THE heart has guided Elias Lanyon in writing the lyrics of his first professional-release single I’ve Ran Out of Tears.
The Boort singing sensation shared the story of his latest composition before taking the stage for its official release at Jarklin on Friday night.
A busload of family and friends had arrived from Boort to grow the crowd of music fans to several hundred.
Among them were Elias’ mates, friends sharing a bond and understanding the power of the lyrics he had penned for the song recently recorded in a Melbourne studio.
“I didn’t think about it, the words just happened,” Elias said.
“That’s what was going through my head at the time and from watching how people were effected,” he said of the sudden loss last year of a special person in the lives of family and friends. He said the song had a “lot of meaning behind it. It was written after we lost someone pretty prominent in our community that meant a lot to all of us and these are the words that just poured out of me when I was feeling all of the emotions”.
“I hope listeners can find something to relate to within this song.”
The song starts with the words I’ve ran out of tears, Don’t know what time is,This is how it feels to lose a brother , I can’t believe that you’re gone, You won’t pick up the phone, I wish I could’ve known how to fix this.
Elias, who last year wowed judges on national television, has a solid diary of gigs to start the year including performances in Charlton, Swan Hill and Barham.
The new single is available online.
