CD1 TAKE ME IN: Take Me In
Lyrics: R. van Velzen, P. Kvint, A. Johnson
Music: R. van Velzen, P. Kvint, A. Johnson
Go on go on go on and seduce me
I can't pretend no longer
this feeling's taking me over now
I'm completely yours
Go on go on go on I surrender
There ain't no ego left to defend here
I can't resist to go where your wild heart grows
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you're ready to begin:
Take me in
Go on Go on Go on,
I'll reduce myself into
Nothing just to see how far
You can go on and on with temptation baby
You drive me crazy and everything is hazy
I'm completely yours
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you're ready to begin
Take me in
Make up your mind come on, come on
Don't waste time
Jump on the train and don't let it pass you by
You got to let me know
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you're ready to begin
Take me in

Love Song
Lyrics: P. Kvint
Music: P. Kvint
Come on baby
Won't you pick up the phone
Cause I'm here on my own
In my private twilight zone
I can't recall when I last had a laugh
And my friends are talking behind my back
They all worry about me
When they go out without me
Cause I'm kind of stuck in a broken hearted state
But I don't want to think that it's too late
For you and I to make things right
It's a beautiful morning
Sun is shining down on me and you
Where ever you are now
Won't you listen when I'm asking you to
Hold on,
I'll sing you a little love song
I promise to make it short and sweet
Do you like it?
Will you listen while I keep on
Singing a little love song
I hope it will make you stick with me
Do you like it?
Will you listen to me now?
If I could get it on the radio
Make it a hit on the air
So you would hear it everywhere
And you would think that it's pretty good
'till your friends told you and you understood
That it's me and I'm hoping
For a new beginning
Cause I never saw that sign that says "the end"
And it would make you want to see me again
Oh, excuse me I just fantasized
But if you happen to hear it
Won't you listen when I'm asking you to
Hold on,
I'll sing you a little love song
I promise to make it short and sweet
Do you like it?
Will you listen while I keep on
Singing a little love song
I hope it will make you stick with me
Do you like it?
Will you listen to me...
I'll sing in the street and I'll sing in the car
I'll sing on the bus and I'll sing at the bar
I'll sing it to everyone you'll ever meet
I'll sing for the moon and I'll sing for the stars
I sing it to Jupiter, Venus and Mars
And hopefully I'll sing you back to me
Oh yeah!
Why won't you hold on,
I'll sing you a little love song
I promise to make it short and sweet
Do you like it?
Will you listen while I keep on
Singing a little love song
I hope it will make you stick with me
Do you like it?
Will you listen to me now

Follow Me / Follow You
Lyrics: P. Kvint & J. Myrin
Music: P. Kvint & J. Myrin
Sometimes in life
It can be hard
To figure out the right way
So many roads
You walk alone
Fighting to make it through the day
Lost in a maze
You try to go back
Wanting to find the right track
And when you're up against the wall
I will stick with you through it all
Every time you break
I'll break in pieces
Every time you fall
I'll fall with you
At the end of every road
I will be there
In the darkest night
I'm shining through
Follow me and I'll follow you
I know your pain
I see the tears
That you won't show to anyone
I see your eyes
The hurt and the lies
No need to pretend it's all right
Cause I've been there too
And I made it through
And I will be right beside you
You don't have to face this world alone, no
Every time you break
I'll break in pieces
Every time you fall
I'll fall with you
At the end of every road
I will be there
In the darkest night
I'm shining through
Follow me and I'll follow you
I'll be your place to hide
I'll be by your side
No matter what you do
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

On My Way
Lyrics: J. Ewbank & R. van Velzen
Music: J. Ewbank & R. van Velzen
I want a picture in my pocket from the day we met
Remember when we drank too much
I want to carry it around with me
and show it off to everyone we meet
If that's okay with you
I want to rent a plane and write our names across the sky
In big white fluffy letters
Or just whisper something silly in your ear
When we're not supposed to laugh
If that's okay with you
Is that okay with you
'Cause you make it real
One of these days I'm gonna find you
Baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm on my way
I may be a step or two steps behind you
But, baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm on my way
I want to look at you from way across the room
And know exactly what you're thinking
Every corner of your body
Every perfect imperfection I will know
If that's okay with you
I want to take you on a thousand or more first dates
And everytime I make it better
Lie in bed with you for days on end
and never let you go
If that's okay with you
If that's okay with you
'Cause you make it real
One of these days I'm gonna find you
Baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm on my way
I may be a step or two steps behind you
But baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm on my way
And when we're grey and old
I'll still be by your side
Warming your hands in mine
We'll share the memories
You make it real
One of these days I'm gonna find you
Baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm on my way
I'm only a step or two steps behind you
Baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm on my way
I just want to lie with you
Share my life and die with you
Love you every single day
Baby, I'm on my way

