Songtekst Fool – pieter tak

I’ve been your lover, your best friend
howling to the moon, that’s where I stand
Now I need some comfort, I need a hand
How came I so close, close to the end
Yeah...

I’ve soaked my grief in whiskey, my pain in too much beer
All of the sudden, I couldn’t talk or hear
My lover is angry, my friend in tears
I dwell through the streets, they want me out of here
Yeah...

I felt like a drunkard, but I was just a fool
I played the wrong cards, tried to be cool
Now I need a lover, I need friend
Cause I’m so close, close to the end

I have to listen, you’re my last stand
there’s work to be done, which band needs a hand
I should provide some comfort and get on with my friends
I was a fool, close to the end
I was a fool
I was a fool

There’s Got To Be You is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, januari 2026.

Een lied over een verloren liefde, een verloren droom. Geschreven naar een gedicht van Vir Kashmiri, geïllustreerd met foto’s van de dichter.

A song about a lost love, a lost dream. Based on a poem by Vir Kashmiri, illustrated with the poet’s own photographs.

Songtekst There’s Got To Be You – Vir Kashmiri & pieter tak

You and I meet
Whenever I'm out
And I look at sky
See her touch the earth
Not far from where I am
As if I stretched my hand
I could literally touch you
Is this an illusion
A mirage may be

As they tell me all the time
That my friend
The earth and sky
Do not meet there
Where you see
Or for that matter anywhere
But I must keep looking
Beautiful as you are
Beautiful as you are

For I know...I know for sure
Love is not an illusion
Nor the stars...nor stars and the moon
A kindling heart of mine

You and I meet
Whenever I’m out
The cool dancing breeze
Or the ever burning sun
The rain rivers and ocean
If they are all around
Chatter and chirp of bird
There's got to be you
There's got to be you too

New song: Eyes On The Road

De TakandBand december song van 2025: “Eyes On The Road”

Eyes On The Road is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, december 2025.

Songtekst Eyes On The Road – pieter tak

Eyes on the road, though a heavy load
Eyes on the road, though a heavy load
Eyes on the road, though a heavy load
Eyes on the road, though a heavy load

Eyes on the road
though a heavy load
presses on my mind
You know: a good woman
is hard to find

A white line track
and the mirror is black
it flashes in my eyes
Rolling away
from corny lies

Island in the sky
Island in the sky

Back up lane
against the grain
trouble-shooting
every day
Give me good reasons
why I should stay

Back to you
a lot of issues too
Do I have a lot to loose
roaming my life
in truckers blues

Island in the sky
Island in the sky
Island in the sky
 
Rolling away
leaving all the mess
There you are
in a splendid dress
All sorrows are fading
and the sun shines
behind you

Shall I take some time
and ride in line
to give it another shot
But hearing your sweet voice
it differs a lot

Shall I give up the road
and skip this load
try a job of another kind
A good woman
is hard to find

My island in the sky
Island in the sky
Island in the sky

Eyes on the road, though a heavy load
Eyes on the road, though a heavy load
Eyes on the road, though a heavy load
Eyes on the road, though a heavy load
Eyes on the road, though a heavy load
Eyes on the road, though a heavy load

Eyes on the road
Eyes on the road
Eyes on the road
Eyes on the road

Eyes on the road
Eyes on the road

New song: Time

De TakandBand november song van 2025: “Time”

Time is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, november 2025.

Met op sopraansax: Kees van Veldhuizen.

Songtekst Time – PIETER TAK

Time was on my side, boys
on my side, sons, running wide
Time was like a river
gushing the banks, hitting the side
Time was without borders
it flies, my daughters, it never stops
Time was without notion
in every ocean, in all its drops

I have no time to hang around now
There is no time to flee
Will there be time to say farewell
no time to disagree

I know that there is inside me
a place where time is hanging out
where memories wait quietly
they know what’t’s all about

And sure they come in time to light
when rest takes place in just a sigh
Where time in shades is fading out
where time is running dry
my time is running dry
my time is running dry

Precious time is like precious luck
hold it close, enjoy it to be
Like children in their growth
love them all or both, time sets us free

I have no time to hang around now
There is no time to flee
Will there be time to say farewell
no time to disagree

I know that there is inside me
a place where time is hanging out
where memories wait quietly
they know what’t’s all about

And sure they come in time to light
when rest takes place in just a sigh
Where time in shades is fading out
where time is running dry
my time is running dry
my time is running dry
my time is running dry
my time is running

Songtekst one or two- PIETER TAK

One or two of the things
I like to say to you

Someone to dream with

Someone who takes care
Someone to build on
Someone that rare

New song: Celia

De TakandBand september song van 2025: “Celia”

Celia is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, september 2025.

