about

I wrote "Leaves" on a stranger's piano in Paris and recorded it in a tiny village off the coast of Ireland. This song is about the depth of loneliness after love loss;

my breakup song.

In the end, as I observed the tree outside my window change leaves and become anew, I understood I was never really truly alone.

There's hope in the wind and in the cry of the baby next door.

The song ends with the sound of a door bell, a promise of new life.

lyrics

The leaves on the tree are falling down
I sit and I wait
For you to call
For you to call

The baby next door is crying still
Nobody knows I’m here
All alone
All alone
Oooooo

The things that last forever
They fade when evening comes
My heart is not that clever
To see right through all of the lies.

The leaves on the tree are turning green
I leave my bed still warm
It’s time to go
It’s time to go
I pack my bag and close the door
I listen to the wind
I’m not alone,
I’m not alone

Ooooooo

about

Ingrid Serban San Francisco, California

Somewhere in a Transylvanian village, a 4-year old little girl stands on a dirt mound and sings.

Two years later, in a dark room with narrow windows overlooking a dirt courtyard, she sings for the music school entrance exam.

A few weeks later, 500kg of bronze and wood take up residence her room. The piano smells of old things and neglect.
A new life begins
for the little girl and her piano.