Right This Time
Lyrics: R. van Velzen & P. Kvint
Music: R. van Velzen & P. Kvint
Sun begins to chase the shadows
The wind starts playing with the candles
We can only run no place to hide
If there's a place called inspiration
It's the final destination
Meet me where the dark turns into light
Somewhere in between what's wrong and right
On the edge of reason
We will run across the endless night
To find a deeper meaning
Don't stop now
I'll be right behind
To make sure
We will get it right this time
Goes by so slowly
All the things I got to know
All seem to disappear
The world is changing fast
City sirens in the distance
Shake this night into existence
Present slowly fading into past
Somewhere in between what's wrong and right
On the edge of reason
We will run across the endless night
To find a deeper meaning
Don't stop now
I'll be right behind
To make sure
We will get it right this time
So don't stop now
I'll make sure
We will get it right
Sun begins to chase the shadows
Wind defeated all the candles
Meet me where the dark turns into light

Truth of the Matter
Lyrics: R. van Velzen & J.P. Hoekstra
Music: R. van Velzen & J.P. Hoekstra
Home alone, Friday night
Counting down all city lights
Cause all that's left
don't seem to turn out right
Result of too much hangin' round
I scream but don't hear a sound
Need someone to bring my circus back to town
You said you'd be right over
You said you'd be the girl that sells the truth
But the truth of the matter is
I'm over you
The truth of the matter is
I'm over you
The truth is never far behind
I'd catch it if I could
To call this off, and start anew
Would be the sensible thing to do
So why do I still want to be your fool
You said you'd be right over
You said you'd be the girl that sells the truth
But the truth of the matter is
I'm over you
The truth of the matter is
I'm over you
The truth is never far behind
I'd catch it if I could
Girl someday soon
We're gonna bend the rules
You said you'd be right over
You said you'd be the girl that sells the truth
But the truth of the matter is
I'm over you
The truth of the matter is
I'm over you
The truth is never far behind
I'd catch it if I could
The truth of the matter is
I don't matter much to you
Oh no!

Dream with Me
Lyrics: K. van Velzen & R. van Velzen
Music: R. van Velzen & S. Rozeboom
Time and place are so unreal
It´s how we see the things or feel
You´re half a world away
But I can feel you near
You made your way right to my soul
Picked up the pieces and made me whole
Your presence seems so real
I close my eyes
Dream with me
Touch me baby
Dream with me
Move me like you used to do
I can see through the curtains of time
I can feel through the darkness of night
It's real, don't wake up
Don't let the bright light fool you
Just dream with me
And all the lights that guide the way
Make all the other things turn grey
There's too much to reveal
Just close your eyes and
Dream with me
Touch me baby
Dream with me
Move me like you used to do
I can see through the curtains of time
I can feel through the darkness of night
It's real, don't wake up
Don't let the bright light fool you
Just dream with me tonight
And when we get to cloud nine
You'll know just what to do
We're gonne make the sun shine on through
Move me like you used to
Move me like you used to
Move me like you used to
Move me like you used to do

Broken Tonight
Lyrics: D. Thott, C. Falk, F. Hult, S. Lee
Music: D. Thott, C. Falk, F. Hult, S. Lee
You see the world through your window
You don't even go outside anymore
You only feel safe feeling hollow
You think your scars are too deep to be cured
But stay for a while
Let me hold you tonight
Just open your eyes you will see the light shine
You don't have to be frozen
You don't have to be broken tonight
You hide your heart in the shadows
So afraid to open up to anyone
But I can see your faded halo
And I can make it burn again, like the sun
If you stay for a while
Let me hold you tonight
Just-open your eyes you will see the light shine
You don't have to be frozen
You don't have to be broken tonight
Just stay for a while
Let me hold you tonight
Just-open your eyes you will see the light shine
You don't have to be frozen
You don't have to be broken tonight

