"My Way" was the last song Mick & I recorded in Los Angeles before moving to Knoxville, Tennessee in 2017.

I've always loved this song. Both the version Frank Sinatra recorded in 1969 and the infamous Sid Vicious version from "The Great Rock "n" Roll Swindle" in 1978.They are equally cool and contemplative for different reasons. I wanted to record it for reasons of my own. Although I was inspired by both of the male artists who previously recorded it, I wanted to make it mine with a female empowerment vibe.

From the spoken word intro to the screams, I love the raw in your face confrontational reality of it's feminine brutality. I think Mick captured the essence of the original but felt the same way musically as he made it a My Ruin song with his signature Southern metal heavy riffs and unique arrangement.

While band members have come and gone, at the core, My Ruin has always been the two of us.The heart & soul and we continue to remain strong. "My Way" was the last song Mick & I recorded in Los Angeles before putting our band on our self imposed "hiatus" and moving to Knoxville, Tennessee in 2017. In the end, it was very cathartic and emotional for both of us.

We hope you enjoy our new album which we released on Valentines Day (as a gift to you as we celebrate our 20 year Anniversary) as well as our new video which I created to accompany it

lyrics

MY WAY
-----------

And now...the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends...I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain
I’ve lived...a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it... My Way

Regrets! I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did...what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned...each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more...much more than this
I did it... MY WAY!

There were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off, more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it...MY WAY!

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed, I've cried
I’ve had my fill...my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all just so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it ...MY WAY!

What is a girl...what has she got
If not herself, then she has not
To say the things...she truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows...I took my blows
And did it ...MY WAY!
