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 ‘Surrender’). 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.

Ian Van Dahl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I opened up my heart to you.
My heart to you.
I always thought that you and I
Could stand the test of time.
Now tears are falling.
Tears are falling.
Tears are falling.
Tears are falling.
Nothing else that I can do.
All those tears in your eyes
Can't comfort me.
So tell me right now
What you decide.
All those tears in your eyes
Can't comfort me.
All those tears in your eyes
I think I'm better off without you
Tell me why you try to hide
All the secrets deep inside.
Deep inside.
So baby, tell me face to face
Are you gonna stay?
All those tears in your eyes
Can't comfort me.
So tell me right now
What you decide.
All those tears in your eyes
Can't comfort me.
All those tears in your eyes
I think I'm better off without you
The lyrics to Ian Van Dahl's song Tears reflect the pain and sadness felt after a break-up. The song starts with the singer reminiscing on the day their ex-partner came into their life and how they opened up their heart to them, believing that they could stand the test of time. However, as the chorus repeats, tears are falling and nothing else can be done to mend the broken relationship. As much as the singer may have wanted to find comfort in their ex-partner's tears, they realize that they cannot. The second verse shifts to the singer trying to understand why their ex-partner would hide secrets from them and asks them to be honest about whether they will stay or not. The chorus repeats and the song ends with the singer realizing that they may be better off without their ex-partner and their tears.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of heartbreak and the difficulty in moving on from a past relationship. Despite the singer's initial belief that their relationship would withstand the test of time, the tears they cry represent their realization that it has ended and the sadness that comes with it. The lyrics also touch on the theme of honesty and communication within a relationship, as the singer asks their ex-partner to be truthful.

When my girlfriend and I broke up in 2002 after 9 years together this song helped me cry and get over the loss of what we had had together. Even though it was the right thing to do to go our seperate ways I still had an enormous hole in my soul that she and our relationship had filled before and it was hard to move on. I am married today to another woman and have two beautiful kids with her but the memories of 2002 and that breakup come alive instantly when I hear Ian Van Dahl's song and tears still come to my eyes. Thank you for that tune Ian!
