All the sounds that the old river makes and you might never hear.
Me on a cruise ship in Egypt, sailing from Luxor to Aswan and back.
The Nile makes me want to sing (short version one)

The Nile makes me want to sing (my vacation in Egypt)
All the sounds that the old river makes and you might never hear.
Me on a cruise ship sailing from Luxor to Aswan and back.
‘Cancelling’ (lyrics + 2 recordings)
Many times you’ve lied.
You’ve made people cry.
You don’t sacrifice.
You know that they died…
Because of you
I will start cancelling you.
Because of you
Don’t you see? Leave this society!
You feel so fabulous.
You want us to love you.
So that we’ll blindly follow.
Heroes only bring terror.
Because of you
I will start cancelling you.
Because of you
Don’t you see? Leave this society!
I’ve seen who you are.
I’ve seen how scared you are.
You are only big when you’ve got people who love you.
I will start cancelling you.
I will start…

I hope that dictatorial fascist regimes, genocidal murderers who pretend to be heroes and their powerful financial institutions and corporations, guilty of corruption and exploitation for centuries, will be cancelled by people worldwide.
I wrote this song in late 1993 / early 1994 when I was 15 years old. Here’s another recording of this song on 24 December 2014. I was 36. Watch the video below!
LET’S GIVE ALL WE HAVE (live performance video)
I wrote this song in August 1994 when I was 15 years old.
The performance in the video was filmed on 9 April 2018 (39 years old now! OMG! Time goes too fast!).
I guess I felt the need to revisit my teen years and remember the dreams I had back then.
Some dreams, some wishes, some feelings are timeless, no matter how old we become.
By the way, I’m not an experienced xylophone player, so I keep the composition simple. I’m not that talented.
Audio quality is not great either, but this recording is all I have right now.
Love,
Ryan
Let’s give all we have (lyrics + audio)
I’m tired of sharing fun with myself.
It’s never been my wish, like today.
I’ve always been happy, as you see.
It could have been better together.
And I know that’s the way you think too.
Together we’ll take it much further.
Let’s give all we have.
What’s inside of you?
Whatever it is,
I’m gonna treat you right.
Tell me why you need me as a friend.
Know the reason yourself why it’s me.
‘Cause whatever we have, has value.
Don’t break down the road in front of us.
And I know that’s the way you think too.
Together we’ll take it much further.
Let’s give all we have.
What’s inside of you?
Whatever it is,
I’m gonna treat you right.
But life is not a fairy tale.
Try to survive my bad moods.
Don’t run away too.
And I know that’s the way you think too.
Together we’ll take it much further.
Let’s give all we have.
What’s inside of you?
Whatever it is,
I’m gonna treat you right.
Let’s give all we have.
What’s inside of you?
Whatever it is,
I’m gonna treat you right.
Let’s give all we have!
Tell me!
What’s inside of you?
Tell me!
Aha
What’s inside of you?

MOTHER GOOSE (song performance)
I wrote this song and filmed this on 31 December 2016.
The background noise was caused by fireworks in the streets.
MOTHER GOOSE (lyrics)
Mother goose, all little ducks belong with you.
Mother goose, nobody takes care the way you do.
All little ducks feel safe with you.
Teach your little babies to cross the street, is what you do.
Teach your little babies to rise to the sky, is what you do, mother goose.
And when there’s danger, you’ll protect them with your life.
Just like an angel you won’t hesitate to fight.
Mother goose, your love is the purest of all that’s true.
Mother goose, mother goose.
And when there’s danger, you’ll protect them with your life.

ANIMALS WILL SURVIVE MANKIND (lyrics)
I can feel what you’re thinking.
You don’t have to say anything.
You think I’m just a dumb animal.
Deprived of my right to be a free animal.
How I’ve prayed for a miracle.
Take a good look at me before you leave.
I’m the artwork that you refused to see.
Imprisoned in a circus, imprisoned in a zoo where you look at me,
but you’ve never wanted to know me.
You don’t see me the way Faya Lobi sees me.
You don’t love me the way Faya Lobi loves me.
You don’t carry me the way Faya Lobi carries me…..
….. to see the light.
I’ve always had to live with the scars you gave me.
But someday I’ll be beautiful and free.
I know Faya Lobi is kind,
because I know I will survive mankind.
We will overcome the humankind.
And I will still be singing my song.

BUSBUSI! SAFSAFRI! (song in Surinamese language)
A Tigri e Libi ini a Sranan Busbusi
English title: The Jaguar Lives in the Wilderness of Suriname.
The first part of the video plays a song in Sranan Tongo language. Sranan Tongo is the native language of my parents from Suriname, but I cannot speak this language. That’s why I mispronounce many words in this song. It’s so funny.
In the second part of the video I talk about protecting jaguars in the Amazon rainforest. The documentary part shows real jaguars in a zoo in the Netherlands.
