"There are a couple of things that make me speechless at times..."

February 2013 I launched my album 'Speechless' on Bandcamp. This is a set of socially conscious / protest songs in diverse genres I published earlier on SoundCloud. In fact the songs are part of a much larger manifest. Nowadays many many people are having second thoughts about the intentions of the leaders in the world, the financial institutions and the multinationals.

In this playlist you will find the full album but one track. If you like you can listen the complete album (linked)New is the 2016 mixed version of 'No more guns' with a new title 'What do you know about love"

It was around 2015 that I noticed many artists expressed their protest, feelings or information in music. So I launched the 'Stand Up Radio Group'. Groups are no langer part of the SC platform, so I created a two playlists of the complete group collection. If you like to broaden your musical and lyrical horizon you still can have a listen at https://soundcloud.com/sketches-from-holland/sets/stand-up-radio-original and https://soundcloud.com/sketches-from-holland/sets/stand-up-radio-part-2-2015

‘What do you know about love’ is a newly mixed version of a 2013 track that was released earlier on my album ‘Speechless’ https://mikespring.bandcamp.com/album/speechless-2013-album The earlier title used to be ‘No more guns’ and was written as a musical protest against using guns in general. Now this is a complicated matter since guns are used for many purposes among which to defend oneself. Today we hear of many cases in which innocent civilians are brutally murdered from a ideological perspective, by confused people or even by the police. This sign of the times to me is kind of heartbreaking and I think our sweet souls could use a little comfort and awareness. In my opinion a legitimate question is ‘What do you know about love’. ‘You’ includes myself and all of us. With this piece of music I gently invite to look into our hearts and to stand up against this kind of violence. Say, to speak out about how we want our society to be, about what is dear to us, to speak of love. respect, happiness and a well-being for all.

The music reflects a heartbeat and a gunshot in a loungy way. To put up a contrast and for personal contemplation.

Peace
Mike
