A selection of instrumental cues with a cinematic ring to them, that I wrote the last two years.
My personal escape into melody & sound. Some tracks are mainly synth oriented, while others have a strong orchestral character. And some are actual underscores that I made for composers contests.

This song describes a variant of the ape-rock management theory my father once told me, in which the highest ape thinks the lower apes are smiling at him, even if he pisses on them. And that he will do what ever it takes to stay on top!

Up In My Tree '22 Remix

A woman with a hopeless crush for Santa is excited for Christmas again... 

Lyrics:

I'm counting the hours 
'till it is Christmas time 
I'm counting the hours 
Santa is on my mind 

I really don’ know him –  
I met him only once, just by chance 
Caught him - leaving through the chimney 
And I had a little glance                                
And something in the way  
He moved his butt up the chimney, 
Oh - It moved me unexpectedly,  
It took me quite effectively  
His ho-ho-ho so low  
And his reindeers and the snow… 

(Chorus) 
I’m in love, I’m in love. I’m in love  
In love with Santa 
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love 
In love with Santa  
His boots, his belt, his hairy chin –  
What can I say? It’s  just my thing 
And even if he can’t be mine  
I’ll be loving Santa ev’ry Christmas time. 

I'm counting the hours 
'till it is Christmas time 
I'm counting the hours 
Santa is on my mind 

So I prepared for Christmas time 
I worked out detailed plans 
I’ll decorate the house just right -  
Send my husband to some friends 
When Santa  
Enters with the presents I’ll  
Surprise him with my presence  
Wearing nothing but my undies,  
Which will sort of be the essence  
And we’ll ho-ho-ho so low, leave the reindeers in the cold 

(Chorus) 

(Outro) 
I'm counting the hours 
'till it is Christmas time 
I'm counting the hours 
Santa is on my mind 

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love  
In Love with Santa 

His boots, his belt, 
His hairy chin 
What can I say -  
It's just my thing 

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love  

(Epilogue) 
I'm counting the hours 
'till it is Christmas time...

In Love with Santa!

Lars produces music and songs. That’s what’s relevant here. But other than that, Lars is a jurist and educates kids on how the law works (www.juniorjurist.nl).
