The Greatest love Story
This song was only made possible by the donations from friends. If you like anything anything about what I do and have some euro's to spare hit the buy button. Whatever donations made to me will be used to record and mix the next songs.
I started writing this song in 2012 during a time of change in my life. But it wasn't until 2015 that I wrote a chorus that felt right for the song. Finally in 2017 my musicianship had reached the same level as this song and with the help and studio space donated to me by Alex Pichler I was able to get the idea's out of my head and recorded. Alex brother I am forever grateful, a gift you gave me that keeps giving, you will see ;)
A huge thank you to Jake Monson for the 2nd set of ears and amazing synth skills and of course Dave WIlkie who was been a mentor to me since I first showed interest in sound production back in 2000. Your original take on mixing has elevated this song into a new realm or orginality.
Forever grateful.

The Greatest Love Story (Lyrics)
Another conversation has lead me to achieve,
The same conclusion I make every time I need a little money.
And if I put my head in the sand and let it slide every time,
I can go from day to day only getting by never really questioning,
Is this the meaning of life?
Is this the meaning of life?
Can I ask something from you,
Has this been something,
You believe in, or just the way it is?
We're not living, just breathing, believing is freeing.
We're losing well being ignoring and never really questioning this
Game we're playing with ourselves.
Can't you see the shame we bring everybody else to get ahead.
I still feel this love, unconditionally, in this life this waking dream,
This book that will be the greatest love story.
I roll my eyes to this god damn world I think,
Could this really mean there's nothing else.
Or maybe I'm losing my mind. Paranoia hits a little hard sometimes.
My instinct is that we're on our way back
To something true to ourselves.
And when it shows, I will know, I will let go,
Will let go of this troubled life, that causes,
Pain we do it to ourselves.
Cant you see the shame we bring everybody else to get ahead.
I still fell this love, unconditionally, in this life this waking dream,
This book that will be the greatest love story.
Sinking fast with this broken ship as the
World around us has turned to shit.
All I wanna do is smile.
All i wanna do is smile.
Game we're playing with ourselves,
Can't you see the shame we bring everybody else to get ahead.
I still fell this love, unconditionally, in this life this waking dream,
This book that will be, the Greatest love Story.
