Songtekst a little song – Pieter Tak
I saw a girl at the traffic light she looked really good to see but when we reached the other side she was still walking next to me
I simply could not believe that she didn't suddenly say that I was just dreaming and she had to go her way heading for another life to stay where the sun always shines and no sorrow to explain where no cold and heartless world could reign where the laughter fills your glass where the morning shivers pass
I saw a girl at the traffic light she looked real fine to see and when we reached the other side she was still oh yes, she was still next to me

Another view on camper groups…Enjoy the coming summer !🪕
Songtekst We’re Doing Fine – Pieter Tak
We travel in a camper of half a million or a million, what the heck I don't care how many horses it has, or what comes out of the back But my wife puts on her shades letting out her pets I hear her disappointment, when she's swearing or forgets That her new Toledo pumps are getting wet
I won't miss my daily sports game on the wifi tele set One outside for a warm evening and 1 in a panel above our beds We're registered with 50 motorhomes heading for the sea We have to arrive in Lissabon, tomorrow after tea So I won't miss my daily program, you see
There is a schedule in the folder to visit all the sights How many bars we pass depends on the patient of the guides If she is sweet we manage to follow for an hour or two But the girls want to shop or have their things to do I get sore feet and my pals are thirsty too
At five there is a drink in the circle and some hippies sing a song We, near the booze, talk right through it, cause don't get me wrong Health is a more important issue in the life of the older man So we discuss our ailments as loud as we can Our visit to the next surgery is our secret plan
The second item is the grandchildren, we now have four...no five Jenny, our daughter gave birth last month, so we have to return alive But what's for dinner, you say? Trout again? Bring me my wine The wife doesn't want to cook any more, for the rest she's still mine We take our pills, forget our tax,
We're doing fine We're doing fine...

‘The Ballad of an Evil Woman’…racisme bestaat nog altijd…
Songtekst The Ballad of an Evil Woman – Pieter Tak
I was told about an evil woman I was told she was an evil woman Born by the devil with no heart
Her beauty was like a killing knife Her body was more luscious than life Piercing your eyes from the start
She gave every man a kick in the loins She gave the women the poison in the heart But no one ever got his part
I was told about an evil woman I was told she was an evil woman Born by the devil with no heart I was told about an evil woman I was told she was an evil woman Born by the devil with no heart
There was a story of a local lad There was a story of a farmer’s brat Who was found with a bullet hole in his head
No one knew where the bullet came from No one knew where the bullet went But blaming that woman wasn't that hard
Did you hear what that woman replied Did you hear what the woman said to the sheriff He came on to me naked and forced me into bed
I was told about an evil woman
Now the judge told the evil woman Now he judged that evil woman She had to be guilty because of a gun and Oh she was black
The people went to the hanging party They all went to the hanging party To separate the good from the bad
The men stood in line for her naked corps They all stood in line for her luscious corps Cause the priest said: that's her way to the lord
I was told about an evil woman I was told she was an evil woman But the main reason was she was black I was told about an evil woman I was told she was an evil black woman And that why she was hanged by the neck

De maart song van 2024: Here I Am…nieuwste song van de TakandBand!
De song Here I Am is ontstaan vanuit een gedicht van Vir Kasjmiri.
Songtekst Here I Am – Pieter Tak
Paint the pain with wet brush Dripping it on canvas in a flush Soul tattered in to ragged rags Walks with heavy loaded bags Loneliness has its arms spread Come a cry again in air is shed
A nightingale perched in a tree Call for a caged love to be free Dance of life in magical charm And melody in heart Here i am Here I am
Strip the clay from the bone Till the rafters creak and groan Empty cases, hollow sound Hidden were no spell is bound Caught in a cold and drafty hole Come for a grieved and battered soul
A nightingale perched in a tree Call for a caged love to be free Dance of life in magical charm And melody in heart Here i am Here i am
And these words are written Written in a cry for life These words are written Written in a cry
A nightingale perched in a tree Call for a caged love to be free Dance of life in magical charm And melody in heart Here i am Here i am

Where the Lucifers of this world scrape fire Claiming the luck next doors There is always a stone to lift and more Or coming back, they are coming back They are coming back for war
Where ancient history went wrong or was it recently one day Oh, keep looking in each other’s eyes Stay connected, please, stay connected On speaking terms in ev’ry way
Sadness fuels anger, but anger clears no sky And revenge the oldest answer to the question why I live my life in peace, till the brutal day I die Brother be brave enough to look him in the eye

