Music from the Heart

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. 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. „Memories“ 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

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

The opening track Gettin' By has some striking lines such as " There are many things in life that I regret like  selling my guitar just so I can pay the rent..."

The entire track carries a positive tone suggesting that things are not as bad as they seem and everything can be dealt with as long as you are happy in life. And most importantly, never give up on your dreams because they keep you going.

There's a bittersweet sentiment in I Can't Live Wihout You. Nostalgy combined with heartache and everything covered in love. On the contrary, Summer Love stands up to its title, there is a warm feeling of sunrays on your skin throughout, laced with a romantic flame that may or may not last.

Balsam Tree embodies everything a true relationship should be about - companionship, understanding, care and respect but also freedom that each human being needs in order to be happy.

The trademark sound can be found in all tracks, might sound similar after a while but just on the surface.
