    The debut of a promising newcomer. Roofman breaks with the cliché of the singer-songwriter. The music takes precedence over everything. Recorded with his friends Rhett Shull, Philip Conrad & Pim van der Meulen in our legendary studio in Hamburg. With Johan Scheerer as producer, the way of the album was clear. It's about music, about sound, about art. No soft-washed 2:30 standard mush.

lyrics

I miss the songs in my head
I miss the songs in the morning
I miss how they just fly flew out
Like caged birds at a wedding

Now I’m a deer in your headlights
On my way into the dark
The forests are hollow
without a song in mind

You make it real
You make it way too real for me
You make it real
You make it way too real for me
I miss the songs in the night
I miss them once in a while

I miss the birds in the pines
and how they sing sang their story stories
I miss those fantasy lines
and feeling high as a kite
And as I stand at the crossroads
Your headlights blinding my sight
Can I write you out of my mind?
Just once in a while?

‘Cause you make it real
You make it way too real for me
You make it real
You make it way too real for me
Can I write you out of my mind?
Just once in a while?

Roofman Ermelo, Netherlands

Having accepted the fact that life may well be pointless, Roofman remains a romantic nonetheless. Reminiscing about nature, nurture, love as well as our simple daily thoughts, his lyrics paint the pictures we never thought we’d find the words for.
