Into the blue

With Iron Lungs Master1

Excerpt from a live performance @RTV Katwijk

Sweep Me Away

I'm a horse without a brittle on the run..
A ship rudderless on full sea
A wave pounding your shore
A battering ram at your dore
A wildfire that can't be stopped
- only be to be silenced by the hand of God

Taming The Tongue

I wove a web of satin sheets
And shut the world outside
Now satin is all i see
Till it hurts my eyes

On the street 
100 faces 
all look lovely to me
but moreover i want satin sheets
to entangle me

My heart knows no harbour
though it should
till it finds you 
in these satin sheets

I wove a web of satin sheets

It's easier to count beads of rosaries
they remain silent 
in my ear a drone is caught
remnant of exhortations
by the spirit of God

Return with blazing fire
Your spirit overflows me
In Him my soul is quietened
unlike in satin sheets

Satin Sheets

What a friend (revisited)

Created as a meditative accompaniment to a sermon on the life of Abraham. It tells of the journey he must have made with God and learning how to trust in His promises. To me, still a struggle...

Grains of Sand

While reading one of the major Prophets, Jeremiah, this song sprung to mind. 

Lo a Lion

Broken Dreamz Try Out



Biography
Basically, Garrith is just me, Gertjan de Jong, and whatever boils up. So forgive me if one track sounds like Nick Cave on speed and another like David Eugene Edwards singing easy tune. I am a hopeless eclectic. What can be said, however, is that most songs are prosaic; they tell a story. Being born and raised in a country that has its roots in Calvinism, it is not surprising some of it trickles through. Enjoy!
