Our first single is finally out, so happy!

skwasjer · 12-08-10, 11:14 PM

We finally released our first single on iTunes. While it's a dutch track, I hope you enjoy it.

Here's a clip we made:

The clip itself is a bit amaturistic (since we made it with cheap camera's and edited ourselfs) but it's a start to hopefully something better. The video also contains shots of one of the stages which we won a spot for (also thanks to Subsim votees).

Next week our second time on 3FM, a major dutch radio show.

We are still working on our website and social media, so don't expect anything great there yet...

Hope you like! And for dutch/belgian people specifically (but everyone is welcome), join us on FB, YT, Twitter etc. :] We need the followers/fans!

Man, I like your sound; I wish you nothing but the greatest of success and happiness in your efforts!

Very nice! Love the acoustic sound, and the harmonies are great.

I left a message and a 'like' for you guys.

Jimbuna · 12-09-10, 12:18 PM

How cool was that

I like it

AVGWarhawk · 12-09-10, 12:29 PM

The multi-talented Skwasjer! It is a nice sound. I do not understand a lick of the language but the melody is certainly top notch. Good luck friend!

Good ballad. Good group. Good singer. Life was good today!

Thanks skwasjer!

Sure, I already chimed in earlier, but this^... this is art. I totally love that attitude!

skwasjer · 12-09-10, 02:08 PM

Thanks alot for the comments :]

I like the music very much, and I don't say that about modern music easily

(For me the 80s were the top music-wise)

If you guys would sing in english, I'm sure your great sound would spread amazingly and get lots of success

BTW who are you in the group?

Ah, the question I was afraid to ask.

Yes, please, do tell.

onelifecrisis · 12-09-10, 06:00 PM

He's Martijn Bodeman, one of the two guitar players (not bass). Not sure which one though!

I liked it skwasjer

12-09-10, 06:24 PM

Freaking GREAT Man!

I may not understand the words, but the ART is very clear to me.
I can't wait for more Please.

frau kaleun · 12-09-10, 07:38 PM

Ditto to what everybody else said... I don't know what y'all are singing about, but it sounds great!

DarkFish · 12-09-10, 09:11 PM

Normaal hou ik van iets zwaardere rock, maar zeker goed

Zet 'm op, jongens!

Nope, definitely keep singing in Dutch. There are already too many English speaking bands. Of course it's my personal taste, but generally I prefer bands that sing in their native language to bands that do not.

So that'd be the rhythm guitarist if I read the youtube description correctly?

OK, for all you non-Dutchmen that cannot understand anything of it, I've made a quick translation:

--Where the wind brings him--

The thought brought him further than
anyone else would ever go
It doesn't matter what the other does,
but what he did

The difference with being rusted solid
doing what he means
Tell the one you're lost
and follow his feeling

And he,
is the man who leaves you standing [or "the man you leave standing", darn Dutch grammar

]
And he,
is the man who's different,
the man who's different

He leaves for where the wind brings him
so he never comes too late
And the time, the sun will tell
the reason that he leaves

So I wait here till he's back
look forward to his story
Then it's time to go myself
for a price I happily pay

And he,
is the man who leaves you standing
And he,
is the man who's different,
the man who's different

[solo]

And he,
is the man who leaves you standing
And he,
is the man who's different,
the man who's different

And he,
is the man who leaves you standing
And he,
is the man who's different,
the man who's different
