THIS IS THE INTRO - LYRICS

THIS IS THE INTRO

VERSE 1
I don’t understand (woo)
Always tryna put me in a box bro
Tie me down and run it from the back row
But they don’t know I got the keys to the lock bro
(Woo) Hey, forget it (Forget it)
Man upstairs gets the credit (Get the credit)
So I be waiting tables down at Cheddar’s 
Just to get that extra cheddar
Tryna make my life better 
That’s true though (woo)
Music feeling like another industry (industry)
And no, I don’t agree with that theology (that theology)
Everybody wants a star, that’s astronomy
This is getting real, real no apologies (woo)
I don’t wanna be another repeat
Jumping out of line like I’m crazy
Kicking down doors like I’m Messi
Oh my, this is getting kinda messy (ooo)

PRE-CHORUS
The ending is like a mirage and everybody’s thirsty (thirsty)
You do it all for the applause
Miss me with the curtsy
That’s just the way it is
People gon’ hate on this (ooo woah)
My mama would pray for this
Becky will never approve of this (ahh ahh)

CHORUS/HOOK?
My heart, my soul is here (It’s here, yeah)
My purpose has no fear
Ain’t nobody out here gonna work as hard as me (oh, oh)
Prayin’ everyday ‘cause there ain’t no guarantees (woah)
This is the intro
This is the intro (ahh)
(X3) 
This is the intro
This is the intro (Intro)

VERSE 2
Ahh

You don’t understand (woo)
I just wanna work real hard for the vision
I remember way back when I had a vision
No one told me I could do it
I’m just building my divisions
That’s facts though (woo)
Left with my decisions
Everybody has opinions
I just gotta hit ‘em with the scissors (ooo)
Cut ‘em all off, then deliver

People fearing change they ain’t used to
If it’s not the same they don’t want you
This ain’t really working out
But I love it now
I got something to prove
I don’t wanna talk it out
Imma work it out
Oh, it’s my move

CHORUS
Intro, intro, intro, intro 
The ending is like a mirage and everybody’s thirsty (Thirsty, yeah)
The ending is like a mirage and everybody’s thirsty (Thirsty, yeah, oh)
They do it all for the applause 
And miss me with the curtsy (curtsy)
The ending is like a mirage and everybody’s thirsty (ahh)

This is the intro (Intro)
This is the intro ahh (Intro, intro)
This is the intro (Intro)
This is the intro ahh (Intro, intro)
This is the intro
This is the intro ahh (Intro, ah)
This is the intro (Intro)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 6, 2016
RECENT MTV COVER SONG FINALIST NAMED MALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR
 BILLBOARD CHARTING POP R&B ARTIST AND TV/FILM ACTOR SPENCER KANE WINS THREE FAN VOTE AWARDS RECORD VOTES FOR WE LOVE CHRISTIAN MUSIC AWARDS FEATURE FORMER WINNER TAKING HOME 3 NEW AWARDS AT MARCH 5, 2017 TELEVISED EVENT

NASHVILLE, TN – The 5th annual We Love Christian Music Awards were recorded live at TBN Studios in Hendersonville, TN on February 2 and featured a lineup of performers and presenters from some of today’s most popular Christian artists. Among them was 2015 Next Big Thing winner, Spencer Kane. Nominated for Male Artist, Indie Artist and Most Influential Artist of the Year, the 20 year old Pop R&B solo artist and current member of the renowned band Anthem Lights, swept the categories garnering the most fan votes in each.
“Being known as an independent artist has many challenges versus those who are signed to a major label, but times like this remind me how much fans can really make a difference,” said Kane. “I know there are a lot of fans that listen to my music, but when the world’s largest Christian music website nominates you and the fans respond with overwhelming votes, it is pretty humbling,” he added.
The We Love Christian Music Awards is the only fan based vote award event of it’s kind in the Christian Music Industry. The traditional Gospel Music Association (GMA) holds annual awards called The Dove Awards to honor the most outstanding artists and producers in the Christian and Gospel Music Industry. The nominees and winners are all chosen by GMA members. While the Dove Awards are similar to the Grammys, the We Love Christian Music Awards would be the equal to the People’s Choice Awards.
“Spencer is such an unusual artist in the business. He maintains his full time role in the Anthem Lights band and yet still produces and releases his own music as a solo artist. Apart from the great quality of his 2016 album KANE, we felt that his overall work in both Anthem Lights and as a solo artist deserved a nomination in the Male Artist and Indie Artist categories this year,” stated We Love Award founder, Kevin McNeese.
Kane continues to release music apart from Anthem Lights, but tours nationally with the band as well as alone for his solo work. When not involved in music, he may be seen on television or on the big screen acting. He resides in Nashville and plans to release a new EP in late 2017.
- # # # -
Touring nationally since 2012, a regular cast member of season 4 and 5 of tv sitcom, iShine Knect (TBN Network), Billboard Magazine's #2 Emerging Artist (Jan 17, 2015 issue), 2015 Next Big Thing in Christian Music Award Winner, MTV Cover of the Month Finalist (Dec 2016)he has social following exceeding 100,000 fans worldwide and is most known for his cover song Can’t Sleep Love (Oct 2015) and membership in the band Anthem Lights.