Stay a Little Longer (take one)
Lyrics: K. van Velzen & R. van Velzen
Music: R. van Velzen & J.P. Hoekstra
You say you haven't been yourself
Too long have you been on the shelf
Filling up with doubt
Well you may feel you've lost control
But tell me, who ever has it all figured out?
You need to get back on your feet
I'll turn you upside down for you
Stay, stay a little longer
I will build you stronger girl it's true
I'm not quite through with you
Stay, stay a little longer
I will fill the hunger girl it's true
In the place you were before
Just bits and pieces on the floor
Like a jigsaw mix up
But I can put you back together
Cause I vividly remember
The way you were
It takes time to rearrange your mind
I'll turn it inside out for you
Stay, stay a little longer
I will still the hunger girl it's true
Oh, all of the things we'd do
What can I say?
You gotta understand
I feel the urgency to keep you near to me
Anyway nothing I rather do
Make you as good as new
All I need is you and one more day
Stay, stay a little longer
I will build you stronger girl it's true
I'm not quite through with you
Stay, stay a little longer
I will fill the hunger girl it's true
Oh, all of the things we'd do
Hmmmm...

CD2 HEAR ME OUT - I'm Here
Lyrics: T. Verges, M. Busbee, A. Mayo
Music: T. Verges, M. Busbee, A. Mayo
When you're empty and you don't know
Why it al escapes you, escapes you
If those dreams you're holding onto
Shatter and it breaks you, breaks you
When you try so hard and you just can't win
Yeah I know that feeling
You don't wanna talk but you still want a friend
Anytime you need me I'm here, here, I am here
When you need a prayer but you can't find the words
Then I'll pray for you, for you
If the night comes down so hard
that you're lost in the dark I'll find you, I'll come find you
Whooo
When you try so hard and you just can't win
Yeah I know that feeling
You don't wanna talk but you still want a friend
Anytime you need me I'm here, here, I am here
Anytime you're lonely
Anytime you're crawling
Anytime you're falling down

Crawl
Lyrics: M. Sjølie, M. Hauge, P. Degiorgio
Music: M. Sjølie, M. Hauge, P. Degiorgio
On our way home down the same road
I can feel it again
The floor beneath both of us
Is trembling now, because the words are shaking
Telling me now doesn't change anything
You're tellin' me how I should've done something else
But how can I be guilty of a crime of you started
Stop right there, cause you can do better
I'm not gonna crawl
That's not what I want
I'm not afraid to stand where the others turned and ran
If you have to cry I'll make your tears mine
You're the one I want but I'm never gonna crawl
Standing outside thinkin' how lucky I was
Hittin' my stride, bein' there with you
But now it's like your emotion wants to claim
Something gone so wrong
But you can do better
I won't make that mistake
No, I'm gonna change that
You can't lead me astray
From your heart
Somewhere deep in your soul
There's a way to get out
All you hurt
And make this matter

When Summer Ends
Lyrics: J. Ewbank & R. van Velzen
Music: J. Ewbank & R. van Velzen
Ever since I met you
I've been waiting for the snow to fall
Waiting for the moon to call
The sun out of my eyes
And I can't help but wonder
Why you would spend your days with me
Why you would have your way with me
Why you're with me at all
And I wish it was forever
But nothing lasts forever at all
I know our time is now
Still I tell myself somehow
This thing won't end as it began
You're still here when summer ends
Another day is dawning
And I can't believe the light I see
You're standing right in front of me
A wonder to my eyes
And I don't dare to look away
Afraid that you might disappear
That you were never really here
It's all been in my mind again
And I wish it was forever
But nothing lasts forever at all
I know our time is now
Still I tell myself somehow
This thing won't end as it began
You're still here when summer ends
I used to prefer to be lonely
But you seem to be the only
One I can't let go
I know our time is now
Still I tell myself somehow
This thing won't end as it began
You're still here when summer ends
This love won't end as it began
You'll still be here when summer ends
Ever since I met you
I've been waiting for the snow to fall

