Emmanuel 03:56
EMMANUEL Today I curse the day that I was born. I was born three days ago and now my life is lost and torn. How come it's always me that pays the cost, and that you never give me nothing to replace the thing I've lost? Lord, can you love me, like a woman does? Today declare my name Israël. With you I fought, and how I fell! Today declare my name Israël. Now where are you, Emmanuel? When I teach my children how to love, all i have to offer, is to teach them how to suffer. And when the Good Son died upon a cross, I hope with all my heart, that it ripped your soul apart. If only you could love me like a woman does. Today declare my name Israël. With you I fought, and how I fell. Today declare my name Israël. Now where are you Emmanuel? Today declare my name Israël. If it ain't you, then who the hell? Today declare my name Israël. Now where are you, Emmanuel? Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel. With you I fought, and how I fell.

This is how we move through life C'mon, be strong. You've got to give it all you've got now C'mon, move on. This aint no place to stop now. C'mon, hang on. Rather die in the darkness than sleep in the light. 'Cause this is how we move through life. There's a bloodred moon, like a fire in the sky. Hear the wolves howlin', the cities burning. The wind is turning, and nothing is right. And all that is sacred is hidden from sight. There might not be a message, still everything is telling you to: C'mon...etc.

Sleep in heavenly peace Silent child, giver of life. All has gone and all have died. Virgin, prostitute, mother and wife. Caring and nurturing, tender and wild. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace Silent child, in a little while all will be well and all will be right. For all you suffered I covered the cost. All has been counted and nothing is lost. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.

Lose your life (See you in December?) I want to see you in December, naked and humble out in the snow. I want to love you hard and tender, your body so lively, your temperature low. I want you when you die and leave me in great pain. I want you in great joy, to see you give birth. I want what you lose and I want what you gain. I want you younger than legal and old as the earth. Oh, and you know that I will hurt you, I can see it in your eyes. Oh, I can see you want to lose your life. Oh, you know exactly what I mean, I can see it in your eyes. Oh, I can see you want to lose your life. I want to see you in December, naked and humble, out in the cold. I want to love you so hard and so tender, your body so lively, yet cold like a corpse.

about

'See you in December?' Vier tracks met troostmuziek voor donkere dagen. Ik hoop dat je ervan geniet.

De gehele opbrengst van dit 4-track album is bedoeld voor stichting Newbornlife (Newbornlife.nl), een initiatief van enkele vrouwen in Nederland die iets willen doen voor vrouwen in Afrika, die lijden aan de aandoening VVF. Doordat de bevalling van hun kind niet goed verliep, ontstond een inwendige beschadiging, waardoor ze voortdurend urine verliezen. Als gevolg daarvan worden deze vrouwen uitgestoten door de omgeving en de Afrikaanse maatschappij. Ze horen er niet meer bij.

Het doel is dus dat dit plaatje zoveel mogelijk geld gaat opbrengen om deze vrouwen te helpen. Help je mee?

Als je het album download voor 26 december wordt je betaling verdubbeld door een gulle sponsor van stichting Newbornlife.

Veel dank gaat hier uit naar Jacob Lont met wie ik in november in Antwerpen dit werkstuk opnam. Zijn bijdrage bestond uit muzikale ideeën, de hele technische kant van het opnemen, backingvocals en het bespelen van gitaar, bas, toetsen, percussie en mandola. Jacob je bent een held!
Ook gaat mijn dank uit naar iedereen die heeft meegedaan aan de albumcover-wedstrijd. En natuurlijk naar Chris die het winnende ontwerp inleverde!