2016 YEAR IN REVIEW

This year has been crazy busy, but all in a good way. Just a recap of all that happened in 2016.


  • Announced my joining Anthem Lights in February.
    • Have built lifetime brother relationships with all of them and regret nothing about joining.
  • Went on the Millennial Tour in 6 U.S. states and 4 of the Hawaiian Islands
  • Did the music festival circuit this past summer.
  • God's Not Dead 2 (FILM) was released and was my debut big screen appearance.
  • Released my first full length studio album project in July called "KANE" (available on iTunes/Spotify)
  • Was blessed to see Anthem Lights have two videos go viral with each having over 20 million views (first time ever in the history of Anthem).
  • Moved into my first apartment back in June and now live in Nashville, Tennessee.
  • Have recorded some amazing new cover songs with producers I've met in Nashville who are insanely talented.
  • Was contacted by MTV about my MERCY cover and it is up for COVER OF THE MONTH for December 2016.
  • Was notified by WE LOVE AWARDS that I was nominated for BEST MALE ARTIST and INDIE ARTIST OF THE YEAR award (voting ends Jan 27).
Like anything in the music industry, it's incredibly hard work that requires a lot of commitment, energy and willingness to overcome rejection. I love what I do, I love my fans, and I love being able to create something that reaches so many people in a positive way.

Thank you all for an amazing 2016 and I can't wait for ya'll to see what's in store for 2017. Be ready.

KANE TRAIN STREET TEAM (2017)

The street team has been working together since early 2014 and we've had a great success in the closest of my fans helping me with a lot of things in my career. More importantly, we have a true family that have become my inner circle, and I'm so grateful.

My career has grown over time and so has the effort of the street team. We need more volunteers to keep up to speed with the many projects that happen.

There's basically TWO ways you can help by joining. The first is called our

      Take it in and enjoy the view

      No opposition
      Here's my decision
      I will no longer be tied
      To these chains in this prison
      A life with no vision
      No I don't see it that way
      Why it gotta be that way
      Whenever I seek you
      You show me
      Ooo waa

      When I need a map
      You already made it
      When I need a path
      You already paved it
      You're so good to me
      I may be jaded
      But when I need a plan
      You draw it out for me

      Chorus:

      You give us perspective
      Nothing I could do without your love
      Out in this world it gets so rough

      You know I need you every single day
      When I seek you
      You show me

      Pre-Chorus:
      ‘Cause they ‘gon try to tell you

      So lets show them you can fly
      You got fire in
      Your eyes are shining

      And though he always felt the pain
      He never showed it on his face
      They said he will never grow
      His mother said you will never know
      Thought he’d never win the case
      If it wasn’t for amazing grace

      Pre-Chorus (x2):
      If God is for us,
      Who could be against us
      We win,
      We win

      Chorus:
      We Win (repeat)

      Verse 2:
      From the parties in the hallways
      To the tailgates in the backyards
      Revivals in the four walls
      Waiting for the great day
      Many will be too late
      So many will anticipate
      But can not forfeit
      Something that is worth it

      Pre-Chorus (x2):
      If God is for us,
      Who could be against us
      We win,
      We win

      Chorus:
      We Win (repeat)

      Bridge:
      How great is our God
      He reigns forever, forever (x2)
      He reigns forever, forever (x4)

      Chorus:
      We Win (repeat)

