about
This was my first music project and it brought about plenty of joy. In a way, it was a dream come true, but at the same time it gave me a great sense of fulfillment as I was able to download a part of me which could be shared with the world.
This album was completed in 2012, where I used material that I wrote from 2000 to 2011. It covers various themes from pursuing one's dreams and knowing their worth, to equality, death, being yourself, dancing your way through life and acknowledging the uniqueness that lies within all of us. And yes it covers love, the deep love that lovers have for one another, and the constructive love that human beings have and should have for one another and all that surrounds us.
The music is folky, and the lyrics are real, from the heart and poetic.
I hope you enjoy my first attempt at creating some real music!!!!!

Lyrics
“Emotions, the core, of your existence. The beat that drives your heart, your soul, starts from within.”
Dream
“It’s all distorted, shattered cases, many faces, so we just vent.”
Cirkel
“We got the same roots, same faces, just a different painter.”
Layla
“I love her dearly my origin, will always be alive, that’s a given.”
Existence
“And they are laughing, the clown in me decides to stay.”
The clown in me
“It’s a finesse and punch that we need in our lives, a dance through it all, foot motion coincides.”
Finesse & punch
“So embrace the good days, before they make it into a bookcase.”
Happy days
