Songtekst buddy positivity- Pieter Tak
I'm positive about my glasses
they make me look quite straight
one tooth is fixed a little longer
so my smile has gained
some weight
My high forehead you're looking at
is a heritage from my daddy
I've been told
My eldest son has
that much space as well
from our twentieths we grew bald
Oh, Buddy positivity
Oh, Buddy positivity
I don't admire my nagging back
it is marked no one can spell
But every man of age counts his list
of scars he doesn't really tell
So it's better not to moan
about my corpse
it carried me for all these years
Through thick and thin
sunshine and rain
it brought me laughter
more than tears
Oh, Buddy positivity
Oh, Buddy positivity
I was a runner in my days, you
know
I sprinted along the line
That talent saved me
from quite a few fights
cause I could run away in time
Though my shoulders
carried the weight of work
countering temptations
what life brings
My hands took care
of what was worth
and my fingertips earned calluses
from the strings
O, positivity
Don't get burned from negativity
Don't let yourself squash
under simplicity
So let's burst out in pure activity
Oh,
Oh,
Now I am happy with my rusted
bike
I still walk another mile
I've seen those oldies
crawl and creep
So I prefer to end in style
My body brought me everywhere
although it was not that far
It brought me love and music, look
I'm still strumming this old guitar
Oh, Buddy positivity
Oh, Buddy positivity
Oh, Buddy positivity

you look daggers,
but that's fine with me
I've deserved it

so twist the knife

as deep as you can,
my love
I’m begging you
look me in the eye
the moment I die,
for that's alright with me

De nieuwste song van Pieter, uitgevoerd met TakandBand. Dit keer ‘All The Way’. Een LGBTQIA+ song, van een ouder aan andere ouders en iedereen die zich betrokken voelt bij dit onderwerp.
Nieuwe song / new song: All The Way van de nieuwste TakandBand EP.
An LGBTQIA+ song, from a parent to parents and everyone who cares
Songtekst all the way- Pieter Tak
You know this and I know that all those things go round in my head Like sweet water that reaches the sea a gap between you and me
I'm all colored while you believe that your faith is love but grief Why you hide your hair and face your eyes shine with so much grace
Gay, straight, all the way
You know this and I know that don't you tell me what is good or bad Living long enough to differ love from hate in the echo of the past we're too late
Now your boy loves his neighbors son and your answer is a religious gun Why on earth would it be so bad to love your neighbor instead
Gay, straight, all the way
You know this and I know that see them happy wearing pink or red Brackish water mingles near the shores but his lonesome mother ignores
You won't see them as a token of your hate but my boy is welcome with his date I give them every chance in my life give him all my bless as with a wife
Gay, straight, all the way
You know this and I know that some of you would see them dead Work together shaking hands live together staying neighbors becoming friends

Songtekst Toes – Pieter Tak
Instead of an escape through the secret tunnel I’m laying on the floor doin’ a whole lot of nothing, nothing, nothing and I’m not even bored
My naughty hands like to meet the little ends of my feet and there’s no objection to be heard although there’s a lot of them hangin’ around and all of them alert
But suddenly they start crawling all over the place like ants they’re rollin’ up and down my legs I try to push them into my colored socks but all they do is rag
And the reason why they’ve got to stay down there is to fill up the space in my shoes to wear and in the winter they’re cold while the rain is pourin’ down
Auoew…. stupid… ! you stepped on my toes ! and the fat dancer is punched on the nose well he hit me on an eye so fast that I froze Oh, bloody toes
Well, in an hour or two I had them back into my boots they even tried to change places I had to scream till they dropped off with angry faces
They’re not so long as my fingers plus nails they’re not that clever as well but who will read the lines in the darkness for them they can’t even spell
So I’m trying to suggest to a meeting in spring then we can hit the problem very close In secret we plan a plan for a plan and it’s called The Year Of The Toes !

Nieuwe song / new song: Step Outside van de nieuwste Tak&Band EP.
We gaan weer naar buiten, maar ben je nog dezelfde en doe je nog dezelfde dingen als eerst ?
We’re going out again, but are you still the same and doing the same things as before?
Songtekst step outside – Pieter Tak
After a dark
and crazy winter
summer is coming soon
And when the nights
get shorter each day
the sun is coming too
Baby, you will warm your feet
in the sand
Feel the rhythm of relief and
dance with the band
All along we
step outside
opening for each other
Some will see
their family
or try along to bother
Babe, you'll stand by the waterfall
in the light
Put your dark glasses on
cause it's too bright
Step outside, step outside
step outside your door
Grab your life, grab your life
grab your life once more
Step outside, step outside
step outside your door
Grab your life, grab your life
not just like before
Will you be gone
on the carousel of fun and desire
Picking up your life
of the consuming fire
No caution is
shining in your eyes
What on earth can attack us
by surprise
After a dark
and crazy winter
summer is coming soon
And when the nights
get shorter each day
the sun is coming too
Baby, you will warm your feet
in the sand
Feel the rhythm of relief and
dance with the band
Step outside, step outside
step outside your door
Grab your life, grab your life
not just like before

