1. In the rain, around the city You'be been searching for too long For something special, a hidden treasure That shines a light in your life R: Every day that passes by The candle burns another drop of life Try to make it all worthwhile And not surrender to an easy rhyme 2. Distractions are at every corner And you don't want to miss the fun And so the day goes, another chance blowed You can't remember where you've start

Walk Away 02:28
1. Walk away from all the things that hold me down Walk away, its time to shine Walk away from all the lies I hear that much Find a way and do what you like Bridge: As I'm looking around I find myself Alone in a world so strange Refren: I need a way to clear my head In times like these I need comfort I don't have too much to give But some day I'll pay back I promise 2. Things that happened long time ago You cannot change anything about them Memories that warm I can't ignore The dreams that will always hunt me Bridge: As I look in the mirror I find myself The same in a world that changed Middle Eight: And God somehow you know the things I need to find And God somehow you know the trials yet to come, to be done

1. We were pure, we were young We could travel with one song We had energy to waste And the time was our friend 2. Those were the moments we got to share The good, the bad, the silly games We have done the best we could And we felt misunderstood Refren: Happy memories or sadness So strange how it doesn't matter What 's left for us to treasure It's the magic of those years of wonder 3. We should go on, discover more We should believe, there's more to see There's no reason to stop dreaming If youll find a way to live it 4. (ghost verse) We are grateful, for what we had And not resentful, for what is felt If there's one thing we should try harder Is to preserve those years of wonder

1. There are a million ways to live And a million ways to die You can live your life while dying on inside 2. And when the story is not told Because you never spoke Who's going to tell it all when you're gone R1: The time to change is here You'll never know, unless you try Stop going round and round To win it's not what it's all about R2: Some day you'll understand How things work out, there is a plan And when you gave up all There was a light, at the night's end 3. There a million ways to sing And a million ways to cry You can live your life while hiding what's inside

1. The old man gave up the fight a long time ago Resigned from all his dreams He doesn't have any regrets, happy with what he has He stopped to care at all B: It's the chance he missed - too much hesitation It's the life he pleased - wasted dreams R: So you're ready and steady For chances to be taken The moment when they will arrive The comfort, the pleasures Are slowly taking over Remember we're passing the time 2. A young man searched for the truth a long time ago Inspired by what's right But slowly he forgot his dreams, compromised in little things And so gave up the fight B: It's the life he missed - too much isolation The games he played - wasted days

about

In order to make 'Songs For The Ghosts' happen I needed help from 2 important characters.

They are Ro Halfhide (Producer) and Sjors Buiting (Bass Player).

I am grateful for Ronald's trust in me when he accepted to produce the EP.

He really pushed me to record my parts as spontaneous performances, without much post production corrections or manipulation.
This is why the songs have an organic feel and everything is very true to its original sound.

Ronald also brought the spacious and airy sound to my songs. It fits very well and certainly it raised the quality of my recordings.

Sjors Buiting's bass lines give the groove of this EP.
His influence is all over the place. I have programmed the drums emulating his bass parts. And I played the guitars on top of the rhythm section. So it's easy to see how it is all connected to his fingers.

The artwork for 'Songs For The Ghosts' EP was created by the hugely talented Anneke Caramin from Antwerpen, Belgium.

A very interesting aspect of Anneke's work on this project is the entire type she created especially for this EP's artwork.
