Mikey Ball & The Company Release Video for new single “The Morning”
on July 19th, 2022 at 19:27and announce Album Launch Show in October
Bournemouth based rock band ‘Mikey Ball & The Company’ release the lead single from their much anticipated new album Through The Night. “The Morning” is inspired by a story of a hidden relationship and how that pulled at the composure of the characters included. Written during the last of the lockdowns, this song took shape quickly and embedded itself well into every show since live music returned. The track itself captures the youthful energy of infatuation as it drives from restrained verses to the full-on choruses. Mikey, Chris, Dean and Will have been playing together for the last four years. Taking influence from the legendary Bruce Springsteen; up to the more current wave of Rock bands such as Deaf Havana, the band has a unique sound encompassing everything great about rock and roll.
“The Morning” shows the band thoroughly relishing the work that the four of them have put in these last two years, developing the band’s new sound direction and chemistry. Mikey and Chris’s guitars both jostle for our attention, while the rhythms efficiently generate the songs background backbone. Mikey’s final vocal along with some impressive harmonies is the proverbial cherry on the top of this fine infectious creation; which is a welcome hors d’oeuvre, until we can get our hands on the album “Through The Night” in October. The band has arranged a special album launch show at Canvas in Bournemouth on 7th October with special guests Myriad.
About
Formed in 2014 Mikey Ball & The Company first came together to bring to life the songs of principle writer Mikey Ball, through the years they have evolved through line-up changes until 2018 when they settled on the current line-up. Each evolution had its influence on the sound and stylings culminating in the high-energy rock sound the band has today. Boasting passionate and energetic live shows that are always made unique by the band’s chemistry on stage, 2022 saw the band seclude themselves away for a week to record their new album. A collection of songs with themes of escapism, lost love, loss of youth and finding identity at the core of the infectious chorus’; thundering drums, rock-solid bass, and expressive guitars. Pure heartfelt Rock music.
The Morning lyrics
How did we get so entangled, And yes stay far apart, When you know you could tear me down, When you take aim on my heart. So I’m sitting in the front seat, Killing time until you see me, Under the cover of darkness, I see truth in all this madness.
Coming in from the cold when I get that call, And the sinking hits me without warning. It’s so easy to say you’re tired of being alone, Will you still be there in the morning
So I stand in the picture with you, And no one would have a clue, What goes on behind closed doors, Could become something so much more.
Coming in from the cold when I get that call, And the sinking hits me without warning. It’s so easy to say you’re tired of being alone, Will you still be there in the morning
It don’t matter what you say, because your eyes tell a different story, There comes a time for the truth and truth’s just what matters to me. Draw a line in the sand as the world starts closing in, You want to run again and again like it’s some kind of sin.
Coming in from the cold when I get that call, And the sinking hits me without warning. It’s so easy to say you’re tired of being alone, Will you still be there in the morning
