The hunter and the haunted 05:05

The hunter and the haunted She said I’m the one now Your first and the last She said I’m the queen No time to be alone Once I’m gone, you‘ll be down there When I’m lost, then I want to be saved She said I’m the one dove No time to fly alone Once I’m gone, you‘ll be down there When I’m lost, then I want to be saved Keep the faith now Cause one last time, you’ll be on your own And if I drown, down there You will turn around, I know you know, I know I said I’m the one outside Your first and the last Once I’m gone, you‘ll be down there When I’m lost, I will be saved Keep the faith somehow Cause one last time, you’ll be on your own And if I drown, down there You will turn around, I know you know, I know Now there’s one way for sure Two ways we know We’re wasting much time We’re partners in crime Now there’s one way we know Two souls that grow We’re wasting much time I’ll be hunting it too, if you want to be new Ooh, ooh, oh ooh

Shaping the soul You can climb this wall, if you want to No nothing is impossible Someone gets better; something is understood If you learn how to love one, please hold on Now, count me in, don’t count me out, if you dare to Nothing’s lost here anyhow Keep the faith now ‘til it’s found No-one’s lost there anyhow Takes a lifetime to shape it Ooh no, Ooh-oh If you think there’s only right or wrong There’s only one path to go on You should learn how to love one than to hold on Now, count me in, don’t count me out, if you dare to Nothing’s lost here anyhow; takes a lifetime to shape it Keep the faith now ‘til it’s found No-one’s lost there anyhow Takes a lifetime to shape it; you can learn it now Takes a lifetime

Hey little girl 03:43

Hey little girl Hey little girl, where did you go? Hey little girl, what did you want to show? All of the time in your heart – you crawled Do you believe that there’s a love? Can you imagine that the world is cold? All of the hurdles in our laps, are the ones we make Then you crawl, then you walk, Then we run to built our private never-neverland When you stand than you fall: pitch up good girl, good boy (and I said) Hey little girl Hey little girl Do you believe that? Do you recall? Do you believe that if you ever call... Can you imagine? Can you recall? Can you imagine that if you ever call... Hey little girl Hey little girl Hey little girl Hey little girl Hey little girl, where did you go? Hey little girl, where did you crawl? Hey little girl, where did you fall? Where did you fall?

ONE LIFE A wind blows at my door, while the sun ‘s going under, no-one is around A wreck lies at the shore, while the wind ‘s going down under, no-one will be found One life, one life, one life is all we’ve got A waft of long ago, as it leads me under your … , I could be your savior And minute after minute, it will lead me under your… , will I be around? One life, one life, one life is all we’ve got Mmm, mmm, mmm I dreamed a slowest life, as the trees grew under my…, a wild and wasted land Despair and eloquence, in the things that surrounds us, how could I forget One life, one life, one life is all we’ve got One life, one life, one life is all we’ve got

Act of God I lead a simple life now And I’ve been turning you on You’ve been on the right track But I’ve been holding you down now God care about us, but if you don’t want it to I spent a simple life now But I’ve been taking you far out You’ve never lived in the fast lane But if been pushing you hard now God care about us, but if you don’t want it to Please care about me, but if you don’t want it to You’ve been on your own, not so long ago I’ve been on the run. For you don’t know; I’m coming on I care about you, but if you don’t want it to Please care about me, but if you can’t make it through And God care about us, care about her. Sure we can make it new And God care about us, care about love. Think we can make her new You can give, you can You can live, you can

Shameless summer 04:09
lyrics

Shameless summer We’ll be around here for a little while she says I´ll only be here for your ruthless tenderness She said to me that it´s a simple love we lead, down here I said it´s all about, about us being here If she comes around, I´ll come around: we start again If she comes around again... It´s a shame I know, driving me mad for this summer of love You just said you want it, I just got to give it, give it all up for you Our beast is all around, we only have to unleash... This thing is oh so wild, we´ve got to set it free If she comes around, I´ll come around: we start again If she comes around, I´ll come around: we start again And what goes around, comes around and hurts again If she comes around again... Such a shame...

Turn of the wheel One thing’s for sure, I’ve been knocking at your door Am I so wrong? A few things you said, made me come out, out of bed But am I so mistaken at all? You say we’re at a turning point, But where do we go from here? Put on the brakes If you want to stop, yes if you want to stop Turn off the lights, If you want to leave, oh if you want to leave I want you forever more Please say you will We can make it last Don’t say that you want to leave We’ll find a way to be strong to overcome our mistakes You say we’re at a turning point, But where do we go from here now? Put on the brakes If you want to stop, if you want to stop Turn off the lights, If you want to leave, if you want to leave It’s a turn of the wheel When I will never know what you’ve been searching for It’s a turn of the wheel When I will never know what you’ve been searching for It’s a turn of the wheel When you just show me, I´ll be looking for answers now Ooh-ooh-ooh

Under a sea 03:37

Under a sea Hiding your eyes, peculiar way. Shine joy and bright, no delay. You’re staring at my skin. I won’t forget to let you in. ‘Cause over the mountains, under a sea. We’ll dance to the fountains, you and me. The words you speak, the nicest noise. Your golden red I have no choice. ‘Cause over the mountain, under a sea. We’ll dance to the fountains, you and me. We shake for lust, the future is bright, I’m standing by your side. When you crawl back, I will fall down and turn around. ‘Cause over the mountains, under a sea. We’ll dance to the fountains, you and me. We’ll dance to the fountains. We’ll dance to the fountains. We’ll dance to the fountains, you and me.

Angel I’m too fast, than too slow So far and I know This white light hits so hard, yes so hard And I’m thinking it over We could be one If we share our moments now I found an angel I found out now If you are my angel now, now, now Your ways are so nice My heart beats so unwise And your kiss hits so hard, yes so hard And I’m thinking it over We could live as one If we spread our white wings now, we’re as one and We fly like angels We fly out now Yes you are my angel, now And I found that angel Yes I found her now And you are my angel now, now, now, now, now

about

Aidan’s Well took all the time it needed for a debut album, and it was definitely worth the wait. Not only has this solo side-project grown to become a tight 4-piece band in just two years’ time; the group were also able to work with the best of the Dutch indie-classical scene (Lunapark, Zapp4-cellist Emile Visser) for this recording. The result is an album that immerses the listener in an atmospheric singer-songwriter universe; a sound that provides a warm experience for fans of the dreamy work of artists like Ray LaMontagne, Patrick Watson or Bell X1.
The songs from frontman Frank Veenstra can perhaps best be described as ‘mood songs’. The release of maxi-single ‘Hey little girl’ was met with praise from the press: “The singer-songwriter has lots of good ideas and is bursting with writing talent (...) Let’s hope that we’ll soon hear more beautiful things from the hand of Veenstra”.
And that’s just what is delivered with this crystal clear production that primarily showcases Veenstra’s clear vocals and Gerritsen’s ‘off the beaten track’ guitar parts. A combination that gives Aidan’s Well’s music an intoxicating effect, whilst always maintaining a sharp edge in terms of sound. This album, with eleven tracks that oscillate between intimate singer-songwriter creations and more poppy songs, dissolves promise and delivers a debut that is exceedingly mature on all fronts.
