Soul singer Koos van Roon joins sax player Klaas Versteeg in one of their favorite sixties classics ONLY ONE WOMAN.
Originally written by the BeeGees in 1968 for a band calles The Marbles.

Only One Woman

this piece started with a field recording from the same spot where this photo was taken over the summer at a farm near Johnsonville, NY. I wanted to capture the full peace, tranquility, and breadth of the view and how it felt standing there, so the composition evolved from there into "The End of the Valley"

Lyrics written by David Lawrence 
music written by Klaas Versteeg
Played, recorded and sung by Klaas Versteeg.

On the surface of the sea, gentle ripples ride.
To us, the water looks so clear and warm.
But far away, for others, there is a crashing tide
And clouds that surely mean another raging storm.
 
If you’re lucky, very lucky,
Then life is like a walk on golden sands.
But it’s different, very different,
If you have to work the soil in troubled lands.

On the surface of the sea, gentle ripples ride.
To us, the water looks so clear and warm.
But far away, for others, there is a crashing tide
And clouds that surely mean another raging storm.
 
We’re so lucky, very lucky,
That fate decided we should live in peace.
When for others, many others,
Fears of war or drought and famine never cease.

For Others - Klaas Versteeg
