lyrics

A classical summerrain drops are falling from the sky I'm all alone nowhere - a truth - a lie it is as if tears go by impossible to see the mirror in the eye a crying face and so am I a silent world no one who cares as if they've died mere a dense fog the day has grown into a night summerrain seems to have cried feeling that all was not right loneliness knows not a side by side walking past it seems there is no resting-place a constant rain without the least shred of grace it is as if tears go by impossible to see the mirror in the eye a crying face and so am I © 1981 Peter van der Laan

she's sitting in the back of the classroom she smiles at you so it seems a pretty girl so soft and gentile but at night she haunts you in your dreams the bell she's leaving the classroom she smiles at you so it seems a young lad puts an arm around her and at night there are tears in your dreams © 2001 Peter Swart

lyrics

unexpected sorcery encircled by the glow of white magic an eternal retreat in the green valley of melodies a collection of powers in favour of harmony light beams forth from all sides warmth of love again a duanity as one a thought onto truth a new life with a silent wink the feeling of three dreams in impressionist sounds the Almighty spreads his arms the Maestro of Arts perfection in Maitreya's hands the resurrection of truth the beuty of the water-bearer is dawning © 1982 Peter van der Laan

Peter Swart Maassluis, The Netherlands

Heavily influenced by the symphonic rock music of the seventies, my compositions range from intimate pieces for the classical guitar ('Along flowing waters' on THE PATH) to robust themes ('Movement 5' on ROFLORÉ). Inspiration is found in dreams , paintings, literature ('Werther' on THE COUCH), fairy tales ('The Snow Queen' on SHADES) and science fiction (ROFLORÉ and ODERAN). ... more
