The Magic of Winter

The Magic of Winter is everywhere
I hear and see it all around
I’d like to be in that northern spirit
with warm clothes so you don’t feel the cold breeze
I’d like to be in that spirit all day, whole winter
with an open fire, candle lights,
ice crystals, sparkling stars,
magical things in another world
where anything could happen
friends and family gather all aroud
a very fine meal, or gourmet if you want
laughter and singing around the fireplace
Short chilly freezing days, but I stay up late
sitting on the couch with a blanket
watching movies, playing games
drinking hot chocolate, baking cakes
and I feel The Magic of Winter in many ways

Klein Geluk
02:20
|

Geluk met de kleine dingen om je heen
serene stilte, kalmte
Een blik op de beestjes waar je zoveel van houdt
mmmmmm
Het gebrek aan de dingen die er niet toe doen
Een kleine aanraking, omhelzing, herinnering
Alles wat je doet of ziet is niet waardevoller
dan de dingen die er niet zijn of waarvan je dacht dat ze er niet waren
mmmmmm
De geuren van een warme lentedag
Een lief gezichtje, mooie kleuren,
schattigheid in meervoud
Oeh-----
Happiness in silence everywhere around you
and still the best memories of everything
Everything that was, but is not,
not there yet, but in progress
Alles wat je doet of ziet is niet waardevoller
dan de dingen die er niet zijn of waarvan je dacht dat ze er niet waren
mmmmmm

Only a Dream
02:35

Maybe you were only a dream
a dream I hold on to
I don’t know if you are real
you have to tell me now
what did I miss, what did i do wrong?
Losing my mind everytime
everytime I think it’s gone
It’s weird and I am torn
torn apart
Maybe it’s not the time
the time to tell you now
Not the place and not in line
what does it mean for us?
Losing my mind everytime
everytime I think it’s gone
It’s weird and I am torn
torn apart
The stars above and around
around us disappear
where are they now?
Are they gone or did they fall?
Fall into the great black hole
swallowed everything I know
Losing my mind everytime
everytime I think it’s gone
It’s weird and I am torn
torn apart

Ergens in de Verte
02:04
|

Soms hoef ik niets te zeggen, hoef jij niets te doen
Weet je gewoon wat ik denk, wat ik bedoel
Soms kijk je me aan en zie ik wat je denkt,
maar er is een andere wereld, een andere wereld voor ons
Ergens in de verte, hier ver vandaan
Ik weet ook niet waar het is, maar eens zullen we daar zijn
geen zorgen en geen twijfel, warmte om ons heen
Het duurt misschien nog even, wat langer dan je dacht
Kan dichtbij te dicht zijn en ver weg te ver?
Laten we dan ergens tussen in zijn en daar blijven midden in

Summer Days
01:35
|
|||
|
Sittining on the couch in the evening sun
Oh summer days that I remember
I hear the frogs and crickets
and see a panoramic view with cows
Oh summer days I remember
Walking and singing and dreaming in the morning sun
Oh the summer days I remember
I hear a soft breeze whisper of the wind
The cats in the garden, on the barn, up on the chairs
Oh summer days that will come
Forests nearby with silence, peace, a quiet place
Oh summer days that will come
Friends staying over in a house with a lot of space
Oh summer days that will come
Oh summer days that will be near

Someone Who Gets Me
02:12

I never knew someone like you
who gets me
feels me
just the right way
I never knew someone like you
who feeds me
sees me
in every single way
What did I need more?
You love and adore me
All I ever wanted is you
I never knew it til now
never knew it til now
I never knew someone like you

Summer Cloudy Day
02:34

It was a summer day in June
And I remember everything
I was walking through the mountains
somewhere in between
And everything was everywhere
where it should be
Should be
It’s a summer cloudy day
and I wanna stay in bed
It’s not that I won’t be okay
but it’s eveywhere the same
I wanna be somewhere else
somewhere where the sun shines
somewhere where the sun shines every day
every day
It was a hot day in July
The sun was shining a blue, blue sky
I was swimming in the sea
and walked through foreign places
And everything was everywhere
where it should be
Should be
It’s a summer cloudy day
and I wanna stay in bed
It’s not that I won’t be okay
but it’s eveywhere the same
I wanna be somewhere else
somewhere where the sun shines
somewhere where the sun shines every day
every day
It was an August eve at nine
I heard crickets, birds and smelled some thyme
There was no one else but you
a fresh breeze, a postcard view
And everything was everywhere
where it should be
Should be
It’s a summer cloudy day
and I wanna stay in bed
It’s not that I won’t be okay
but it’s eveywhere the same
I wanna be somewhere else
somewhere where the sun shines
somewhere where the sun shines every day
every day

Another World
02:07

People in and under water
what if Atlantis still exists?
dwarfs and elves no longer hiding
angels flying in the sky
What would we do in a world like ours
but with magic in between and all around?
What would we do?
Unicorns, sfinx and sirens
wandering across the lands
serpents, firedragons, monsters
mythical beasts eveywhere
What would we do in a world like ours
but with magic in between and all around?
What would we do?
Sometimes it’s almost touchable
as if they never left
with a window to a parallel universe
an alternate reality
What would we do in a world like ours
but with magic in between and all around?
What would we do?

Een vliegtuig in je voortuin en koeien voor een flat
Honingbordjes op het pad en vuurkorven te koop
En bomen.....................
Een trein raast door het weiland en mensen kijken op
Een skyline in de leegte doemt dan ineens op
En de wind waait overal...........
Een auto in het gras en een oeros op je pad
Een groene snelweg dat is toch ook wel wat
En bomen.......
En de wind waait overal
Onder de rook van de stad en de geur van het land wonen wij
Fietsend als in Frankrijk, maar dan heel dichtbij
De Nederlandse polder nabij
En bomen
En de wind waait overal

I Know Where My Mind Is
02:58
|
|||
|
Lying in my bed
Watching all the stars
looking back in time
It made me think of you and I
wonder what it could have been
I don’t know where my mind was back then
And I hope it will solve
but don’t know how and when
Thunder and lightning all over the place
Everywhere I look
See all the lights, hear all the noise
Left the past behind, far behind
I don’t know where my mind was back then
And I hope it will solve
but don’t know how and when
And I dreamt of all the things that I could have done before,
before your time
I know where my mind is today
and I wish I was’nt falling further away

Yvet van der Tuin Berkel En Rodenrijs, Netherlands
I grew up in a musical family between folk and cabaret and I was inspired by artists such as Tori Amos and Agnes Obel. I write both English and Dutch songs, sometimes quite literal, sometimes hard to understand, sometimes wordless, but always poetic!
