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 heard enough for now about politicians Come closer to me Ive seen enough today to cloud my visions Come closer to me While they ruin the world outside this room Lets pretend the globe is far from doomed Just come closer cause Ive missed your eyes Lets pretend that we're in paradise I work so hard and make an honest living Come closer to me But it's all worth it it's taking and giving Come closer to me Lets take a time out from the game of life And embrace the fact that we're alive Just come closer cause Ive missed your eyes Lets pretend that we're in paradise Move closer Move closer Now I've been so busy now I owe you some attention Come closer to me What took me so long is beyond my comprehension Come closer to me Oooh girl I missed your eyes I'm not evading my responsibilities Just taking a break from all the hostilities I've been so busy now I owe you some attention Come closer, come closer to me