Songtekst Celia- PIETER TAK

Knowing Celia all my days
from the beginning she stepped on my ways
There she sat on the chair in pink
her pony-tail swept my arty ink

Celia came from the mines in the south
the words came with a sigh from her mouth
Her dad had a bad cough and he spoilt her
she was a coalminers daughter

So we grew up in that sticky old town
her iron-nailed boots raised a frown
She played the stomp-bass at the summer fair
when her daddy died she blackened her hair

Celia, oh Celia
The coalminers daughter, what a girl
Where have you been, my Celia
Swallowed by the world

Once I thought I saw her
behind a stroller in leopard fur
Once a familiar scream in the crowd
But someone was just dreaming out loud

Celia, oh Celia
The coalminers daughter, what a girl
Where have you been, my Celia
Swallowed by the world

There she was on the telly news
playing her scorching deep river blues
It was if the gods had brought her
The coalminers grand daughter

Celia, oh Celia
The coalminers daughter, what a girl
Where have you been, my Celia
Swallowed by the world

New song: Land

De TakandBand augustus song van 2025: “Land”

Land is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, augustus 2025.

Is het van jou, van ons?

Songtekst land – PIETER TAK

I love the land where I was born
I love the ancient cities and the sea
Can it be a home for many more
As it doesn't belong to me

I don't mind about your skin and trade
My heart will just be open to you
There is enough to do for honest hands
If you can work an enjoy it too

I just need a spot for my own, you know
To ease my mind and play a tune
Please take care of the land where I was born
And for the children there must be plenty of room
And for the children there must be plenty of room

If you live in my native land
Protect it from polluting and war
And if someone reaches out a hand
Why would you show him the door

Don't talk in terms of dark and danger
Tell me about prosper and sprout
Why can't we have a future together
Just feel the benefit of the doubt
Just feel the benefit of the doubt

I love the land where I was born
I love our history when it's written true
Can it be a home for so much more
Or does it belong to you?

New song: Can’t Sleep

De TakandBand juli song van 2025: “Can’t Sleep”

Can’t Sleep is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, juli 2025.

Voor lange warme zomernachten: ‘My legs are like clutching bones in a basket’. Nog met Peter den Otter(fluit) en Ben Joshua Antiri(drums).

Songtekst Can’t Sleep – PIETER TAK

I can’t sleep

I long for sleep but the wind pulls at the panes
an empty noise twists inside
Thoughts stretch out for no reason
they clasp for air, I’m yawning wide

My hands ‘re tapping, zapping all over
I’m way beyond counting sheep
I simply couldn’t read any longer
burning eyes, I want to sleep

I want to sleep
I want to sleep
I want to sleep
I want to sleep
Help won’t help
I want to sleep

Feather pillows feel like stone and gravel
many a storm tugs under the sheets
I rub my forehead, keep tumbling over
half past four and the Magpie shrieks

I want to sleep, I want to sleep
I want to sleep, I want to sleep
Help won’t help, I want to sleep

My legs are like clutching bones in a basket
out of every corner sorrows creep
My shirt sticks but my feet stay cold
toss that blanket, I want to sleep

I want to sleep, I want to sleep
I want to sleep, I want to sleep
Help won’t help, I want to sleep

I want to sleep, I want to sleep
I want to sleep, I want to sleep
Help won’t help, I want to sleep

I can’t sleep
Please………

New song: Slow River

De TakandBand juni song van 2025: “Slow River”

Slow River is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, juni 2025.

There is a slow river flowing through our city that is associated with many memories from former school days…

Songtekst Slow River – PIETER TAK

O, slow river, gathering water
patiently, winding through my life
You’ve been waiting, till the fall came
when I happened to pass you by

And you murmur, all forgotten rhymes
you keep so long inside,
While I wandered, wandered for years
I wandered by

O, green river, summer water
you remind me of jumping your bridge

Rowing up your stream, making the waterfowl so shy, catching your biggest fish,
And you murmur, all forgotten rhymes
you keep so long inside,
While I wandered, wandered for years
I wandered by

O, white river, the harshest winter
we skated almost around the town

I met friends there and learned to kiss the girls
youth is just slippery ground
And you murmur, all forgotten rhymes
you keep so long inside,
While I wandered, wandered for years
I wandered by

O, black river, moving surface
the snow melted and thaw broke the ice

Between the spring leaves, we young boys saw that you were able to take that lost girl’s life

And you murmur, all forgotten rhymes
you keep so long inside,
While I wandered, wandered for years
I wandered by....I wandered by....

I still wander by……

New song: South Again

De TakandBand mei song van 2025: “South Again”

South Again is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, mei 2025.

Met uiteraard ook Marn van Rhee op percussie en gastmuzikant Erik Neve op sax.

Songtekst south again – PIETER TAK

I know where the sun shines
rainy days disappear
a breeze out of sea
whispers to me
your eyes start twinkling
by words like Spain
we’re heading south 
again

We travel on silver paths
down dirty roads
pretending that life is fair
you know where it goes
so much to remember
not much to renew
safe all these
miracles for me and you

Got lost in agendas
or schedules of trains
Got lost in the morning papers
and constant pouring rain

I know where the sun shines
rainy days disappear
a breeze out of sea
whispers to me
your eyes start twinkling
by words like Spain
we’re heading south
again

we’re heading south
again
