Happy new year! Have a punk rock record!

I recorded the bulk of this in my old studio in Enschede without a real sense of why I was doing it. Now that I am pretty sure my new record is going to take a while, I thought to myself: why shouldn’t a singer-songwriter be able to release a punk rock record. No reason, so there. I did.
Please share this with anyone you can think of that likes punk rock. I might be giving away this for free, but these are still songs I hold very dear to my heart.
The cover art was made by Erik Luchtenberg by the way. Thanks dude! Any cover without me on it that is this awesome has to be done by somebody talented.
Hope you have an amazing year! Bazinga!

Call Me Maybe

Dad, I’m not upset
 I just wish that I could stay here
And I get that won’t happen
It’s not about fun, life’s about tears
And these tears won’t dry, let’s wave goodbye to our lives.

Dad, what did you do that this happened to you? It doesn’t feel right.
That this burden you bear, the whole family shares… It seems so unfair
And I wish these tears would dry, let’s not wave goodbye to our lives.

And I want to numb everything, why’s money so important?
I know you agree with me.
But that doesn’t change a thing, hope sure is running thin
I know you agree with me, just like anyone would

Mom, take care of dad
I think he’s losing it and I’m running late
Yeah you know that Clara’s waiting
And she doesn’t know this family’s plans.
Well I hope she doesn’t cry when I wave goodbye…

To our lives.


I'm Not Upset

Old Man

You can’t stay mad forever Jake
Try looking at it from my perspective
Life’s not just about fixing cars and you know that
It’s ok to act out a little bit
But don’t make things too complicated
The money just ain’t where we at and I hate that…

I have to separate you from Clara and the band
But you’ll find another girl, you’re an attractive young man
And you’ll find a band in Stirmouth, just as you did over here
This moving thing, I promise son, it’s scarier for me

That whole punkrock thing, I get it,
your pop’s a Ramones fan since ‘87
but boy you need to learn about blue collar
cuz they were rooting for your old man
and I wish you’d do the same thing
I get why you’re upset and it’s a shame that…

I have to separate you from Clara and the band
But you’ll find another girl, cuz you look just like your dad
And you’ll find a band in Stirmouth, just as you did over here
This moving thing, I promise son, it’s scarier for me


Old Man

Wave Goodbye

His pop’s gonna drop the bomb the minute he gets back
Jake’ll never know what hit him, like a knife in the back
All of his complaining’s finally paying off
But what he had in mind… this is probably not.

Mom’s already in the loop but she’s not the enemy
This land of opportunity, this land of the free
Keeps him chained to a family he doesn’t want to be with
Leave the band for another man’s career is just bullshit.

Wave goodbye to your career in music
Wave goodbye to the love of your life
Just tell Bert and all the others you’ll miss them.
This “moving away” situation just ain’t right.

They’re leaving in a week of two, he doesn’t have enough time.
Time that he needs for closure, there’s just not enough time.
His sister’s way too young; she won’t notice athing.
If he could only say the same thing.
