lyrics

won’t you tell me once again
the way it used to feel back when
my dreams were too naive to settle down
i use to see it clear as day
but years between have separated
the things i saw from how i see them now

bells are ringing
but no one hears a sound
I’ll keep singing
when it's ashes to ash as we burn to the ground

cause once upon a time is just
a lie disguised by honest trust
of what a man remembers used to be
and memory is just a game
where pieces vanish as they’re played
and hands can change to what you want to see

bells are ringing
but no one hears a sound
i’ll keep singing
when it's ashes to ash as we burn to the ground

and since there’s only so much space
inside my head, my mind erases
days to pave the way for one more year
as all my fragile memories
replay their lonely tragedies
just waiting for the day they disappear

bells are ringing
but no one hears a sound
i’ll keep singing
it's ashes to ash as we burn to the ground

about

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.

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? Ian Galipeau

SEER
by Modern Fools

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. Ian Galipeau

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. Ian Galipeau
