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:
This could be the most beautiful thing
That I’ve ever seen
The way the moon creeps into this room
And shines on your skin
As you look down at me

And my heart is rusted
I’ve been broken and I’ve been busted
But if you can tell me that I can trust it
Then maybe this heart could love once again

You say your eyes put fear in mens’ lives
Well maybe that’s true
But not for me
Cause it’s love that I see
When your arms round my neck and I’m holding on to you

My heart is rusted
I’ve been broken and I’ve been busted
But if you tell me that I can trust it
Maybe this heart can love once again

Will I be everything that you need
I’d like to see
Where this road goes nobody knows
I’ll be patient with you please be patient with me
And my heart is rusted

Yeah I’ve been broken and I’ve been busted
But if you tell me that I can trust it
Maybe this heart can love once again
