Mike Skill of The Romantics New Single - "Not My Business"

Los Angeles, CA. – Mike Skill, founding member and principal songwriter of The Romantics, is releasing new, incredible solo tracks including, “Not My Business”, coming your way April 24, 2020. His new music digs into his Detroit roots and adds his years of experience to the mix.

“Not My Business” was written by Mike Skill (guitar/ bass/lead vocals) with Brad Elvis (The Romantics & Elvis Brothers) on drums and Chuck Alkazian on keyboards/vocals. Additional guitar Ricky Rat (Dead Boys & Trash Brats), back- up vocals Rich Cole (The Romantics) and Meridith Lorde.

Skill says, “Not My Business” is about someone having everything they need, but throw it all away because at the time they are beyond help.”
Mike Skill first picked up a guitar at age 13. Through his over 50 years of experience with the instrument it has become second-nature. With his guitar, Skill’s lyrics and chords have become icons of popular culture and transcended generations of listeners.

“Not My Business” was produced by Grammy Award winning Producer/Engineer Chuck Alkazian (Pop Evil, Soundgarden, Tantric) at legendary Pearl Sound Studios (Asking Alexandria, Eminem, Filter).

lyrics

Not My Business By Mike Skill Skillsongs
One day you're gonna fall down on your face
Your friends will all be gone without a trace
And daddy won't be there to catch your fall Square one won't look bad after all
And now you're lookin' out for compromise
Expecting me to stand and share your lies
Well it's not my business
No it's not my business
It's all about you, don't mean a thing to me
And now you're on your own, you seem to lose your way
While doubt and chaos rule your drama play
And the time we shared made for one long ride
And now I know I can't rearrange your mind
Knockin' down another compromise
Up all night with your hopeless alibis
Hey it's not my business
No it's not my business
Well it's all about you, don't mean a thing to me
No it's not my business
No it's not my business
Not a thing I can do, don't mean a thing to me
The wolves are baying, got you up against the wall
Trust funds waiting, and you're broken now
You lost your will cause poor's just not your style
An evil path for high society's child
Wondering where have the good times gone
Facing life will only make you strong
It's not my business
No it's not my business (not my business)
It's all about you, don't mean a thing to me
I know it's not my business
No it's not my business (not my business)
Not a thing I can do, don't mean a thing to me
I know not my business
No it's not my business (not my business) I
t's all about you, don't mean a thing to me.....
