The cover photo is a game-play screenshot of a retro-style computer game I was programming and designing by myself a few years ago. Perhaps one day I'll finish that project... OR it will sit on my hard drive never to see the light of day again... I'm just bad at finishing things y'all. Anyway, this new track reminds me of the music on that game and borrows some of the sound samples. Hope you dig it!

LYRICS:

I will create a perfect world, a perfect world
I will create a perfect world, a perfect world
Where nothing gonna get me
Where nothing gonna get me
Where nothing gonna get me
Where nothing gonna get me

I'm gonna live a perfect life, the perfect life
I'm gonna live a perfect life, the perfect life
Then nothing gonna stop me
Then nothing gonna stop me
Then nothing gonna stop me
Then nothing gonna stop me

In My World

Frankie... 

New! Check the video playthrough on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rZOjLSHj92s

“Frankie” was the name Eddie Van Halen gave his guitar, a cross pollination of a Gibson Les Paul and a Fender Stratocaster, that he assembled himself from different parts for a total sum of of only 150 dollars. A Frankenstein Guitar so to speak, made from a left over second rate body and many different parts: the Frankenstrat. 

The Frankenstrat was Van Halen's attempt to combine the sound of a classic Gibson guitar with the physical attributes and tremolo bar functionality of a Fender Stratocaster. He singlehandedly reinvented the electric rock guitar and style of playing. 

Eddie died last year, and to remember him, I’ve made several covers of some of his songs, this time I made an original track, however heavily based on his playing, soloing and riffs. 

I hope you can appreciate and enjoy this tune written for Eddie, the man who inspired young Daniël, like so many other kids, to pick up the guitar and want to play rock music.

Recorded with the EVH relic Frankenstrat (shown on the picture)
Track written, recorded and played by Dan van den Berg, loosely based on several EVH songs:
In a Simple Rhyme, Girl Gone Bad, You’re no good, Unchained, Dance the Night Away, Hang ‘Em High, Light Up The Sky, AFU, Hot For Teacher, So this is Love?, Hear about it Later.

Recorded March 2021,
Recorded using Amplitube, AURIA.

Frankie... (original)| Remembering Eddie

Lonely Sea

a chilled summer vibe, chilled hop hop beat

Barbeque

Solitarius

This was a tough one... i worked on the vocals got them a little easier to listen to...

Run wild, run free, Take this advice from me,
Open your eyes, and open your heart to these possibilities,

Keep love alive,like a fire that burns inside,
It warms your life, and fills you with light,
To brighten the darkest night

Sound advice is never hard to find
But look inside your mind
Truth reveals itself in time

The past was all a dream, 
Tomorrow’s not guaranteed,
But now time is still, so just say you will,
This time is all we need

Be brave and true, Show love in all you do
If you stand tall You will not fall
I will be there for you

It’s good to know that I can be your friend
And now that it’s began
We’ll see this to the end

Stars in this diamond sky will soon fade into the light
But we’re here tonight, and we have the right
Now time is on our side

Thanks to some amazing musical genes, I find myself fortunate to be able to lean into generations of musical knowledge and perspective. Here is a take of #TomWaits’ #NewCoatOfPaint from his 1972 masterpiece #TheHeartOfSaturdayNight.

Today I feel like I’m sitting in the heart of Sunday Afternoon...
