Around half the world in 24 hours

My alarm wakes me up at half past three, one hour and a half after I went to bed. As usual my planning has been a disaster. The travelgear I ordered on the internet wouldn't have arrived before today if I wouldn't have picked it up myself yesterday, my bank cards seemed to have arrived just in time...

Somebody at all

Be somebody: think for yourself, dream, feel. Choose actively. And live the way you choose.  *LYRICS*  There's a young man sitting in the corner  Saying "girl, we've got everything but time. There's luck to buy and work to do  I would hurry up, if I were you  It's...

Buracos no ar

 It's about picking yourself up at moments that unpleasent surprises have turned your life upside down and obviously there's no way back. Memories will stay as "holes in the air". Accept and cherish them, and then "follow the sun on it's way to tomorrow."    *LYRICS*...

Song for the silent / Refugee

It's easy to forget about the victims of war, that our countries are participating in too. We get used to the stories and images of the wounded (physically and mentally), the ones who lost everything they had; friends and family of the people who died. This song is to remind us of them and of the...

Chispitas

This song may be a bit of a strange combination I guess between folk and something that sounds like South-American music (?? I don’t really know what it’s suppose to be, in my head in sounds a bit like Cuban music or something…). It’s about how people’s lives can be lit up by others, even when they...

Whistle song

In Cadiz I got to know a lot of people living / working on the street. I was both a busker and a medical student, and I could clearly feel the difference in how people looked at me being one or the other. Talking about that being so unfair, someone once said: “yeah, we should listen to John Lennon...

Andalusië voor newbies: wist je dat...

“Oh ja!” Wist je dat…   … het eerste “oh ja!”-moment was: de fietser die ik vanuit de bus vanaf het vliegveld over de snelweg zag slingeren, met een helm op? … dat eigenlijk het tweede “oh ja!”-moment was? … ik het moment van met backpack, handbagage én gitaar de buitenlucht van 35 graden in...

Andalusia for newbies: did you know that...?

“Oh, yeah...” Did you know that…   … the first "oh, yeah..."-moment was: the cycler I saw from the bus, swaying on the highway but with a helmet (?).   … that was actually the second "oh, yeah..."-moment?  … I didn't count the moment that I stepped into the 35 degrees "fresh air"...
