Wow!! Lots of emotion. 🙌👍😁 Amazing!!

look, take it from me, you are perfect already. perfect song, music, and oh my God that voice. get your songs together and send an album to Kevin Christian at Sony London, he's a manager. or to Paul Jordan at Asgard music in London. you'd get signed immediately. your voice is very on trend. songs are beautiful.

if you come to London or Cambridge I'm sure i could get you a decent gig. in a kinda famous place. you're very marketable.

This song  is so good but so sad . It reminds  me of my son. So It hit a little harder on an emtional level.

Oh my God, I'm an emotional wreck
Fire needs air desire space
I've had enough now, can I take my place

The final nail in the coffin, was when you closed the door
A storm engulfed, you're not enough
And do my heart falls to the floor

Terror Reigns in the brain 
Anger burns like fury
How long do I live with this pain
No excuse here for a Dury. 

It feels like lightening very frightening
It feels like lightening very frightening

I'm just a simple person
solo in this town
But now this blank future
Is somehow weighing me down

Where goes my alpha male
oh where goes my alpha male

it feels like lightening very frightening 
it feels like lightening very frightening. 

The final nail in the coffin
Was when you closed the door
You're not here anymore 
And so my heart falls to the floor

You're not here anymore and so my heart lives on the floor. 

Loss.

A happy, bouncy song!

Life Can be a Sunny Tune

Woke up this morning with the sun upon my face,
Jumped out of bed and made a coffee which sank without a trace
The world outside was calling me to walk down to the sea
I happily obliged, because it’s so great to be so free.

As I strolled along the beach I could hear the crashing waves
While nature'd painted colours that just took my breath away. 
On into the town, where I met up with my friends. 
Happiness and laughter was spinning all around.

Oh, life is good, like a melody we find,
Dancing on the iphone, leaving worries way behind.
In the laughter and the love we can make up our own songs
When the rhythm's good it seems to right so many wrongs!

So here’s to the moments, the happy and the sad
Every laugh and every tear, none of them are bad.
When the world gets tricky, just take a look around,
There is good in everything if it can be found

Oh, life is good, like a melody we find,
Dancing on the iphone, leaving worries way behind.
In the laughter and the love we can make up our own songs
When the rhythm's good it seems to right so many wrongs!

Life is good, life is good! 
Oh, life is oh so good!

So let the music play and let the laughter flow,
In this great adventure of life, there's so much love to show.
With every single step we take, every place where we alight,
Life can be a sunny tune, that dances with delight.

Life Can be a Sunny Tune

I think everyone has been in this place at some time in their lives. God loves you. We are all in this life together. ; ) 

Lyrics-
I've been wandering
Searching for a place that feels like home
Lost on paths where I've gone astray
Now, I'm pleading...
Dear God, I'm drowning...
please stretch out your hand 
and rescue me

Lead me back to the path 
You always had in mind for me 


[Verse 2]
I heard the choir sing your name out loud
In a church where once I stood 
Praying now, please remember me
I want the good in You 
to be the good in me 


[Verse 3]
You are Love,
You are forgiveness
You are unfailing grace
I want to be among your people 
in this healing place

[Bridge]
Hearts I've  broken,  words I've thrown
You said I could leave it all 
at the foot of your throne

[Chorus]
I'm coming back to You 
Forgive me for the paths I've wrongly trod
I'm coming back to you, back to You
Because You are my God
You are my God

[Verse 4]
There is nothing in this world 
that can give comfort like you do
In your love I find my identity
of who I am in you 
Feed my spirit with your words of truth 
I hear you calling
Now...
I'm calling after You 
I'm calling after You

[Bridge]
Hearts I've  broken, words I've thrown
You said I could leave it all 
at the foot of your throne

[Chorus]
I'm coming back to You 
Forgive me for the paths I've wrongly trod
I'm coming back to You, back to you
Because you are my God
You are my God 


I'm coming back to you 
I'm coming back to you 
back to you

Back To You

NOBCO Inspiratiedag 2025 - 19 Maart vanuit de Eenhoorn in Amersfoort. Een halfuur interview met ACT expert en coach opleider Sergio van der Pluijm. Presentatie: Arvid Buit

NOBCO Inspiratiedag 2025 - Sergio van der Pluijm

So I'm strangely addicted to murder shows. True Crime I mean. For YEARS. 
I think I've seen them all.  Podcasts too. I ran out. And had to watch something wholesome. What a eye opener. Got me to thinking that I trust no one because of what I watch. Time to switch. To like Disney or Bluey or something.

Switch

When you love a beautiful human being, fighting with addiction. 

I've been calling you for days
now I'm knocking on your door
The bruises on your face, tell me more
than your words could ever say
 
I break down and cry 
tears I've wept a thousand times 
I see the demons you fight inside 
You've declared war with the bottle

I love you 
My friend....listen to me 
I hate to say it, 
you're not winning....

You line up empty bottles
like glass soldiers in a war...
You say you're going to quit
Another bottle goes down 
there's another to replace it

Time keeps slipping through your hands
In that empty bottle land

[Chorus]
Another empty bottle
You pour out your pain 
with the next you'll do the same
knee deep, in another bender 
You raised the white flag of surrender
Another empty bottle 
Another empty bottle

I always was your first responder, 
pulling you out from the burning ship of pain 
Cigarette smoke curls like an SOS
but everything stays the same

Pull you out, both hands burned
When will I ever learn?
I always wanted the best for you 
I tried so hard to stop this cycle
But, you didn't want to

I found you, passed out on the floor 
you can't remember the night before 
ohhhhh the stories 
you keep spinning
Another tale, another fall

I want to smash every bottle against the wall 
Those God-damned empty bottles
 take it all... They take it all...

