Michael Lane – Moment (2020)

There are times when you just need to let go and live your life to the fullest. If you need a song that captures the energy of these times, look no further than ‘Moment’ by Michael Lane. Using an emotional and atmospheric soundscape, he considers the beauty of life itself. He also looks at how life is too short to focus on the things that you cannot change.

The official music video brings this sentiment to life with easy to watch visuals and storytelling. Drawing on his own experience of the harsh realities of life, Lane uses folk-pop sensibilities to help his listeners. If you need a push to embrace the present moment, Lane is here for you with this single.



The gentle guitar-driven opening of ‘Moment’ lightly draws you into the song. Lane’s vocals hit as this wonderful layer of folk goodness. There is an airiness to his vocals that lets you float along to the song. This airiness creates an atmospheric feeling to the track like a breeze lightly wafting over your skin. The soundscape has a wonderful beauty to it that helps the emotions of the lyrics shine as you look at the beauty of the world. The flow of the performance lets you slow down and appreciate the present moment.

The melody is a light touch in the background. The soothing guitar-driven music is like a lightly trodden path through the woods. It leads you where you need to go, but allows you to appreciate the vocals and emotions the song invokes. There are a lot of good vibes resting in the melody that are just waiting for you to breathe them in.



The official music video brings the idea of appreciating the present moment to life. Following two children playing in the woods, the video is easy to watch. It also makes you want to get out into the woods and have some fun. The idea of appreciating the beauty of the present comes through in the enjoyment the children have.

Michael Lane encourages us to live in the moment and appreciate the beauty of the present in his new single ‘Moment’. The gentle folk song gives you a chance to take a step back and live in the present instead of constantly looking to the future. The official music video brings this idea to life through the enjoyment of children in the woods.
