This is a live version of an old song of mine, Live To Be. It was performed by my former band Orion. The gig was somewhere in April 2002 in P60 in Amstelveen (near Amsterdam).

For Super5onic: pop/rock band. A mix between The Beatles & Oasis. (www.super5onic.com), for me: experimental, pop/rock... some instrumantal songs too...
First of all, on this page it's not about my band but about me. I'm Matthijs Ypenburg and I play in super5onic.

I'm one of the songwriters of the band and I like to experiment with music and making recordings of them on my computer.

Lyrics
Who knows what history made? It's life burried in the soil When it's down on one man's shade The father, son and holy ghost I saw a child playing on the street He was playing in midsummer night Although his wars aren't neat The red sun was showing her light Nobody ever saw the souls internal light Who can make miracles although they aren't right Will you forget what you remember? Stay insured or else surrender Would you like the world just to see Will you ever will grow up? Will you always be a mob? Would you like to go and live to be? Live to be I saw two men walking alone The one told nothing but lies And as they passed a traveller's stone They realised there was nothing to fight Nobody laughs at a misplaced joke 'cause They can see the truth that's inside The storyteller knows they are broke Of buying cars that shine so bright Sometimes you'll need to escape Some place where you can hide Just a different landscape A place where to rest your mind They will build a space elevator They will drive you to the stars And you will leave the Earth's creator Of people with shiny cars
