Lyrics:

VR 1:
Two pairs of brown eyes 
looking deep 
why am I not afraid?

Two smiles 
light up the night and I 
don’t know why. 

Two pasts 
like glass 
I was troubled and 
you were too. 

PRE-CH:
I don’t 
know where to go, but I 
know I wanna go with you. 

CH:
Write me a letter, 
there’s no better feeling I could find. 
Paint me a picture, 
let it linger like you 
looking at me. 

I’m not quite 
wrapped around your finger but I 
fly with you.

VR 2:
Two little white lies, 
but when it came time to tell I 
told you the truth. 

Two minutes of truth I 
now know you I don’t 
regret a thing. 

Two times 
I almost cried and you 
came through. 

CH:
Write me a letter, 
there’s no better feeling I could find. 
Paint me a picture, 
let it linger like you 
looking at me. 

I’m not quite 
wrapped around your finger but I 
fly with you. 

BRI:
Write me a letter, 
there’s no better feeling I could find. 
Paint me a picture, 
let it linger like you 
looking at me. 

CH:
Write me a letter, 
there’s no better feeling I could find. 
Paint me a picture, 
let it linger like you 
looking at me. 

I’m not quite 
wrapped around your finger but I 
fly with you.

OUT:
I fly with you.

Fly (Demo)

Believer

In my time, "Anita" was incredibly popular in the Netherlands and Belgium.
And at the same time, Magnum PI was all over the place.

I thought the two could come together nicely.

The rap in between is a sample that forges connections.

Lyrics:

VR 1:
He picks up flowers on the side of the road
And something tells me he’s got someone to hold
She picks up pastries at the bakery-to-go
And off she’s goes

PRE:
For such a little town
There’s a lot around
And I’m in the middle of it all
Crossing street lines
Wanting what’s not mine
But I’d still answer it’s call

CH:
Would all my troubles float away 
And paint the sky a charming grey?
Would all my tears turn into the rain?
Cause with every single step I take
This city seems to mend the break
From an old familiar ache
And I wonder
Would all my problems disappear
If I could leave my heart right here?

VR 2:
She rides her blue bike on the sidewalk alone
He reads the paper with his morning cup of Joe
And something tells me I’m not ready to go
Do I have to go?

(PRE)
(CH)

BRI:
On a flight back to Chicago, I-L
But in my mind
I’m already somewhere else

PRE:
It’s a big bright town
And it’s still so loud
But it ain’t what I want now

(CH)

Leave My Heart (Work Tape)

Like me

lyrics:

[verse]
you sparkle and gleam like a boat out at sea
you give me butterflies you're such a surprise
you make me flutter in the wind like a lost piece of paper
Maybe if you play your cards right my love will never taper

[pre-chorus]
oh-oh-oh
i've got more i can show 
oh-oh-oh
i just want you to know

[chorus]
You're as cute as a button
Babe, yeah you're truly something
The one that stole my heart
You make me fly up so high like a bird in the sky
My love for you will never die

[verse]
You're eyes they make me flutter
When i think of you I stutter
Can never find the words to say
When i have your hand in mine I feel I can soar
You're a dream my darling leave me wanting more

[pre-chorus]
oh-oh-oh
i've got more i can show 
oh-oh-oh
i just want you to know

[chorus]
You're as cute as a button
Babe, yeah you're truly something
The one that stole my heart
You make me fly up so high like a bird in the sky
My love for you will never die

You're A Dream

Thinkin Too Much

Blessings Abound

Slowly

Run Free

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

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.
