Boss

Boss by highthemoon

We Had a Lot of Fun

this might be my take on bjm, Motown & Irish drinking songs.
thanks to the lyrical mistakes the song was left on a shelve for a long time, until now.

Christmas Single 2009!

Dear Visitor,
let me start to tell you i am sorry i have been neglecting you for such a long time now. to make up, i have made a song for you. it is It's Christmas, I Tell You! and i made it to celebrate! i hope you will enjoy it.

It's Christmas, I Tell You! from highthemoon on Vimeo.



lyrics:

Snow on trees, ice on lakes
Santa Claus, Christmas days
Everyone anywhere, i tell you

Summer so, long ago
Cold has told us, where to go
Family, harmony, i tell you

Suddenly, in my town
Lights are placed, all around
Decorate, celebrate, i tell you

Get your boots, get your coat
Get your car, on the road
Visit all the ones in need
Of company

Need i say, more today
Belly stuffed, worlds to pray
Come together, come to stay
On Christmas Day...

Flee Land

Snow

Snow by highthemoon

maybe i had to save this one for the winter... but snow isn't about the winter anyway (more about everything else). snow is just a great word.

Reminder

hey,
if you like the music and you haven't downloaded my first album yet, you can download it here! just to remind y'all!
and you would really make me smile if you'd let me know you did by leaving a comment (it's the only way to keep track of the numbers..)

ps. the songs on the album are downloadable only, so not listenable (in the soundclouds) on this blog.

Alison by highthemoon

A sunny song for a sunny change from summer to autumn.

Who are you people????

hey there,
thanks for stopping by!
i am very happy with this site, it's a nice way to share my music and it's nice to see that people are listening, so that's the good side of the story...
the other side is that i have no idea who all of you are! blogger is saying (for a couple of months now) that i've had 110 visitors, but the songs & videos are played way more than that. so... if you like... you can leave a comment sometimes, just to let me know you were here, and so that i know that you were here and who you are.
is that fair? if not i'm not offended at all!
thanks.
greetings keez.

ps. soon you will hear things i've recorded in my new go home studio in the herenstraat! isn't that sweet?

Come on Rain Come Shine

Come on Rain Come Shine by highthemoon

another oldie from tilburgian days. but i like it a lot!
and in a tent on vlieland, it sounded like from out of space suddenly. but maybe it had to do with something else.
well, what do you say, silent listener????
let it out.

ps.
as soon as youtube is friendly to me again there will be a new video on the screen! so stay close and be the first (and only) person to see it.

i've been greedy!

hey there,

i wanted to upload a new old song, but i have reached my limit at soundcloud, so i have to wait ten days! i've been too enthusiastic and my free cloud is getting a bit too heavy for it. but i can tell that you can expect a new videoclip for a song that will be featured on the second high the moon album (first one still downloadable here). i think it will be finished this month. so, well, i don't want you to leave empty handed so take a look at a weird thing i made! at least it's something!

for the lola kite lovers: we are very pleased to play at the into the great wide open festival at our favourite waddeneiland vlieland! 5 september.
adios.

Home



about a home.

Christmas Day



a song about a cold summer and a warm winter. it's my mom's favourite.

the hang of it

hey...

i guess i am starting to like this blogging thing i've heard so much about and tried to understand for some time now. that is: trying to find the right way to fill the space i've got here by using things i've made. i found out that it is very easy, and satisfying (soundcloud.com was a great step forward), even though there are next to no visitors yet!

so, now i've got the hang of it i want to post as much as possible, all the b-sides and sleeperhits i've produced. but for this month this is it. i will go to spain for nine days. returning with a brain full of castaniettes and paella. undostresquatro!
with no keyboards or guitars around it will be my hands clapping all the time.

so, sudden visitor, old friend, new lover, don't regret the fact that tomorrow and the day after nothing will be different here. just be patient, and if you want to make a difference you can always post a comment.

one last thing: the english... sorry for that, but it's more fun for me this way, so forgive me. my songs are english, my blog is english - something like that. and don't forget: all the non-dutch speakers will be thankfull!

thank you.

greetings keez


ps.
if you have downloaded casio and birdsounds (even if it was months ago..) i would really like you to leave a comment somewhere on my blog. even 'downloaded' makes me happy!

Nightfall
