“Love on My Mind” – Luke Tyler Shelton
The release date says 2024, but you’d be forgiven for thinking “Love on My Mind” first came out sometime in the mid-1970s.
Evoking the lush Lauren Canyon sounds of The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, and so on, Luke Tyler Shelton is a fresh face with an old soul: Hailing from the San Fernando Valley, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter captures the sweet heat of the sun and the warm glow of love in his third career single, a radiant, harmony-soaked ode to intimacy produced by Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker) and Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Angel Olsen).
Woke up early this morning
With a love on my mind
It’s something I’ve been yearning
To be with a woman so kind
She bring me up
Won’t let me down
She’s the queen of this town
And when I start to feelin bad
Well I’m glad she’s around
Cause no one can love me like my lady
She’s my sweet one, she’s my baby yeah
“‘Love on My Mind’ has been one of my favorite songs of mine to play since the day I wrote it,” Shelton tells Atwood Magazine. “The song is about finally finding a person to love and to love you back, and feeling secure in a relationship for the first time.”
“It’s a sweet song and is played in an open E tuning, which I like to do quite often,” he explains. “It allows me the ability to play weird chord shapes that I wouldn’t be able to figure out in a standard tuning. Another song produced from my recording at Jonathan Wilson’s Topanga studio, working alongside him and Shooter Jennings.”
His words are simple and straightforward enough, but his voice, his songwriting style, and his sound are pure magic. Shelton holds nothing back in creating a tapestry for all as he basks in love’s welcoming beauty and wonder.
I lingered far from home
Many hills I did climb
But my demons left me alone
Had not a reason to hide
And now I know that wherever I go
She’ll be right by my side
Nothing here could be more clear
When she’s holding me tight
Cause no one can love me like my lady
She’s my sweet one, she’s my baby yeah
Honest, heartfelt, candid, and confessional, “Love on My Mind” is a summery companion to those highs that help make every day worth remembering; that turn the ordinary into extraordinary.
Luke Tyler Shelton is a dreamweaver, and with only four songs currently released (and a full-length album on the way), he is without a doubt one of 2025’s brightest spots – an artist-to-watch with boundless passion and potential.
No, this isn’t the 1970s; this is right here, right now – and we all get to join him for what will surely be the adventure of a lifetime.
They say this house is built to burn
We’ll light that match babe when it’s our turn
So when your heart start to achin’
And your world begin to shake then
Turn your lovin’ light on bright
There’s no fear to hold
Just let your mind unfold
I’ll be here to guide ya through the night
The road I’ve taken is long
But I’ve been happy to ride
And I don’t mind being alone
When there’s a love on my mind
And now I know that wherever I go
I’ll be right by her side
Nothing here could be more clear
When I’m holding her tight
No one can love me like my lady
She’s my sweet one, she’s my baby
No one can love me like my lady
She’s my sweet one, she’s my baby
Yeah, she’s my baby
