I’ve posted a Brand New song.

Recorded by Cripple Creek Ferry(www.cripplecreekferry.nl)

The lyrics are below.

Hello Everyone,

www.myspace.com/minnebruin

I am Menno Bruin From the Netherlands.

I started playing guitar when I was 14 years old.

Since that moment I have been active into music.

I’ve been playing in a couple of bands.

One of the things i’ve always been enjoying is songwriting.

Sellaband is a nice way to spread my own songs all over the world.

The Bands that I’ve been playing in recorded a few CD’s.

About the songs

Here are the lyrics for a fresh new song.

Only the lyrics yet.

She moves me              Menno Bruin   

SHA LA LA LA LA NAN NAN NAN NA NA NA

She moves me

Everytime she comes into the room

And she grooves me

Sparkling like a rose in Bloom

And she’s dancing

All over the floor

And the look in her eyes

when she opens up the door

and she tells me

fairy tales and nice stories

about flowers

sing it out for hours and hours

and she’s jumping

her way around

and you’re wondering

is it love that you found

SHA LA LA LA LA NAN NAN NAN NA NA NA

she wakes up

like so many other girls do

and she asks  you

what if it’s not true

and you hold her

o so tight

and she helps you

all

 through the night

SHA LA LA LA LA NAN NAN NAN NA NA NA

Easy and Slowly is a song for Samba and Paco.

Paco Diedhiou is a great rhytm player from Senegal.

Take a look at www.bakine.nl

Paco also plays on Flying Carpet B.side
