about

Ruth Unger Known for her earthy folk/soul vocals, Ruth Ungar co-fronts Americana quintet The Mammals with her husband Mike Merenda. When not on tour with their band and 2 kids in tow, they record and create near Woodstock, NY where they host a bi-annual music festival called the Hoot. Ruth's educational background is in theater, which accounts for her character-driven songwriting and vulnerable-yet-centered performance style. As a young child she was only exposed to traditional roots music and then was quickly launched forward thru the grunge era onto the East Village "anti-folk" scene of the late 90's where she and Merenda first met. Her parents are folk and country singer Lyn Hardy and fiddler/composer Jay Ungar (known for his tune Ashokan Farewell which was the theme for Ken Burns' Civil War series on PBS.)

lyrics

what is love without speaking?
when is silence stronger than words?
frozen in our hearts it’s frozen in my mind
tattered pictures
and all we leave behind

where do you go?
who do you cling to?
when nights get cold

what is the downfall
of our human nature
that makes us fall apart
that lets us feel alone

I walk the quiet path in the mountains
i hear your laughter dimmed by snow
and when the chill comes, i look for shelter
from the wind
and my restless mind

where do you go?
and who do you cling to?
when nights get cold

what is the downfall
of our human nature
that makes us fall apart
that lets us feel alone

ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh

ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh

and what is the downfall
of our human nature
that makes us fall apart
that lets us feel alone

and this is the downfall
of our human nature
everything breaks apart
and then we will feel alone
