Always On My Mind

Get It If You Need It

Blinded By Your Light

This is a special song.
The feeling that the song should convey was immediately clear.
The subs (basses) add an extra touch.

I'm really satisfied with the end result.

Got to let you know

Nefertiti refers to the EPiano used, called "EP8 Nefertiti".
She is also an ancient Egyptian queen, which -I guess- adds an extra layer of mystique.

Neferetiti

That's how I like it

Read Between The Lines

A sad story, with an uplifting end.
This is te Englisch version of the original song "Sinterklaas".
Hope you enjoy it.

One For Me

This is the final version of song that tells a story of a second reality that never existed. A longing for something that is not there.

And even though a ballad is not the thing for many of you out there,
it is the only genre that could express this feeling exactly as intended.

https://soundcloud.com/martinsaturnia is the guy that paints the words onto the music.

Please enjoy this slow dose of melancholy.

Another chance passed by -final- (ft. Saturnia)

Does anyone want to take a leap for the vocals on this one? Feel free to contact me. ;-)
I tried myself... but could not handle it.

---lyrics---
“I could call you a prophet
But I wouldn’t want to do it right now
I could call you a saint
But I wouldn’t want to call it that just yet

You appear in my dreams
You appear in my worst nightmare - and then,
Nobody hears my screams
There’s not a soul alive who feels my fears
I will call you my angel
My inner circle
My everything I know
Please now leave me
It’s getting worse I feel it in my soul

I could call you a prophet
Please now leave me
I will call you my angel
It’s getting worse I feel it in my soul
I could call you a prophet
Please now leave me
I will call you my angel
Please now leave me
I could call you a prophet

Please now leave me
I could call you a prophet
Please now leave me”

I Could Call You A Prophet

This is what it feeled like ;-
And I think my ah aaahs are quite good.

Lyrics
Hey Leila, I want you to know,
I have a crush on you since Friday.
And though I think, that the answer is no,
I need to ask you, this is my way.
Ok, Leila, you might need some time,
to overthink this situation.
If you feel the same, just let it show,
Let’s take a chance, let our feelings grow.
So take your time, I’ll be waiting here,
hoping you’ll see what is crystal clear.
And if Friday doesn’t suit you,
We’ll pick Monday for a rendezvous in town.
Hey Leila, it’s quiet here,
I think you didn’t get my message.
Hey Leila, I want you to know,
I have a crush on you since Friday.
Hey Leila,
Hey Leila,
Hey Leila,
Hey Leila.

Hey Leila

If you've made good music, then you should share it.
And that's what I believe I have done with the music behind "Hey Leila."
So, let's do it humbly as well, and remove my voice from it.

And you know what? You can download it.
Because nowadays, too much junk is being made, and there's even the expectation of making money from it. I want to oppose that.

And even worse. Some think the world needs to be divided in a good part and a bad part. That is, of course, completely absurd when you consider the ordinary citizen, which I hope is you and me. I have listeners in Ukraine, Russia, Israel, and the USA... not Iran though (I think they are blocking me there :-) )... but I could go on for many other places where situations are not quite good at the moment.

We all need a touch of sentiment. Whether it's in music, art, in literature, or simply in watching the blossoms on the trees. Deep within ourselves, we need to reflect on what we are doing. That's quickly going in the wrong direction nowadays. But I strongly believe in the power of humanity. Okay, I'm not a political knight either, but I just wanted to get this off my chest.

I hope you ALL can enjoy this blend of pop and classical music.
Do something with it. I would like that.

Complicated

22 years ago, in 2003, "Venus In Flames" (the band of singer-songwriter Jan De Campenaere) released this song.

This morning, I heard it on the radio once again. And since it was raining anyway, I thought: come on let's go for it: If I ever wanted to cover songs, this should be absolutely one of them.
It is a hidden gem.

I would recommend everyone to stream the original.
It stands out in its simplicity. But be aware. You'll never get this one out of your mind/ear again.

original Lyrics

"I'm on a lonely trip
A highway of melody
Making the pieces fit
Learning to set them free

I'm trying to clear my mind
Tuning what's out of key
I'm the godforsaken kind
Thinking only of me

Please don't break me
Please don't leave
You still got to make a better man out of me

It's never good enough
There's always more to come
You know it never stops
It's a labyrinth of song

Please don't break me
Please don't leave
You still got to make a better man out of me
Please don't break me
Please don't leave
You still got to make a better man out of me"

Amores Para Débiles

I use synths, keys, an old guitar and occasionally my voice, or that of friends.
Knee cymbals turned out to be quite useful, just as beautiful samples do.

Anyway, anything is allowed and possible, as long as it brings the desired result.

I want to have explored all styles at least once someday.

And I hope you enjoy it in the meantime.
