TAKE ME WITH YOU
Baby here comes the sun, Don’t look surprised
Look up and see those heart shaped skies
And if this is heaven then let’s keep love alive
I can see above the clouds
Take me with you
Take me with you
I’m blowing purple crystals up against the silvery moon
And through my window pain I can see the daffodils will blossom soon
You can help me cope with these feelings so new
Feel my heart beating out loud
Sometimes I admit I don’t know what to do
All I know is want you to take me
Take me with you
Baby we can ride untill the break of dawn
And enjoy the late night kisses while laying in eachother’s arms
From the cradle to the grave let’s keep love alive
Feel your heart beating out loud
See the moon above the clouds
Sometimes I admit I don’t know what to do
All I know is want you to take me
When the morning comes tell me what you wanna do?
All I know is I want you to take me
Take me with you
Take me with you
Song by Matthews & Hoeve
Recording: Moonpub Music April 2010
Origami (Anyway You Fold Me)
Again a recording that I need to get familiar with hearing it online, also for repairs and who knows alternative version. Seems I’m a bit undecided these days… Working on it.
Note: Jules (lyrics) and me (music), we both still do not know what the song is about… As I understand it the lyric was written at work/the office – to ventilate frustration I guess. Does give meaning to song, must say. But without this knowledge, it’s the listener who decides what’s in it for him/her, the Bob Dylan way.
Song by Julian Wilson & Johnny Hoeve
STYLE: classic, singer songwriter, AC
You can make your assumptions
And your paper darts
And throw them down the office at me
You can fall on your knees
In an act of contrition
But I know it’s not somethin’ you mean
You can take your permissions
And your phantom needs
Forgive me if I fail to accede
As I stare out the window
And watch the leaves fall
I never hear a word that I need
Origami Origami
Why won’t you set me free?
Origami Origami
Anyway you fold me I bleed
Your far too close to me
To open your eyes and see
I know how I feel for you
It’s not how you feel for me
Waarom Ik Jou Nooit Meer Vergeet – W. Nelson COVER
I’m still in doubts if I should set up new site with dutch language songs only. But let me give it a go on Moonpub Music site (english) first and see how things develop.
As this is mainly a translation/Dutch language remake of Willie Nelson’s ALWAYS ON MY MIND it is not really important to make it a pefect recording – I think. I tried to stay close to the original meaning of the song – it is defenitely not a translation word by word; I tried to capture the meaning and mood of the song for dutch listeners, that’s all.
If you want to use this translation for your repertoire you’re welcome to do so. Just let me know though.
Some other covers for this song:
========================
- Jon Bon Jovi & Willie Nelson
- Shakira
- Elvis Presley
- Michael Buble
- Julio Eglesias
- Brenda Lee
- Chris de Burgh
- etcetra…

Hey. we’re talkin’ classic songwriting here, should be clear…
I Am The Dreamer
This title already got nice comments from the Just Plain Folks forum and also from taxi.com where it was submitted to one of their listings. No forward unfortunately.
It has a interesting song structure and though it may not be one of the coolest recordings ever, Donna and me are quite proud of this one. Great AC (adult contemporary) song.
The lyric was actually a poem, not meant to be a song lyric. We will probably try another one this way (first the poem, then the song) some time later. Lots of people say a poem cannot be a song’s lyric. Seems nice trying to prove that idea wrong now and then.
Song by Donna Devine & Johnny Hoeve
Style: AC Adult Contemporary, any ballad, some latin
