about

A brief and bouncy soundtrack to the wide-eyed, innocent love of 9-year-old kids meeting—and falling in (something resembling) love—where their backyards touch. The chords offer a clever nod to the seventies, enhancing the nostalgia of it all. The only thing it’s missing is a jar of fireflies.

“I Took An Oath” also features original artwork by Allison Moore, an American ex-pat living in England. She’s also responsible for the original painting used on the cover of “This Is The Sound” and Ian’s most recent full-length, “Now We’re Golden”. This single was co-written with writing partner Chris Newkirk and features the prodigious talents of Holler, Wild Rose’s John Mosloskie.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Wear this ring
Send a message
If we get split apart

It’s so easy
To get lost
In these big backyards

I took an oath
To climb the oak
I made a pledge
To break the hedge
And find you

A diamond ring
Will show the way
When it gets dark

A secret code
In every stone
Deciphered in our hearts

I took an oath
To climb the oak
I made a pledge
To break the hedge
And find you

I took an oath
To climb the oak
I made a pledge
To break the hedge
And find you

about

For most of the past decade, the quietly famous Ian McGlynn has been churning out heartbreakers and soul stirrers. Songs ... more that have served as accompaniment to major motion pictures and minor heartaches.

You may have heard of him. You may not have heard of him. The important thing is, of course, that you hear him. less
