about

It's late and I'm going to upload this before I talk myself out of it.

Things I will accuse myself of later: being a drama queen, working too quickly and not making a nice video ("what is happening to you? don't you care about good art anymore? yes I do but if I don't upload these songs quickly they aren't relevant and then they're just kind of dumb, if they aren't already. oh ok")

lyrics

Sometimes it’s hard not to give in to complete destroying anger towards family and friends. 

Two guys in the front of a Mercedes Benz, talking about their future and the raises they get 

Looking out of the window, put your headphones on, you will listen to old The Smiths’ rare b-side songs. 

And you’ll demonize everything. Everything is the worst. 

But I’m just a bit cranky because I saw this video
of Giel Beelen ruining the song Heart of Gold
That Tim Knol was playing on the radio and like a sort of very annoying rat person Giel went after Tim when he left the Veronica Studio

Sometimes it’s hard not to give in to bitterness
and sing about the Dutch music media like it’s a sickness

Giel if you hear this, I hope that you do
Invite us to your studio and we’ll sing this song for you.

We need the gig and the promotional value so kick me in the face and I will totally thank you

For letting us play on your wonderful show
You can do whatever, you can take me home

You can strip me naked and mention the size
You can film and come and spit in my eyes
You can fill my mouth I won’t put up a fight
Because I should be grateful that you invited me to your show tonight

But then something happened
a hero arose
Tim Knol stood up to the final boss

He got his guitar and walked away from the floor
But the lady at the desk disabled the electronic doors

“I got him!" she yelled and then
Giel said "great" and walked up to him and showed no regret

But when Tim called him an idiot, oh I cried
Never had I been so happy in my life

All the jokes about my music and my dreams
And feeling out of place in this music scene
And feeling like an annoyance when the Dutch crowd cannot shut up

Everything came out when Tim finally stood up

Tim if you hear this, I’ve always liked you
I once wrote a ‘krabbel’ on your personal Hyves too.

(Footnote 1: That was a social media platform way back in The Netherlands)

Tim if you hear this, one time we were supposed to be your support at a QuiteQuiet Leiden show

And it was a big thing for us but then you said no because the ticket sales were kind of low

I have to admit I was kind of mad
But I have forgiven you since then
Especially after you stood up against that condescending crap that all of us have to go through