Songtekst Hear The Silence – Pieter Tak
Oh, hear the silence just between my lips and coming words Cause my opinion often needs a second thought or third Clear the silence in between the drop and certain rain Between the shiver and the shock The first attempt, the final crash, in between lightning and pain
Enlarge the silence in between idea and final form Cause in fertile silences some better ideas are born Moments of stillness in life and work, to cherish every day Call it inspiration Call it breath or love from above, don't let it slip away
Notice silence in the war, when fighting is stuck in the mud Winter's silence prevail, when thoughts will beat the blood If the moments in between will help to spread relief The brave shall gain their freedom Stones to build, songs to sing, all between hope and grief
Hear the silence just between the beating of the heart As if nature loads a pulse for another start Our history of explorers, giving every breath Or were we just intruders Who spoiled the soil, grazed the earth, spreading certain death
I've heard them say, my fellow men, we committed crime And in the deafening silence, the next pulse comes in time Between the take off and the blast, there is lots of noise to hear But between the echoes, Just between, right in between, we could disappear
Oh, let there be some silence, for grace or for mourn And hope that tides are turning and the act to change is born Between the impulse of beginning and the ending of this song
I know that I'm just failing, failing to keep the silence Failing to hold the silence..., the silence where I belong

‘Real friendship never dies!’
Dank aan Hans de Vos die bereid was om met de ‘fretless bass’ deze song te ondersteunen. Koert Hommel bespeelde de piano en Kees van der Linden verzorgde de percussie.
Songtekst My Friend – Pieter Tak
I met my friend in a dream last night
he was driving a yellow car
He brought me on a moonbeam
a vintage Everly Star
He smiled: Don't drive steep roads, my friend
and looked me in the eye
He touched my arm and with a blink
It's not your time to die
Then he stepped into his yellow beam
and raised his hand, goodbye
He circled the room so very fast
and flashed into the sky
Then he stepped into his yellow beam
and raised his hand, goodbye
He circled the room so very fast
and flashed into the sky
I met my friend in a dream last night
he was driving a yellow car
He brought me on a moonbeam
a vintage Everly Star...
pieter over ‘my friend’
Deze song ontstond uit een droom waarin vriend Ed Ottevanger langskwam. Ed en ik deelden in de jaren ’70/’80 onze interesses en zeker onze liefde voor muziek.
Met ons bandje ‘Attic’ gingen we optreden en Hans de Vos speelde basgitaar. We wilden muziek van eigen hand brengen en er zouden nog vele formaties volgen onder die naam.
Tijdens ons werkzame leven verwaterde stilaan het contact om na jaren weer op te bloeien. Verdrietig genoeg eindigde de levensweg van Ed al in november 2019.

Songtekst Dispute About Love – Pieter Tak
When you're in love it's like tickling, giggling out and within
A kind of love that's shivering all over your skin
Love sucks all air out of the room
Love lights desire. Deal with the fire.
A kind of love that has no limit, it takes no measure
That love means an overload of derailing pressure
Love sweeps emotions with an emotional broom
Love lights desire. Deal with the fire.
Real love is on a sharp point at a place in your heart
you cannot reach it, or scratch it to a start
Love is like falling, falling apart
Love lights desire. Deal with the fire.
Love lies on the tip of your tongue, but it fails pronouncing
Love lies on the edge of happiness and it's really bouncing
Your kind of love is like stirring up spume
Love lights desire. Deal with the fire.
Real love is on a sharp point at a place in your heart
you cannot reach it, or scratch it to a start
Love is like falling, falling apart
Love lights desire. Deal with the fire.

Songtekst the trumpet man – Pieter Tak
There is a hidden rhythm
when he scatters clear notes
Some of them are so pretty
while others carry the loads
Playing for his bread and so
gathering the dimes
Small talk and another walk
to the best place in town
In a park of Madrid, there is the trumpet man
he plays so cool, all what he can
The sun is low and the streets are on fire
between a longing for home and the sound of desire
He amuses every listener
let's the children dance
and late in the evening
there's always a tune for romance
But lately his mind is wandering
his lips feel numb and dry
longing for his Cuban roots
his notes seem to fly
In a park of Madrid
he plays so cool, all what he can
The sun is low and the streets are on fire
between a longing for home and the sound of desire
Trumpet man fly, oh trumpet man fly
from a park of Madrid to a Cuba in the sky
In a park of Madrid, there is the trumpet man
he plays so cool, all what he can