      GHOST

      I take a step in a new way
      I don’t know where I’m going but I can’t be late
      Every leap brings new faith
      When I’m running with you each and every day
      I can’t see the end, but you know it
      I gotta maintain, don’t blow it
      Temptations all around,
      But I can’t let Him down
      Not even for a moment

      But how do I follow something I can’t see
      I need to know that you’re there, I need to know that you’re there
      You tell me faith is why I walk, it’s not what I see
      So now I know that you’re there, now I know that you’re there

      There ain’t a time that you aren’t by my side
      Coast to coast, when I need you the most
      And I won’t rewind, my life has been defined
      Say goodbye, adios, my old life is a ghost
      My old life is a ghost, old life is a ghost (repeat)

      I love the way you hold me down
      You got a real grip
      And I can feel you all around
      And I like it
      Oh-oh-oh-oh, progressive, I’m down with the Flo
      Oh-oh-oh-oh, foot on the pedal, let’s go

      But how do I follow something I can’t see
      I need to know that you’re there, Show me that you’re there
      You tell me faith is why I walk, it’s not what I see
      So now I know that you’re there, now I know that you’re there

      There ain’t a time that you aren’t by my side
      Coast to coast, when I need you the most
      And I won’t rewind, my life has been defined
      Say goodbye, adios, my old life is a ghost
      My old life is a ghost, old life is a ghost (repeat)

      Tell me what the real
      Why the kid won't blow no pill?
      Why he always keep it trill?
      Why he still ain't copped no deal?

      What You need cop a mill fo

      Why you messing with my head like a toupe?

      HEART LIKE YOU REMIX

      So many people all around me, so many chances I could take
      So many times that I just let them pass on by
      And I know that I could make a difference, I know you’re calling me for
      more. I know that I could step out and stop wasting time.

      And you alone are all I need to change a life

      Chorus:
      Give me a heart like you.
      Give me a love so true.
      To light up the world for you.
      I give you all of me in all I do,
      cause all I want is a heart like you.

      You are the flame that keeps on burning,
      you are alive inside of me
      You are the one who makes the broken beautiful.
      And I want to find the ones forgotten,
      I want to feel you leading me
      I want to play the part that you have made me for

      And you alone are all I need to change a life

      Chorus:
      Give me a heart like you,
      give me a love so true,
      to light up the world for you.
      I give you all of me in all I do,
      cause all I want is a heart like you.

      Bridge:
      Set a fire, set a fire inside of me,
      take control, take control come alive in me (repeat)

      Chorus:
      Give me a heart like you,
      give me a love so true,
      to light up the world for you.
      I give you all of me in all I do,
      cause all I want is a heart like you.

      Third Studio Project "KANE" Releasing July 22, 2016


      After ten months of planning and writing in the studio, recording, and a whirlwind joining of Anthem Lights in between, I'm finally ready to release my new full album project titled KANE.

      I've shared samples of the songs the past six months on social media and my live video chats with all of you but have only released 3 of the songs from the project publicly. Any of you who have come to the Millennial Tour  this past spring 2016 will have heard many of the new songs on this album. Some of you have purchased the 7 song EP from the new project from my online store but finally you'll get to hear the entire project when it releases on July 22, 2016.

      I will be performing that night at SONSHINE FESTIVAL in Somerset Wisconsin just outside Minneapolis, MN. My hope is to have the new full CD available for the merch at that show and every personal concert from then on.

      Here's the final playlist from the new CD:
      1. God Stole My Heart
      2. Love A Lil Bit
      3. Diagram
      4. You'll Be Alright ft. Adrion Butler
      5. New Level
      6. Breakthrough
      7. This Is Living ft. Alexis Slifer
      8. Betrayed
      9. We Win
      10. BONUS TRACK: Ghost ft. Izze
      11. BONUS TRACK: Heart Like You -  (Stereodraft EDM Remix)

      A quick summary of each song I wrote:

      GOD STOLE MY HEART
      I wrote this one with a lot of inspiration from Michael Jackson and Chris Brown vocals and music. The lyrics really discuss the importance of knowing that when your heart is full of junk and ugly sins, God wants to take that all away from you and replace the void with His love.

      LOVE A LIL BIT
      Probably the most fun track on my new project, this song gets pretty fun to sing along to because the hook is so easy to remember... the song title. Yes, I do actually rap in this song toward the end, so get ready. The lyrics talk a lot about how the world knows we are Christians by how we show love to one another. People get confused when we choose to love on people instead of judge them or hate them or try to put our religious rules on them. This song is about just LOVING people the way God asks us to.

