If Love Had a Sketchbook

From paying attention to making songs, like a love poem!

The poem was born almost simultaneously with this song:

It’s a song I wrote 10 years ago, but I’ve extended the lyrics a bit.

Sleepwalkers don’t sing songs,
and third verses are for wimps, but still…

Yesterday, I spent the entire day making a music video for the song. I’ll continue with it today – I need to be more patient in this area instead of launching half-done projects into the world.

Now that the rather heavy case of a lawsuit is behind me (turning yourself into a lawyer is no easy task, especially in such a complicated case) – now I have a bit more time, thankfully.

I have a good laugh when I see Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer in a television interview saying that he works three hours a day. He even says it in such an indignant tone, as if it were a Sisyphean task.

A wonderful interview with Hakim Bey, the anarchist who also plays a role on my debut album:

Listen to the man, he has so much wisdom to share!

Best regards,
