Mick started his musical journey thanks to his enthusiastic and supportive music teacher in high school. Since then, he has performed countless gigs at college and uni, developing his stage presence and lyrical prowess. “I have always listened to music, everywhere I go it’s part of me and will always stay with me.”
Mick Rawlings stuns with a wholesome, relatable and thrilling single ‘Where The Wild Hearts Go’, about leaving the past where it belongs, in the past. This classic/indie rock track sounds like it could be straight out of a classic teen coming-of-age film; with its innocent, youthful and free undertones, you’ll find it very hard to complain when this is on your playlists!
Rawlings has a great passion for music, stating that he finds a lot of comfort in the making of songs. As mentioned, this track is about forgetting past mistakes and regrets, and never letting them stop you from living life to the fullest. Dwelling on the past is something we can all do from time to time, and I believe we could all learn a little something from the lyrics in ‘Where The Wild Hearts Go’. Rawlings hand-carved the feeling of freedom, excitement and brighter days into this track, and it is extremely clear just how much of a buzz he gets from the creation of music just by listening to his discography.