      DIAGRAM
      The last song written for this album but one of my favorites because it has a really laid back and R&B vibe. The lyrics just talk about how sometimes we need God to draw it out for us and reveal His plan in our life.

      YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT
      This is a TURN UP song and is fun in concert. I hope you feel the flow when you listen cause it's like an anthem about stop worrying. God really wants us to know when you trust Him and focus on Him, it will truly be alright.

      NEW LEVEL
      Most of you have already heard this one and it's probably my favorite vocal track on the project cause it's just so smooth and reminds me of a song you'd play with the top down on your car and just cruisin. When I give in to God and set my will aside, I find that He lifts me up to a new level and puts me in a new setting to represent Him to the world. This song is about being ready to be taken to new levels in Christ.

      BREAKTHROUGH
      This song is exciting for me because I wrote 100% of the lyrics and had the great experience to work with Doug from We Are Leo to produce it in Chicago. This song is very Maroon 5 inspired and the lyrics just talk about how we can overcome our past and experience a breakthrough when God is involved in your life. We sometimes have habits and things we cling to instead of God but when we focus on Him, we can experience a breakthrough.

      THIS IS LIVING
      I loved recording this cover of Hillsong Young and Free but having it rearranged like a worship song. The lyrics are truly amazing and it was such a great end result with Alexis singing on the track.

      BETRAYED
      This song was actually written by request of a film maker who considered it for a soundtrack. Unfortunately it wasn't chosen in the end, but I still like the song anyway. It's a bit out of my comfort zone as far as style, but it's a very simple ballad-like worship song that explains the amazing grace of our Lord when we mess up.

      WE WIN
      This song is probably my favorite LIVE song to perform now because it's just so unique. It's both a Turn Up and Praise and Worship track all in one. The Bible tells us that Jesus causes us to Triumph (win) and sometimes when we are slammed with a trial or major setback in our natural life, we can get discouraged. But the truth is that we should never forget WHO'S team we are on and that in the end... WE WIN.

      GHOST
      This song was released a few months back as a free download for the first 100 people to get it. I wrote this song pretty quickly and it just flowed well. The lyrics are metaphorical because once we become forgiven in Christ, we are no longer the person we use to be. That old life is a ghost that no longer lives.

      HEART LIKE YOU (remix)
      This is a great dance remix of the song from my last album. Nothing changed lyrically, but DJ's will probably like to play this in the clubs.

      So that's it. I can't wait for you all to hear the NEW me. KANE is a complete project that represents my current creative flow and how I want to be in the Christian music industry. Most of you don't realize my last album RUNWAY was mostly written and recorded 4 years ago but it took a while to release everything. So many of those songs were when I was 15 years old and a LOT has changed since then in my vocals and music style.

      I love you all and thank you for your extreme patience while we worked on this project in between my new passion of being involved with Anthem Lights. God is so good!

      2015 YEAR REVIEW

      Ok, so this has been a crazy year! It's been both emotionally and physically draining. But it's also been amazing. Here's my recap.


      • My song RUNWAY earned #2 Billboard Magazine Emerging Artist Chart rank in January.
      • In February I won the NEXT BIG THING in Christian Music award (here's a vlog about it)
      • Got to perform at my very first PLAYLIST LIVE in Orlando in February.
      • My song RUNWAY had radio play throughout the country (a first for me for radio)
      • Graduated High School in June (thank you Lord)
      • I performed nearly 50 concerts in 2015 including being part of opening for artists like FOR KING AND COUNTRY and NATALIE GRANT.
      • I got to play basketball with my lifelong music idol TOBYMAC. (dream come true)
      • I was cast in my first 2 movies. GOD'S NOT DEAD 2 (April 2016) and CAMP COOL KIDS (Summer 2016).
      • Made my first trip to L.A. for a week and met some amazing industry folks that I'll never forget.
      • Wrote and recorded 11 new original songs which will be released in 2016.
      I could probably list a lot more details of stuff that happened during the year, but it would take too long. I'm so thankful to God for my family, friends and amazing #KANEIACS who have shown me so much support. I know 2016 will be incredible and I'm looking forward to sharing some details about new things you all can expect. There are some HUGE projects and announcements that I think you all will be as excited about as I am.

      Peace.
