Amateur one man band form Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Yet another amateur one man band. I started composing and writing at the age of 13. I started off playing electronic organ, later acoustic, electric and bass guitars. Played in a few local rock bands, but for some reason I was never really happy about the way things went. So at the age of 18 I decided to become a one man band. In 1982 I released my first official audio cassette tape "The truth UR afraid of". Followed by each year two more cassettes. In 1992 I threw my instruments into the closet and started using so called "Tracker editors", making me able to use "any instrument" I could ever dream of. Meaning my sound dramatically changed trough the years. These days I hardly release new CD's (mostly one a year). However I don't create every week another new song, as I did before. I keep on ticking.... More information on Tracker Editors in this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracker_%28music_software%29

Story behind the song
Story of a young Jewish man, who lost his entire family during the Holocaust, picking up his live trough Alliyah (emigration to Israel).
Lyrics
Life in Europe was a mess I told my parents to leave, but they wouldn't listen to the words I've just said. They said "son, you're still young, so what do you know about politics". Believe me you don't understand at all. They should have listened to me, then they would be alive, just like me. So here I'm standing, with so many others, lost our friends and our family, lost everything we owned. I know it's gonna' be a hard fight. But we have the right to be free. See. Let's return to Zion. Let's go home. Return to Zion. To All Jews in Etiopia, Germany and America. Let's go home. Return to Zion. Set the Children free. In Zion
