Cats appearing at night (lyrics + live performance video)

Cats appearing at night.
Walking quietly to the light.
But usually they don’t want to be seen,
although they are handsome and keen.
Cats disappearing from your sight.
Making you wonder if it’s just a lie,
because you don’t know where they are
and you don’t know if you’ll see them once more.
Searching and wondering.
But they are just hiding somewhere in the dark.
Cats slip away at night.
Oh, oh

Set me free (lyrics)

Release me now.
Take me to the clouds above.
Release me now.
Take me to the clouds above.
Release me now.
Release me now.
Set me free.

Unidentified and flying (lyrics)

Leave a reply

It’s unidentified and it’s flying and it’s hiding between the clouds.
A bright light between the clouds.
Like a fire fly between the clouds.
Everybody’s sleeping, but I’m awake.
Everybody’s dreaming, but I’m awake.
Everybody’s missing out, but I’m awake.
Everybody’s passing by, but I’m awake.
For heaven’s sake!
It’s unidentified and it’s standing still and it’s hiding between the clouds.

The video also includes a photo of an ufo that I saw right above the clouds of the Atlantic Ocean. I took this photo from the window of a KLM airplane on 22 July 2019. The plane flew from Paramaribo (Suriname) to Amsterdam (Netherlands).

I am loved (lyrics)

Leave a reply

Ah ah ah ah oh yeah.

I’m surrounded by clouds.
So I know what love is all about.
You must take a chance to go out.

I am loved.
This child is very loved.
I am loved.
This child is very loved.
I am loved.

I’m flying with angels.
That’s why you hear love bells.
Love is something that I never sell.

I am loved.
This child is very loved.
I am loved.
This child is very loved.
I am loved.

I like to make music.
That’s why I never feel sick.
Love starts when you crash the bricks.

I am loved.
This child is very loved.
I am loved.
This child is very loved.
I am loved.

So much love that I can touch,
as I’m sleeping on a couch.
But I don’t want to dream too much.

I am loved.
This child is very loved.
I am loved.
This child is very loved.
I am loved.

Ah ah ah ah….

Special encounter (lyrics)

Leave a reply

I am a spirit and this is my music.
My music!
Do you love my soul?
I sing my songs to you.
Do you love my soul?
I cry my emotions out to you.
You’re the only mortal who can hear me singing in the clouds.
I appear to you.
Do you mind if I land on you softly?

‘Light the light!’ (song) and a dream about an angel

Leave a reply

On 21 July 2013 I received a beautiful and
positive dream. In this dream I met a black
female angel. Skin tone: medium brown.
Hair: black, curly and long. Her physique:
slim. She has a bright smile, beautiful teeth,
sparkles in her brown eyes and she wears
an elegant long white evening dress. She
looks so grand and radiant while standing
behind a microphone in a small studio that
beams with light. I have seen her before in
dreams. Around summer 2012 she started
to appear in some dreams, but in this new
dream she sings for me for the first time
and it sounds magnificent. Her voice is
very beautiful and strong. I also love the
lyrics, because the song has an important
message for all human beings. It’s a ballad
in the English language. When I woke up,
I tried to remember her words and wrote
the lyrics right away. Almost a year later,
8 May 2014, I recorded this song with my
cell phone. Although I can’t sing it in the
same way as this woman, I would still like
to share my recording with people. I only
sing a snippet, because I can’t remember
the full song. But it doesn’t really matter,
because only the message matters.

Thank you, angel of inspirational songs.
You came from God to teach about love.
Now I will play the song that you sang for
me in a dream on 21 July 2013. You sang
it with orchestral music. Since I don’t have
an orchestra, I’d like to play my a cappella
version of this song. Even though I’m the
one who sings this song, it will always be
your song.

LIGHT THE LIGHT! (lyrics)

The two of us will fight for love.
The two of us will rise above.
Light the light inside your heart.
Light the light and share your part.
That’s where love starts.
It starts in your own heart.
Light the light!

‘Cancelling’ (lyrics + 2 recordings)

Leave a reply

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…

Recorded: 27 April 2018

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)

Leave a reply

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)

Leave a reply

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!
Tell me!
What’s inside of you?
Tell me!
Aha
What’s inside of you?

MOTHER GOOSE (lyrics)

Leave a reply

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.
