Slow

1.
With nothing gained but a lesson learned I should walk away and not return It's plain to see It's pretty clear what I'm supposed to do I've heard all the cons and they're all true It all makes sense to me Our paths never should have crossed And in the end not much was lost It turns out we never had anything at all But still I wonder if I should call I've got self-respect and sense in my brains But they're up against a heart in pain Can't you see Keep telling me that I can never win But with nothing to lose it just won't sink in It'll never make sense to me
2.
The brochure blue skies with endless sunshine The pictures you paint are my favorite charade All the landscapes like orange crate art Inside your cell is where my dreams were made The light never shone so bright From a place as dark as night Who needs to understand Who needs words to make sense Cause when I'm with you The summer never ends From cradle to the grave or sea to shiny sea No trip's too far out you can take me with you We'll conquer time and we'll conquer place Without memories imagination will do.

It's like there's something in the air It's somehow different than a day ago It has been on my mind, I knew there was much more to find So get here fast to take it slow Morning broke so here we go Creating memories to always last It's what we've waited for, some days are good and some are more Not many better days have passed This should go on for a month or so But for now we've got today Don't sit and watch the hours go by Grab it before it's away We don't just go from A to B And the trip's just as good as getting there No matter where that is, we'll make it a place that we'll miss Our heaven could be anywhere And still there's something in the air It's just as perfect as a day ago This will stay on my mind, who knew there was this much to find Time goes too fast so take it slow.

Open Ending 03:45
There he walks through his town Like so many times before He lived here for all his life But it's not home anymore Too much has changed, too much has gone So have most people he knew He had a use some time ago Now there's nothing left to do What he's got left is a head full of plans What he's got left is much time on his hands He's nobody now But they will not forget his name They will know that he was here This town will never be the same The people will say That they never would've guessed That he would change so many lives He'll make an impact that will last He used to have so many dreams Very few of them came true Still thinks he's got things to say But he wouldn't know to who He always gave and he hardly took And now everything is gone He always had so much to do But what now that he's done
5.
Keep the pictures flickering Keep the records crackling as they play A blanket for the things In the attic where they're all stuffed away It makes me live life twice Adds the sugar and it adds the spice All the blue is fading now What remains is the warmth of the yellow and red And as the light gets dimmed The same old songs will play in my head The dust twists reality Things will never be again like they were not Fade into memory We'll never have again what we never got
6.
Slow 03:26
It started off quite long ago Some time before I got my ears It came by on the radio It did enough quite long ago To never fade throughout the years If anything, I think it might grow I started off taking it slow My one defense, well that's just me This seems to be my way to go Quit playing tough and take it slow Just let it be how it must be Just make sure you don't go with a flow Try to get as close as I can And even if it fails again I couldn't do without it There's not much more that I can do This is all I can give you Could you please allow it
7.
The dark ocean meets a sea of light As we're drifting into our last night We'll have our feet back on the ground When this all floats away Words don't make too much sense anymore What we understand we'd better ignore There's a lot of talking around us But no one has much to say It's such a great place to leave We're like the ships in the bay It's such a great place to be We're just a day away We're swimming in the seas of time Each ripple moves in perfect lines We'll start a movement this way sSmehow we'll make a change And if you lose your way in life Remember there's still plenty of time You'll have your feet back on the ground When this all floats away It's such a great place to leave We're like the ships in the bay It's such a great place to be We're just a day away
8.
I'd never heard such a deafening silence Or seen the sky so grey It never was as hard to pass a doorstep As it was today You said you would And I just thought that you were full of it But today fate proved you right I'd like to think That somewhere, somehow you are cool with it You'd be the only one tonight The words had never been as hard to get out Well, what was there to say? The laughter never had been as uneasy As it was today You said you would And I just thought that you were full of it But today fate proved you right I'd like to think That somewhere, somehow you are cool with it You'd be the only one tonight
9.
If you found just what you want If you found just what you need What you need to feel alright What you need to feel complete It's right there but out of reach It's right there for you to see For you to see that it's so right For you to see just what could be If you keep your eyes shut Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again If you keep your eyes shut Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again And you don't know what to do And you don't know what it takes What it takes to lose your brakes What it takes to change your fate Can you live with what you are Can you live with what you're not What you're not but want to be What you're not and haven't got If you keep your eyes shut Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again If you keep your eyes shut Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again If you keep your eyes shut Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again If you keep your eyes shut Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again If you keep your eyes shut (You'll never find your way) Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again If you keep your eyes shut (You'll never find your way) Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again If you keep your eyes shut (You'll never find your way) Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again If you keep your eyes shut (You'll never find your way) Cause it looks better then You'll never find your way You'll get lost again

about

Joost van Gisbergen played guitar in several hardcore and punk rock bands. As a member of For A Few Dollars More, Striving Higher, Downslide, MM and Operation Phoenix he performed live throughout Europe and played on five CDs, an LP and three seven inch EPs, which were released on well-respected indie labels such as Crucial Response and Engineer Records.

Although he had enough outlets for his hardcore and punk songs, it always frustrated Joost a bit that he never got to do anything with the more mellow songs that he'd written under the influence of personal favorites such as Elliott Smith, Cat Stevens, Warm Sounds, The Beatles and The Beach Boys.

From the late Summer of 2010 on, Joost started recording some of his own songs with the help of Nina Kurt (additional vocals), Fourteen Twentysix-frontman Chris van der Linden (production and additional instrumentation) and Tim Antonius (production). You can find the results of several recording sessions from throughout 2010 and 2011 on this page.
