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
I am calling Callin out into the night It's a feeling Thats been creepin up on me inside We are moving But we dont know what direction Are we strong and proud Or just in need of some protection Bridge & Chorus: Used to know what we were heading for Thought we knew how to sail these seas But it's not so easy anymore It's hard to see the forest through the trees So say it Say it to me sweetly Say it Say it to me sweetly Say it Say it to me sweetly That it's all gonna be alright That time will turn this tide And there will soon be land in sight I am hoping Hoping you don't get me wrong You can count on me No matter what, I'll always stay strong I'm still your hero And the shoulder you can lean on I just need those words Cause they're the fuel that keeps me going strong In this world gone mad We've been hoping and praying Holding our ground No matter what people were saying But even a man has his moments When he needs to know where he stands And only his woman Can understand
