This is Michael Mixerr. Today I am going to review Mike Hale - Lives Like Mine released on Suburban Home Records out of Germany. This album was released in 2009 & 2013 on CD, vinyl and digital download.
The first track is the title track (Lives Like Mine). What’s left to say when you no longer become necessary? That’s when your world comes caving in. Hate doesn’t make the night less colder when there is evil afoot. The more evil you become the more you soul starts to crumble inside. Just what are you contemplating? You see failure in your eyes from the sounds of your own foolish disguise.
Indigo Blues is a sad Heartbreak Hotel love song. Our path has broken so now must go our seperate ways. Your heart longs for things I didn’t say. Like I was wrong. We won’t be fine honestly. These words will echo today. All love is lost and astray.
Eager To Die is just one of those heartbreaking suicidal songs similar to those sorrowing compositions written by blues songwriter Tom Waits. Eager To Die is a fucked up delusional song about losing touch with reality. The composition Eager To Die has the feels only way deeper than the Monday Morning Blues. Other than that, this track is so eery. Not to mention brooding. If you loved and lost like I have, then you know about the pain inside. You’ll know about the painful feeling inside.
Red Tide is a fucked up delusional song. Losing Ground is about losing touch with reality. How To Walk Away is an instrumental track.
The album cover and artwork design has artistic elements of abstract art, mosaic art, stained glass art, surrealism, sepia, and monochrome. The mosaic art I am referring to is very similar in contrast to the memorial works you see at churches and government institutions.
I rate this album, Lives Like Mine, 4/5****.
