Myles Kennedy really shines as a solo artist. The stuff he writes completely on his own (music, lyrics, arrangements) is by FAR his best work. Sure he's great with Alter Bridge and pretty good with Slash and the Conspirators, but when he does his own thing and writes just for himself, then we get something truly special. He'd be AMAZING as a solo artist, doing tours in small venues, just him and a guitar. His acoustic sessions are his best performances, because they allow him to more easily interact with the crowd and speak with them and play off of their energy. He's got this extremely personable and intimate personality that really makes him shine as a solo artist.
Dude, I remember listening to this and seeing this comment around the time you posted it. I thought the exact same thing. Here we are a few years later and I have my tickets to see him on May 25th. It’s a tiny venue, acoustic...I can’t believe it! I’ve been waiting so damn long for this. It’s going to be an incredible night!
That's the first time I have heard this song. Absolutely stunning. I think they need to release all of The Mayfield Four recordings in a deluxe edition.
Something says that today's the day The one I hoped would never be Consumed like candles we have burned away We can't shine anymore The burdens of the bond to be broken Hang over us like a cloud But still we try to stop the rain from pouring So don't promise me Not a single thing Open wounds from the drama of lost moments Rubbing our mercy to ease my pain But sympathetic remedies have a way of doing Much more damage in the end So don't promise me Not a single thing These efforts to console are better left unsaid you know so Let it fade away my friend this Mercy rub just needs a start Just don't promise me Not a single thing Not a single thing Not a single thing
Wow! Thank you so much for posting! I'm a big MF4 fan from their Fallout tour. I never heard this tune and it is beautiful! Thank you so much for posting this!!!
THANK YOU. It appears to be all there. It took me months to find it again after I lost my files so I'm glad that it was put up here. Don't know why it was never an official release, some of his best vocals are in this tune. Very erotic.
“Something says that today’s the day, The one i hoped would never be. Consumed like candles, we had burned away, Now we can’t shine anymore. The burdens of, the bond to be broken, Hang over us like a cloud. Still we try to stop the rain from pouring. So don’t promise, not a single thing. Open wounds from the drama of lost moments, Rubbing on mercy to ease my pain. But sympathetic remedies have a way of doing much more damage in the end. So don’t promise me, not a single thing. These efforts to console, Are better left unsaid you know so. Let it fade away my friend, This mercy rub just needs a start. Just don’t promise me, not a single thing. Not a single thing, not a single thing.”
Hey Pal, My Name is Cesar, I'm from Lima - Peru, I wonder, if you could send the track "mercy rub" myles K, to my mailbox. i will be in eternal debt for if u can. I will be looking forward to ur answer. Thanks.
+mat hut MF4 is too unique. But don't worry Myles' solo project is coming, and he said people who heard it said it sounded like MF4. I hope so, MF4 is probs my favorite band tied with AB.
