Growing up in South Africa seems to have grounded this musician and given him a different perspective on how the world works, and it certainly comes across in his personality and in his music.
In July of 2009 Michael sent Scott Austin (CEO of Authentik Artists) an email seeking advice from someone “in the know” - someone who he later described as being relatable and surprisingly approachable - In the email Michael also sent Scott the links to some recently uploaded YouTube videos. The two began emailing back and forth and to the amazement of both men, each had found something worth holding onto. After just a few months of planning, fund raising and songwriting, Michael found himself on a plane to Las Vegas ready to dive head first into his dreams.
Michael arrived in Las Vegas on December 16th 2009 and over the next few days, with the help of producer Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, The Killers), Scott Austin and some incredibly talented musicians, the “dream team” set out to record six songs in the comfort of the Studio at The Palms - music and lyrics by Michael Lowman.
With his gift for storytelling and an underlying rhythmic and melodic sense on guitar, this young man just might be the next “real deal” to hit the music scene.
Producer Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, Chris Isaak, The Killers) along with musicians Chris Chaney (Jane’s Addiction, Alanis Morissette) Dave Palmer (Chris Isaak, Fiona Apple) Robin DiMaggio (Paul Simon, Steve Vai) and Eric Schermerhorn (Seal, Iggy Pop)
FIGHT
Michael Lowman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This life ain't built on fear
So keep your head held up higher
Be stronger
Don't give in
It feels like these days are golden
I gotta keep my soul on fire
I never want this light to fade
We'll fight the end
We might lose the ones we love
A mama might lose her son
Not in the morning light
Not in the dead of night
You won't give in. no
It feels like these days are golden
I gotta keep my soul on fire
In this life we keep on hoping
I never want this light to fade
We'll fight the end
We'll fight again
We'll fight the end now
Not giving in. no
It feels like these days are golden
I gotta keep my soul on fire
Baby, in this life we keep on hoping
I never want this light to fade
