Sting has always been a musical inspiration to me. I don’t usually record covers and this is the exception I guess. For the occasion I made a Dutch translation/arrangement of ‘Shape of my heart’. I hope you appreciate my interpretation :)

Thank you for listening!

Klank van mijn hart (Sting cover) Shape Of My Heart

You got me good, you got me going strong
I got nothing to say about my own body and soul
You got me rolled up in the corner now
I got nowhere else to go, I got nowhere else to go
I lost control

And I got a little thing that I wanna say
'Cause tonight I got the feeling, that maybe it’s alright
For you and I to spend our days in each others arms
'Cause I feel like we got something good going on

You got me good, I wonder where my head has gone
There is no such thing as silent’s in my head
These days are colored, I go up and down
I got nowhere else to go, I got nowhere else to go
I lost control

And I got a little thing that I wanna say
'CauseCos tonight I got the feeling, that maybe it’s alright
For you and I to spend our days in each others arms
'Cause I feel like we got something good going on

And I got a little thing that I wanna say
'Cause tonight I got the feeling, that maybe it’s alright
For you and I to spend our days in each others arms
'Cause I feel like we got something good going on
You know we got something good going on, going on.

Hi, I'm Rob.

I'm a singer, well you figured that out by yourself if you listened to my music....
I'm also Welsh, so what can I do?

I love music, so listening to all the great talent here on SoundCloud - whether it's raw or refined - is an immense pleasure. Thank you all for that.

I hope you get some joy out of listening to me.

Due to some health issues I'm not always capable to listen to your music, interact as much as I'd like to or reply to your comments in a timely manner. It doesn't alter the appreciation I feel for each and every one of you. Please bear with me.
