This song was written to my love Kim Lowe Arbab that past away in June 2017. We used to call each other really silly names, almost like it was a competition. It all started when I called her my "Strawberry jewelry"..

Miss you

Strawberry Jewelry

Two songs of Dear John's set at the Living Room Concert in downtown Naarden. Celebrating Tess' 26th birthday (by eating loads of chocolate and cake).

LYRICS:

I don't like public transport and I don't fancy cars
No it's another battlefield where I fight my wars
Some might say that it's so shitty
The way I cycle through the city
As I drive around like I'm crazy in the head

Roundabout three quarters of an hour don't feel right
But when I turn left I take a quarter, I don't mind
Using sidewalks like they're highways
Got the feeling that it's my space
Traffic lights don't stop me when they're red

Yeah the bicycle lane is my domain
When I ring my bell my fellow cyclists know too well
They've got to move out of the way
Listen to the words I say
The bicycle lane is my domain

Well I paddle through the capital I'm like a master chief
At least it's what i feel like though it might be make-belief
I'm not the guy for breaking the rules
I think that sounds quite foolish
But driving slowly simply drives me mad

Yeah when I'm on my way from A to B I don't win friends
And any of your reprimands, they just won't stand a chance
Cause at that certain moment
I am my own opponent
In the cycling match I'm having in my head

But then there are those people
Overtaking slowly
They just don't understand
My demand
Yeah I got to go on,
So get out of my way
I rang my bell once, 
I'll ring it twice, now...

Yeah the bicycle lane is my domain
When I ring my bell my fellow cyclists know too well
They've got to move out of the way
Listen to the words I say
The bicycle lane is my domain

Recorded at the 23rd of February with a Zoom Q3 handheld recorder.

Dear John - The Bicycle Lane Is My Domain

Wavelengths of different frequencies bring us information about sound, temperature or the image of the world. Through our senses we form a coherent whole.
That`s why we love the sound of bells.
The sound spectrum of a single tone consists of the basic frequency and several higher frequencies that are a full multiple of the basic frequency. Together they form harmonious parts of the spectrum.
The non-harmonious spectrum consists of partly harmonious parts which are not full multiples of the basic frequency. The non-harmonious parts are added to the harmonious sections of the tone and produce richer instrumental sounds. Another determining factor of timbre is the transitional state which enables us to identify the source.

Light acts similarly. All the colours of the world  fit within the narrow margin of the visible spectrum. The frequency values enable us to reliably identify their influence on our well being and performance. Light affects our state of mind as much as music. 

The circle draws to a close.
