  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Limited edition CD's en brieven. Handgemaakt met liefde in Barcelona. Nederlandse versie.

    Een vader en zijn dochter zakten weg in een diep zwart gat tijdens de Corona lockdown in hartje Vlaanderen. Ze kwamen op het idee om brieven en liedjes naar mekaar te schrijven in de hoop om samen uit de duisternis te klimmen. Deze beperkte uitgave van "Enveloppen Vol Liedjes & Verhalen" brengt de twee samen, en vertelt een pakkend verhaal over
    liefde en intieme tederheid in tijden van kille afstand.

lyrics

The old man said
you are not made of sugar
if you don't beg or steal
you’ll have to work hard every day
remember to
forget what doesn't matter
for every choice you make
there is a price to pay
If you take the easy gate
count on it that you'll get fooled
if you think that you are clever
know that you’ll be overruled
if you're think you’ve found the answer
after the debate
the answer is too late
The old man said
why do you dye your hair?
life's a battle
the conqueror is age
you want to live forever
but you’re afraid of getting old
if you want my wisdom
embrace the final stage
If you take the easy gate…
Out in your car
with spotted chrome
it takes me far away from home
away from care
and good advise
away from fights and compromise
there’s no way home anymore
there’s no way home anymore
no way home anymore
If you long for peaceful phrases
silence is the tongue to speak
if you think that you are ready
why don’t you turn the other cheek?
if you think you need a friend
the best thing to be done
is being one
