navaal schip

This song was my first composition. It was written in the post depression years without being emotionally bankrupt. The title refers partly to my childhood, i frequently resided on the coast, and can also be interpreted as a metaphor for everything we (have to) loose and leave behind while growing up, sometimes joyfully, sometimes painful. Yes, maybe we are like a ship, we choose the sea, will we ever come back to shore where we can find love in an unknown land ? ----- * Contains some measures of a song from the ninja gaiden game for the 8-bit nes *
