Songbird 03:28
I have always been a child Running in the daylight And it makes me realise That every day deserves a smile Cause you never know what you may find Next time The stars all start to shine at night And find their way to your eyes This pretty world will fill your mind And it will make you realise That you never ever have to doubt Your life Yes, we're all living this beautiful life
2.
Sometimes when we're feeling down All we need is a good time out Just about right now We're getting bullied on the playground And we're just about to scream it out Better scream out loud Cause you are a friend And we both want to get Away from here
3.
Engaged with a smile Taken down from behind Roll up to the sky With some tears in your eyes The angels fly Up to the moonlight A cheap disguise Keeps you crying inside But oh, dear friend I'll let you pick your own end Just wait, and see What time is doing with your life You've been wasting your time To get up to the moonlight With no one at your side To keep you from crying Still the angels fly Up to the skyline And even though you try You get left behind But oh, dear friend I'll help you pick your own end Just wait and see Cause someday this is history But oh, dear friend I'll make you pick the right end Put your soul in my hands And I'll guide you to the moonlight

Fool 07:58
Fallen down to the ground Knocked out, and left alone to die You were once such a loved one Now, here you are, you're crying out loud Shall we reach out our hands to you And give you a second chance That's the bright side of life Even though, it must be hard to see right now You are acting like a fool now That's the reason you'll be gone now You'd do well lying under ground Faced up, for a long, long time Realise your not the only one Find a place to call your own Leave it all behind, and start from scratch And don't you ever come back again When you finally accept the fact Your luck has slowly ran out You slowly take a breath and realise You're knocked out, and left alone to die Hey, you are justing driving us insane We are not excactly on the same page Why not try to make our day? Why not try to help yourself by going away?

Kite 01:24
Instrumental
6.
In time I wonder why My feelings are denied Driven by the shadows Afraid of the light I don't know why But tonight Yeah, tonight I'll show you what I'm like Every word I'll write down And every sound I'll make Will lead me to the goal that I need to create You don't know why There's no need to try It's better on The other side
7.
Every day you wake up with a smile And I wonder will you love me now? I am nothing without your blue eyes I am nothing without you By my side By my side Your blue eyes I'll love you 'till I die And the day I made you smile Was the best day of my life And I hope you know why I just think I belong to you and I think you should decide Wether I am right Just know that, when you do, I'll always be in love with you You just make me realise That you're the one that keeps me alive And you always make my heartbeat rise When I look into those eyes Eyes Your blue eyes I'll love you 'till I die With all the songs I'll sing for you I'll make you mine, I hope you do Remember all the joy we had Let's be together 'till the end And every time you'd close your eyes I suddenly realised That I would never change a thing No, I would never change a thing No, no
8.
Strings 04:59
I've seen it all go by Nothing will surprise And just when I lost the fight You got in my life I am feeling like a kite I just wanna fly And you never ask me why You're on my mind Just fly high We are looking at the sky Watch the sun rise Grab the strings, and let me fly There's no need to cry Just fly high While everything seems to disappear You're still counting all the tears And I'd like to take Your strings So you can fly far away from here And you could cast away those fears Yeah, I'd like to show you the way Home I'll take you home So let me take your strings, and I'll take you Home
9.
When I see your face I fly up to a higher place I look into those eyes And they just make me smile They make me think of A lifetime filled with love And as I recall I'm think you have it all The time we spent apart Yeah, it just breaks my heart I'd give it all to say Please don't go away You answer all my needs And make the two ends meet And as I recall I'm sure we have it all
10.
Losen up your life, and feel the sun rise Empty all your mind, and see the bright blue sky Look into my eyes, and you should realise We're all living this oh so beautiful life Don't you try to hide. Feel the hot rays shine Lose your disguise, and show your pretty smile The prime time off your life, you're in the spotligt Don't you wanna fight with lovers at your side? In the sky I'll fly home Straight to where I belong Angels guide me to the light They tell me I had a beautiful life
11.
Engaged with a smile Taken down from behind Roll up to the sky With some tears in your eyes The angels fly Up to the moonlight A cheap disguise Keeps you crying inside But oh, dear friend I'll let you pick your own end Just wait, and see What time is doing with your life You've been wasting your time To get up to the moonlight With no one at your side To keep you from crying Still the angels fly Up to the skyline And even though you try You get left behind But oh, dear friend I'll help you pick your own end Just wait and see Cause someday this is history But oh, dear friend I'll make you pick the right end Put your soul in my hands And I'll guide you to the moonlight

Goodbye 06:07
The moonlight will shine through the leaves in my eyes I think of the great moments I shared in my life And I wonder why I have to say goodbye The creatures start showing up in the middle of the night When the clouds block the light I slowly close my eyes And they wonder why I have to say goodbye

about

"Strings" is my debut album. Its unique sound is a soothing mix of acoustic and electric guitars, with influences from bands such as Radiohead, Coldplay and Pink Floyd.

Since I finished recording my demo's, I quickly followed writing new songs, as well as improving old tracks. This has led to a collection of new material.

So don't be suprised to hear some old songs in here. I have spent a lot of time improving tracks, and re-inventing them. You might recognize some songs from his demo album, for example the songs "Goodbye" and "The Angels Fly". I have been tweaking these songs since the release of my demo album, which resulted in totally different versions.

With few resources, I have been able to write, mix, and master these songs on my own. Many days of recording were needed to get the tracks to this quality.

Now I want to share my music with the rest of the world. Listen to it for free exclusively on bandcamp.
