专辑简介

Inspired by the greats, the likes of Billy Joel, Paul Simon or Al Stewart, JAAP will certainly keep you entertained for the duration of this great new album "What I'm here for". With such songs as "How much more" he takes the words right out of our mouths if you have ever watched the daily news. "The walls" inspired by the very current events in Gaza. "Half the song" as told through his daughter's eyes. The wonderful dreamy "While we dance", with a beautiful fresh look at a love song or "Pirates and blindmen" covering the inaptitude of politicians and bankers in this day and age. The story of the begger he had not seen for weeks when he wrote "Down on Caroliner Street" which happens to be the street where he lives. Rembering the over 3.000 people that drowned in the floods in Pakistan 3 years ago in "Ashes to ashes" or giving a thought to his own father that passed away 6 years ago in "Once again". All these and the other tracks on this refreshing new album will take you on a journey that will certainly remasin with you for a long while. Enjoy!!!
