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.
Life of the Party
Lana Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep the spirits flowin'
Every night's a Friday night
Happiness is growin'
Call us dangerous
But we're the life of the party
Hangin' with my over
I'm barefoot and run wild
In crimson and clover
Call us glamorous
We're the life of the party
Call us outrageous
We're the life of the party
Call us dangerous
We're the life of the party
Call us outrageous
We're the life of the party

It is not about the day of the week but about the company enjoyed and the fun had throughout the night.
As the night continues, the singer paints a vivid picture of the gatherings, the barefoot wild dancing to the popular classics like "Crimson and Clover" and making the most of the moment. She boldly claims that she and her friends are the life of the party, and people should look up to them for their boldness (Call us dangerous, Call us glamorous) and their ability to be the highlight of every event (Call us outrageous).
