    The artwork for this album was made by me! It's a linocut inspired by the snow in March 2021, and a couple of swans I saw near my house around that time. Designer Joost Abbel turned the artwork into this design; he chose not to put any text on the front, and reversed the image for the inside of the case. There is no booklet with this album, but I did do my best on the packaging! I send them out in cardboard envelopes (and often reused ones), I avoid using plastic where I can.

about

This is a very special version of Starlight, which I'm releasing now to my newsletter readers! It will be part of the physical album and possibly I'll release it digitally at some later point. Many thanks to Kaspar Laval for creating this beautiful accompaniment and to Janos Koolen for recording the both of us.

lyrics

Put up your tent beneath the glowing of the starlight
Reminds me of year ago
We had to make our camp out in the total darkness
Right in the middle we didn't know

Now I wonder where you are while you're not sleeping in my bed
Put your arms round someone else, tell me where you lay your head
The trees are arrows pointing up against the night sky
And I wish that you were here
To tell me names of planets, stars and constellations
And make my worries disappear

And I wish you could have tried a little harder to be mine
I gave you all I had, and my heart was on the line
Now I wonder where you are while you're not sleeping in my bed
Put your arms round someone else, tell me where you lay your head

I fall asleep surrounded by the conversation
Of other lovers holding tight
With no one else you'd sleep so well with me beside you
And I'm lost without your hand in mine

Now I wonder where you are while you're not sleeping in my bed
Put your arms round someone else, tell me where you lay your head
