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
