Michael Lane - Don't Hold Back (single)
If there is one modern folk pop artist who has seen the harsh realities in life, it is Michael Lane himself. Sent to Iraq and Afghanistan as a US soldier in his twenties, Michael was
forced into cruelty and to face the ugly. If his previous albums were like a kind of musical diary in which these experiences were processed, one notices that with his new album,
Michael Lane regained lightheartedness and joy.
„Don’t Hold Back“ is a message of hope and the positive certainty that a time of crisis and reflection will lead people back to the important things.
Successes such as two top 50 songs in the German charts, four albums, international tours and the single "Liberty" as the official song of the Four Hills Tournament 2015/2016 made
the German-American famous. Several songs have already found their way onto Spotify, Apple Music and TIDAL editorial playlists, and are featured by well-known tastemakers such
as Alex Rainbird Music, Starbucks Playlists and Double J Music. In addition to his work as a musician, Michael Lane is currently also active as a songwriter for Production Music and as
a music producer in his remote "Studio Waldblick“.
New single "Don't Hold Back" explores the complexities of love and life's deeper questions. The song encourages embracing love fully, without fear, and trusting that the universe will guide us. It reflects on the joys and sorrows in relationships, using imagery like stars and the sun to symbolize hope and light. This piece is a reminder to cherish our connections and find peace in the journey, believing that everything will work out in the end.“ - Michael Lane
Dreamy intro calms everything down and installs the serene and peaceful mood. Lane's delicate vocal sings in a consoling way, having that power of making the listener feel special. The entire track carries a peaceful vibe with the hope and belief in a good ending. An ideal soundtrack to the late night, to the time where the chaos stops and there's more time to think, to reflect.
" Where do we go when we die
My heart it breaks when you cry
I see the stars in your eyes
See you later but never goodbye "
