Here is my collaboration with Marije and Alex Klages on
Fawm.Org. When I saw her lyric I was immediately drawn into the story and feeling inspired. It took me a while though to come up with the music. Thank you Marije for trusting me to create music to your beautiful lyric!

I’m done with ‘everyone is special’
I’m done with ‘everyone is great’
Some are preaching promising lies
I’m only fearing anger and hate
There must be a new way
I’ve been trying to see
I wanted to be more than this
But for now I’m mediocre me
Wishing I’d be the promised one
I just never noticed a sign
It’s been killing me for some years
Now I think I’m doing fine
There must be a new way
I’ve been trying to see
I wanted to be more than this
But for now I’m mediocre me
Told me it will come with the years
I’ve heard that oh so long ago
But today it’s today that counts
And I think I’m giving it a go
There must be a new way
I’ve been trying to see
I want to be more than this
But for now I’m mediocre me
