The truth can be funny if it is told in the right setting. Fokko combines firm rock with truthfull lyrics that makes you smile and think.
For example his latest track “Stadaarnietzodoeiets” can be used as a powerful mindfullness meditation about your here and now as a thirty-something person. Here a translation of the lyrics for our international audience (thanks to google)
Do not stand like that, do something
You’re an acorn
You are in the forest
If that squirrel sees you
Then he will eat you
You are a car
Ready for demolition
They stamp you so flat
And then you are no longer for sale
You are a whale
And you feel the harpoons
There must be air in your hole
They let you bleed
In the cosmos
Flying a meteor
He wants to say that
And you stand for it
Go
Do not stand like that
Do something
Do not stand like that
Wednesday
Are you meat
It’s a matter of time
Before anyone in your practice
You do not dream
But where is your pants
You just had it on, but now there is a visit
You’re a grape
And you’re about to break
A dirty bare foot wants to step on you
And the storm
that was not predicted
but now you stand alone in an open field
you are a frog
in a sandstorm
you are a combi microwave on fire
you do the breaststroke between the piranhas
you have your lenses wrong to
it is war
that’s how you wanted your fries
they gave you curry and now you can not enjoy
and that girl
from around the corner
she does not see you
because you can do something about that
