Songtekst one or two- PIETER TAK

One or two of the things
I like to say to you
in praise of all
is that you're the one
I owe this life of love

Someone to hold on to
Someone to laugh with
Someone to long for
Someone to dream with

Someone to believe in
Someone who takes care
Someone to build on
Someone that rare

One or two of the things
I like to say to you
in praise of all
is that you're the one
I owe this life of love

One or two of the things
I like to say to you
in praise of all
is that you're the one
I owe this life of love

One or two of the things
I like to say to you
in praise of all
is that you're the one
I owe this life of love

Someone to believe in
Someone who takes care
Someone to build on
Someone that rare

One or two of the things
I like to say to you
in praise of all
is that you're the one
I owe this life of love

One or two of the things
I like to say to you
in praise of all
is that you're the one
I owe this life of love

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?

Zomervriendschappen

Wij van TakandBand speelden onze muziek in Engeland, Ierland, Spanje en Portugal en mochten veel bijval en applaus ontvangen!

Van mei t/m juli ’25 was TakandBand in intieme bezetting (Pieter en Mirjam) op Europese vakantietournee door Engeland, Ierland, Spanje en Portugal.

Bestaande vriendschappen werden onderhouden én er werden veel nieuwe vriendschappen gesloten. Wat ook tot veel foto’s, filmpjes en mooie feedback leidde.

“Wonderful sunday energy”

“Music to unmind and relax”

“Come back soon!”

“A story told in music”

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

New song: A Safe Spot

De TakandBand april song van 2025: “A Safe Spot”

A Safe Spot is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, april 2025.

Songtekst a safe spot – PIETER TAK

I had a safe spot on the wall cabinet
That's where I hid when I did something bad
I had my safe spot in my room
Cause I left that little safe place from my mothers womb
Calling pictures laying wake at night
Under my Indian blanket shines a light
I had a safe spot upstairs in my room

I had a nice spot, fishing among the reeds
Where no one could find me, they expect so many deeds
I had a nice spot, reading about heroes 
And the goddess of love
I had a blind spot over fish and snakes
Locked'm up behind well-intentioned fake
I had a nice spot, fishing among the reeds

Bought an old six string, my head in clouds
No one home, watch me sing and shout
And the words came drifting to me, after a while
Endless playing, like dry wood catches fire
Music set flame to my feelings and desire
And the search over the years, refined my style

I have a soft spot and you touched me right there
Like ringing a bell or strumming my snares
I had a soft spot to heal 
And you made me feel
So I sang my whole song to you
Somebody else was listening too
I had a soft spot and you touched me right there

New song: Still Beautiful

De TakandBand maart song 2025: “Still Beautiful”

Still Beautiful is de nieuwste song van de TakandBand, maart 2025.

‘Like a cheerful ode to aging women’

Met een gastbijdrage van Bart Schuurmans op trombone.

Songtekst Still Beautiful – PIETER TAK

Oh, you’re still beautiful

Walking down the avenue
with the sunset in your eyes
Our summer was an endless joy
and autumn tells no lies

Oh, you’re still beautiful

When standing in the doorway
or walking in the rain
Your feet in the sand, baby
or waiting on a train

Oh, you’re still beautiful

Swaying like a silver birch
twinkling in the sun
this old man
just follows for fun

If you have nothing to do
in this swampy afternoon
Have a rosé wine, baby
and don’t leave here too soon

Oh, you’re still beautiful
Oh, you’re still beautiful...to me
