Listen To All That Jazz Baby, you’re like music to me. You’re the picture I see, when I close my eyes. Baby, you’re like a melody that lingers inside of me. You make me realize. You’re the sound that matches my soul and I listen to … all that jazz. Baby, you are the words for me that makes the sentence come free, when I write a song. Baby you are the notes for me when I write a melody and the music lingers on. You’re the sound that matches my soul and I listen to … all that jazz. Baby, you give meaning to me. To all that I long to be, when I’m with you. Baby, baby you set me free. You let me fly to where I wanna be and that’s with you. You’re the melody that’s inside my soul and I listen to … all that jazz. Click here to listen.... Inspiration is everywhere, so very often I cannot say I am ‘writing’ a song. Very often I’m more like ‘receiving´it; a melody, a piece of lyric, or an idea, or just a guitar lick. And when time is on my side I do something with it and it evolves into a real song, and sometimes it gets recorded. I have been playing and singing from age 10 and my first song dates from 1968 – I was thirteen at that time. Never stopped since, although there have been periods I wrote less. But always I was playing in bands. The first years/bands we performed many of my own songs, being the writer/composer of the band. My first CD (1995) was inspired by expecting, getting and having two daughters. All songs (in Dutch) are about that wonderful experience of getting and having a child. Much later -2015- I released a double album with all kinds of different songs, many styles; hence the title “All sorts…One guy”. Songs about love (of course), about music styles, self-reflection, losing someone, social media, Christmas, a photograph, and more. Other CD’s were “Shades of blue’s”; a bluesy, blues inspired CD with songs with lyrics about the terrible terrorist attacks (Paris, Bagdad,Manchester) that happened, about criticizing nearly everything, or about lost love and starting over. In 2017 another Dutch CD came out with 16 songs on it. In 2018 I released a second double album: “WAVES”, with a second “bonus”CD filled with (decent enough)demo’s of the songs I played with several bands. “Listen to all that jazz” is a love song. Simple lyrics, written one line after another, expressing my thoughts of that moment. The song was on the 2015 album “All sorts … One guy”. It’s an example of a song that more or less writes itself. Lyrics in maybe 10 minutes and composing during the morning and recording it in the afternoon. Loved it! At the time of writing this article (December 2019), I am waiting for my latest album release, coming end of 2019, entitled “61 – Etched in Memory”. On it some more personal songs. Maybe you’ll read about one of them in a future edition of this <strong>Write</strong> <strong>Away</strong> magazine. 56 www.writeawaymagazine.co.uk