Was It Worth It?
Lyrics: R. van Velzen & L. Jansen
Music: B. Kennis & R. van Velzen
Before I begin let me tell you the state that I am in
I'm throwing out reason again and it takes me back
Well as I rewind, leaving the darkness behind
It's turning increasingly bright, and it burns my eyes
To see us both on fire makes me weak inside
And my breathing slows down
I try to fight it but I can't help it now
Was it worth the try?
Wasn't all this waiting for you worth the while?
And was it worth the goodbye?
From the top of the hill the signs are so clear
We chose not to see ignored what we fear
and the promise kept us blind
Now i'm waving a flag won't you please help me out
We can't go back and we can't stop it now
I play it over, and over, and over in my mind
I see us both on fire
Makes me weak inside
And my breathing slows down
I try to I fight it, but I can't help it now
Was it worth the try?
Wasn't all this waiting for you worth the while?
And was it worth the goodbye?
I took the pros and the cons
and the right and the wrongs
and the heart and the songs
But the pain lingers on
Was it worth the try?
Wasn't all this waiting for you worth the while?
And was it worth goodbye?
Was it worth the try?
And was it worth the goodbye?

Anything is Possible
Lyrics: R. van Velzen & P. Kvint
Music: R. van Velzen & P. Kvint
When all the things that seem to matter
Slowly vanish in the haze
When all your dreams are suddenly shattered
Of life just seems to laugh you in the face
Don't hold on to what you know
Sometimes you just have to let it go
Keep on reaching for the stars
Anything is possible
Keep believing it's not that far
Anything is possible
When you just worry 'bout tomorrow
When you're too troubled to appreciate today
If you get lost on the road you follow
You're might have to change your ways
Don't hold on to what you know
Sometimes you're gonna have to let it go
Keep on reaching for the stars
Anything is possible
Keep believing it's not that far
Anything is possible
It's never right around the corner
Are we getting warmer?
Nobody knows
But if love waits just around the corner
Why wait 'till it shows?
Keep on reaching for the stars
Anything is possible
Keep believing it's not that far
Anything is possible
Anything is possible

Other Side Of Me
Lyrics: B. Lentink & H. Korneef
Music: B. Lentink & H. Korneef
Why do you misunderstand me
Though I keep silent I got plenty to say
Well I can't find the words again
Oh why do you think I don't need you
I may be blind, but hey I can still read you
Let's turn the page we're on and not close the book
You think this is the perfect time to end this
But I know there's still a chance for us to mend this
Open your eyes to who I really am and see
There's still an other side of me
Try to see the good that's in me
Cause I know that I'm just not ready
To burn our house down, down to the ground
And I feel we're on to so much more
If only you'd explore the road I see ahead
Do you think this is the perfect time to end this
Well I know there's still a chance for us to mend this
Open your eyes to who I really am and see
There's still an other side of me
Open your eyes to who I really am and see
A perfect opportunity
To meet the man that I can be
I'll show you an other side of me
3.39
Bigger Heart
Lyrics: J. Ewbank & R. van Velzen
Music: H. Schwedt & S. Rozeboom
Nothing you say can change my mind
None of your words will bend my course
I'm like a train but without the rails
I've got the wind blowing in my sails
I don't need no signs ahead
To tell me where I'm going to
Let every step become my way
Let every tred define my road
Don't think too much 'cause we'll go insane
Let's just kiss and resolve the pain
No need to understand
As long as we can believe it's true
So let's get high on a bigger love
On a bigger heart
Let's not swim for the shore
But drown right from the start
Let's get high on a bigger love
On a bigger heart, yeah
'Cause I'd rather we jump and fall
Yeah I would rather we jump
Than to never fly at all
We could never get hurt the way we are
We gotto get down to feel the floor
We won't get broozed if we never run
But might regret what we haven't done
So let us not sit and wait
But let us try to make to make it true
'Cause all that I know is
Given the chance we should take it
Every closing door
We've got to find what it hides
'Cause it might get us
High on a bigger love
On a bigger heart
Let's not swim for the shore
But drown right from the start
Let's get high on a bigger love
On a bigger heart, yeah
So fly high, high!
Let's get high on a bigger love
On a bigger heart
Let's not swim for the shore
But drown right from the start
Let's get high on a bigger love
On a bigger heart, yeah
'Cause I'd rather we jump and fall
Fly high, high!

