Rocket fuel regular
Or rocket fuel light?
Said the Venusian
He was ever so polite

She said, give me regular
And lit a cigar
He knew straight away
That this girl was from Mars

No smoking in here
You’ll blow us all up
She said, give me ya phone number
And I might look you up

He went red
She remained green
Coz Martians and Venusians
Are like meat with ice cream

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream

He went red
She remained green
But when you think about it
What’s wrong with meat with ice cream

He gave her his number
That’s  what they did
She gave hime a wink
And he fluttered his lids

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
He gave her his number
And a little while later they had green and red kids

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
You know what I mean

Meat With Ice Cream

Meat With Ice Cream (feat. Janine Levinson & Jonathan Beckenstein)

What’s it like in paradise?

RUNNING UP THAT HILL

Like so many this last week I got mesmerized again after so many years by the beautiful songwriting in this song by and of Kate Bush. A song from my young teenager years, released in 1985, that already impacted my younger self. And now due to a Netflix series called "Stranger Things" its back with a vengeance for younger generations. 

A quote from LIAM HESS, May 30, 2022:  
Over the weekend, the song shot to the top of the U.S. iTunes charts, with the show’s largely teenage fanbase taking to Twitter and TikTok to post about their new musical discovery from decades past. Others, however—notably long-time Bush fans of a certain generation, who have patiently sat through many decades of radio silence from a musician notorious for taking long hiatuses and doing minimal press—rolled their eyes. “How could you not know about the genius of Kate Bush already?”

 Great music is eternal after all.

This is my humble attempt at it in the form of an acoustic guitar trio piece. I hope you can enjoy my cover of this classic.

As always I really appreciate your likes, comments and shares!
-Dan

Näin Sydämeeni Joulun Teen (live instrumental guitar, orig. composition by Kassu Halonen )

The biblical text speaks of angels, its interpreters sometimes of angels, sometimes of men. This has philological as well as biblical reasons. The word "angel" is a foreign word, the preceding Greek word means "messenger" and can be used of supernatural powers as well as of humans. Humans can also be referred to as "angels" in the Bible (Malachi 2:7; Mark 1:2).

When speaking of humans, the motif of ascension is unproblematic. Piety and one's own striving for virtue can be symbolized by the image of the ascent, the ladder, as is then the case in the history of art.

Jacobs Ladder

A Secret Place

At The Fucking Bar

Here is the well that they dug you
there neath the salt and the snow
pushing you in was the easy part love
pulling you out I don't know

All of the lies that they told you
are just like the ice on a stream
under the wright 
of the words they won't state
all of the things that they mean.

Noted as ‘One to watch’ by NewSoundWales, Siobhan McCrudden’s has been described as a singer who is gifted with one of the finest voices in contemporary UK folk music.

Raised in London to parents with Scottish and Irish roots, Cardiff-based singer songwriter McCrudden, crafts songs of intensity and sweetness, recounting personal stories whilst reflecting a vivid fascination with dark folk tales and superstitions.

Siobhan’s early performances found her on the coffee house circuit of New York. From these beginnings she went on to play larger gigs both in America and at home, performing at festivals and folk clubs. Her first single ‘The Mermaid in Your Glass’, was on the top 10 Fresh Favs on BBC Radio 6 Music - Fresh On The Net and was played on BBC Radio Wales (Bethan Elfyn, Adam Walton), Radio Cardiff, newsoundwales, The Folk Pilot, CuillinFM, PhonicFM, Lonely Oak Radio, Symfozone Radio and Spotify playlists Double J, Big Tune IMR, Sweater Weather and more..

Reviews:
‘Oh Little Red’ bleeds with tension and the wonderfully arranged strings push and pull every last drop of feeling out of the piece. Folk Radio UK

‘Absolutely beautiful, just stunning, the voice is something else’ Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales

‘There is a clear debt in Siobhan's sound to early Joni Mitchell albums. There is also a definite familiarity with late sixties British folk bands such as Fairport Convention and Pentangle in her cultural hinterland’ From the Margins

‘I was blown away by her voice, her guitar playing ... She really is something special’ Bethan Elfyn, BBC Radio Wales

New Album out now! https://danielvandenberg.bandcamp.com/album/short-tales-for-three-guitars

This site is for my musical avatar or alter ego. Architect/partner/company owner by day, I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds. You will find a wide range of guitar oriented music, ranging from Jazz to Blues, Flamenco to Classical, Rock to Fusion. And many collaborations with some great musicians.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments: Renaissance lute, flamenco guitar, classical guitar, steel string guitar and electric guitar with which I have been playing in styles ranging from rock and metal in my early years to classical music, some American Folk music, jazz rock, prog rock, flamenco nuevo and fusion.

It’s been a splendid time here so far, in collaborating with a lot of brilliant musicians on SoundCloud and sharing ideas and the passion for music. 
My collaborations are with musicians that I have a deep respect for and have a mutual appreciation for real instruments, and musical styles that focus on letting the instruments “shine”. 

Here is some technical data:
Currently I am using Amplitube and Auria on an iPad as DAW with Final Touch for mastering. For acoustic recording I use an Apogee microphone.

Guitars are:
Fender AMERICAN ELITE STRATOCASTER® HSS SHAWBUCKER, 2016
Fender Stratocaster Squire (first edition: JV-series)
Ibanez JS100, Joe Satriani model
Evh Frankie Striped MN Relic R/W/B

EVH 5150 Series Standard Stealth Black EB guitar
Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Olympic White RW
Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSH 2PT CM Mahogany Natural
Paulino Bernabe, Taller de Guitarras, Model-50, 2001, classical concert guitar
Marín, Modelo Estudio /9 Calidad, 1997, Malaga, Spain, flamenco guitar
Joan Cashimira, modelo 145, spruce top w/ cocobolo sides and back, Gata de Gorgos (Alicante), 2015

I hope you will enjoy my music.
