Their music is piano-driven rock akin to Ben Folds Five with a more serious tone, Jackson Browne and early 70s Elton John. The band worked with producer/engineer Eddie Kramer on their independently released debut album, More Than It Would Seem, in 1999. They relocated to New York City after graduation and were signed to Reprise by David Kahne. After Dixon respectfully declined the keyboard position on the Paul McCartney world tour to instead focus on production of the band's major label debut, On A Rolling Ball was released in 2002.
Their song "All Will Be Well" off of the 2005 EP Live at World Cafe rose to moderate prominence when it was used in promos for the NBC show Conviction.
The band released their debut album for Fantasy Records, The Gabe Dixon Band, in August 2008. In its initial days of release, it has received praise from the music press and fellow artists. The band toured the United States from Aug 2008 through Nov 2008 with native New Yorker turned Canadian resident, newcomer Justin Nozuka.
The song Find My Way was the opening track to the film The Proposal (2009) starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.
Gabe Dixon is also currently a member of the band Supertramp (as of Fall, 2010).
Gabe's solo album, One Spark, will be released on August 23, 2011. The album is produced by Marshall Altman and will feature a duet with Alison Krauss.

Ever After You
Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Easy come and easy go
Has never been the case
Dreams of you are hard to erase
Call me crazy, call me mad
Call me what you will
But I'm sane enough to know that I love you still

They say that life goes on,

But I've been dead since you've been gone
I think they were wrong
So who's the fool'

I am ever after you
Always ever after you
Tell me what I have to do
Is there a way to be happy ever after you'
Ever after you

There is no psychology
And no amount of prayers
That can cure the pain when you're not there
Cause this is not supposed to be
How a love should look
After you have closed the storybook

They say that life goes on
But I've been dead since you've been gone
I think they were wrong,
So what's the use'

I am ever after you
Always ever after you
Tell me what I have to do
Is there a way to be happy ever after you'

Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out,
Reach out, reach out, reach out
I'm not going anywhere

I am ever after you
Always ever after you

Tell me what I have to do
Is there a way to be happy ever after you'

Overall Meaning

The Gabe Dixon Band's "Ever After You" is a song about a love that is seemingly impossible to get over. The lyrics speak to the heartache following a breakup, with the singer struggling to move on from the pain and memories that come with losing someone they love. Despite declarations that they are "sane enough to know" they should let go, the singer acknowledges that thoughts of their lost love are impossible to erase, signifying the depth of their feelings.

The song also touches on the idea that love stories don't always end happily ever after. The chorus repeatedly states "I am ever after you" in a way that reinforces how deeply the singer still cares for their past love, and how they cannot see a future that doesn't involve them. The final lines of the song, "reach out, reach out," show a yearning for a connection that seems unlikely to ever be fully restored.

Overall, "Ever After You" is a poignant reminder of how powerful love can be, even after it's gone. The song speaks to the longing and heartache that can linger on after a breakup, and the difficulty in accepting that not all stories end happily.

But I'm sane enough to know that I love you still
Despite others' opinions, my heart tells me that my love for you is justified.

They say that life goes on,
According to others, time should heal my pain.

Nothing can bring me relief from the agony of your absence.

Cause this is not supposed to be
This is not how love should have ended for us.

How a love should look
Our storybook ending was taken away too soon.

After you have closed the storybook
Our love story ended too soon, and I cannot move on.

So what's the use'
What is the point of anything if I cannot be with you?

Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out, Reach out, reach out, reach out
I will continue to reach out to you in every way possible.

I'm not going anywhere
My love for you will never fade, and I will always be here for you.