Hear Me Out
Lyrics: R. van Velzen, L. Jansen, P. Kvint
Music: R. van Velzen & P. Kvint
Hush, don't make a sound
trust that we can win somehow
Breathe, before you run away
if you could just believe that we could find a way
I'd make you stay
You're here, but your heart is on the run
Can't keep holding on if i'm the only one
So decide, and this time make up your mind
I've drawn a line and now the end is in sight
you're out of time
How are we supposed to last when you're leaving
looking for the greener grass on the other side
When it's here and now, if you could just stop running
How are we supposed to shine when you always
keep me in the dark, the time is here and now
just hear me out
I never thought that I would risk it all
I never thought we'd walk the line
But now Iam pushing up against the wall
Won't you meet me on the other side
Hear me out, just hear me out

Music: D. Thott, C. Falk, F. Hult, S. Lee
You see the world through your window
You don't even go outside anymore
You only feel safe feeling hollow
You think your scars are too deep to be cured
But stay for a while
Let me hold you tonight
Just open your eyes you will see the light shine
You don't have to be frozen
You don't have to be broken tonight
You hide your heart in the shadows
So afraid to open up to anyone
But I can see your faded halo
And I can make it burn again, like the sun
If you stay for a while
Let me hold you tonight
Just-open your eyes you will see the light shine
You don't have to be frozen
You don't have to be broken tonight
Just stay for a while
Let me hold you tonight
Just open your eyes you will see the light shine
You don't have to be frozen
You don't have to be broken tonight

CD3 PARADISO LIVE - Chasing the Sun (live)
Lyrics: R. van Velzen & K. van Velzen
Music: R. van Velzen & B. Kennis
Give me just a minute to think out loud
If you have a minute to spare
You hide and seek and you're running round
It doesn't seem to get you anywhere
You're focus is off, let me rub you're eyes
So wake up, and make up
The act you're putting on is a cheap disguise
So break out, I'll break you out
All this time you're on the run
Waiting for life to start off
But it's already begun
Oh this race is never won
You know that it can't be done
You might as well be chasing the sun
Tell me how it feels to be on the ground
Now that you've changed you're game
You're catching your breath and it's slowing down
But the need to hunt remains
You try to find your way but you're getting lost
So brake it off, and shake it off
I promise I'll let you readjust
Don't shut me out, don't shut me out
All this time you're on the run
Waiting for life to start off
But it's already begun
Oh this race is never won
You know that it can't be done
You might as well be chasing the sun

One Angry Dwarf (live)
Lyrics: B. Folds & B. Scott
Music: B. Folds & B. Scott
September '85 I was 47 inches high
mom said by Christmas I would have
A badass mother G.I. Joe
for your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class
Now I'm big and important
one angry dwarf
and two hundred solemn faces
are you
If you really want to see me
check the papers and the T.V.
Look who's telling who what to do
Kiss my ass goodbye
Don't give me that bullshit
you know who I am
I'm your nightmare little man
Vic you stole my lunch money
made me cry.
Jane remember second grade
Said you couldn't stand my face
Rather than kiss me you said
you'd rather die
Now I'm big and important
one angry dwarf
and two hundred solemn faces
are you
If you really want to see me
check the papers and the T.V.
Look who's telling who what to do
Kiss my ass goodbye
You'll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
you shouldn't push me around
cause I will, yes I will
you will be sorry when I'm big
yes you will, yes you will
you will be sorry
Now I'm big and important
one angry dwarf
and two hundred solemn faces
are you
If you really want to see me
check the papers and the T.V.
Look who's telling who what to do
Kiss my ass goodbye
kiss my ass kiss my ass goodbye now
kiss my ass kiss my ass goodbye now

It Feels Like (live)
Lyrics: X. Hubrecht & N. Eweg
Music: X. Hubrecht & N. Eweg
Look at me standing here
Waiting for the train that doesn't stop here
In my mind I decline love drifts away more than a light-year
Never to return
And though it won't be easy
You and I should go our own way
It feels like, it feels like, it feels like love is on it's way
'Cause I don't see the sunlight in your eyes
It seems like, it seems like the love we had has slipped away
And so I'll say goodbye
In review, I look at you
Now what am I supposed to so without you
Faithfully, I believe I never will forget what we have been through
Forever in my mind
But now the story's ending,
You and I must go own way
It feels like, it feels like, it feels like love is on it's way
'Cause I don't see the sunlight in your eyes
It seems like, it seems like the love we had has slipped away
And so I'll say goodbye
And we wait for the moment
When we say you're my best friend
We know that is how we'll feel
Heaven knows that time will heal the wounds
But now the story ends here,
You and I will go own way
It feels like, it feels like, it feels like love is on it's way
'Cause I don't see the sunlight in your eyes
It seems like, it seems like the love we had has slipped away
And so I'll say goodbye

