-lyrics-
The Magic of Winter is everywhere
I hear and see it all around
I’d like to be in that northern spirit
with warm clothes so you don’t feel the cold breeze

I’d like to be in that spirit all day, whole winter
with an open fire, candle lights,
ice crystals, sparkling stars,
magical things in another world
where anything could happen

friends and family gather all aroud
a very fine meal, or gourmet if you want
laughter and singing around the fireplace

Short chilly freezing days, but I stay up late
sitting on the couch with a blanket
watching movies, playing games
drinking hot chocolate, baking cakes
and I feel The Magic of Winter in many ways

Another World

The Magic of Winter

'A dreamy song about the fragility of life'

'Only a Dream' is one of the songs taken from my new album 'Another World'!

-lyrics-
Maybe you were only a dream
a dream I hold on to
I don’t know if you are real
you have to tell me now
what did I miss, what did i do wrong?

Losing my mind everytime
everytime I think it’s gone
It’s weird and I am torn
torn apart

Maybe it’s not the time
the time to tell you now
Not the place and not in line
what does it mean for us?

Losing my mind everytime
everytime I think it’s gone
It’s weird and I am torn
torn apart

The stars above and around
around us disappear
where are they now?
Are they gone or did they fall?
Fall into the great black hole
swallowed everything I know

Losing my mind everytime
everytime I think it’s gone
It’s weird and I am torn
torn apart

ONly a Dream

Only a Dream

-Lyrics-
Soms hoef ik niets te zeggen
hoef jij niets te doen 
Weet je gewoon wat ik denk
wat ik bedoel
Soms kijk je me aan en zie ik wat je denkt,   
maar er is een andere wereld voor ons
  
Ergens in de verte, hier ver vandaan
'k weet ook niet waar het is, 
maar eens zullen we daar zijn
Geen zorgen en geen twijfel
warmte om ons heen

Het duurt misschien nog even
wat langer dan je dacht
Kan dichtbij te dicht zijn en ver weg te ver?
Laten we dan ergens tussen in zijn
en daar blijven midden in

Ergens In De Verte

-Lyrics-
Lying in my bed
Watching all the stars
looking back in time
It made me think of you and I 
wonder what it could have been

I don’t know where my mind was back then
And I hope it will solve
but don’t know how and when 

Thunder and lightning all over the place
Everywhere I look
See all the lights, hear all the noise
Left the past behind, far behind

I don’t know where my mind was back then
And I hope it will solve
but don’t know how and when  

And I dreamt of all the things that I could have done before,
before your time 

I know where my mind is today
and I wish I was’nt falling further away

I Know Where My Mind Is

-lyrics-
People in and under water
what if Atlantis still exists?
dwarfs and elves no longer hiding
angels flying in the sky

What would we do in a world like ours
but with magic in between and all around?
What would we do?

Unicorns, sfinx and sirens
wandering across the lands
serpents, firedragons, monsters
mythical beasts eveywhere

What would we do in a world like ours
but with magic in between and all around?
What would we do?

Sometimes it’s almost touchable as if they never left 
with a window to a parallel universe
an alternate reality

What would we do in a world like ours
but with magic in between and all around?
What would we do?

-lyrics-
Een vliegtuig in je voortuin en koeien voor een flat
Honingbordjes op het pad en vuurkorven te koop
En bomen.....................

Een trein raast door het weiland en mensen kijken op
Een skyline in de leegte doemt dan ineens op
En de wind waait overal...........

