Steady, Over

Little sister
hold your head up high
let the magic flow through 
as you hold in the tide 
skyscrapers and heavy beams
you’re made of stronger things
tightrope across
and let loose your wings
Say the words, rip it free 
it was your gift all along
Don’t need feathers  
or help from anyone
You’re okay alone

Message sent, hold your breath  
Steady, over
make the drop, now ascend
along with everybody else
Message received, now descend
Steady, over
find your rage, reel it in
along with everybody else
Little brother 
follow your good nights
sleep it off and recognize  
the world is yours 
to gain
Let it climb and oscillate  
you surge and palpitate 
you’re iron and electric
you knock yourself out
Are you with it  
Dig in your heels
Relax 
into the ground, settle in

Message sent, hold your breath  
Steady, over
make the drop, now ascend
along with everybody else
Message received, now descend
Steady, over
find your bearing
 and get clear
along with everybody else
Steady, over
along with everybody else
Steady, over  
along with everybody else
Steady, over
along with everybody else
Steady, over

Steady, Over

lyrics:

oh the unquantifiable weight...
the undeniable... wait...
oh irrefutable beauty
of mathematical poetry...

one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head
one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head

soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|

there's no indifference
or uncertainty...
we both know what we want
(can you feel it?)
can you feel the urgency?

one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head
one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head

soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|

Soon

LYRICS:

you can't fight fire with fire
someone always gets burned.
i've got this raging desire
tidal waves can't be turned.

ooh ooh...

i could burn down your house
turn your whole world upside down.
don't swim in deep water, girl, no...
there's every chance that you'll drown

ooh ooh...

and you...
what would you do for love?
would you cry for me?
yeah you!
what would you do for love?
would you die for me...?

you can't fight fire with fire
someone always, always gets burned
you'd do exactly the same
if the tables were turned...

Fire With Fire

I was born one of these music gifted kids. “Singing before talking, making rhythm before walking” kinda stuff. You know.

When I was nine I learned the “4 chords” on the family’s second hand Höfner copper stringed jazz guitar and the necessary moves I learned from watching their black and white television set.

And I took it the whole way. From garage to the inner capital city club circle topping in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.

My music is Lager Rock.

Lager Rock can be viewed as a kinda Rock n Roll toolbox which style’s was strangely sandwiched in between the Rock n Roll mainstreams of its day.
Lager Rock weld three Rock n Roll mainstreams together: Punk Rock, New Wave and classic electric Guitar Blues Rock.
It emerged in London in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s and spread like a bushfire all over Europe.
Pure condensed energy my friends.

I have and I will all ways play Lager Rock!
Through out my life, besides playing Lager Rock, I’ve been doing a ton of odd jobs from business consulting to flying airplanes. But I have never ever being anything close to selling my guitar and leaving Lager Rock and in that way too Rock n Roll.

But when my life moved into its fifty’s my not so healthy lifestyle caught up with me and in the last six years it seems like Grim Reaper now and then raised his tent in my back garden. You know just to stay close in case.

As I was spending my time mostly negotiating with Mr. Reaper a strange thought came to my mind. 
I have never issued any of my music. 
Oh yes I’ve made demo’s en mas but never ever a single, EP or album. 
Then and there I took a swift decision. Now it’s time!!!!

And here I am ladies and gentlemen. In my early sixties recording and issuing - senior - Lager Rock and of course also with a classic DIY invented title: DIY Senior Lager Rock Streamer.

So what’s the big chromed shining truth here?
1. I’m still alive and well and…
2. Rock n Roll WILL NEVER DIE.

And that’s all for now folks.

Yours sincerely,
Jan
