Backstory:
Babyish Machine started as a group of high school buddies from the small town of Bristol, Rhode Island, who decided to turn their shared passion for music into something more. The original members of the band, frontman, Jack Pike, bassist, Ethan Noble, and drummer, Sam Wilson, fused their diverse musical tastes to form a unique sound. They started performing at local venues, and steadily, their fanbase grew. Later, they added a female voice, Allie Mitchell, to the mix, solidifying their sound and identity as a band.
The group’s name, Babyish Machine, was coined as an ironic nod to their youthful start and the industrial town they hailed from. Despite their humble beginnings, Babyish Machine have become a symbol of resilience and innovation in music, never afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of their creativity.
Genre:
Babyish Machine’s music can be best described as Indie Rock with a hint of Pop. Their sound is a myriad of melodic guitar riffs, solid bass lines, punchy drums, and a blend of masculine and feminine vocals that convey raw emotion.
Title:
“Rusty Hearts”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Rusty hearts in an [Em] old town,
[C] Living dreams and [D] chasing sunsets down.
[G] Memories traced on [Em] our skin,
[C] The echoes of where [D] we’ve been.
(Chorus)
[G] We are the rusty [Em] hearts,
[C] Bound by the story [D] we start.
[G] We dance in the [Em] rain,
[C] And love through the [D] pain,
[G] We are the rusty [Em] hearts, [C] [D]
(Verse 2)
[G] Tattered dreams on [Em] the roadside,
[C] Holding on to [D] what we’ve got inside.
[G] We’re young, we’re wild, [Em] we’re free,
[C] We’re the echoes of what [D] we used to be.
(Chorus)
[G] We are the rusty [Em] hearts,
[C] Bound by the story [D] we start.
[G] We dance in the [Em] rain,
[C] And love through the [D] pain,
[G] We are the rusty [Em] hearts, [C] [D]
(Bridge)
[G] And in this old town, [Em] under the stars,
[C] We’re just trying to mend [D] our rusty hearts.
[G] Bound by the story [Em] we start,
[C] Forever the echoes [D] of who we are.
(Chorus)
[G] We are the rusty [Em] hearts,
[C] Bound by the story [D] we start.
[G] We dance in the [Em] rain,
[C] And love through the [D] pain,
[G] We are the rusty [Em] hearts, [C] [D]