Een auto in het gras en een oeros op je pad 
Een groene snelweg dat is toch ook wel wat
En bomen.......
En de wind waait overal

Onder de rook van de stad en de geur van het land wonen wij
Fietsend als in Frankrijk, maar dan heel dichtbij
De Nederlandse polder nabij
En bomen
En de wind waait overal

All I ever wanted is you
I never knew it til now
never knew it til now

I never knew someone like you

Sittining on the couch in the evening sun
Oh summer days that I remember
I hear the frogs and crickets
and see a panoramic view with cows
Oh summer days I remember

Walking and singing and dreaming in the morning sun
Oh the summer days I remember
I hear a soft breeze whisper of the wind 
The cats in the garden, on the barn, up on the chairs
Oh summer days that will come

Forests nearby with silence, peace, a quiet place
Oh summer days that will come
Friends staying over in a house with a lot of space
Oh summer days that will come
Oh summer days that will be near

Summer Days

-Lyrics-
I feel the autumn is nearby
We walk beneath a grey grey sky
You say it’s depressing weather
But I feel strong,
things are getting better

And I am dancing in the rain of leaves
I see the colors everywhere
mushrooms, the trees, chestnusts, the forests
That’s what I like most of autumn days

No longer dark clouds,
I see a hazy sun
It is coming to bright up
shine its light to where it begun
sad feelings are gone

And I am dancing in the rain of leaves
I see the colors everywhere
mushrooms, the trees, chestnusts, the forests
That’s what I like most of autumn days

The rain and thunder passing by
and if it’s here, I’m still fine
outside my window
I see a beautiful sky

And I’m still dancing in the rain of leaves
I see the colors everywhere
mushrooms, the trees, chestnusts, the forests
That’s what I like most of autumn days

-Lyrics-
Well you think it's better and you realize
That you can't give up
That you can't give

All I ever wanted
I ever needed
was here and close to me
It was what I was
and what I wanted to be

And now there's nothing
left for me
't seems like it isn’t real
This life it isn't me

I think I cannot do it but I can't refuse
I don't wanna do it but I can't refuse
No I can't give up

If there was just anything
No one can help me
They are all nice to me
They all know what's best for me

And now there's something
It’s not much
It is enough
I'm feeling warm all over

I want to go back
where the sun shines
Where I am close
to what I was
and what I wanted to be

Well you think it's better to realize
that I can't give up
that I can't give

Almost at the end of the year
and I wonder what I should do next year

mmmmm

I remember all the times that you were okay
and I hope I will see them again someday

mmmmm

and now we’re waiting ‘till the end of the year
and I hope it will be better for you they say

mmmmm

And I know it will be
I know it will be
I know

Time flies they say when you’re having fun
but it’s not always like that you know
What should I do with the time that’s left

mmmm

It’s ticking and it’s tikcing, it’s ticking away

Ticking

Music and lyrics by Yvet van der Tuin 

-lyrics-
I was walking in the fields
looking at the sky above
Falling on to the grass
with my arms open wide

Dreaming of-------

You were running at me
and I just stood still
I was just looking
looking at you

Dreaming of--------

Around us only forests
as far as I can see
Living in the dream
where should I be?

Living in the dream
Where will it be?
Living in the dream
How long should I stay?

Dreaming of--------

Dreaming of

Dreaming Of

Winter Is Coming is one of the songs taken from my new album Space & Time, released november 3rd 2021.

-Lyrics-
Mmmmmmm				

I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
Everywhere snow and christmas presents	 
It's cold outside, but indoors nice and warm  
Cosy and a lot of laughter
			 
Maybe, maybe, it's always changing
Maybe, maybe but not like this

I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
Skating and hot chocolate, sparkling lights
Every step outside makes a cracking sound  
on the still frozen ground

Maybe, maybe, it's always changing
Maybe, maybe but not like this

I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
As the days begin to shorten, temperature falls
opens up a world of cracking open hearths 

Winter is coming, winter is coming
Winter is coming, not like game of thrones,
but it's still quite scary

I hope it gets better, i hope it gets better
I hope it gets better,  like it used to be, 
before the onset of winter	

Maybe, maybe, it's always changing
Maybe, maybe but not like this

Space & Time

Winter Is Coming

I am a singer-songwriter who mainly focuses on vocals and piano. I was influenced by artists like Tori Amos and Agnes Obel  and  I  grew up in a musical family between folk and cabaret.  I write both English and Dutch songs, sometimes quite literal, sometimes hard to understand, sometimes wordless, but always poetic!
I also give singing and piano lessons and lead choirs.
Let me know what you think of my music, enjoy!
