You can also INVALID -- Facebook Badge END -- Because of their reliance on a unique combination of politically critical lyrics and catchy beats and melodies, some of these songs managed to penetrate into mainstream Dutch media, most markedly the song 'Balken van Ellende' - a satirical song about the Dutch prime minister - which ended up being used in a news quiz on national television, where two questions were asked about the song (see videos). He also played all instruments and vocals on all songs, except on the album (produced by the African American producer Forrest Thomas) and on the Dutch song 'Doe Maar Multicultureel'. In these songs, Doc Jazz collaborated with prominent professionals from the Dutch jazz and fusion scene. His music can be found in a wide variety of styles ranging from piano ballads to funky music with a groove and with a taste of Doc Jazz's characteristic rock guitar solos (and on 'Front Door Key' the mesmerizing saxophone solos of Susanne Alt) - in three languages:. A Palestinian short shepherd's flute called the is also often featured in the songs. One last note: don't assume the music of Doc Jazz is only political! If you scroll through the vast collection of songs, you will find many songs about other subjects of love, and of life!

Lyrics
Power of Illusion 1. We live in a complicated world Nature obscured by human meddling No wonder its pains are left unheard But that doesnt make it less unsettling Bridge 1: Dont we deserve to know whats really going on Lets separate the truth from the lies Cause Chorus: Why should we fall for digital confusion Why dont we stop the media delusion Lies dont let the power of illusion be Lets break free 2. They say what you see is what you get But that isnt always true these days If seeing is believing be prepared Youre being lured into that crazy maze Bridge 2: Dont we deserve to know whats really going on Lets separate the truth from the lies Cause we Wanna stop the curtain of deceit from being drawn and closing up in front of our eyes 3. When those in the seats of power speak We'll keep on trying to clear the fog Now we know what tricks are up their sleeves No way that the tail will wag the dog
