Ian Abel: Not Our Song

Ian Abel’s “Not Our Song” is a raw, melodic reckoning with the echoes of a love that’s overstayed its welcome. The composition grappled with the ghost of a relationship, knowing it was time to let go. That pulses with the duality ache of nostalgia and the sharp clarity of moving on, using music as a metaphor—the “B-side” lover, the “played-out” melody—to mirror the dissonance of holding onto something that no longer fits.
