Life is Just a Dream - by Ruth

Hey; so - don't give up on me just yet, 'cause I haven't given up on this blog & songs yet. I've just had a number of random things coming work & a bunch of work to be done...
But nonetheless; I do look forward to the new album from this band.
Ruth is from Battle Ground, WA.  The band formed in early-mid 2000's after lead singer/guitarist Dustin Ruth (for whom the band is named after) gave up the life of partying & drugs that came after forming a band before this one.
When deciding on a name for the band Ruth, Dustin & fellow guitarist Nick Wiinikka were discussing the potential of simply naming the band after his name - Ruth.  Upon further discussion, it came to mean more than just his name - a representation, of sorts, resulting in it also being an acronym: 'Return Us To Him' ("Him" of course, referring to God).  Ruth's label debut album (this after 2 independent EP's) "Secondhand Dreams" was released in 2007 on Tooth & Nail Records, where they remained for their next release, "Anorak" in 2008, & their "The Covers EP" in 2009. Since then, they've gone independent, & have since had their upcoming album "Payola" picked up by the MTV label.
This song is from "Payola".
