QHMG/Quartz Hill Records’ newest signing, soulful country-pop duo 2 Lane Summer, releases “One More Minute,” a heartbreaking-yet-hooky new focus track about yearning for more time with a girl that got away. Combining a lost-love lyric with an infectious uptempo groove, “One More Minute” is available now across all digital retail and streaming partners. The track’s official music video, filmed along the picturesque Pacific Coast Highway in California, will premiere on YouTube today (Fri, July 11th) at 2:01 pm CT (which is “One More Minute” after 2 pm).
“This is a heartbreak song even though it’s really upbeat and catchy,” says 2 Lane Summer’s Joe Hanson. “Chris and I are both happily in our relationships with our girls, but we think it's important to sometimes put out songs that aren't necessarily our story, but it's somebody else's story and can be a form of therapy for people.”
“And I think people can also relate to the song in other ways than just love or romance,” adds the other half of 2 Lane Summer, Chris Ray. “Maybe you want to go back and have one more minute with your parents or grandparents or somebody that was close to you that's not here anymore. So, it's for people like that as well.”
“One More Minute” was pitched to 2 Lane Summer’s producer, Ash Bowers, by platinum-selling Canadian brothers Clint and Bob Moffatt (The Moffatts), who’d penned the song alongside Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Reed Waddle. Each line of the chorus is shorter than the last, perhaps reflecting that the narrator is growing increasingly smaller in his lost love’s rear-view mirror.
The official music video for “One More Minute” was shot on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), one of the most famous – and scenic – road-trip routes in the US. A portion of the PCH, at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura, California, was shut down for the filming of the music video, directed by Sam Aldrich.
Shooting took place during 2 Lane Summer’s epic recent two-week road trip from Tennessee to California and back. The duo traveled along iconic American two-lane roads, also including Route 66 and, made famous by the 1994 Oscar-winning film Forrest Gump, U.S. Route 163. The road trip took Hanson and Ray through nine states – Tennessee, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Wyoming, South Dakota and Missouri – where they met many of the small-town Americans who are celebrated in 2 Lane Summer’s musical toast to country guys and girls, “Here’s to You.”
