there's no formula for finding yourself! ik heb het al altijd een heerlijk nummer gevonden, om naar te luisteren, of om het te spelen op het mooiste instrument ter wereld: de klarinet!
hotel de flandres 1 en amid the breakers vind ik echt héél mooie songs! Prachtig, ik voel de zee in mijn lijf als ik dit hoor voor een of andere reden. Prachtig!