Burn (live)
Lyrics: J. Franzel, T. Lacy, J. Clayton Cates
Music: J. Franzel, T. Lacy, J. Clayton Cates
You struck a match inside
This frozen heart of mine
You set my world on fire
Stranded dazed and confused
Stumbling drunk on you
Consumed by my own desire
Tell me how tell me how
you burn right through me
You undo me yeah
What a way to go
Oh you twist and turn me
Ignite and stir me yeah
You know I got to learn how you burn
How you burn
Lost in a stadium full of frowns
Till your smile turned it all around
Now the mention of your name
Fans the flame
A flame that
Burns right through me
You undo me yeah
What a way to go
Oh you twist and turn me
Ignite and stir me yeah
You know I got to learn how you burn
How you burn
I wanted just to know you
Even just to come close
But every time we touch
That thought goes up in smoke

Waiting for the End (live)
Lyrics: F. Rinman, M. Pardon, J. Berg
Music: F. Rinman, M. Pardon, J. Berg
This summer heartbeat is the last
It shivers, then its gone
Now the days are moving fast
I've been waiting here too long
I've seen the dewdrops turn to frost
Reminding me of what I lost
I've seen it all before
I played your little games
I fought in all your wars
They always end the same
I won't fight you anymore
There's nothing to defend
My back's against the wall
I'm waiting for the end
Just waiting for the end
We move in circles we don't speak
There's nothing left to say
I may look strong but I feel so weak
Now the silence is here to stay
It's in our hearts, it's our heads
Right between us in our beds
I've seen it all before
I played your little games
I fought in all your wars
They always end the same
I won't fight you anymore
There's nothing to defend
My back's against the wall
I'm waiting for the end
Just waiting for the end
I've seen it all before
I played your little games
I fought in all your wars
They always end the same
I won't fight you anymore
No I won't take the blame
My back's against the wall
I'm waiting for the end
I'm waiting for the end

Baby Get Higher (live)
Lyrics: M. Read, G. Stack, D. Sneddon
Music: M. Read, G. Stack, D. Sneddon
You gotta flow, like a river
Heading the same way forever
I love you, love you, love you
And I'm trying to figure out
How to make it better
If you don't hide away inside
You'll your wings would open
So free your mind and you will fly
Baby get higher
You know that's all I'm asking for
Baby get higher
I don't think I can take no more
You're bringing me down
You're stuck on the ground
How do I turn this thing around?
Baby get higher
You're stuck in a groove, like a record
You don't even know what you're looking for
And you never, never, never see that I'm trying, no
I want you to feel
So much more
Let it all out, you scream and shout
Tear down the walls around you
So free your mind and you will fly
Baby get higher
You know that's all I'm asking for
Baby get higher
I don't think I can take no more
You're bringing me down
You're stuck on the ground
How do I turn this thing around?
Baby get higher

Someday (live)
Lyrics: J. Franzel, T. Lacy, J. Clayton Cates
Music: J. Franzel, T. Lacy, J. Clayton Cates
Life is seldom fair
But it's far from through
Dust off the fear that's blinding you
Risk a second take
Take a leap of faith
Who knows what you might fall into
Someday it's gonna turn out that way
Can't wait to see what happens
It's gonna set your world on fire
I know it's been a long time coming
But the wait will seem like nothing
When the lightning hits the wire
Someday it's gonna turn out that way
You've been more than brave
You rewrote the page
Of all the rules that tied you down
So brush off the luck
Yeah you won't need much
For you to turn this all around
Someday it's gonna turn out that way
Can't wait to see what happens
It's gonna set your world on fire
I know it's been a long time coming
But the wait will seem like nothing
When the lightning hits the wire
Someday it's gonna turn out that way
And then you're gonna wake up
in the middle of a dream
Just to find you're not asleep
Somewhere when the sun refuses to shine
You're gonna light your own sky
In the middle of the night
Someday it's gonna turn out that way
Someday it's gonna set your world on fire
Someday it's gonna turn out that way
Can't wait to see what happens
It's gonna set your world on fire
Someday it's gonna turn out that way
For you

