about

You have got to keep on focusing on the things you want to achieve in life and feel good about the ways you are going to achieve them together with your loved ones.

lyrics

Hold the line

Now these times they are changing.
And where does it go?
Nobody can tell us where the wind blows.
And no one will ever know.
All that I m asking now at this moment we part.
If we go out of this world now let us talk straight from the heart.

Hold the line, hold the line.
If we go out of this world, 
at least our harts will be fine.

Too many roads travelled.
And lessons we’ve learned.
Now we got some weight in our suitcase.
This knowledge we’ve earned.
But if there is nothing out there.
And no one returns
Now lets get rid of this luggage
That might as well be burned

Hold the line, hold the line.
If we go out of this world, 
at least our harts will be fine.

So look straight in my eyes now.
And just let us be.
These two tiny creatures.
The world ever will see.
And if life is a wonder
Please wonder with me
Because this life and love is as straight as you and I can be

Hold the line, hold the line.
If we go out of this world, 
at least our harts will be fine.

Hold the line and hold me tight.
There are so many fears around us.
That I need you by my side.
Hold the line and hold me tight.
There are so many fears around us.
That I need you here... tonight.

Dieter van der Westen Amsterdam, Netherlands

The new album Honesty of the hopeful is an ode to everyone who makes the best of life in an honest way and does not give up. The melodies on Honesty of the Hopeful are simple and hook into the themes of the lyrics, sometimes energetic and enthusiastic, sometimes tragic and compelling.
Americana, Folk, Alt-Country with a bit of Soul. ... more
