Lyrics to Dancin' on the Lawn:

I'm falling to pieces in my room
Are you coming over? that's cool
I could use a little something to do
We could go outside, take a little ride if you want to
That's cool
I did what I was supposed to
There's nothing left for me to
Do, so now I'm poking out my head through over windows
Cause that's what I feel like
Doin tonight
Waking up my brain maybe you can do the same thing

You want me to say something
I come up with nothing
Maybe we can talk until we figure out a topic
Been so long in my head
Caught up in my feelings
I've been waiting for something new to happen
And when it happens
I'll be dancin' on the lawn when it happens
When it happens
I'll be dancin' on the lawn when it happens

You want me to say something
I come up with nothing
Maybe we can talk until we figure out a topic
Been so long in my head
Caught up in my feelings
I've been waiting for something new to happen
You want me to say something
I come up with nothing
Maybe we should talk until we figure out a topic
Been so long without it
Caught up in my feelings
I've been waiting for something new to happen
And when it happens
I'll be dancin' on the lawn when it happens
When it happens
We'll be dancin' on the lawn when it happens
When it happens
We'll be dancin' on the lawn when it happens

Rising singer-songwriter and global citizen Eli Lev is making the world a smaller place, one song at a time. Eli pens lyrics and melodies for everyday enlightenment—songs that resonate because they’re heartfelt, earthy, and offer the wisdom he’s gained through lifelong travel and self-discovery.

Prior to becoming a full time musician, the Silver Spring, MD native spent three years as an 8th grade English teacher on the Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona. The indigenous traditions he learned during this time are the inspiration for his Four Directions project. Just as each cardinal direction holds unique characteristics in the Navajo tradition, so do each of the albums in Eli’s ‘Four Directions Project.’ Together, the series imaginatively and intrepidly connects spheres and generations within a body of work that is irresistibly uplifting, emotionally resonant, and down-to-earth authentic.

Eli explains, “We are surrounded by four directions, and each has distinctive attributes, powers, and teachings according to Navajo traditions. For example, because the sun rises in the east, it is the first direction and source of new ideas and inspiration. With that in mind, I started my EP series in 2017 with All Roads East, echoing the sounds of my youth and upbringing (Alt-Country/Americana). I released Way Out West the following year, where I experimented with the frontiers of folk tropes and melodies (Indie Folk). For 2019’s Deep South, I went back to my southern roots with a truly modern and powerful sound (Folk Rock/Pop). The final piece in 2021 is the more introspective True North (Acoustic/Singer-Songwriter).”

The northern direction in Navajo belief is that of the black night, of reflection, of quietude, of completion, and the stage where we get the highest amount of understanding from events and actions. Eli said, “This project holds and projects all of my life experiences from growing up in Maryland, studying in Indiana, my time as a teacher in Arizona, living abroad in Israel and Andorra, and finally coming back home to Maryland and becoming a full-time independent musician.I felt it important to follow the order and the characteristics of the four directions belief system as it holds deep wisdom and kept me on track and guided me through the entire project.”
