BALLADEER (lyric video) - Jeff Lane
Balladeer - Jeff Lane (original song)
#ballader #jefflane #jefflanemusic #jeffsgarage
I like to tell the stories behind the songs when I do showcases, so I'll do that here. This song really goes ...out to all the other bar and "background music" performers out there who just like me have had many occasions where you're just there singing and pickin' your guts out and there's nothing coming back to you from the audience. Sometimes there's even barely any audience at all and the 5 people in the place are at the bar watching the game. Nonetheless you took the gig and you're doing what you gotta' do to get through it. That's where this song comes in to play. This song is about those "good places" you travel back to in your head that you rely on when things ain't awesome on stage. Fishing with Dad, remembering your Momma' smoking cigarettes at the kitchen table, you know... all the good stuff 🙂
LYRICS
Floating in silence - on a hot July day
Learning to be still - as the morning slips away
Poised like a Herron - Daddy perches on the deck
Fishing while the sunshine paints a ring around his neck
My old man showed me where to go to rinse my mind clear
Growing up like that made me The Balladeer
Smoking cigarettes at the table where we ate
in our house the kitchen was prime real estate
Mama played her Bob Seger records, our carpet was grass green
we'd sing all the words to Hollywood Nights thru the Famous Final Scene
I didn't know where I would end up, I just took it year by year
Growing up like that made me The Balladeer
I never thought I'd wind up here at midnight on this stage
with a tab to close and one night's pay laying in my case
When they turn the lights on, it's the end of another day
I close my eyes and I go back ... from where I came
This guitar is a time machine that runs on cheap draft beer
I guess that's why these barflies call me The Balladeer

Some of you might not know this but I have a band. But it's not just a band. It's a collaborative of brothers who turned me into what I am ...today as an artist.. They helped me with everything.... my stage presence, my guitar playing, my confidence, my style.... they influenced my overall brand. These dudes encouraged me and slapped me around when I needed it.... When I released my first record, I was scared to stand in the middle of the stage at shows, so Matthew stood there for me until I could figure it all out in my head. Quentin shared secrets with me that he learned the hard way in Nashville to save me time on my late start (this started when i was 40). When I forget words to my own songs, they keep singing without me until I remember where the Hell I am and what the Hell I'm trying to sing. I feel like God gave me the best band in the World... It's a shame we don't get to play much these days, but I guess I just wanted all you guys to know how much I love Hundred Acres. I pray to the Lord if you like what I do that one day you get to hear what happens on stage when I have my boys. I decided to make a little video of a song we recorded a while back..... I wrote this many years ago, but it has always been a favorite of ours as well as the "Herdies"... it's called "Highway". I don't know why, but for a long time (years) I've been recording highway videos on my iPhone and this just made sense to me. Enough rambling y'all.... here's "Highway". I hope you like it - J

COLORADO SONG - Ozark Mountain Daredevils (acoustic cover)
#ozarkmountaindaredevils #coloradosong #jefflanemusic #jefflane
I remember seeing the Ozark Mountain Daredevils at a FUN FEST concert in Kingsport, TN when I was in ...grade school! Their opener was Nicolette Larson! Ever since then I've had that special sound of theirs in my head. I know a quite a few of their songs almost by heart and maybe one day I'll get to thank them for what they gave the music world.
This one always makes me feel good - I hope it does you too...
