Backstory:

Filthy Push emerged from the vibrant music scene of Downtown Boston. The band was formed in 2013 by four friends: lead vocalist and guitarist, Jack Clayton; bassist, Vince ‘The Slap’ Russo; drummer, Ricky ‘Rat Trap’ Johnson; and keyboardist, Mikey ‘Fingers’ Finnegan. They started out playing in various local clubs and pubs before eventually catching the eye of a talent scout, which catapulted their careers. Their music is a reflection of their raw experiences, gritty urban life, and the power of friendship.

Title:

“Bleeding Hearts and Broken Strings”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] She walks in through the [D] smoke and the mirrors,
[Em] Draped in a world of [C] dreams and tears.
[G] Face like an angel, [D] heart like a stone,
[Em] She’s got the kind of love that [C] chills to the bone.

(Chorus)
[G] Bleeding hearts and [D] broken strings,
[Em] That’s the song the [C] city sings.
[G] Lost souls on [D] broken wings,
[Em] That’s the dance of [C] kings and queens.

(Verse 2)
[G] Strumming my pain on the [D] strings of life,
[Em] Fighting the strain, cutting [C] through the strife.
[G] She dances in the darkness, [D] lost in the night,
[Em] Her eyes are the stars, her [C] smile is the light.

(Chorus)
[G] Bleeding hearts and [D] broken strings,
[Em] That’s the song the [C] city sings.
[G] Lost souls on [D] broken wings,
[Em] That’s the dance of [C] kings and queens.

Testimonial:

“I’ve been a fan of Filthy Push since they were playing in crappy dive bars. I love their raw energy and honesty. They’re not trying to be something they’re not. Their music speaks to me and helps me get through tough times. “Bleeding Hearts and Broken Strings” is an anthem for people who are down and out, but refuse to give up. Filthy Push is my favorite band because they’re real, authentic, and their music hits you right in the gut.”
