Miranda Lambert‘s new single “Tin Man” has some inspiration from one of the characters from The Wizard of Oz. Miranda has seen the classic movie plenty of times, and knew of the character’s traits, but it wasn’t until she was going through a tremendous amount of personal pain herself, that she saw the character in a new light, “everyone knows what the Tin Man represents–cold, and empty, and loneliness, and heartless…and it just opened my eyes to it even more going through pain myself.” Miranda says that with that inspiration laying in the back her mind, she crafted her new single from her double album The Weight Of These Wings, “Whatever influenced you the most, at whatever time in your life, somewhere or another comes out in your art. The Tin Man. I guess, going through a lot of times where I felt empty, I understood a whole new meaning.” “Tin Man” is at country radio right now!

“Whatever influenced you the most, at whatever time in your life, somewhere or another comes out in your art. The Tin Man. I guess, going through a lot of times where I felt empty, I understood a whole new meaning, I mean, how many times have we seen The Wizard Of Oz, but it’s something that world shares…everyone knows what the Tin Man represents–cold, and empty, and loneliness, and heartless…and it just opened my eyes to it even more going through pain myself, you know, sort of an epiphany”
