LATEST RELEASE - My Last Teaspoon of Honey |
|
My Last Teaspoon of Honey explores themes of regret, longing, and hope for renewal.
The lyrics express a desire to make amends for past mistakes and to share meaningful gestures, like giving the last teaspoon of honey or money, symbolizing deep care and sacrifice.
The repeated refrain emphasizes the idea that despite past struggles, there’s always the potential for a fresh start—“Tomorrow is a brand new day.” Reviews
Jane Laws musical style keeps evolving, we were first attracted by Purple Poodle as a wry colourful urban city observation, then Fremantle Bound gave us a modern Aussie sea shanty drawing on Jane’s love of sailing. |
I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. I pay my respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders both past and present.

Jane Laws is a singer-songwriter who enjoys writing about the places she has been and the folks she has met along the way. Her favourite pastimes include long distance travel by motorcycle and racing her yacht, Ambience, a Lotus 10.6, out of Fremantle Sailing Club. Musically Jane writes folk-roots tunes flavoured with pop, jazz, blues and a touch of comedy. Contact David Hutson @ Mohawk Music Management for booking details. |
I had the greatest fun with Samele Haell on The Foldback Redux Show at GoldMX. |
My Albums |
Timing and Expectation (2022)
This is a diverse and engaging collection of songs by a singer/songwriter who has assiduously polished her skills over a long period of involvement in the business. “Timing & Expectation” is Jane’s most adventurous and complete display of her abilities to date. This is her ‘tour de force’ in that she marries several themes into a complete work, that expresses all of them.

I had the privilege of being asked by adventurer and author, Wendy Campbell, to write a theme song for her autobiography, “On Aspiring: Journey Beyond Courage.” |
|
Sometimes I write a song that is very important to me, and I long for my fans to hear the new song instead of waiting for my next album, which could be some time away.
So I released Falls of Thunder as a single, it is a song about Victoria Falls, and I really hope you enjoy this song and music video. |

In recent years, songwriters have been encouraged to write songs about mental health to help bring community awareness to this most sensitive and important subject. |

The title track from the album Does it Rhyme? began life while I was idly doodling with my guitar and I started to sing “Does it snow in Tokyo? Does it rhyme on Disney time?” For the love of rhyming, these two phrases seemed like so much fun to me, and over the next few weeks I continued to enjoy playing with the lyrics. I watched the song grow into a collection of my life questions, some nonsense, some full of love and hope for this wonderful world we live in, and some full of fear of where we are going and what might happen next.

One of the most enjoyable experiences of my life have been the long days I have spent on the open road on my motorcycle. The idea for Six Hundred Outback Miles came to me when riding between Barkley Station and Daly Waters in the Northern Territory. By the time I arrived at the camp site, the tune and the first verse were set in stone. Over the next few weeks I had the pleasure of musing with the lyrics while I enjoyed riding the roads of the Northern Territory and listening and learning about Aboriginal Culture and Country. |
|
Who’s to Say? is a song celebrating humanity. |
|
Check out my motorcycle song Highway Heaven. It was filmed in the Darling Ranges and the Porongurup National Park in West Australia. |
