"Ain't no thinking thing" By Trace Adkins (Cover)

Written October 9th 2014...a Friday morning....day 10 of writing...right after experiencing Greenland, the mountains of Labrador and the soul-inspiring St.Johns, NFLD.

Cryin' Over
So you say
It was a bad break up
Like a dream
And you wish that you could wake up from
 
All the tears
All the lies
All the years you spent wastin time
 
V.II
Girl I know
Yeah I’ve been there too
More than once
But I’ve always had my eye on you
 
Hanging back
In the crowd
Waiting on a moment like now
 
C.
Stop going back in time
Just kiss the past goodbye
Look at me and dry your eyes
He ain’t worth cryin’ over
 
Come back out of the dark
Just let me inside your heart
Every ending has a start
He ain’t worth cryin’ over
 
V.III
So you heard
That he’s done moved on
And it hurts
And it kills you that it took so long
 
For you to say
For you to see
He’s nothin’ but a
Nothin’ SOB

CHORUS 2
 
Bridge:
Girl, We could have a good thing going
I’m standing here, heart wide open

intro
Come back out of the dark
Just let me inside your heart
Every ending has a start
He ain’t worth cryin’ over

Intro x 2


Cryin Over - Acoustic Demo - Marshall Dane

“Roots of Resistance” is part of the Basically Done Original Soundtrack — the official musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s novel Basically Done and the upcoming Basically Done series/franchise.

The song addresses the erosion of land ownership, community displacement, and the quiet but unyielding resistance of working people rooted in place. Rather than protest through spectacle, the track carries its defiance through restraint — steady rhythm, grounded imagery, and inherited values that refuse to be erased by corporate systems.

This piece reflects Appalachian generational memory, where land was once attainable through labor and dignity, and where loss of place is not merely economic, but cultural and spiritual. “Roots of Resistance” stands as a truth-forward anthem — not shouting, but enduring.

Marshall Dane is not your typical Artist / Songwriter. 


Marshall's not chasing validation from an industry preoccupied with the number of streams music receives. Rather, he is a confident, independent Artist who has lived a full life - a man who has stayed true to himself and who has not been swayed by external pressures. A natural-born storyteller, Marshall’s journey has beenshaped by a life full of victories and setbacks. Experiences that have made him the unique person and Artist that he is today. 


Born into a family of musicians, Marshall Dane has a unique background. The son of a preacher man, his upbringing influences his music with a depth of soul rarely seen. His music is not just about entertainment - it’s as much about deeply connecting with his audience.


One of the most striking things about Marshall is his authenticity and genuine love for music. He doesn't shy away from sharing his vulnerabilities or emotions, and his confessional style of delivering lyrics resonates deeply with listeners. 


Whether playing for 40 people or 4000 people, Marshall’s passion shines through in every performance. He leaves it all on stage, pouring his heart and soul into every song with an unforgettable presence that captivates the audience. 


What also sets Marshall apart is his use of American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate with the Deaf community.  As the son of a minister, he was raised with a strong sense of compassion and inclusivity which extends to his music and his dedication to helping others. By incorporating ASL into his performances, he not only makes his music accessible to the Deaf, but he also raises awareness of this community. Marshall's talent has to-date earned him five nominations for Male Artist of the Year at the Country Music Association of Ontario Awards. He has also graced the stages of renowned music festivals such as Boots and Hearts, Sarnia Bayfest, The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and the Calgary Stampede and has performed shows supporting Alan Jackson, Blue Rodeo, Eric Church and many more.


A unique blend of country, rock and singer-songwriter, Marshall's music has a universal appeal that transcends borders. His music has captured the hearts of the Canadian audience, as well as the hearts of an international audience with his songs playing on radio across Canada and the United States, including KX96, Great Lakes Country 102, Pure Country,iHeart Radio, CBC and Rogers.


Marshall is a transformative experience for the people who are moved and fulfilled by what it is that Marshall Dane so emotively and willingly shares. Quite simply, if you didn’t know Marshall Dane when you arrived, there is absolutely no way you will be able to forget him when you leave.
