A bluesy song paying tribute to the Stoic way of thinking

Mind Over Matter

Funny Feeling

Is It Wrong That I Didn't Cry?

My Demons...

My demons...

What It Takes

A dreamy blues rock song. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

In my dreams the world is wide 
In my dreams my tears have dried
In my dreams it all makes sense  
When feelings rise up so intense  

There’s nothing to fear when you can fly  
Away from it all, up in the sky  
The sun and moon are my guides
Freedom waits where the spirit glides  

What does it mean when you're being chased?  
Is it some dark fear you once faced?  
The streets in my head, they twist and fold  
The fear’s not young, it’s ancient, it's cold  

There’s nothing to fear when you can fly  
Away from it all, up in the sky  
Every chain that bites can fade behind  
Every sign points to what you’ll find  

"The chase dissolves, the mirror cracks,  
You breathe through the breaks, no turning back"  

There’s nothing to fear when you can fly  
Rising above through the endless sky  
Now I understand, the higher I climb 
The answers were inside, all this time 

No more chains to chase tonight  
Just endless flight, just endless flight

In My Dreams The World Is Wide

This song is part of the album “Why me – but why not me too”.
It is not to be seen on its own, but as part of a journey I have to live through since my diagnosis. Each track tells a piece of this path – honest, raw, and unfiltered.

Conquer the Storm is about the hurdles you overcome in life.

This song is an AI-assisted creation, born from my deep love for the music that shaped me. While no human hands held a guitar or sat at a drum kit to record it, every note, lyric, and arrangement was guided by the echoes of the bands that defined my past. Think of it as a digital homage—a way of keeping alive the energy, emotion, and craft of the artists who once filled arenas and soundtracked my memories. This track isn’t trying to replace them; it’s a love letter to their legacy, reimagined through the tools of today. What you hear is the past and the future colliding, paying respect to the timeless spirit of rock that still refuses to fade.
