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
In the memory of those who fell Their story we'll always tell Heroes and martyrs for the cause of peace In the memory of those who died Nine names are glorified We will continue until Gaza's release For the mothers and children living desperately In the largest concentration camp in history We're sailing on the Freedom Flotilla For the sake of justice we'll be facing the killers We're armed with nothing but the will to bring peace To break the siege and seal a victory We will sail on Sail on, Sail on Freedom Flotilla There will be no compromise On the crimes that we despise Years of siege can't break the people's will They can sink our vessels But we'll go on and wrestle Against the forces who are trained to kill For the fathers and brothers living steadfastly In the largest concentration camp in history We're sailing on the Freedom Flotilla This is our fleet, our non-violent guerilla We stand for the right of everyone to be free And an end to crimes against humanity We will sail on Sail on, Sail on Freedom Flotilla To Gaza
