FILM STILL: PARIS TEXAS - WIM WENDERS (1984)

lyrics:

riddle me this are you a mystery to yourself?
i've been tryin to figure it out 
through mazes, hurricanes and lullabies
bolts and screws and thunderstorms
but they don't faze you
they just amaze you

oh how predictable
you didn't even run away after all
hiding behind a rocket that was bound to fall
upon my lonely star orbiting fuck all
but a daft rainbow

so before you leave
for another reality
riddle me this, riddle me that
is the best you ever had the
belief that you could be someone else?


what has a mouth but can not speak?
you apparently
who is a ghost but is plain to see?
your shadow makes it easy to believe
its you, you, you
wondering how it ever came to this
with your sixes and sevens like a monolith
and still yet there i am upon my lonely star
orbiting fuck all
but a daft rainbow

before you leave
for another reality
riddle me this, riddle me that
is the best you ever had the
belief that you could be someone else?

you're a riddle so am i
you're a riddle so am i
you're a riddle so am i

Riddle (demo)

A little song inspired by the spunky and psychedelic rock of the late 60's 

lyrics:

I went outside and what did I see
a purple elephant, an olive tree
that don't matter though cuz all that i see
is her standing there with her arms in the sea

I went back inside and locked all the doors
my momma was crying on the telephone
my dog he died and i'm face down on the floor
but that don't mean a thing to me cuz i love her

Only you in my room
only you, my prune

Your silhouette in my eyes is like Doris Day
lately you've been lookin' like Sister Ray
i still can't seem to hit it sideways
but i couldn't care less anyway

Lips on fire in the morning of the
magician aliens dancing on your
head in the evening on the edge of my door
I don't even care if your daddy knows
Oh i love her

I don't mind if the roof comes down oh i love her
and I don't care if the taxman comes cuz i love her

I see only you
in my sunshine room

Cause I Love Her (demo)

FILM STILL: BADLANDS - TERRENCE MALICK (1973)

lyrics:

you said the words that would make an entire senate laugh
i must admit it would be quite the epitaph
you can come along with me i'm not asking you to stay
but if you want to watch the stars shine bright that is okay
i am here

i am not leaving soon, my friend
staying a while
on my own
but if you care
but if you care we can move along

i know a man just outside of Delaware
he says the stories told they are just bread for scares
so dont you sound a cry of fear or don't you make the rain 
fall so hard that you and me won't fit together on the plane
to no one knows where
but we are here

i am not leaving soon, my dear
staying a while
on my own
but if you care
but if you care we can move along

you can come along with me i'm not asking you to stay
but if you want to watch the stars shine bright thats okay

FILM STILL: SUMMER INTERLUDE - INGMAR BERGMAN (1951)

lyrics:

on a rosewood fairyland
going back to maryland
with not even half a grand
talking to marianne
who was never really there
like the warmth of your stare
that lingers in my mind
a vision of

in the park where you lay
it wasn't meant to be this way
but there you are and here i am
lost and found at the cemetry gates

oh how i'd wish to go back one day

we'd run and read the stones
rolling, flashing painted black
wave my grandmother hello
say goodbye when we got too cold
lying between your thighs
with henry lee and a sigh
trying to stare in your wide green lovely eyes
that longing lingers in my mind along with a vision of

in the park where you lay
it wasn't meant to be this way
but there you are and here i am
lost and found at the cemetry gates

In The Park (demo)

Five minute demo in preparation of my debut perfomance at Banaal Expositie

An Evening Of Contemporary Sounds (5min DEMO)

you said the words that would make an entire senate laugh
i must admit it would be quite the epitaph
you can come along with me i'm not asking you to stay
but if you want to watch the stars shine bright that is okay
i am here

i am not leaving soon, my friend
staying a while
on my own
but if you care
but if you care we can move along

i know a man just outside of Delaware
he says the stories told they are just bread for scares
so dont you sound a cry of fear or don't you make the rain
fall so hard that you and me won't fit together on the plane
to no one knows where
but we are here

i am not leaving soon, my dear
staying a while
on my own
but if you care
but if you care we can move along

you can come along with me i'm not asking you to stay
but if you want to watch the stars shine bright that is okay

i am here

Delawhere - take two (demo)

FILM STILL: ELEPHANT - GUS VAN SANT (2003)

I'd like to leave you behind
it's getting heavy
having you around for more than half an hour
in my mind or i would start crying on the floor of my mothers house
when she's not around
and when she is, neither am I
if only you knew

I'm gonna leave you in a separate life
it's getting heady
flying all around clouds of lies 
and castles of other people lying next under and
above you and i, then i just feel so lonely in the middle of the
night, and when I am neither are you


the sun is still down and my cheeks haven't dried
and its already more than i can bare tonight
so i'm gonna leave you behind

i'm gonna leave you behind
its getting heavy having you around

Leave You Behind (demo)

One of my favourite and most underrated Beatles songs. Written by George Harrison for the White Album (1968)


It's been a long long long time
How could I ever have lost you
When I loved you

It took a long long long time
Now I'm so happy I found you
How I love you

So many tears I was searching
So many tears I was wasting, oh oh

Now I can see you, be you
How can I ever misplace you
How I want you
Oh I love you
You know that I need you
Ooh I love you

Oh

The Beatles - Long Long Long (cover)

FILM STILL: FALLEN ANGELS - WONG KAR WAI (1995)


song for my mother's mother


lyrics:

Love from above
shine on me 
but not only for me
think of ma and shine on pa
i think i hear you call

love from above
shine on through
the love you mean to bloom
you were a ghost, i was young
too young to know, that you’d rise


ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
and all the smiles and apple pie couldn’t save you at the time
but you knew we love you


so  shine on her and think of him
they are my kin
my sister talked about you last night
so i wrote this song


ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
and all your grace and sleepless nights you said it all will be alright
then i knew, i love you

demos

Shine On (demo)

FILM STILL: THE LEATHER BOYS - SYDNEY J. FURIE (1964)


i look at you, don’t see you smile, a face with no eyes

the jades are gone and all i see are sleepers marks and the shape of your thigh

the moon was pink when i awoke, it was a bloody red when you arose

i roll over only to find strands of hair, fluid stains and the air of someone long gone



she left in the afternoon
leavin me behind
she left in the afternoon
walkin away so fine


i said believe me baby, i did all i can to make you stay

i please you right down, i would buy you my heart if you would let me baby

but believe me baby, a man is so tired when he comes back from work and that’s the price he 
pays

but all the pretty horses couldn’t make her stay, so i guess i’m leaving too
to a town with girls who look just like you and another blue monsoon


she left in the afternoon
leavin me behind
she left in the afternoon
walkin away so fine


im gonna miss our conversations, baby i can’t lie
but uuuh, im talkin to a girl with jade green eyes just like you and a big fat red mark on her face, prolly from sleepin too hard so i guess it ain’t so bad after all
too bad she doesn’t talk anything like you


she left in the afternoon
leavin me behind
she left in the afternoon
walkin away so fine

She Left In The Afternoon (demo)

While obsessively focusing on ambience and finding the right tone to sink into, the young Antwerp singer-songwriter Boy Minos fights the duality that lurks in every man. What does it mean to be a man and what do all these sentiments mean? Boy Minos tries to answer unanswerable questions. Music that makes you weep away everyday worries until the tyranny of the conscious-self disappears into the stratosphere of sweet melancholy and dreamy melodies.
