Ian Van Dahl began in 2000 as Christophe Chantzis, Erik Vanspauwen and Martine Theeuwen, who was referred to as Marsha. Marsha was soon replaced by vocalist Annemie Coenen. Later, Peter Luts and David Vervoort (more famously known as Dave McCullen) joined the group. In 2008, the group changed its name to AnnaGrace retaining only Annemie Coenen and Peter Luts as members.
Annemie Coenen was co-writer and co-producer of all the songs on the second Ian van Dahl album, "Lost and Found," and wrote many of the lyrics for the first album, "Ace." She has also written music for the group Lasgo (including #1 Hit βSurrenderβ). Peter Luts was behind some of the remixes on the first album by Ian Van Dahl, and then he was brought in to co-produce the full second album. Peter has also produced other bands such as Lasgo and Dee Dee, and is well known among DJs and clubgoers for his remixes.
State Of Mind
Ian Van Dahl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When life seems to fade in black and white
It's never too late to change your mind
Live to fight another day
A clear blue sky is moving your way
Believe me Dark clouds, they come and they go
Live for today, forget tomorrow
Time to shake the dust from your feet
Leave your worries for tomorrow
Ain't nothing but a state of mind
Tell yourself that you can do it
It's not too late
Time to set your dreams in motion
Ain't nothing but a state of mind
Tell yourself that you can do it
It's not too late
