As ek woorde gehad het wat engele kon laat huil
Maar jou liefde ontbreek, sal ek dit alles verruil
Al verstaan ek die geheimenisse, drome, en lig
Is ek niks nie, my lief, sonder jou in my sig

Jy't my hare gekam met jou vingers een nag
Toe die krag afgaan en die wêreld stil was
Jy’t gelag, half-asem, soos iemand wat weet
Dat môre gaan kom — en dat dit ons dalk vergeet

Want die grootste bly jy
Nie in stilte nie of vrede nie
Maar in storms en onrus, in ly
Jy’t niks belowe nie, maar jy het gebly
Want die grootste van alles — bly jy

Jy’t my geleer om stadig te wees
Dat stilte ons albei kan breek of genees
Jy’s nie my rede nie, o, jy’s nie my rede nie
Jy’s waar ek is, sonder jou is ek nie tevrede nie.

Oom Koos Doep het gesê die liefde is ’n vuur
Maar ek het jou leer ken as ’n lig teen die muur
Nie ’n vlam wat verteer nie 
of 'n lied wat skree nie
Maar ’n asem, ’n hand, wat stil bly lê
Maar ’n asem, ’n hand, wat stil bly lê

Jy bly in my stilte
Jy bly in my naam
Jy bly in die goed wat ek nooit kon beaam
En al sal die wêreld ons stories vergeet
Wil ek net he jy moet weet
Die grootse bly jy.

Ja, wil ek net he jy moet weet
Die grootse bly jy.

Die Grootse Bly Jy

This song is about injustice and man’s attitude towards money rather than people. 
Trumps over here playing golf ? Who cares 
He’s signed a trade deal with Europe today ? Who cares 
What about the innocent people of Gaza and the malnourished children ?

Skies on fire burning red
Ashes whisper where hope once bled
The air is heavy the silence loud
Fear is rising in the shrouded crowd

Missiles falling hearts are crying
The earth is screaming people dying
When the smoke clears who's still there
Skies on fire and no one cares

Skies of fire .mp3

Inner roads

In Ireland, we have a tradition of lighting a candle for someone who is struggling, or to remember loved ones. Kept well, the flame shines bright to remind us of them. Light A Candle is that sentiment, but also  a song to remind us of those who are away, but we expect to return..... in this life or the next.

This is a Demo I've been working on for some time. It's a sentimental Ballad with feeling and message. It's not perfect, It's not finished, I'm fighting emotions and energy to get it done.

Hope you like it :-)


Light a Candle For Me (Demo)

In the depths of June, a foreign sky
I caught your gaze, you caught my eye
Your voice, a sound I didn’t know
But it felt like home, though we’re far from both
And I’m a long way from home

I crossed the sea, I left my shore
To find a love I’d never known before
You gave me dreams, you gave me fire
But distance pulls at the heart's desire
And I’m a long way from home

'Cause we're a long way from home
Two hearts beating in a place unknown
Through the language of a love we’ve grown
Can we hold on, or are we letting go?
'Cause we're a long way from home
Every step feels like we’re still alone
But there’s beauty in the love we’ve shown
Are we stronger or just overthrown?

So tell me now, where do we go?
Our story’s more than words can show
Can you feel it in this fragile state?
The way we’ve come so far
Now is there anything to hold on to
If there is, would we keep believing
That I belong to you and you belong to me
'Cause I belong to you and you belong to me
'Cause I belong to you and you belong to me
'Cause I belong to you and you belong to me

Long Way From Home

Broken Harbour is a raw New Zealand folk rock performance, recorded live with just voice, guitar, and the presence of a small crowd. Written in a dark, poetic style inspired by underground legends, it captures the weight of rusted harbours, silence heavier than words, and tides that never forget.

The song blends Kiwi authenticity with existential poetry, echoing the raw acoustic tradition of indie folk while keeping a modern edge. You can hear the intimacy of the bar, the creak of the guitar strings.

For fans of live acoustic sessions, indie folk rock, and songs that sound like they were pulled straight from a late-night set in Wellington or Dunedin, this track brings an unfiltered, emotional experience.


Broken Harbour

[Verse 1]

I fall through broken glass,
the ground gives way again.
Hands are torn, names erased,
still a fire hides within.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
as long as breath is mine,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Verse 2]

For those whose hands went silent,
for children yet to be,
nothing here was wasted –
every break feeds memory.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
as long as breath is mine,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Bridge]

Torn apart, yet never empty,
scattered light still calls my name.
Every fracture is a window,
every silence holds a flame.

[Verse 3]

I carry them for fathers, for mothers,
for the ones who never came.
I carry them for son or daughter,
and for the echoes of my name.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
for past and future both,
I’ll carry the sparks through.
The thin link is you –
the thin link is you –
as long as I breathe,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Verse 4]

The world may build its distance,
may try to draw a line,
but nothing can erase you,
your love is still in mine.
I planned to always hold you,
and I always will remain.
No silence and no distance
can ever change your name.

[Chorus]
No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
for past and future both,
I’ll carry the sparks through.
The thin link is you –
the thin link is you –
as long as I breathe,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

Nearly like a Virgin

A mix of old-fashioned psychedelic rock with hip hop elements.
I hope you like this new track I made!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

I said too much, and I’m lost in the row 
Hands on my face, I don’t care who will know 
Pressure keeps rising, it’s starting to show 
Time slips away, but it still moves slow

A fracture, faster than a voice aloud
A script stripped silent, machinery bowed 
A sparkless heat, no flame to allow 
Time erased, displaced, replaced, here and now

Fingers slipping, wires shake 
Every signal starts to break 
Falling forward, blind and fast 
This is a moment built to last

Fields ripple, emitting their rays
Hands faceless, traceless, sweep all away 
Curves reverse where straight lines lay 
Spirals spiral, doors decay

Through spirals, trials of turning, burning 
Equations breaking, taking, yearning 
Measures bending, ending unseen 
Dance collapsing, grasping the screen

Signals scatter, shatter, obey 
Clouds fracture, capture, drift astray 
Orbits weighted, fated to ground 
Noise remaining, draining sound

Cut the cord and let it fall 
No escape, I take it all 
Through the pressure, through the fire 
Feed the machine my desire

Lights dividing, hiding streams  
Patterns breaking, faking schemes  
Hands of motion, skin they rend  
Pulse resetting, bending to end  

Gears lock tight, the edges grind  
No escape from the intertwined
Tension rising, nothing spared  
One more breath and the core is bared

Break the signal, tear the chain  
Scream the code into the rain  
Every cycle torn apart  
Hammer beats a burning heart

Every step suspended, defended in glass  
Every breath arrested, contested, will pass  
Not here, not then  
Only stillness again  
Where light cannot last, where time cannot cast

Not here, not then

No Crown, No Gold
