Description: Cover of Gordon Lightfoot’s “If You Could Read My Mind”

They are thoughts… and hopes… They are Men and deeds

Some of the people in the peace/love hippie movement were very disappointed at their experience which never seems to have gotten off the ground and to their surprise left them farther apart, not closer together as they may have expected.

Old Volkswagen Bus

That late afternoon rhythm when the air’s thick and the world slows down.
A southern-soul groove built on live drums, warm bass, and feel-good swagger.
This song is about the kind of love that moves steady and true.
It’s the sound of the sun dropping low and the night just getting started.

Keep The Fire Burnin'

“Lying” is a song about realizing someone’s already moved on while you’re still trying to make sense of it. It’s that quiet heartbreak when love starts to fade and honesty feels out of reach. I didn’t plan to release this one; it wasn’t supposed to make the EP, but it felt too real to leave behind.

lying (Bonus Track)

Een stad die nooit uitgaat — zelfs als jij stilstaat.
De stad blijft aan vangt dat late-avondmoment waarin alles tegelijk beweegt en stilvalt.
Het ritme van regen op ramen, echo’s in verlaten straten, en gedachten die blijven ronddwalen.
Een nummer over loslaten, verdwalen en uiteindelijk meegaan met het licht dat achterblijft.
Synths die gloeien als straatlantaarns, baslijnen die ademen, en een gitaar die klinkt als een echo van een gesprek dat nooit af is.

(De AfterParty — opgenomen in Amsterdam, tussen licht en stilte)

De stad blijft aan
