JoosTVD - Straight Up Lyrics/ Music: JoosTVD [2025]
Straight out straight up
Do you feel like you don't belong here
Straight out straight up
You don't want to be all wrong right now
Straight out straight up
Do you feel like you can't talk freely
Straight out straight up
You don't want to tell the truth right now
Don't/ Go wake up to the world awake
Go waste time, you've got plenty go waste time
Don't waste time you ain't got plenty
"Straight Up" that's the new song, that starts off my latest album "Collapse". As for you video geeks out there, I'm a musician, this is pure DIY, so I've kept it simple. As I was experimenting with all sorts of new album covers, the idea to use the same album cover with different backgrounds was born.
Voilà!
First I sing "straight out", which means "immediately". "Straight up" in slang means really, real, truthfully, honest. My simple 'message': to be who you want to be, sort of a call for everyone to live in total freedom. The music? An upbeat, funky, danceable ditty to keep it breezy.
As you can/ will witness, I've made a lyric video just for the effect of the simplicity of the words.
It's not always that difficult!
With a low budget use of the Veed editor (hence the watermark!)
Enjoy!
Next: Total collapse!

It has become a tradition that I look forward to every year. A new album from Joostvd! This singer-songwriter and do-it-yourselfer Joost van Dinther, a.k.a. The Vanishing Dutchman, has imposed himself with a new album every year. And every time he surprises with very high -quality songs in which all kinds of influences pass by such as the warm Kevin Ayers sound through the singing of Joost, Cocktail Jazz, Bee Gees Disco, Fusion, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan ...
opens his new album With the ingenious \"Hink-Step-Sprong\" funk from Keep the Temperature Down. Full of lazy grooves, who stumble over each other but still continue to swing.
then it's time for the Samba in the Dark. Because of Joost's singing, this song sounds like Kevin Ayers ventures on the Samba with good results and a cocktail in his hand. The Bee Gees Disco sound is brought by Joost in that freaking disco through the mangle resulting in a grooving Stely Dan-like sound. Voyage of Vanity is then a beneficial cocktail jazz number powered by lazy electronic rhythms.
The venomous pumping, and funky, the girl not the blues is full of angular grooves and fusion influences. The intimate side of Joost passes by the Michael Franks-like Souljazz song When Blue Turns to Gray. City in the Sea is an instrumental floating Syn-Pop number in the best Yellow Magic Orchestra tradition. Speaking of The Yellow Magic Orchestra ... Sakamoto is a respectful and atmospheric tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto. After the guitar instrumental flower in a flame, Joost closes his album with the hopping funky Zoo or Zen. I am already looking forward to the 2025 album!

Het is inmiddels een traditie geworden waar ik jaarlijks naar uitkijk. Een nieuw album van JoosTVD! Deze singer-songwriter en doe-het-zelver Joost van Dinther, a.k.a. The Vanishing Dutchman, heeft zichzelf opgelegd om elk jaar met een nieuw album te komen. En elke keer verrast hij met kwalitatief zeer hoogstaande nummers waarin allerlei invloeden voorbij komen zoals het warme Kevin Ayers geluid door de zang van Joost, cocktail jazz, Bee Gees disco, fusion, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan…
Zijn nieuwe album opent met de ingenieuze “hink-stap-sprong” funk van Keep The Temperature Down. Vol met luie grooves, die over elkaar heen struikelen maar toch blijven swingen.
Dan is het tijd voor de samba in The Dark. Door de zang van Joost klinkt dit nummer alsof Kevin Ayers zich, met goed resultaat en een cocktail in zijn hand, aan de samba waagt. Het Bee Gees disco geluid wordt door Joost in That Freaking Disco door de mangel gehaald met een groovend Steely Dan-achtig geluid als gevolg. Voyage Of Vanity is vervolgens een weldadig cocktail jazz nummer aangedreven door luie elektronische ritmes.
Het venijnig pompend, en funky, The Girl Not The Blues zit vol met hoekige grooves en fusion invloeden. De intieme kant van Joost komt voorbij in het Michael Franks-achtige souljazz nummer When Blue Turns To Grey. City In The Sea is een instrumentaal zwevend syn-pop nummer in de beste Yellow Magic Orchestra traditie. Over the Yellow Magic Orchestra gesproken…Sakamoto is een respectvol en sfeervol eerbetoon aan Ryuichi Sakamoto.
In 196Tree laat Joost, al croonend, de 60’s pop voorbij komen. Na de gitaar instrumental Flower In A Flame sluit Joost zijn album af met het huppelend funky Zoo Or Zen.
Opnieuw levert JoosTVD een prima eigenzinnig kwaliteits album af. Ik kijk nu al uit naar het 2025 album!
August 2021?
JoosTVD is back!
And I've worked my ass off, I tell you... but I love what I do......... Suit Yourself
