Hi guys, here's one of my songs: Sweep me off my feet.
I am anxious to find out what you think of it.
There is more where this came from!

Sweep me off my feet

I wrote this 10 years ago. It's a quite mellow but catchy song

It's allright

Today, 10 years ago my younger sister died. Of course it left us all speechless. The night before the cremation I sat down with my guitar and within minutes, the music and lyrics came to me. The next day during the ceremony, I sat down next to her and played this song in public. One week later, I went to the studio with my friend Hein and asked him to play along with his piano. So we recorded it and added some strings to make it complete but small. This is the result. I gave my family a copy and never played it again. Now 10 years later it seems a good time to share my feelings through this song...

Peggy you'll never know

Also one of my older songs. Easy going... Also recorded at Hein's place 6 years ago.

It's so easy

This is a killer song from my old HardRock band SteelForce. Recorded in the 80's.
In that time my band was doing quite well in the rockscene. The highlights were: Vara's vuurwerk and interview with Henk Westbroek on radio, live at 'Veronica's Countdown Café', numerous live performances on radio, twice de "Grote prijs van Nederland', interview with the great Alfred Lagarde (R.I.P) and support Act for Def Leppard in Noorderligt Tilburg. Great times and playing all over the country. Thanks to all of the bandmembers and sorry it had to end...!
The good news is, I still have a lot of recordings from our first album called 'Make Way' so, there's a lot more where this came from...
Enjoy this one and share your thoughts with me: andriese@xmsnet.nl

Waiting for the night

This song was my first Rock Ballad. I wrote this in the 80's for my band SteelForce. Recorded at Soundlab Studios Zwolle in the Netherlands. Damn, I still love this one and hope you like it too! Enjoy and please leave a comment...

I'm still in love with you

Long time ago, inspired by my friend Hein's piano sound, this song came up in my mind instantly. While I was still connecting my guitar to the studio equipment, Hein was playing piano to warm up a bit. Suddenly the riff he played hit me and I said WTF is that? Hang on to it until I'm finished tuning my guitar! 10 minutes later the basic idea fot this one was born. Somewhere early in the morning (or very late that night), this one was finished and I dedicated it to my wife Jacqueline... Enjoy!


Forever yours

Here is another instrumental song called "Latin Moods"

Latin Moods

Here's another track from SteelForce called "Queen of dreams". Maybe you know the feeling when you wake up from this beautiful dream, of which you wish it would never stop... 

Queen Of Dreams

Just a good song from my band SteelForce. Twin guitars with my guitar buddy of all times; Gerard. During the 80's we kicked some serious ass.
