A wonderful dedication!  Impassioned music and vocals, so well done Bas!

Ik heb je tekst vertaald omdat ik nieuwsgierig was - ik werd bevestigd. Ik voelde dit gevoel bij wat je zong - dromerig en prachtig -Lilli

So great to hear this at this time, Bas, and I vaguely remember your previous recording too. Best wishes to you, mate!!!

Such a powerful poem and so appropriate to hear this version as a commemoration. Thanks Bas for sharing such a wonderful version

Love My Baby

In day light
All we ever and always
See is blue

My one flight
Will be higher than either 
Lies or truth

Home! Home!

By day light
All hope ever believed
May fall through

See us through

Father, can you take it away?
Sister, can you kill it today?

Lyrics:

You are beautiful
And i have completely fallen for you
Oh you are wonderful
And i run after you...

I will keep on running
You are absolutely stunning
Iam running after you
You're my hero
You're my glue
You lift me up
And i will never stop
Running fast after you..

Your smile is beautiful
Your hair so soft and smooth
Your arms so good and strong
Your eyes so deep and blue..

I will keep on running
You are absolutely stunning
Iam running after you
You're my hero
You're my glue
You lift me up
and i will never stop
Running fast after you...

Your heart is beautiful
Your words so smart and true
You're ears are listening
To my feet that run after you..

I will keep on running
You are absolutely stunning
Iam running after you
You're my hero
You're my glue
You lift me up
And i will never stop
Running fast after you....

Will Keep On Running W/ Janne Hennie

10 years ago, on February 22th 2014, Leo Vroman died at the age of 98, a Dutch poet and scientist (known for the Vroman effect), living in Forth Worth (Texas). A most wise and talented man, born in 1915 in Gouda, near to the city I live in. As a poet he is widely known for four lines:

Come tonight with tales /  how the war has disappeared /  and repeat them a hundred times /  all times I will weep

These lines are part of the poem ‘Peace’ he published a few years after WWII. He fled The Netherlands for the Nazi's and saw his fiancé only back after the war in America (surviving a Japanese camp during te war).

When he died, I recorded this song of the first three verses of his poem, using the well-known last lines as the chorus. I mixed it again (better understanding mixing now) and I'm still impressed by the power of his poem and its timeless message.

[rough translation]
PEACE
Comes a dove of hundred pounds,
an olive tree in its claws,
near to my ears with his mouth
full of sweet corn women,
full of cooing stories
how the war is gone
and repeats them hundred times:
All times I will weep

Since I so unexpectedly
jumped into a taxi
leaving a hole in the night
that’s becoming ever larger,
Since my soft tearful darling,
drought blushing of misery
stood still, stood still 
so that flint bounced in her loins
My skin is too dense and dry
in order to sweat in prayers,
creases tweaking, nontheless,
and ‘peace’ grinding, ‘peace’, ‘peace’

Love is a stinking miracle
of decapitated desires
if I have to live without peace
peace, God damned, peace;
As the ripping sound
with which I was separated from my love
scares me even now from the bed
where sometimes we both dream
that the war of yesterday
returns on felty feet,
that we, no longer fit for everything, 
yet again must lie down, run
and also scream in each other’s ears,
so desperate that we almost
dream we can hear ourselves.

[May I not curse 
when the fire of a long rebuilt city, 
rolling forth of a chamber wall,
blazes and keeps me awake?
It’s not the roasted kid, 
becoming fireworks, 
I feel terrible, terrible about,
It’s the age that nothing is happening,
when suddenly, in the middle of the house,
rises a tower of dirt,
long forgotten cellar mud,
quickly becoming unusable furniture,
blood-red flames and flaming
red blood, the surrounding air
wallpapered with living parts of dead yet
nice people, the eternal silence before the
surprised child in this column
is strangled and already raises the arms]

come tonight with tales 
how the war has disappeared 
and repeat them a hundred times
all times I will weep.

Sounds Of Goodbye

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..
