By Small Ruin is an anagram for Bryan Mullis, keeping his music and lifestyle as true to self as possible.
The incredible brand new single from ‘By Small Ruin’ is entitled ‘Take Me With You’ .
Bryan Mullis talks about the story behind the song saying “This song was written after catching up with an old girlfriend online. We spent a few days messaging back and forth when I realized we had inadvertently moved beyond surface-level chit chat. Suddenly, I was 17 again and ready to go wherever she lead”.
Busking since high school, the college dropout has made his way across the country playing to anyone who listened. His talent and dedication lead to sharing the stage with artists like DAWES, WILD and Briston Maroney.
As a teen, one of Bryan’s favourite activities with his friends was climbing water towers and hanging upside down from the top by only their knees.
Bryan was notorious for doing what he wanted, when he wanted, including sneaking out of his parent’s house and hitch-hiking a 10-hour ride to Florida to surprise his girlfriend on the beach.

More recently, Bryan’s brother almost lost his life in a car accident. Dealing with those feelings inspired his musical journey that brought him unforetold adventures.
He often tells the story of being attacked in a convenience store which:
“lead to a full-fledged movie-like fight that included knocking over shelves and throwing beer bottles. The store was destroyed.”
From waking up to SWAT teams thinking the band’s van was owned by a nearby active shooter, to unexpectedly playing a nudist pool party of 100+ people, BSR’s thrilling lifestyle is certainly rendered in their music and performance.
The brand new single ‘Take Me With You’ from ‘By Small Ruin’ is out now.

LYRICS SPECIAL – TAKE ME WITH YOU – BY SMALL RUIN
I got your DM tonight
Gotta say it took me by surprise
Cause my lips haven’t said your name in years
That old pic took me back as well
Thoughts of loving you and raising hell
Don’t know why you want to stroll down memory lane But hey
Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you
Cause right now you’re messing with my head Take me with you
Now you gotta take me with you
Don’t leave me dreaming by myself Up late here we go again
I see you typing and I start to grin
I’ve been wondering what was on your mind all day
These little sessions are a crazy drug
You got me glowing like a lightning bug
The trip put me on is such a world away
I have to say Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you
Right now you’re messing with my head
Take me with you Now you gotta take me with you
Don’t leave me dreaming by myself
You keep on hinting Might be pretending
I’ll play along even if it’s just fun
Don’t keep me waiting
Stop hesitating I hope this convo’s not a hit-and-run
We lost touch just out of school
And I forgot about the golden rule
Wanted you to call, but never called myself
So point a finger and I’ll take the blame
Glad to hear you’re done with what’s his name
Don’t know how I ever let you slip away But not today (pause)
Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you
Right now you’re messing with my head T
ake me with you
Now you gotta take me with you
Don’t leave me dreaming by myself
You keep on hinting Might be pretending I’ll play along even if it’s just fun
Don’t keep me waiting
Stop hesitating
I hope this convo’s not a hit-and-run
