听歌学英语:寂寞时刻NEED YOU NOW

Antebellum 是2006年在美国田纳西州，纳什维尔成立的美国乡村流行音乐团体。这个三人团队由Hillary Scott（主唱）、Charles Kelley（主唱）和 Dave Haywood（吉他手，钢琴，曼陀林演奏）组成。Antebellum 这个名字是在乐队拍摄美国战前建筑时想到的(战前建筑风格是美国南部的大庄园特有的特征。拉丁词语bellum 是‘战争’的意思。在而"antebellum" 则是指战前。在美国，Antebellum 一般用来专指内战前的这一段时间。)是在给这些南方庄园拍照片的时候，一乐队成员突然说Antebellum 作为乐队名字很不错，不久后，乐队便取名为Lady Antebellum。
