lyrics

A restless soul on a fishing trip
His colors nailed to the mast
The strong wind made him lose his grip
His directions didn't last

His trawler scaling the big black sea
All maps untouched in the berth
Fishing for creatures that one might agree
Would be better left undisturbed

His ropes and nets all tangled
He was lost in his own triangle

Crude oil was flattening the waves
The storm had left his city stunned
The Big Easy regaining its ways
As he was sailing into the sun

He fled port after blowing a fuse
For some off-shore contemplation
And the fisherman's blues

about

Diftong The Netherlands

Welcome to Diftong’s heartfelt songs!

In 2022, after six albums with poetic songs on the edges of rock, country and folk, I decided the time was right to start something completely different: writing songs in Dutch. These Dutch songs will be released as single tracks and are accompanied by a blog (BOSGOD).

I sure hope that you enjoy my music and lyrics. Thanks for listening!