Shine A Little Light (live)
Lyrics: P. Kvint & A. Johnson
Music: P. Kvint & A. Johnson
Crush me
You gotta take this ego off me
You gotta it to me baby
You're everything I want
Now show me
Only through your eyes I can see
Only through your wounds I will bleed
Into something, someone good
Shine a little light on me
Shine a little light on me
When it's getting dark too dark to see
Shine a little light on me
Go, go
I'm getting ready for the new road
I'm getting ready to be overthrown
So come and take me over
Now lover
Oh let the music take control of
Of this body, mind and soul
Shine a little light on me
Shine a little light on me
When it's getting dark too dark to see
Shine a little light on me
Let me turn you over baby
Let me slip deep inside
Let me be your comfort darling
Let me your lover tonight
And fly, fly

Rise (live)
Lyrics: R. van Velzen & K. van Velzen
Music: B. Kennis
So you've lost control
You think that life is after you
It feels like drowning in the crowd
And your sun is down and out
Now you've lost your soul
Your blue eyes getting darker every night
You don't even see me, you hide behind the blinds
So open up, don't keep it all inside
We'll erase the clouds out of the sky
We will stand the storm
And I'll keep you warm
Soon you'll wake up and you'll rise
A new sun will meet your eyes
Don't you rule me out
Solitaire's a silly game to play
You don't even see, how your world has turned to grey
But the morning will be brighter then today
We'll erase the clouds out of the sky
We will stand the storm
And I'll keep you warm
Soon you'll wake up and you'll rise
A new sun will meet your eyes
And when the night is over
And the dark turns into blue
You will face a different mirror
And you'll get a better view
And then the sun arises
Just to lighten up your mind
And charge your heart with fire
It will make you rise and shine

Unwind (live)
Lyrics: P. Kvint & A. Johnson
Music: P. Kvint & A. Johnson
Out of the dark sky
Out of the solitary blue
Out of a cold night
Out of a room without a view
How could I find you
How could you break on through to me
I must have been blinded
By a light I did not see
I'm in love
I'm in wonderful love
I'm in deep this time
All heart, no mind
I'm in love
I can feel my life unwind
One in a million
One of the lucky chosen few
Could have been different
Could have been me here without you
What are the chances
What are the miracles to trust
What are the forces
To turn an ego into us
I'm in love
I'm in wonderful love
I'm in deep this time
All heart, no mind
I'm in love
I can feel my life unwind
Unwind into something new
Unwind into something true
I see a million different colours
With each and every step I take
I find myself, now I'm falling into you

Fool For Life (live)
Lyrics: R. van Velzen & J. Ewbank
Music: R. van Velzen, J. Rooymans, H. Schwedt, N. Eweg, M. van Agt, M. van Schie
Is this the way I wanna live
Trying hard not to miss
Anything life might give
Why do I keep on running round
Chasing my tail, never exhale
How come I never settle down
Will I ever rest my head
At ease, at peace and in need of nothing else
I ask of you
If only fools are satisfied
Take my sanity away
If only fools, fools are satisfied
Let me be a fool
When will I ever lose this drive
I try but I never seem to win this fight
I'm like a house without a soul
The emptiness keeps me going
Maybe you can make me whole
And sooth my head
At ease, at peace and in need of nothing else
I ask of you
If only fools are satisfied
Please take my sanity away
If only fools, fools are satisfied
Let me be a fool
If only fools are satisfied
Take my sanity away
If only fools, fools are satisfied
Let me be a fool for life

I'll Stand Tall (live)
Lyrics: R. van Velzen
Music: R. van Velzen, J. Rooymans, H. Schwedt, N. Eweg
Life has run you over
Life keeps putting you down
All the weight on your shoulders
Leaves you to stare at the ground
You are in over your head
Don't see much of the sky
But I know you should know,
Just look up when you're low
We'll spin this around
I can hear you call
When you fall
I'll rise and make you whole
I'll stand tall
You'll be safe and sound
Miles above the ground
I'll stand tall and make you high
Give you wings and make you fly
When there's no way out at all
I'll stand tall
Drive it out of the slow lane
Speed things up to your pace
There might only be four walls
You need a map of the maze
I can see that you suffer
But in time you will see
there's new way to go
Just look up when you're low
We'll spin this around
I can hear you're call
When you fall
I'll rise and make you whole
I'll stand tall
You'll be safe and sound
Miles above the ground
I'll stand tall and make you high
Give you wings and make you fly
When there's no way out at all
I'll stand tall

