"A journey of a thousand miles..."

"...begins with a single step." (Lao-tzu, Chinese philosopher)

For the first time in my life, I feel the need to share some of my thoughts and feelings through a blog. In my 22 years of age I have been travelling many roads and I have met a lot of people. Some of them are "out of sight and out of mind", some of them I will keep close to my heart till the day I die. To those last few I dedicate this blog. At the age of 16 I decided to focus on music. I couldn't play any instrument but wanted to be in a band, so I bought a first bass guitar. Soonly after that I started a first band. From then on I always seem to be involved in several bands at the same time. Music has given me beautiful times, but made me leave things behind as well.

This blog will be mainly filled with lyrics or poems I have written. It's also meant as a kind of diary for the days I'm on the road with my bands or friends.

The title of my blog is a title of a Heartattack Radio song I wrote about my life:

"There’s blood on our sails
And there are holes in our bloody deck
But we keep on sailing
No, we never look back
The past is behind us
And the future is ahead
Free we’ll be sailing till the day we’re death

We want to sail free.

The storms we have conquered
And the places we have been
One day’s a nightmare
And the next one is a dream
Three brothers by my side
This ship is our pride
For freedom we will fight
Till the day we die

We want to sail free.

I want to sail free
Without frustrations and misery
I want to sail free
Without obligations, just
True liberty for you and me.

Try to sail free,
just like me."
