about

Call Me Crazy started out as Supersonic, a track I recorded for The Shivers (my second album). This is a new take on the original idea. It may share the same basic framework, but it's really a completely different song. It's what I wanted to do with Supersonic when I first recorded it, but was unable to attain due to my own lack of perspective and confidence as a singer.

lyrics

There's oil slick on the sea today
Thirty pieces drifting down
And these ancient tankers, gone astray
You know that brave men die without a sound

I didn't want it, you tied my hands to the wheel
I didn't want it, I didn't think it was real
I didn't want it, you tied my hands to the wheel
I didn't want it, but dead men don't feel

You'd call me crazy
Who am I to blame?
Cause I loved a memory
Without a name

I didn't want it, you tied my hands to the wheel
I didn't want it, I didn't think it was real
I didn't want it, you tied my hands to the wheel
I didn't want it, but dead men don't feel

You'd call me crazy
Who am I to blame?
Cause I loved a memory
Without a name

You'd call me crazy
Who do I believe?
Cause these words move faster
Than the air we breathe

Ian Marquis Portland, Maine

My songs are tiny ecosystems: self-sustaining, self-contained, intricate, and densely layered. I'm captivated by found sound and immaculate production. I sample my own work. I chop up my guitars and create arrangements I could never have played. I treat my voice like an instrument, pushing and pulling it in otherworldly directions. I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles. ... more
