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
Ive had enough of this place for some time now Was just a lack of alternative I did my best to make the best of the past now But nothing is ever definitive But I'll decide to start making some pace now It's time to show some initiative Aint no use being stuck in this place now There are so many places where you can live Ill pack my bags And rags And board that plane today What a day to fly away moving along Moving along If its written in fate it will happen No such thing as coincidence If you think you can make things happen All it takes seems an incident At the same time you have expectations And you hope that your dreams come true If its ever time for the celebrations Just be thankful it worked for you
