er was eens, hier ver vandaan
een jongen op z'n fiets met mij
je zei hee, kleine dromer
de wolken, de wei
een lente, een zomer

hoor je die merel
of ben je al moe
hoor hem eens zingen
en dat is een koe
hallo alle dingen
 
kijk pap hoe groot ik ben
wat ik kan en m'n ijver
ik zag je wel kijken
vooral in de vijver
op wie wou je lijken

en de aarde bleef draaien
schijnen de zon
ik kreeg wilde haren
ons zwijgen begon
zo vlogen de jaren

rust in de bergen
onder avondblauw
wacht nog maar even
dan wordt ook jou
jouw rust gegeven

als een vreemde kom je hier
als een vreemde ga je
de grachten de werven
en wachtende kraaien
en zij die gaan sterven

ga je nu mee met mij
bij mij op m'n fiets
vaarwel mooie wereld
zoek je nog iets
hoor je die merel

ga nu maar mee met mij
pak je das, je hoed
zit je, dan gaan we
want alles is goed
een zoon en een vader

hou me maar stevig vast
doe je ogen maar dicht
dan gaan we samen, pap
tot het licht wordt.

Een zoon en een vader

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I remember that night under starlit skies,
when your haunting smile caught my eyes.
Jasmine perfume filled the air,
danced all night, not a care.
Chorus:
We danced on rainbows, how we spun,
with each laugh, love was won.
But their colors now have flown,
Now I'm left here alone...
Verse2:
I hear the wind call your name,
every rustling leave, a cruel game.
Warmth of thought iced by the dawn,
Can't believe you're now gone.
Chorus:
We danced on rainbows, how we spun,
with each laugh, love was won.
But their colors now have flown,
Now I'm left heart of stone...

TEXTE/LYRICS :

Il va falloir faire (de NouX ! D Héros)

We gonna do it now!

Toi,
Hello
Maint’nant t’es parti
I know
Nous laissant
And so?
Tels des enfants punis 
Sorry
Ton absence nous a laissés sans 
So what?
Voix
Come on
Sans le moindre héros

Il va falloir faire
De nous(x) des héros
We gonna do it now 
Il va falloir faire
De moi ce héros

Elle 
Oh oh
J’l’ai jamais connue
Good go!
Quand toi
Hello?
J’te voyais jour et nuit
Happy!
Aujourd’hui 
Un héros est parti
La vie
Mon héroïne
Oh no!
Même plus ne suffit

Il va falloir faire
De nous(x) tes héros
We gonna do it now 
Il va falloir faire
De moi ce héros
Il va falloir faire
De nous(x) tes héros
We gonna do it now 
Il va falloir faire
De moi ce héros
Pour là-haut…

Gonna do it now 

Moi
And I
Je n’y croyais plus
To me?
Traînant ma vie
Paris
Dans d’obscures rues
Like me
Même si l’alcool 
Me donnait l’envie
Don’t do it!
Mais me détruisait
No, no!
En quête d’absolu

Il va falloir faire
De nous(x) tes héros
We gonna do it now 
Il va falloir faire
De moi ce héros 
Il va falloir faire
De nous(x) tes héros
We gonna do it now 
Il va falloir faire
De moi ce héros
Pour là-haut…

Il va falloir faire
Il va falloir faire
Il va falloir faire
Il va falloir faire
Des héros
Des héros
Pour là-haut…

Now you’re in heaven
I can feel your pain
I look at your scars
We’re all black stars
There’s no word to tell you
The world is going on
Till you’re gone
No “modern love”
Just one
Just love
Never big enough
Cause the world is getting smaller
While the population is getting bigger
We just got love
Never big enough

Now you’re in heaven
You can feel our pain
We’re all black stars
There’s no word to tell you
Till you’re gone
How the world’s going on
We still got love
Just love
Never big enough
LOVE, Love, luV, LuV, LuVLuVLuVLOVE…

Like I'm Still Alive

This is 'Like I'm Still Alive"  It is about someone having to put on a brave face even though they feel empty inside after his true love left them.  

Take Care!! Stay Safe!!


Lyrics;
I'm walking and I'm talking
Say Hello and goodbye
And I smile for the camera
like I'm still alive

But I'v been disconnected
Can't say how I feel
I go through the motions
The wound kept concealed

Laugh at the jokes
Slap my knee and high five
And I play all the games
Like I'm still alive

People around me
With stories to share
They talk through each other
Pretending to care

Absent the grave
No mourners to grieve
But inside I've been dead
Since the day I watched you leave

Gathered around me
My family and friends
The moon on the rise
The day comes to an end

But before they all go
And say their goodbyes
I smile for the camera
Like I'm still alive

Like I'm Still Alive

.

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink”. - John 7:37


Bring the thirsty and let them drink.
Come over here and get a drink. 
This man says, “come to me and drink”.
And suddenly I had to turn and stop and think.
And face all my uncertainty.
And wonder about eternity.
And where to place my hope.

He says it's living water- 
flowing like a river-
through the life of the believer.
In the spirit of the savior. 
Poured into his endeavors-
With the seeker, the warrior, 
The thinker, deceiver. 
The never-receiver.
The almost-believer.

It's a life inside that’s more than you.
Extending through, out past your view.
Running past the walls of you.
Like the streams and rivers like to  do.

P.S. I painted the picture in 1994 and recorded the song in 2020.  So technically this thing took 26 years before it was done ;-)

the great day

... this is beyond genres :-) just an idea :-) the nice streetart photo is by Jon Tyson on unsplash (of course with a bit retouching) The title is less esoteric than it might sound like.  We are certainly connected to the cosmos, one way or the other :-) All is vibration. :-D EnJoy !
