Lana Lane grew up in a very music-oriented family, with the sounds of her mother's voice and the radio constantly filling the air. Naturally, Lana picked this up and started becoming seriously interested in singing in high school. She moved to Los Angeles to further her career where she met future husband, music producer, and synth/keyboardist Erik Norlander. The two eventually founded their own production company/record label Think Tank Media to release their work. She has produced many recordings using a many guest musicians such as Pain of Salvation's Kristoffer Gildenlow.
Arjen Anthony Lucassen, mastermind of Ayreon, Ambeon, Stream of Passion, and Star One, took note of Lana's voice, and the two have collaborated on a few projects together. Arjen took a part in the writing of Tarot, and Lana did guest vocals on Ayreon's Universal Migrator albums, for example.
Lana has produced many albums over the years, though Secrets of Astrology and Queen of the Ocean are the most widely known.
I Believe in You
Lana Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An echo of a perfect love that ended wrong
Girl, we tried so hard when love was on our side
And yesterday will always be the reason why
You keep comin', you keep comin' back, you keep comin' back for more
I'll see you in my dreams
There we'll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory
Time, time will never be a friend of mine again
It tries to make your memory fade, but I won't let it end
Let the sun go down, so I can drift away
Let me close my eyes and live another day
You keep comin', you keep comin' back, you keep comin' back for more
I'll see you in my dreams
There we'll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory
I'll see you in my dreams, oh
The truth, oh it's there for you to see
Sometimes it's painful to be on your own, on your own
I'll see you in my dreams
There we'll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory
I'll see you in my dreams
Back in my arms again, and no matter what tomorrow brings
I'll see you in my dreams, oh, oh, oh
The lyrics of Lana Lane's song "I Believe in You" express the craving for a love that has ended but still lingers on in memory. The first verse speaks of the absence of the beloved's voice that used to fill the room, now replaced by the echo of a love that ended wrongly. It reflects on the efforts that were made to preserve the love when it still existed, but it didn't last. However, the beloved keeps coming back time and again, drawn to the singer. The chorus manifests a comforting thought – that even though the reality of love was only fleeting, it can still exist in dreams where it can be safely relived. The second verse admits that time has never been a friend, trying to erase the memory of the loved one but to no avail. The singer longs to drift away into the memories of the past but still return to the present to relive the days of yore. The lyrics assure that the truth is there for everyone to see, though sometimes it can be painful to be on your own.
Line by Line Meaning
Gone, the voice that used to fill the room is all but gone
The voice that once had a commanding presence is no longer heard.
An echo of a perfect love that ended wrong
There is a subtle reminder in the depth of the room that echoes of a perfect love that ended with tragedy.
Girl, we tried so hard when love was on our side
We struggled relentlessly when love was still present.
And yesterday will always be the reason why
The memory of the past will continue to linger and affect the present.
You keep comin', you keep comin' back, you keep comin' back for more
Despite everything, the same person keeps coming back for more.
I'll see you in my dreams
The only way I will see you again is in my dreams.
There we'll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory
In our dreams, we find refuge from the depressing memories of our past.
Time, time will never be a friend of mine again
Time and I will never see eye to eye again.
It tries to make your memory fade, but I won't let it end
Time's constant flow attempts to dull my memories of you, but I won't forget.
Let the sun go down, so I can drift away
I want to the day to end so I can forget, even if just for a moment.
Let me close my eyes and live another day
I need to rest my eyes so I can live through another day.
The truth, oh it's there for you to see
The truth is glaringly obvious.
Sometimes it's painful to be on your own, on your own
Being alone can be a painful experience.
Back in my arms again, and no matter what tomorrow brings
If only we were together again, tomorrow would not seem so daunting.
I'll see you in my dreams, oh, oh, oh
You exist only in my dreams.

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of "Neptune Blue", the upcoming new album from Lana Lane on January 28, 2022. Lana Lane released her last album, “El Dorado Hotel” in 2012, so it has been a long time coming for new music from the well-respected singer. "Neptune Blue" was produced by Lana’s husband, Erik Norlander and features an outstanding lineup including Norlander on keyboards and backing vocals, Jeff Kollman on lead and rhythm guitars, Mark McCrite on rhythm and acoustic guitars, bass guitar and backing vocals, Don Schiff on NS/Stick, Greg Ellis on drums and percussion, and John Payne on backing vocals. Pre-order/save "Neptune Blue" HERE: https://orcd.co/lanalane
"Neptune Blue" sees Lane going in a modern AOR direction with slight proggy and pomp elements. This a very welcomed and exciting return by Lane for all the fans who have enjoyed her work in the past and are keen to embrace her outstanding musical comeback.
Lana Lane is an accomplished rock vocalist with a long history of recording and touring. Born in Concord, California to a musical family, Lana grew up on a balanced diet of both rock music and big band swing music. Since music was always in the house, singing came very naturally to Lana, and she started fronting bands straight out of high school. To further her career, Lana moved to Los Angeles in the late '80s where she met her husband/producer Erik Norlander (Dukes Of The Orient, ASIA featuring John Payne).
Lana's debut album, "Love is an Illusion", was released in 1995 to critical acclaim. It soon caught the ear of a Japanese record company, Marquee Belle Antique, who saw great potential in the music, and of course in Lana's voice. The company released Lana's second album, "Curious Goods", in 1996, and then in 1998, Marquee launched a new high profile label called Avalon with Lana Lane as their flagship artist. Avalon released Lana's "Garden of the Moon" album which skyrocketed her career on the international stage, ultimately resulting in her first European release.
Lana began touring in Japan in 1998 to support "Garden of the Moon" and the subsequent "Ballad Collection" and "Queen of the Ocean" releases. She then expanded her touring efforts to Europe in 2001 to support "Secrets of Astrology", with additional tours in 2003 and 2004. In 2004, Lana released her first DVD, "Storybook: Tales from Europe and Japan", which documented her first years of touring on two continents. Then in 2005, Lana embarked on her 10th Anniversary Tour which culminated in her appearance at the Sweden Rock Festival at the end of the European leg and then the filming her 10th Anniversary Concert DVD in Tokyo after the final show in Japan at the tour’s conclusion. These years also marked the beginning of Lana's relationship with Frontiers Music Srl.
Lana has been dubbed "The Queen of Symphonic Rock" by fans and media, yet she remains a very versatile artist, able to move from intimate jazz pieces ("Ballad Collections", "Winter Sessions") to bone crushing progressive metal ("Secrets of Astrology", "Lady Macbeth", etc.). But, in the end, it is Lana's love of melody and artistry that reigns over all. She is a dedicated artist who approaches her craft with grace and integrity.
