“I just grew up doing music. My mom used to have my brothers and me sing in church. I started playing the drums at 7. From then on I just couldn’t get enough. I learned guitar later on just so I could have something to sing and write with.”
Now as a Singer/Songwriter/Producer Blake has been turning heads since he began Music Full time in the summer of 2003. "By the time I graduated in 2002 I knew that there was nothing else I wanted to do than play my heart out for anyone who wanted to hear. To bring a new level of passion to the music scene that it had seemed to be lacking" And that’s exactly what He does. The passion that comes flowing from every heartfelt song is only maximized in a live setting.
For his latest effort "LOVE IN DIFFERENT LIGHTS" He teamed up with Grammy Award Winning Producer and Engineer Mitch Dane. The outcome is 12 songs that prove that this artist is going to be around a long time. There is a unique concept to the album that seperates it from many albums out there. Many of the songs were written in different places all over the nation and all over the world. As his fan base has now takin him globally, the songs have matured to a beauty that can only be described by listeneing for yourself.
Life lessons, love, and heartache: You can find a little bit of all of these on this record. “I think it’s just important to live life to the fullest…and then write about that. Give something that people can relate with and then I think you can make that connection that only music can make.”
From songs being played on XM radio, to performing in Prestige music conferences and Venues all over the nation it seems the small town boy is destined for greatness.
LAX
Blake Aaron Guthrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thought of you′t robbing all of my chances
To sleep till the plane starts to land,
Im starting to wonder, If your feeling the same
Could you be questioning all of my thoughts
And where this is all gonna end
Of what its like to let go,
So as darkness breathes todays last sigh,
Im wanting you to know
That I can't help im falling in love with you,
I don′t know what im gonna do,
Cause deep in my heart i know, i'll never be the same again
I try to reason, I'm finding it strange,
Now i′ve come to the moment where a lifetime of
Searching is right here in front of my face
Its simple and stunning, when you give up the fight
I find that i′m losing my indecision, of love in a different light
L.A has stayed, right in its place though it feels like its all turned around
It's the love the race, im losing my pace, you′ve turned my world upside down
I can't help im falling in love with you,
I don′t know what im gonna do,
Cause deep in my heart i know, i'll never be the same again
The song "LAX" by Blake Aaron Guthrie is a love ballad about a man who has just left the beach and is on his way back home feeling conflicted about his feelings for a woman in his life. The singer expresses his confusion about whether the woman he loves feels the same way or not. He mentions that the memory of her is robbing him of the chance of peaceful sleep on the plane.
As the song progresses, the singer confesses that he is falling in love with the woman, but he doesn't know what to do since he knows that he will never be the same again. The sunset and the darkness bring some clarity, but the confusion persists in his heart. He is struggling with reason and his feelings, and he acknowledges that he has come to a point where he is facing a lifetime of searching for love, and now it is right here in front of him.
The song seems to capture the vulnerability and the passionate feeling of a man coming to terms with his love for a woman. The lyrics are expressively deep and touching, and the melody helps to accentuate the emotions expressed.