Nieuwe song / new song: Put Him In The Can van de nieuwste Tak&Band EP. “Who’s dog is pissing on the roses of the free?”
Songtekst PUT him in the can – Pieter Tak
Put him in the can Put him in the can Put him in the can It's a mean one
Dog was raised by a stone cold face at the other end of the rope Eyes are bulging and teeth are flashing Is he on steroids or dope
Fooling around on other ones ground pissing on the roses of the free Shitting on beds of the innocents when will he shit on me
Put him in the can... It's a mean one
Oh, it seems a harmless dog just a playful pal But the moment he sinks his teeth in you you never can tell
Oh, it's a shameless dog a stupid grin for the bite And the day before he comes to you he barks all night
Put him in the can... It's a mean one

Nieuwe maand, nieuwe song van Pieter, uitgevoerd met Tak&Band. Dit keer ‘Old Edges’, met gastmuzikant Wim Dictus op accordeon. Wat doet de song met jou? Luister en laat het Pieter weten!
Nieuwe song Old Edges van de nieuwste Tak&Band EP. Een lied over kleine gewoontes, eigenaardigheden en oude valkuilen…
New song Old Edges from the latest Tak&Band EP. A song about little habits, quirks and old pitfalls…
Op accordeon: Wim Dictus
Songtekst old edges – Pieter Tak
Oh, you old edges
were you not hidden for so long
I almost overslept
the setback we are dealing with
intending to get strong
Oh, my annoying habits
were you just out to play
I seemed to be awake
there was no sign of you
so I was determent to slip away
Was I losing my doubt
denying fear and pain
Or was I just dreaming
to free myself, in vain
Oh, you sharp rascals
I'm tripping over the wires you've set
I've been caught before
in the scheme of the dumb and deaf
it showed me mirrors instead
Was I losing my doubt
denying fear and pain
Or was I just dreaming
to free myself, in vain
Oh, my pointy pitfalls
why did you insist on coming back
We've struggled so many times
on every period of this life
Please go before
please go before
please go before
I finish this track

Nieuwe song Wake Up van de nieuwste Tak&Band EP.
New song Wake Up from the latest Tak&Band EP.
Songtekst wake up – Pieter Tak
Hey, wake up, you we must be on fire Hey, it's for you too we must be on fire
During troubles we act like one so why can't we together move on
We all saw which work does matter pay them well and get that done
Hey, wake up, you we must be on fire Hey, it's for you too we must be on fire
If you own the land my friend make it healthy for our sake
Shareholders put your shoulders under the load, now give us a brake
Anything that you can do could make a change you can deliver
Give a hand or maybe two all these drops will form a river
Hey, wake up, you -If the water rises we should all be sound and safe -Young inventors see the worries help to solve it just be brave -Fight polluting, global warming hunt the poisoners out of their caves -you're not alone so we should make some clashing waves
Anything that you can do could make a change you can deliver
Give a hand or maybe two all these drops will form a river
Hey, wake up, you we must be on fire Hey, it's for you too we must be on fire
Hey, wake up, you we must be on fire Hey, it's for you too we must be on fire

Nieuwe song Silence Is A Privilege van de nieuwste Tak&Band EP. Over de cultuur van ‘de andere kant op kijken’.
New song Silence Is A Privilege from the latest Tak&Band EP. About the culture of ‘looking the other way’.
Songtekst Silence Is A Privilege – Pieter Tak
De treffende tekst van deze song is van Kevin Groen.
They were sexually harassing women, but I’m not a woman so I kept quiet. They were making fun of disabled people, but I’m able-bodied so I walked away. They were intimidating Muslims, but I’m an atheist so I looked the other way.
They were scolding poor people for not working harder, But I’m not poor so I counted my blessings. Blessings
They were asking for help, but I managed on my own so why should I care...
They were discriminating PoC, but I’m white so I ignored it. They were physically assaulting LGBTI people, but I’m a straight person so I kept to myself. They were telling foreigners to go back home, but I’m a local so I remained silent.

‘Coconut Blog’ is de derde song van het nieuwe Tak&Band album, dat nog titelloos is. I like the way you are!
Nieuwe song van de nieuwste -nog titelloze- Tak&Band EP: Coconut Blog.
New song from the latest -still untitled- Tak&Band EP: Coconut Blog.
Songtekst Coconut Blog – Pieter Tak
Don't grow into a coconut, baby
cause the skin is too hard
Don't grow into a coconut, baby
I like the way you are
Don't change into a mannequin
that shield ain't much of a treat
Don't change into a mannequin, girl
I'm still longing for your sweet
Keep the color of a peach
a coconut girl is beyond my reach
a couple of old jeans will do
well I wonder how I get through
these fillers and your silicone... oops
Don't grow into a hashtag, baby
conversation is on the run
Don't grow into a hashtag, baby
I remember when we both had fun
Don't change into a blog girl
I' m longing for real friends to meet
Don't change into a blog girl, girl
your book of faces won't be complete
please stay the way you are
a 24/7 blog is a way too far
I won't miss an open screen in my bed
Well I wonder how I get through
these blogs and hashtags inside of you
Will a web of needlework
soon cover your shoulder
will it remain a sleeve of pretty flowers
when you are getting older
and your flag flies
in colors of the fall
will it fill your notebook at all
Will it fill your notebook of life
