
All of those who turned around.
So I sat with his dog on my knee,
And his baby beside me,
While he told you about his wife,
So much sadness in his eyes.
Because there's no time left to take -
No more - as we go by the sun,
And the stars feel like ours
This morning,
As we walk out the town.
And now as I descend,
And all the noise is in my head,
You pull me through,
Because I am rich when I'm with you -
When you’re by my side.
Oh, running through the night,
Catching eyes in the moonlight,
We’ve got all the things we need,
All the things we’ll ever need.

Written by H. Fullbrook (Tiny Ruins).
Played, recorded and mixed by Tiny Ruins & a Singer of Songs in Barcelona, July 2010.
I sing songs in the bathroom. In packed and empty venues. In gardens, sheds and churches. Once in a weird Finnish gym and
also in the oldest house in Switzerland. On a boat and in a bus and in a horse farm. In noisy Italian bars and spookily silent Belgian rooms. On my own and with people.
I sing songs and if you want, you can listen....more
Benjamin Shaw is a tender genius. He tends to hide from the world, but last year he came out once to play his first live show in many years. The result is extraordinary... a Singer of Songs
Max is mucho more than a musician. He's a writer. He's a rambler. He's a wise man. And he combined all this in an album every home should have. a Singer of Songs

Stumbling upon Tiny Ruins felt like when I first stumbled upon Leonard Cohen in my late teens. The lyrics, the music, the voice come together in a unique melancholic and tender delivery. Loving it! that.bowl.of.petunias

This is first album in a long time I've bought before even listening to the whole thing. Front to back, this is great for those cloudy autumn days. SinkoiSunshine
