Jonny, you rented a house from my parents when you were around 16 or 17. I was really young, but knowing you is still a big deal to me. I just turned 21 and your songs have recently helped me through a very dark time in my life. You'll probably never read this but thank you for your inspiration to move forward.

[@dannysema6786]

Johnny was out here renting houses at 16!? He needed to take his young ass back to his mommas.

[@karenoberst6097]

This is one of my all time favorites. I listen to this almost every day. Ive been a fan for many years. I recently got my 15 year old daughter to listen to him and she enjoys the music almost as much as I do. I like the older stuff more but am still a huge fan. Wish he was more publisized and more coverage of his talent!

I'm 58 years old and heard a lot of music in my time. This kid is a rare talent. A true star.

[@scottiecopasetic8315]

Yep, I saw him in concert a couple times. Seems liked the logical thing to do since I was playing his "Wander This World" CD on repeat everywhere I went. Just turned 52 & I've been listening to Jonny for 20 years. Lie To Me - I expected to see someone like Ray Charles. Not a skinny white kid w/ this booming voice. I was hooked! (Kenny Wayne Sheppard) can rip it on guitar if u love Blues/Soul. Now I'm trying to find Alex Claire, Kaleo, Hozier etc. So many road trips w/ Jonny Lang though!

[@margaretbridgers4490]

I've been listening to him for years! Heard him on the Blues Brothers movie lol...looked him up on here and just fell in love with his voice ! Very talented and yet his music is so underrated!!!

GREAT message in this song. The more I listen to Johnny Lang the more I respect his music. Beautiful soul and insight he has.

[@pamelacairns289]

So many people with bigger careers and way less talent. The great thing is his, audiences love him and he loves them. If you thumbs down him I feel sorry for you. You don't understand anything good, at all, ever.

[@stephenraleigh3007]

We have seen Jonny since he was 17 years old. A true genius. Kind and sweet and totally tears up the blues. Pray he will be able to play again

[@paulkotlarz1542]

You know, was in a really bad spot a few years ago, turns out I'm bipolar and was extremely depressed at the time. This song literally saved my life! And now I'm crying. Thank you Jonny, book a venue anywhere near Minnesota and I'll come guaranteed! My wife and kids thank you! And so do I! Keep making great music brother!

Jonny Lang is living Proof deep soul can come from all walks of life shapes and sizes.

[@rmueller58]

At 16 Lang was a refreshing breath of air. So many kids at 16 are canned for the Disney generation. He is a real musician.

[@debbresser4908]

[@jonathanpasch6604]

A real down to earth guy. Chatting with him at a bar, you'd never guess he was a professional show off. God speed John👌

[@LucasSeman]

The thing that I like most about Jonny is that whatever genre he decides to tackle, he nails it: blues, r'n'b, soul music, or even pop (such as this).

[@lindseygayle7384]

oh and on 65 years old and grew up in the Mississippi Delta I have listen to the blues played on front porch in back porches outhouses pastures cornfield you name it and that somebody had a guitar and harp and was willing to sing you had a band and I'm saying this guy wound fitt right in there those old dudes sitting on my porch spitting tobacco drinking beer damn it you're this guy would fit right in there

[@heatherlangi9386]

Totally agree after all hasn't he performed with some of the best!

[@thlydd]

Same here. I first heard this song when I was in high school for my senior english class. we were working on symbolism and how the same thing means different things to different people. I felt that the 'Red light' was moments in your life where you are stuck because of something. you can either give up, wait for it to turn green, sometimes red lights are points where the world is saying "slow down and take a breather."

You sing a song While sitting at a red light You think of home While sitting at a red light Too slow to roll Put your life on hold An open path With nowhere to go You start to wonder While sitting at a red light You can run a red light Give up at a red light You break the mold When running through the tolls Speeding through your whole life A chance to breathe While sitting at a red light You look around reflecting on your life A chance to think Am I drinkning too much Should I keep going Lose the life that I love A second glance When coming to a red light You can run a red light Give up at a red light You break the mold When running through the tolls Speeding through your whole life When things look low You've gotta keep stong Feet to the grass You've gotta walk it off The bows been tied Too tight to laugh Feet to the ground You've gotta walk it off You can run a red light You can run a red light Start to think Am I drinkning too much Should I keep going Lose the life that I love You can run a red light Give up at a red light You break the mold When running through the tolls Speeding through your whole life You can run a red light Give up at a red light You break the mold When running through the tolls Speeding through your whole life You can run a red light You can run a red light You sing a song While sitting at a red light

[@j5match]

Jonny Lang has one of the best voices for blues or whatever else he chooses to sing. If he was drowning out the band, a sound engineer had him turned up. I would turn him up too because his voice is outstanding. Obviously practiced? Now, that's funny. I've seen him in concert twice. I don't know how anyone could possibly be disappointed in this talented musician.

[@xchicglowgoxo6447]

@daniel dougan Lol, the music business is just success by "chance". It's a combo of luck, and talent. He is authentic, you can't really "market" that shit. It's just real, either it takes off or it does not. I'm quite sure he is more than satisfied with the "moderate" success he has achieved. Instead of people dressing up as him (like they do for Miley) for Halloween, he has folks walking up to him telling him face to face, how he changed their lives, and how he touched their souls. He makes music with his fucking hands, and heart. And he does not wear tacky outfits to do so. *Disclaimer lol* I am not against women (or men) dressing how they please, slutty, or conservative, I love it all, and I'm in favor of it all. We should live our lives to fullest. What I posted above was just a different POV.

[@robertpersall1485]

I was just as lonely as before, because I didn't realize that fulfillment comes from within. I only realized that after I met Jesus Christ and began a Real Living RELATIONSHIP with God through Him. I am completely satisfied and fulfilled. I pray that you find that kind of fulfillment. God Bless You!
