Austin, TX – JB Elwood has released his newest rock-forward single, “Lost In My Ways,” a track about redemption, reminding us that we don’t always know what people may be going through, and the latest offering off his upcoming full-length album, due out later this year. You can stream and download “Lost In My Ways” on all platforms worldwide.
JB Elwood’s newest single, “Lost In My Ways,” digs deep into the topics of empathy and second chances. With powerful vocals and a unique instrumental accompaniment, this song truly makes you reflect. His lyrics tell a story, “I know I tried to tame all the chaos inside, I am reckless and alive, But it’s so hard to change, Cause I’m so lost in my ways.” The track follows the thoughts of an alcoholic battling with their addiction and attempting to find a glimmer of hope in the darkness they’re surrounded by. “‘Lost In My Ways’ is a song about redemption,” Elwood explains. “Everyone deserves a second, third, maybe even fourth chance. You never truly understand someone’s situation until you step in their shoes. A person going through hard times may have the desire to change, but they may not know how. That is why they might push people away and continue putting themselves in bad situations, ultimately leading to a life crisis where they come face to face with their inner demons.” Although the song is centered around the topic of alcoholism, the underlying themes about remembering to be kind and gentle with others can be applied to almost any situation you may experience. “Lost In My Ways” showcases Elwood’s ability to be vulnerable, thus allowing his audience to open up and also be vulnerable. The track was written by JB Elwood, and produced by Andrew Middleton.
Originally hailing from the Midwest, with Appalachian familial roots, JB Elwood pulls influence from a myriad of cities and Americana culture. Eventually, Elwood settled in Austin, Texas, a city that complements his musical tastes and drives him to continue to create. The singer pays tribute to his grandfathers: an entrepreneur and a self-taught musician, taking his name from his grandpa, John Elwood Ball. Elwood treasures the gift of an heirloom from his other grandpa, a 1960s Gibson Dove guitar. His music encapsulates his love for his family as well as his experiences throughout his life and allows his listeners to apply the lyrics to their lives. His artistry has been praised by notable press outlets such as V13, Songwriting Magazine, and Music Connection.
JB Elwood paints a picture with his music while expressing his true emotions and connecting on a personal level with his audience. “Lost In My Ways” is a reminder to dig a little deeper before reacting and to have empathy for everyone regardless of the circumstances.
