About Arlo:
Gifted singer-songwriter Arlo McKinley released his debut solo record at age 40 on John Prine’s Oh Boy records - after he almost gave up on music altogether. McKinley’s album, Die Midwestern, is deeply rooted in street soul, country, punk, and gospel and draws on personal stories, set against the backdrop of his hometown of Cincinnati Ohio. McKinley recorded ten remarkable songs - some dating back fifteen years - all penned with a weight, honesty and gritty-hope that comes from living in the rustbelt city where his songs were born. He pursued a solo career from 2014, with his own band The Lonesome Sound and achieved some success including a nomination for Album of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and Best Americana Act from the Cincinnati Music Awards, but his career stalled and he almost gave up altogether, “I don’t know why the world works the way it does but I’m beyond grateful to be in this situation.” McKinley stated, adding, “ I’m a little wiser in my ways and a 20 something me would’ve found a way to destroy the one dream that has stuck with me my entire life. Being a working musician.” Arlo McKinley is the last artist John and his son Jody signed together to their label Oh Boy records.

Lyrics:
Everyone’s talking but no one is saying a thing
It was all that I knew how to do to help comfort the pain
With my drunken solutions
At least for a moment they’re gone
Pretending that everything’s fine
Knowing damn well it’s wrong
Still I don’t want no one to tell me what’s right
I’ll make up my own mind
My own mind tonight
The ghosts that still haunt me
I’ll fight one by one
Till the hurtin is done
I hide from anxiety
I never stay hidden for long
Learned to self-medicate
And how to wait until the panic is gone
So I hide behind smiles
And whatever else gets me through
I’m not knowing what’s waiting for me
Or what I ought to do
Still I don’t want no one to tell me what’s right
I’ll make up my own mind
My own mind tonight
The ghosts that still haunt me
I’ll fight one by one
Till the hurtin is done
No we don’t want no one
To tell us what’s right
We’ll make up our own minds
Our own minds tonight
The ghosts that still haunt us
We’ll fight one by one
Till the hurtin is done
Till the hurtin is done
