The Chicago-based upcoming singer-songwriter Lily Galin is fueled by one thing: Love. Just like every creator, artist, Lily makes music to express her understanding of that love. Love that builds stories and defines life. In her latest song, Tell me what’s your Story, Lily Galin delves deep into personal experiences and encourages listeners to question their own life’s story and to seek answers that might feel unhinged. With her roots originating from the beautiful Baltic land of Lithuania, Lily Galin brings a raw, wild, untouched quality to her music.

The magic lies in Lily’s graceful vocals. As she sings through the sinister, poetic lines of truth, her voice disarms the darkness and embraces the story with compassion. There’s not one insipid moment in her storytelling, just like her lyrics speak. “I’m here to live. No more hiding. I have to fight.” Lily’s narrative begins with the story of a void that lives within us all. It’s a place that feels like waste, a space filled with self-blame. But that, she knows, is a myth. Because within that void is gestating an invisible fire of desire, a fire that rises through self-control, perseverance, and courage. “Times are up. I go higher. I feel alive.” It is much like the phoenix; when the universe decides the time is right, one bursts into something that one is destined to. A spiritual soldier built with love and faith.
