My first song completely written while on my worldtrip. It’s written and recorded in Jáco – Costa Rica a couple of days ago. Did not have internet so had to wait until today.

There’s a catch: please tell me what you feel about this song.. it’s only acoustic guitar and I have to write to fox. Title is HOW DO YOU FEEL and I want it to be about you.. so post a message or send an pm. to HDYF@leave.nl

Love, Edwin

2008/12/09: THE OTHER WAY AROUND

I’ve decided to do things completely different.. well, I think this is the way it should work becoming a believer. Not putting complete songs online about what you’re going to record. Believing has to be exciting and surprising. Therefor: NO MORE FINISHED SONGS!!!!!

But there’s another thing, I’m travelling the world from november 2008 so there’s no band at the moment.. it’s really me writing new stuff on crazy places on earth. The profile picture for example: taken on an Island called San Pedro La Laguna in Guatemala city.

RECORDING SONGS: THE GEAR

The recordings are no fancy studio recordings or taken at home, Can’t Catch Me is the exception and the latest recording with the former band.. but the rest is:

1. a baby-Taylor acoustic guitar
   
2. a handy Zoom stereo recorder

It’s just guitar parts for now, that’s the way I work writing songs, but again, it’s sketches and the end result should be a surpise.

Like my aproach? Take the jump and believe in me.. and ohh, I’m in Honduras right now and will arrive in Panama around end dec08/ begin of jan09… I’m always in for a live performance to persuade you in believing.. just send me a pm. and maybe we can meet!
