News

*    Ooh, and the final song of 2009 came out at the very last open mike of 2009, last week at Sappho in Amsterdam, it is called 'Family', lyrics (here).

*    Ooh, and another new song has surfaced in the live circuit (they keep on coming at the end of the year...), yes, it is called 'Why', and got it's

      first airing in November in Amsterdam (lyrics here).

*    Ooh, a new song has surfaced in the live circuit, yes, it is called 'Nostalgia', and got it's first airing last month in Amsterdam (lyrics here).

*    Two new songs have recently been premiered live by me, one is called Find (lyrics here) and the other one is called Run (lyrics here),

      both were aired on stage for the first time during my first gig since the AA-Tour, in Utrecht, July 14 (playlist see here).

*    Well THE AA-TOUR with singer-songwriter After Runnymede (Canada) is over, but it was an interesting experience. Being on the road

      with a fellow singer-songwriter is absolutely fun and definitely planning to do this more often! We did play on the radio and a very nice

      interview in between the songs was done, incl. talk about Britney Spears and Paparazzi!  You can listen to that show in full if you click

      here (it's an mp3 of the show). And even in between touring I had some time on my hands to finish a new song, called 'M.I.A.'  (short

      for 'Missing in Action') and I premiered it on National Freedom Day (May 5). The song is loosely based on the Danish movie '2 Brothers'

      and tells the story of a man leaving his family behind to serve in the army in the war on terror in Afghanistan. The lyrics can be found here.

*    Oh yeah, and three other recently premiered new songs are 'Edge', the lyrics can be found here. The second one 'Fate' lyrics can be

      found here.  And the third one is called ' Break' and the lyrics are here.

*    The Paradiso gig in July 2008 was a complete different experience than last year, even better, because due to the more

      intimate setting the music and my songs came out so much better than last year, they got what they deserved!

      Here's one of the videos and one of the pictures. More pictures and movies of this great show,

      see here. Or catch all Paradiso & other videos at my YouTube Channel.

   Here's the song 'Wolves' !

*    Well it's been quite a while but I've found some time to lay some new songs on tape! So four of my most 

      recent songs have now been added to this website. The songs are; 'Bull', 'Flow', 'Road' and 'Wish' 

      recorded @ A MysterE's home studio in Amsterdam, April 9, 2007. Look @ downloads to pick them up
