My secrets
(c) HWBerkhout 2025

I can't help it.  I can't tell them
Will you ever understand?
I must hide them, no one likes them
I call them 'my secrets'.

The secrets in my life, who likes to hear them?
So they stay mine forever
You don't get it if I share them
They will blow your mind

Chorus
No, I don't want them, I don't need them
But they are mine, much too long
No, I can't take it, I don't need them
It's because I'm not that strong

I once shared them with a girlfriend
Within a week that ended
I have mentioned them in a letter
Which still hasn't been sent

Chorus
No, I don't want them, I don't need them
But they are mine, much too long
No, I don't take it, I don't need them
It's because I'm not that strong

Solo

Chorus 2x
Oh, I don't want them, I don't need them
But they are mine, much too long
No, I can't take it, I don't need them
It's because I'm not that strong

No, I don't want them, I don't need them
But they are mine, much too long
No, I can't take it, I don't need them
I know, I'm not so strong...

My Secrets

Lyrics by Sas song by Sas 

[Intro]

[Verse]
Tonight's the night,
I'm feeling so alive( so alive )
Got one shot,
got no time to hide
I’ll dance through the streets,
let my heart be my guide
No regrets, just love in my eyes ( look into my eyes )

[Chorus]
Give me one night ( just one )
to love and to feel
No holding back ( don’t )
this freedom is real
Tonight’s the night,
I’m breaking free
Living my dream, just you and me ( you and me )

[Verse]
Under the moon ( under the stars )
we're shining bright
Lost in the rhythm,
everything’s right
No past, no future,
just this moment in time
Funky and soulful,
I’m feeling so fine ( so fine with you )

[Chorus]
Give me one night, ( just one )
to love and to feel ( feel me )
No holding back,
this freedom is real ( it is )
Tonight’s the night,
I’m breaking free
Living my dream,
with just you and me.

[Bridge]
Lets Dance till dawn,
let the music take control
Tonight’s our story,
let’s make it our soul
No pain, just pleasure,
in this fleeting flight
Forever in this magic ( oh it’s magic )
this one perfect night
So give me just one night,
With you
let’s make it ours
Love without limits
under the stars
One night to live,
to love
and to be,
In this moment, wild and free
Give in to me ( let go )

Give Me One Night ( Sas Soul Funk Mix )

Will Ye Go Lassie Go- The Corries (Cover)

I did this about a year ago -- posting again because I reworked it a bit, and I just really like the tune. The 2nd & 3rd verses were inspired by a fellow SoundCloud member's life events. Due for release on Spotify Nov 16!!

Is it There

one two three four five six seven
all good children go to heaven

is it there
is it right there by your side

while you were sleeping
a summer rain fell through the night
(hear the sound of the falling rain there in the night)
and the taste of bitter dreams became sweeter
with the gentle sound in your mind
(knowing that soon the sun will rise leaving the night behind)

is it there to remind
that everything will be alright

I put down the page knowing there was no turning back
I watched her breathing in the sacred arc of life
I wandered alone in a hallway lit by an exit light

so much time when you were young
didn't feel the pendulum
now the saturnine faces of the ones we love
you wonder why

if I could have anything that I could keep safe and never undone
I would hold you in this fragile moment in the september sun
it means everything to have you near me





Is it There

I hope old Edvard wouldn't be offended by this experience in his style...

«Sol over fjorden» (imitating Grieg) 2025

lyrics

I dont where to go from here
Seems like everyone else is near
Ive got this strange strange veneer
Ive been faking it come clear

Don't wanna spend my life
On a roller coaster
Gonna crash to the ground one day
None of us are here to stay

Maybe next time
Next time
Maybe next time
I'll get this right

Next Time

Here's a very special song & video!! It was a collobaoration with Olga V. Glushakova from VerAeternum. I wrote the lyrics and she wrote the music, sang it, perfromed it, arranged it, basically did everything else! Check out her channel on YouTube, it's amazing! She is a magnificent songwriter and performer! A natural star! Link below!

  I sent Olga like 5 lyrics and she picked this one to compose the music for and did a great job! I love what she did to bring my lyrics to life! I had offered these lyrics to other musicans before but what she did with them was nothing short of fantastic! It was a wonderful experience, she's the best! As far as the lyrics go, they are quite simple and reflect all things about love and how when you're in love it's everywhere you look. On the billboards, in the movies, in a book, it's in the air!! Olga made it itno a modern sounding song! I think it's great and her and her team did a superb job with it.

I added a little musical build up at the begining of the video and then mixed her video into it. I hope everyone enjoys it and goes over to her channel and subscribe and support Olga, she is an amazing artist! Thanks for watching and take care everyone!

“I DON’T CARE WHY"

IT’S UP THERE ON BILLBOARDS,    
IN EACH BALLADEER’S SONG,   
AT CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY,      
OR JUST DRIVING ALONG, 
WHENEVER I’M CLOSE TO YOU,    
I FEEL IT STIRRING INSIDE,  
UNDER THE MOONLIGHT,     
IN STORMY OR SUNNY SKIES,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, 
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,        
      
WHILE DRINKING MY COFFEE,    
WHILE READING A BOOK,   
IT’S IN EVERY MOVIE,   
WHEREVER I LOOK,    
THAT FEELING COMES OVER ME,    
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES,    
CAN’T SEEM TO SHAKE IT,     
NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,     
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,

WHILE I'M TAKING A SHOWER,  
HAVING MY LUNCH AT NOON,    
AT THE TOP OF EACH HOUR,    
IN EVERY PHASE OF THE MOON,   
WHAT A STRANGE ODD SENSATION,   
THERE’S JUST NOWHERE TO HIDE,    
I GUESS I’M IN LOVE?     
THAT MUST BE THE REASON WHY,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,      
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,    
NO I DON'T CARE WHY,     
DON'T REALLY CARE WHY,    
I JUST DON'T CARE WHY.

"I DON'T CARE WHY" (Video - https://youtu.be/QrpLfWs-3is)

I compose songs, write lyrics and sing most of them. I don't have  'one'  style. It depends on my mood or on certain issues that are going on in our world. AND some listeners can even tell which songs are genuine 'Birchwood-songs' (!)
