  • Lukas Nelson shares his perspective on the art of telling stories through songwriting.
    Lukas Nelson has no more footsteps to follow other than his own. As with all creative artists, Nelson’s course has been somewhat unpredictable. Though born to country music royalty, he has followed a different muse. Or, more accurately, he has introduced a bunch of muses to each other and locked them into an imaginary room to spend some wild time together.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    50 years ago my wife and I packed up a 1966 Mustang with all of our worldly possessions and traveled to Ft. Benning then to Ft. Polk where I was serving in the Army. On my you tube page you'll find the song I wrote about it. I started listening to Willie way back then . Love the way Lukas honors his Dad and yet has his own style. He mixes respect with self pride!

    I think Lukas is an incredible talent himself ! Everyone wants to compare him with Willie , but he is is own man . You never hear Lukas on the radio but that's okay . We who like him know where to find him !

    To anyone under the age of 30 who is listening to this - LISTEN TO THIS MAN. He is a true inspiration to you and everything you should want to be when you get old. Life is not about what you have, it's about what you feel inside and how you use those feeling to make others feel good about themselves.

    First time I heard him, didn't know he existed, was on a farm aid concert on tv. Just happen to come across it. He started singing and I'm like dude quit trying to sound like Willie lol. Then he sang the sound of your memory. It grabbed my heart instantly. I've never forgotten it !! Some time soon I figured out he had to be Willie's son lol. I love him. His song writing is amazing!!!

      @jazzlehazzle 4 года назад +10

      I hope you could, and you say that, but only if you can accept that man’s constant absence due to practice & tour schedules, and first devotion to something other than you. It works for gals who are cool with coming 2nd, or at best tieing for 1st. But so many gals who fall for musicians for their talents & emotional depth are for some reason clueless about what that really means, or how much time it requires away from the relationship. He alludes to that here. It kinda bothers me that so many women get upset when confronted by this, as if the abilities that are a big thing they love about him, somehow didn’t demand his all and have to come first, in order to be maintained. It can work, but only for a healthily independent gal who’s good being mostly solo.

      Cause he would have to sell his soul and he knows that. Willie being his dad the satanic music industry would take him in a min but he won't sell his soul. That's why music isn't worth a damn anymore you must sell your soul then they can tell you, demand what you play. That's not Lucas. How refreshing.
