'Somebody tore my world apart and put it back together 

Somebody tore my world apart and put the pieces back the wrong way'

A World Of Make Believe was basically done with the help of an acoustic guitar and a slow, but urging drumloop with a sort of hiss in its mix. Lyrically I had the word fake in my mind, as I regularly have lately, when I read the news. Make believe. Create your own reality or bubble and watch what happens to the sheep when you spread the word. A sinister and hypnotic tone of voice. You can hear that in the way I sing, I even almost rap or narrate the words.The chorus is more melodic with a latin feel around it for some contrasting relieve.

U want Spotify playlists!?

Promotion. Fame. Money. Not my thing. Just want to create. I have this urge that's developed into a steady workflow. I'm a lucky guy! I've got the most advanced tools to bring a song alive, working eight days a week in my studio, happy to bring the vibe. My toy garden.

But if you want someone to hear your precious songs, it's unavoidable. The music market is saturated with the daily trends and bored listeners, so it's not easy to get discovered.
How to spread these all over the place these days....? I don't do concerts. I like the intensity of playing together. It has been fun for a while, but I don't miss the stage, no. Well if you do and you do it with conviction, people would love to buy a signed cd afterwards (! )
I guess everyone streams these days. It's the most comfortable and fastest way to experience  a new vibe. Mostly I get in touch with curators of playlists. Let them hear some tunes. On twitter. Of course twitzkrieg is around the corner. I spread those links on facebook groups too. A lot of fakers (promoters) over there though..... You can get a lot of listeners and followers if you want...to pay for it. All I offer them are a few cents.
I think it's all about reaching your own audience and I sort of got the hang of it. I'm patient.
Quality over quantity.

Here are a few playlists with JoosTVD on it, mostly smooth vibes, some uptempo, upbeat, never dissonant. Yeah, easy on the ears, but hitting deep into the gut. So let's find out and share them!

Songs I usely offer are:
Fly Talk, Don't Do It Again, Not Now, Chameleon Girlfriend, Crest Of A Wave, Cosmopolitan Circus.
