Lose You 04:07
once you assured me that we were friends I guess it's the latest thing I've really heard from you now every contact is just greeting l wonder what happened and now i'm ready to lose you if that's what gonna be I'm ready to lose you hoping it's not gonna be the connection died the graph turned into a dead line a monotonous tone you could as wel] be on mars as here with me in this room and now i'm ready to loose you if that's what gonna be I'm ready to loose you hoping it's not gonna be if it depends on me we'll be friends but you faded away

you're in love with the feeling you don't care about the girl you're in love with the feeling you don't care about the girl but she's useful to you when her body feels like plastic and her kiss just tastes like iron you know it's time to find a new one you know it's time to find a new one to give you the feeling again you're in love with the feeling you don't care about the girl you're in love with the feeling you don't care about the girl but she's useful to you when her body feels like plastic and her kiss just tastes like iron you know it's time to get a new one and when she's broken you walk away you walk away away as if nothing happened You walk away to a new horizon To find that feeling again… there is no love in your life there is no love in your life there is no love in your life

hoelang blijven we spelen met adders en geweren in het mijnenveld hoelang blijven we spelen op ons drumstel in het midden van de nacht terwijl de draak slaapt hoelang blijven we gokken met onszelf als inzet ons eigen lichaam, onze eigen ziel zonder dat we weten wie er wint als wij het zijn die verliezen zonder dat we ooit zullen weten wat we hebben verloren

All Alone 03:51
he's all alone lying on his bed she's looking at him trom a poster with her tempting smile and body he's doing things with her in his fantasy but nothing will make him forget that he's all alone he's all alone she's just done a photo shoot new pictures of her body are made and the boys will be thrilled but she's getting tired of the circus and nothing will make her forget she's all alone she's all alone he looks at the out of reach girl to pretty to be seen with him he thinks i t would be so much fun to be a part of her glamourous world but nothing will make him forget he's all alone he's all alone she finally breaks down inside and she falls on her bed in a hotel room being jealous at the ordinary people who can be just who they are and nothing will make her forget she's all alone she's all alone but this line will not be crossed and he's alone and she's alone

true love waits and that's okay but you seem to spend your time waiting ain't that extremely frustrating unkissed but not a frog never coming too close staying far away cause aint it dangerous being alobe with each other shouldn't that be avoided you can kiss the bride you kiss her for the first time tonight you can do anything if you can only forget about the guilt and the pressure killing your time with having no sex killing you time you could you should do something walk around under the trees and get to know each other have long conversations about weird philosophical theological and complete nonsense subjects you concentrate on what you don't have you concentrate on what you hope you will have you concentrate on everything but today and you don't enjoy these moments but today is yesterdays future today is what you've hoped for today is a part of your childish dreams so don't concentrate on what you don't have so don't concentrate on what you hope you will have so don't concentrate on everything but today and enjoy these moments (they won't come back) and enjoy these moments (they won't come back) and enjoy these moments (they won't come back)

Oh ik weet niet waarom alles oplost voor ik eraan kom Oh ik weet niet waarom bruggen instorten voor ik erop loop misschien moet ik blij zijn dat ik kan zwemmen en dat de krokodillen geen honger hebben vandaag niet meer denken aan de overkant niet meer denken aan wat er niet is en mijn dagen vullen met wat er wel is

love never dies but prophecies shall fail and speaking in tongues wil! be over and all our knowledge will vanish away incomplete is what we know incomplete are our prophecies but when the complete has come the incomplete will be over when l was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child but I grew up and I've left behind all childish things now we see like through an old mirror a vague and dim image but we shall see face to face now we see but it's always incomplete but it will be complete as complete as Gods knowledge of us and meanwhile these 3 things remain faith love and hope and the greatest of all is love

vaarwel want vanaf hier kan ik je niet meer volgen hoewel, ik kan je niet zien gaan zonder meer maar waar jij gaat zal ik nooit gaan en wat je doet zal ik nooit doen en wat je wil het zegt me niks en nog veel erger, het leidt tot niet veel Vaarwel kan ik niet zeggen Je zou het niet begrijpen Hoewel langzaam maar zeker De afstand zal groeien Totdat er niks meer is Geen woorden om te zeggen Want waar jij gaat… En je kan niet zien wat ik zie En ik zie ook niet wat jij ziet Het lijkt zo leeg en onbenullig Zo tijdelijk en nep Ik zie erdoor ik zie erdoor Vaarwel want vanaf hier Kan ik je niet meer volgen Vaarwel Gods zegen vriend Meer kan ik je niet geven

about

This is a collection of old songs from the early '00's.

Somewhere before the year 2000 I started recording my weird songs and sound experiments on cassette and later minidisk, resulting a few demo tapes, the last of which (a bit of a compilation) was called 'The Irresistible 21st Century Virgin Boy'. When I switched to multitrack recording on the computer the sound quality changed a bit and the arrangement possibilities changed too, but the sound experiments and lo-fi home recordings remained.

Somewhere along the way I started putting songs on the internet, first on myspace and later on a Belgian site called noxa. Some of the songs from that time ended up on my demo-CDRs and ultimately became part of 'I am the Belgian Christian lo-fi scene', while others disappeared from sight. A few of the later noxa songs have disappeared altogether in a computer crash, and don't exist anymore.

'Lost songs from the wild myspace days of The Irresistible 21th Century Virgin Boy' is a compilation of the computer-recorded songs from the early and mid '00's that never ended up on one of the other albums, or at least not in the versions here.

They are slightly remastered, but since I've lost the original tracks years ago in a harddisk crash I am unable to mix them or do more overdubs or otherwise change them. So everything you hear is what I originally recorded, with all the weirdness and imperfections of how I played music when I was in my early twenties...
