Description/Reviews:
In an interview ... Gerben Klazinga told us that his goal was to write an album which has the atmosphere of Knight Areas' 2004 album The Sun Also Rises...
The album opens with the track Forever Alone. After a punchy keyboard/guitar intro the tracks continues in mid-tempo and when Mark Smit comes in it looks like he never was away. What a great voice. The track continues in a mid-tempo and has a lot of varied bridges and intermezzos. The layer of keyboards are overwhelming. Gerben Klazinga is responsible for all the other instruments. He is a multi-instrumentalist and for that I have great respect. Especially for the fact that you don't hear any difference in quality of playing. The tasteful guitar solo is played by Mark Bogert. The solo is very melodic and fits extremely well in the composition. The lyrics of this track tells a story of a man whose parents try to convince him that his woman is not the right one for him.
