While you wait, an attempt at some UMO vibes with some swing drums, and a picture of a smaller me with some swing fun. Recorded a little over a year ago, already.

Polythene Pam

Voorproefje van mijn eigen project genaamd 'Louis's Legendary Liveshow'. 

I tried to be a copywriter, cagefighter
Tried to be elusive to backbiters
Became an author with a writer's block
Now I'm trying a career in ancient rock
To be or not to be
That didn't lead to improved promiscuity
No, but all right

There's only ten spectators out there
But the show must go on
The invited absents
Will be missing the fun
Of the audience, after the intro,
More than half will be gone
But we'll keep on playing
'Cause the show must go on

All right, it's a final attempt
May I have your attention?
Oh by the way, it's worth to mention
That's it for the introduction
You see, I wasn't born a fortunate one
Now raise your hands for a bar or four
For those who don't
I'll remember your face!



Louis's Legendary Liveshow (Must Go On)

This song is called Everything I'm Not, and it refers to how I am constantly inspired by my heroes. How I look up to others, music legends but also people I meet in my everyday life. And how I often think I am trying to be like them too much. But the song is also about realising that their influence makes me the musician I am now and will always continue to inspire me to become a better musician. You'll always be able to find "them" in me and in everything I create. 

Well, that was a bit personal. As you can see, I am busy writing and recording new songs in a different way than I'm used to. As I still haven't been able to record and publish a lot of my earlier material for the still upcoming art rock album Louis's Legendary Liveshow(written in the same era as, for instance, Orchard Avenue, which I recorded with my band Seamy License over a year ago), I have developed in songwriting, composing and, most importantly, I have grown more confident about the things I created / am creating. That's one of the reasons why I will never be true to one specific genre.