You're a shipwreck on the shore
One foot in the grave
You've got nothing left
but the consequences of the 
choices you've made

I stand stone-faced on the parapet
looking at the wreckage
Telling you everything will be alright
I can put out this fire...

Now....we're both liars...

For clarity, there is no blogger or podcaster called " Grand Dam" on Instagram... yes, I was asked this question. Too funny  ; ) 

Lyrics below
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*********************************************************************

You won't look me in the eye
I understand why
Are you feeling uneasy?
Seriously....
You probably should be ....

Oh come on ... relax
pop a zannie for your anxiety attack
Calm down, I won't tell a soul
It's doesn't matter how I know

Your "Relationship" tips and tricks
is how you get your kicks
Giving expert advice on healthy relationships
Oh, how You raised the bar 
If your followers only knew who and what you really are

You keep riding that fake and phony pony
It keeps making you lots money, money

The C word... about now your feeling ill...
(cancel, cancel, cancel)
Take a breath ...count to 10 , Oh, never mind, I don't have time  
I want to lay out my intentions

[Chorus]
I won't tell a soul 
( you don't have one)
I won't tell your husband 
 ( is this your second or third one?)
I won't tell your boyfriend
 ( Does He know about your Husband) 
I won't tell your girlfriend 
( does she know about your boyfriend?)
I won't tell your enemies
(Your hands are full already )
I won't tell your followers
The " Grand Dam" on Instagram is a damn sham

did I say that out loud?
shhhhhhhhhhhh
It's enough for me to know, 
that you know 
that I know

Secrets have a way 
Of tracking you down in that crazy Internet town 
I won't be a player in your drama
I have no connection to your karma
Word on the street, from people who know
say this is considered 
a quantified shit show 
I dunno, I will say I didn't know
I'll steer clear
I'll say I had no idea

Full disclosure
yeah, your secrets I'll keep
But...I've been known to talk text in my sleep
That slaps
Do you trust me ?
Are you sure about that ?

Chorus
I won't tell a soul 
( you don't have one)
I won't tell your husband 
 ( is this your second or third one?)
I won't tell your boyfriend
 ( Does He know about your Husband) 
I won't tell your girlfriend 
( does she know about your boyfriend?)
I won't tell your enemies
(You got your hands full already )
I won't tell your followers
 The "Grand Dam" on Instagram is a damn sham

It's enough for me to know, 
that you know 
that I know 
That you know
that I know

I. Know.
Now, you know I know. 
I probably won't tell a soul

I Won't Tell A Soul

When you scream at Ghosts....

I met a masked robber at an open bar at Mardi Gras
He smiled and said ” I’m gonna steal your heart”
I said, if you’re trying to get my attention 
That’s a pretty good place to start 
I'd never thought he'd break my heart


I fell hard and fast
I thought, this kind of love could last
But....damn 
How could I have been so wrong?
Different dancer,  same song 
by the time the fall leaves fell
he was gone


It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late to expect you’d be a stand-up guy 
I’m tired of asking why...
There is nothing you can say or do
You're a masked robber on the loose
but I need a mercy from you


If you ever loved me 
Why'd you ghost me?
I need your ghost to come back


I need the ghost of you to come back
Take back all the love we made
Take back all of the reasons you couldn’t stay 
Take back all of the memories we ever made 
Take back everything that reminds me of you
 keep looking over your shoulder, 
I need closure,
This Louisiana girl needs to bury you


I sleep on your side of the bed
Where your head used to rest
I know that doesn't make sense 
I still don't know why you left
This is the state of affairs 
you left me in 
Was I not worth an explanation?
 I still feel your breath on my skin


I still go to Welty's  on Saint Charles Avenue
Our usual waitress, Miss Olivia 
she doesn't ask about you 
a knowing look, she says, 
Sugar, are you doin' okay?
I can barley nod, yes
Because inside I'm dying 
She knows I 'm lying

I could tell her you moved to California
But the truth is to this day
I don't know where you are either way


It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late to expect you’d be a stand-up guy 
I’m tired of asking why
There is nothing you can say or do
You're a masked robber on the loose
But I need a mercy from you


If you ever loved me 
Why'd you ghost me ?
I need your ghost to come back


I need the ghost of you to come back
Take back all the love we made
Take back all of the reasons you couldn’t stay
take back all of the memories we ever made 
Take back everything that reminds me of you
 keep looking over your shoulder,  I need closure,
This Louisianna girl needs to bury you


I'm gonna bury you 
I'm gonna bury you

The Ghost of You

my take on the unreleased charli xcx track. stripped back + rebuilt with my own chord textures + atmosphere. tried to keep the raw minimal energy of the demo while giving it a new shine. for the charli heads

Obsessions (HXXDN Rework)

At heart, I  am an emotionally honest, lyrically driven storyteller. I  love the written word. I love wrapping music around words in a musical story that is flavored with Indie, folk, country, classic rock,  jazz, blues, ballads anthems. 

 I hope you enjoy The Stories She Tells.  ; )
