Put Your Fake In It

Living Is Instant

Originally had this phrase: Put your faith in it, but words like "fake" and "fade" came into focus as a modern metaphor for the state of the word we're currently living in. Still, I always try to aim for an upbeat funky song with a drive. From the latest album "Put Your Fake In It" [2023] Spotify: https://shorturl.at/chzGH

Lyrics/music JoosTVD
Straight out straight up

Do you feel like you don't belong here 

Straight out straight up

You don't want to be all wrong right now

Straight out straight up

Do you feel like you can't talk freely

Straight out straight up 

You don't want to tell the truth right now

Don't/ Go wake up to the world awake 

Go waste time, you've got plenty go waste time

Don't waste time  you ain't got plenty

Straight Up

What do ya think? Nothing new maybe. To me, this is just a simple, carefree and upbeat, funky tune from a restless guy that loves to dance but shyness holds him back.... Marvin Gaye wrote an irresistable dance song about that (Got To Give It Up) to keep up with the disco rage in 1977.

Well, I'm getting a little stiff maybe in the hips, but don't dare me! I'm not trying to grow up, that's all. Not now! Is it my grey hair that's increasing? Love life all over again. I won't grow up. NOT NOW!

Dancing can surely help to reduce the age problem. Stay a kid. Love the rhythm of life. So many ways to do it!

O, but I loved creating this little dittie.I wrote this very quick with a sort of naive confidence. All it took was a ball of spontanious energy. that you can't buy anywhere.

Lyrics:

One day I'll be a big boy

But not now, not now!

I want to have fun 

With my new toy


Just let me move

Move me to the rhythm of your life 


One day I'll get my act together

But not now, not now! 

I never fellt better 

Just let me move

Move me to the rhythm of your life

Just Say KNOW

Not Now

Open Up My Parachute

"The Heavy Donut Discount Blues" is the first song you'll hear from the new album "Doesn't Ring A Bell" release 02-05-2020. 
Spoiler alert! This is a distraction video. To seduct you. Something to make you feel good. To have fun with. Like candy. Yes, a donut is cheap, but dangerous! Admittedly a discount is included, but with a very, very HEAVY bluesy aftertaste....a Faustian price to pay!

Doesn't Ring A Bell

The Heavy Donut  Discount Blues

You cannot pronounce his name easily: Juiced? Well it's an anti- artist name lads and gents! He's a musician first. Inspired by the likes of Gino Vannelli, Todd Rundgren, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, Boz Scaggs, John Martyn, Tubes, Terry Callier and 10cc. He started out as a drummer (1979, before turning his hand to writing. Recording since 1980, releasing digitally since 2005.
He describes himself as a "zelfbevlekkende, narcistische, selfkickende, obsessieve, uitknijpende liedjesmaker" which loosely translates (I think) as a "self-denigrating, narcissistic, self-flagellating squeezer-out of songs" as freely translated by Tom Robinson. "Bomb Won´t Go Off featured both on his BBC6 Radio show and BBC6 Mixtape in november 2012 as did "Stupid Song(s)in 2013. "Chalky" did that trick again in 2016 and "City Of The Mirrorballs did that in 2022. Released 21 digital albums so far, june 2025 newest "Collapse".
