My most bluesrock-oriented composition of this album. This song represents to me the feeling of racing across the state in a brutal musclecar. With the pedal to the metal and the stereo on 10, you still have a bone to pick with your rivals, but being chased by the police does not make it any easier. A fierce battle is fought in which the smells of burning rubber and flying grit meet the stragglers through the rising smoke. Who is the fastest and will win?

The Next Level

Unfinished Business

In 2006, Keith Richards (then 63 years old) was treated in hospital after falling from a palmtree. This song is my musical impression of the feeling I think he must have had when he was still sitting comfortably in the tree, looking at the blue sky, the sea and the beach, with a drink in his hand and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, letting the world be the world..  As we all know Keef is indestructible and after 2 months he was back on stage.

The Palmtreesong

Hello friends!  I just had to share the latest creation from the depths of my musical musings – the introduction of 'Supply and Demand', a blistering instrumental rock anthem that I consider to be the result of my love for AC/DC and Jimi Hendrix.
But  "Supply and Demand" isn't just about the music. It is a protest in the form of sound waves, a sonic rebellion against the social forces that shape our lives. The theme of supply and demand is more than just an economic theory; it is a commentary on the power structures that rule our world.
As the marching groove and wailing guitars resonate, consider the influence of supply and demand on our daily existence. It is a reflection on how markets determine not only what we buy, but also what we value. The song is a call to rethink and question the systems that govern us and demand a world where the true needs of the people take precedence over profit margins.
So turn up 'Supply and Demand', let the music be your guide and join the rebellion against a world dictated by market forces. Let the riffs speak for you, and let's move towards change!

Supply And Demand

This song is for all people who are trying to overcome an addiction and also for those who are planning to do this or have already done it. It sounds so easy to just stop doing something that destroys your life, but it's not and the emptiness that arises afterwards is also difficult to fill. I've had some issues myself but I think I'm okay now.. The song starts with a calm positive theme that represents the good intentions, after which it gets a bit grimmer and turns into doubt, anger and frustration, but also persistence. Which emotion will prevail here and what will it achieve?

12 Steps

In the silent film era which lasted from the 1890's to the 1930's the most exiting part of the plot was a chase scene. Too much talking without any action could be boring for some audiences. To avoid that movie directors would cut to the chase scene. This song represents that for me. Don't beat around the bush too much and get straight to the point. Musically this might be the odd one out on the album but it does contain all the elements I try to stand for. Heavy rocking riffs, an energetic vibe, a memorable theme and a good balance between different atmospheres. The two-part guitarsolo finishes it off.

Cut To The Chase

The album's title track. This title of course refers to the new album and that I have set the bar a little higher for myself on it. I'll leave it up to you to judge whether this was successful LOL. But it's also about feeling good and happy. Sometimes you have one of those days when you get up and everything you do just works without putting in the effort. You then get a good feeling and the next action goes smoothly again. If you can hold on to that long enough you will get such an accumulation of positive vibes that at some point it will snowball and you will enter The Next Level. Everything then goes intuitively and in balance. This song is the happiest one of the album. Damn, I wish I had more days like that!

This one is about the contrasting feelings you sometimes have in a relationship. You love that person dearly and would go through fire for it, but you don't want to neglect yourself either. You can then lose each other mentally (and sometimes physically) after which you have to find the right mix again. You often meet again after several wanderings, but things can also go the other way. The time signature in 12/8, the two-part themes and howling guitarsolos in the style of Gary Moore and Slash makes Me And You the perfect musical illustration of this quest.

Me And You

The final track of the album. This song is my tribute to Dusty Hill. The bassist and co-lead singer of one of the coolest bluesrockbands of all time: ZZ-Top. Dusty's bass playing was a critical part of ZZ-Top's sound for over 50 years and he also complemented the showmanship of Billy in an excellent way. His lead and backingvocals were also a big factor and the synchronicity with Billy made every show a great spectacle. After a period of declining health, Dusty passed away in 2021 during his sleep at the age of 73. Thank you for all those years of great music, videos, entertainment and inspiration.

Dust In The Hills

I wrote this song somewhere in the beginning of 2018 while recovering from a terrible hangover after an out of control drinking session the night before. Once again I had that feeling where I was still half numb but at the same time had a splitting headache, was nauseous and hardly able to get out of bed to make something to eat or go to the toilet. Even watching TV was still too much for me and at that moment I would have preferred to transport myself a few days into the future to a moment where the alcohol would have largely disappeared from my body and I was somewhat normal again. Somewhere in the period when the hangover started to disappear but wasn't completely gone (after a day and a half or so because sometimes this could take a day or 2 for me) I decided to make an attempt to put this experience into music and dedicate a song to it. The song “Coming Down” later ended up on my debut album and is one of the most calm and minimalistic songs I have ever written.
