The Arsonist

Is it madness?
This burning desire inside
A fault in the wires
An arc that ignites
Through the static
The embers of hunger within
Begging an answer
I'm scared to admit
Such a simple thing
Dancing with the flames
I can't look away
It's like magic
The way that a fire can turn
Something to nothing
But ashes and hurt
In its passion
The ends and beginnings consumed
A life into fuel
Into carbon, reduced
Such a simple thing
Dancing with the flames
I can't look away
When your sparks
Meet the tinder
Of my heart
Made of willow branches
Two by two
Crosshatches bloom
Into smoke and
Disappear

Baptized

Dream lover, there's a flame inside my soul
I yearn to slip into
Your silver waters, taste your sweet relief on my
Skin before I'm consumed
Your ocean carries me on currents warm
I'm swallowed in the waves
Turned over underwater, drag me to the deep
Steal my last breath away
Take me down, take me down
I am baptized in the blue
Light fractures into layers underneath
Your darkness wait for me
Black magic wraps my coral bones up in your spell
Drown every memory
I wash up tangled on an empty shore
Brine running through my veins
Kiss of oxygen that stirs me from the restless dark
I hear you whisper my name
Take me down, take me down
I am baptized in the blue

Running For Gold
03:20
|

|
Racing past the lilacs with your hand held tight in mine
Running for gold in the cool morning light
It’s nothing and everything, it's never quite enough
Letting you go while I’m holding you up
Time just keeps
Time just keeps
Time just keeps carrying
Through
Playing by the maple, a flower in your hair
The drone of the bees filling dead summer air
The heat comes in waves like the moon pulls the sea
The ebb and the flow, slipping out of my reach
Time just keeps
Time just keeps
Time just keeps carrying
Through
I wouldn't trade these days
For anything
Watching through the twilight as a faraway star
Pokes through the curtain, a hole in the dark
The magic of the little moments, written on your face
I'll give all I can, 'til it's all I can take
Time just keeps
Time just keeps
Time just keeps carrying
Time just keeps
Time just keeps
Time just keeps carrying
Time just keeps
Time just keeps
Time just keeps carrying
Time just keeps
Time just keeps
Time just keeps carrying
Through

Ian Galipeau Keene, New Hampshire
I write songs about ideas and characters I find interesting. I've always been fascinated by the grey areas in life, and writing music is one of the best ways I've found to explore the nuances.
Ian Galipeau recommends:
Satellites and Frequencies
by The 123's
Catchy melodies, interesting and thought-provoking lyrics, time signature wizardry, and one of my favorite guitar solos ever recorded (on the title track). What's not to love?
go to album
Josh and the band manage to fill 9 songs with nostalgia and longing without ever getting depressing. The album mixes Byrds-style country with 60s retro-pop, without every knocking you off-balance.

How Cruel That Hunger Binds
by Dietrich Strause
Dietrich's thoughtful lyrics are alive in his effortless melodies. Each song is beautifully produced, served by instrumentation that varies between intimate and expansive. "Around the World" is a gem.
