Album 1
Scroll to below the player for short descriptions of each song and style.
All these songs are originals - written and recorded by me, before I discovered voice-altering tools and Suno. Except for the drums, all instruments are played by me too.
​
Goodbye DC When David Crosby passed away, I saw several interviews that lead to these lyrics. The music is inspired on Lay me down, a track by Crosby & Nash. Country / folk
​​​
Seven Sins We feast on sins committed by others. And you can disapprove of that, but most likely you are knee-deep into it, like everyone else. Pop
​​
Fresh embers A relationship has to be stirred up every now and then, to keep the fire alive. Slow pop​
​
Mysteries is an anthem of a dying hobo that asks the great questions of life. Sometimes answered by a violin nearby - with extracts of famous songs by the Beatles, Stones and Bob Dylan, with an obvious Beatles ending. Pop, long song with varying parts
​
Something wrong You could do something wrong and still don’t regret it. With sounds of a blackbird and of our dog, that suitably barked during recording. Pop
​
Time travel We can’t go back in time. So ‘Sorry’ should do it when something went wrong that can’t be fixed. And what if that doesn’t? Pop
​
Hello’s and cheers About a high school reunion with numerous old friends and class mates - and your first love, still gorgeous. Pop / easy listening
​
​Who I am Trying to change someone is not what a relationship should be about. Especially if he or she feels that a lot has changed already. Pop
​
She’s not to blame Meeting a new love can also mean saying goodbye to a previous one. That can be hard. Pop / rock
​
Master of mediocrity When you do a lot of different things - like I have always done - you will not rise above mediocrity. I wrote this song around 1985 - in retrospect I can say that I made the right choice, focussing on everything. Pop with quite experimental guitars
​​​
Your story These lyrics are an acrostichon; the first letters of each line form a second title. It reads Michael Jackson’s History. When this album came out, so did the first law suits against him. Pop
​​
Cheer up A song to uplift someone who is feeling down. Pop in Matt Bianco style
