Producer: Jack Rutter

I could use a good dream tonight
Or even just some sleep
But I'm held by a conscious mind
And a fear of what darkness brings

The sun lights my past like summer
While the night hides the road ahead
And my eyes don't know which to choose
So they'll stay, turn back in my head

We hid in your car for days
Told you I wanted for nothing
Then my wants all turned to needs
And my needs all turned away

I play these keys for hours
With my dog sitting at my feet
She's not here 'cause she likes the sound
She just wants me to pick her up

Just give me a time and a placе
And surely I won't make it
But tell mе to stay away
And surely I'll be there

No such thing as a winnable fight
And if someone had told me earlier
Then maybe I wouldn't be here
Maybe I wouldn't be so tired

[Instrumental Outro]

Ritt Momney (originally called the spooks) is the indie solo project of Salt Lake City native Jack Rutter.

Under the name the spooks, Ritt Momney released their first single, Cold, which gained popularity in the hallways of Highland High School in Salt Lake City, Utah in the spring of 2016. The original members were Jack Rutter, his now ex-girlfriend Lindsey Lloyd, and friends Auden Winchester, Hank Thompson, Zach Olson, and Chris Kearl.

Beginning as an indie rock band comprised of high school friends, the project became a personal outlet for Rutter after his bandmates left on Latter-Day Saint missions and his girlfriend left for college. In his bedroom, he began writing, recording, and producing his upcoming debut LP, entitled “Her and All of My Friends,” in which Rutter grapples with loss, loneliness, and his drift away from Utah Latter-Day Saint culture. Nowadays, the band’s members often come and go, leaving Jack Rutter at the center of it all. Besides Rutter, there is no ‘official’ set of band members.
