Words by poet Vir Kashmiri in celebration to the goddess of Nature.

Songtekst For I Am You – Pieter Tak


for I am you 
and you within me 
in essence like scent 
within the flower 
the running water 
within the river 

the air within the atmosphere 
the song that echoes 
from within the nightingale 
or seasons which entail 
one after the other 
wrapped over together 
autumn spring and summer 

and through the crevices of the doors 
sneak in the gray white winters 
and you then from within 
in such way again and again 
seem to disappear 

far but yet 
so near 
as if you are within me 
for I am you
Met dank aan Vir Kashmiri

Words written by a romantic poet Vir Kashmiri. A real pearl, picked from his Facebook page.

I was immediately struck by his loving words in which he describes his love for the goddess of nature. ‘Because I’m you’ immediately sounded like music to my ears and what else could I do than put Vir’s beautiful images to music and bring them out with Tak&Band. With his kind permission, of course.

Thanks Vir!

Pieter Tak

“Wanna Hold You” is in 2020 opgenomen door Pieter Tak met Tak&Band en verschenen op de diverse streamingdiensten.

Songtekst Wanna Hold You – Pieter Tak

I was always
 running scared of her
 dazzled by her eyes
 Now I’m holding
 all of my nerves from her
 just passing her by
 
Wanna talk with you
 Wanna walk with you
 Wanna show you my charms
 Wanna play for you
 Wanna sing to you
 Wanna hold you in my arms
 
There’s a strength in her
 That always glows ‘round her
 A given beauty from above
 A helping hand in need
 A friendly heart that beats
 Will she answer to my love
 
Wanna talk with you
 Wanna walk with you
 Wanna show you my charms
 Wanna play for you
 Wanna sing to you
 Wanna hold you in my arms
 
Someone is all around her
 Dark clouds come in my way
 Will she be gone tomorrow
 Will she be willing to stay
 There’s a song within me
 It’s gonna burst inside me
 When I see you around
 And when you smile at me
 It gives me hope, you see
 loose my feet from the ground
 
Wanna talk with you
 Wanna walk with you
 Wanna show you my charms
 Wanna play for you
 Wanna sing to you
 Wanna hold you in my arms

New Song: Today

Een brand new song gebaseerd op een oud gedicht van Nixon Waterman (1906). Ook al is de tekst dan al ruim een eeuw oud, de boodschap is tijdloos. Centrale vraag: “What have we done today?

Accordeon: Kees Schoone.

“Today” is in 2020 opgenomen door Pieter Tak met Tak&Band en verschenen op de diverse streamingdiensten.

Songtekst Today – N. Waterman

We shall do so much in the years to come,
 but what have we done today?
 We shall give our gold in a princely sum
 but what did we give today?
 
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
 We shall plant a hope in the place of fear,
 We shall speak the words of love and cheer
 but what did we speak today?
 What have we done today
 
We shall be so kind in the afterwhile,
 but what have we been today?
 We shall bring each lonely life a smile,
 but what have we brought today?
 We shall give to truth a grander birth,
 And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
 We shall feed the hungering souls of earth,
 but whom have we fed today?
 What have we done today
 
We shall reap such joys in the by and by,
 but what have we sown today?
 We shall build a mansion in the sky,
 but what have we built today?
 What have we done today
 
We shall do so much in the years to come,
 but what have we done today?
 We shall give our gold in a princely sum
 but what did we give today?
 ‘Tis sweet in idle dreams to bask,
 but here and now do we do our task?
 Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask,
 “What have we done today?”
 
What have we done today