Other Side Of Me (demo version)
Lyrics: B.Lentink & H. Kooreneef
Music: B.Lentink & H. Kooreneef
Why do you misunderstand me
Though I keep silent I got plenty to say
Well I can’t find the words again
Oh why do you think I don’t need you
I may be blind, but hey I can still read you
Let’s turn the page we’re on and not close the book
You think this is the perfect time to end this
But I know there’s still a chance for us to mend this
Open your eyes to who I really am and see
There’s still an other side of me
Try to see the good that’s in me
Cause I know that I’m just not ready
To burn our house down, down to the ground
And I feel we’re on to so much more
If only you’d explore the road I see ahead
Do you think this is the perfect time to end this
Well I know there’s still a chance for us to mend this
Open your eyes to who I really am and see
There’s still an other side of me
Open your eyes to who I really am and see
A perfect opportunity
To meet the man that I can be
I’ll show you an other side of me
VanVelzen's new single offers a brand new sound! The steady rocksong is accompanied by a solid bassdrum that fits the title perfectly. 'The Rush of Life' is the new single of 'The Rush of Life' album that is due in April 2012.
The collaboration between the #1 DJ in the world and VanVelzen produced a bouncing remix of VanVelzens 'Broken Tonight'. The EP contains no less than three different mixes of the song!
VanVelzens latest offering is the most complete VanVelzen album ever! The digipack not only contains the uptempo album 'Take Me In' and the more laid back 'Hear Me Out', it also includes the bonus album 'Paradiso Live'!
The first single from 'Hear Me Out' offers an 'Other Side' of VanVelzen, literally. This ballad with just voice, piano and chello adds a new warmth to VanVelzens output. The song is written by singer/songwriter Bertolf. 'Other Side of Me' peaked at #8 in the Dutch charts.
'Love Song' is the second single of the album 'Take Me In'. This cheerful tune is the third Top10 single for VanVelzen in the Netherlands.
'On My Way' is the first single from the 'Take Me In' album. The steady pop/rock song is written by VanVelzen together with John Ewbank and stayed in the charts for more than ten weeks.
VanVelzens fifth single, ‘When Summer Ends’ went up the charts like a rocket and peaked at #6 for weeks. Written by VanVelzen and John Ewbank as the title song to the successful movie ‘Zomerhitte’ (or 'Summerheat'), directed by Monique van de Ven after a novell by Jan Wolkers. Originally realeased as a single only, the song later appeared on the album 'Hear Me Out'.
'Shine A Little Light' is VanVelzens fourth single. The heavy riffbased song marked the last rays of sunlight in the Autumn of 2007. The two other songs on this EP, 'Shine A Little Light' and 'I'll Stand Tall' were recorded live at The Hagues Beatstad Festival. Especially the former of the two livetracks presents you VanVelzen at his best with the audience teaming up as a multiheaded background choir.
'Deep' is the third single from the 'Unwind' album. It became VanVelzens second 'Alarmschijf' (song-of-the-week) on national radio.
VanVelzens first album, 'Unwind', proved to be an instant classic. Straight after its release, the album went to #1 in the Dutch albumcharts. Less than a year later it went Gold and within a year after that it got Platinum. It also got rewarded with the TMF Award for Best Album in 2007.
VanVelzens second single, taken from 'Unwind'. Even before its release in Januari 2007 the song went on radio as Alarmschijf (song-of-the-week). It became an immediate Top10 hit and later went up the charts in both Germany and Belgium.
'Baby Get Higher' was released in September 2006. Dutch DJ Eddy Zoey picked up on it, and soon all radiostations followed. It was a big chart hit and is a classic VanVelzen song on radio and in concert ever since. Q-music adopted the song in its commercials and 3FM awarded it with 'De Schaal van Rigter', the award for most played song on radio in 2007.
