ABOUT THIS TRACK:

Dutch singer/songwriter Loes van Schaijk’s debut album All I Ever Really Seem To Say opens with the melancholy ballad Being Here. The colorful chords that Loes plays on the guitar and the plaintive wail of the Dobro (by guest Radek Vaňkát) underline the lyrics about looking for a home in a strange land.

LYRICS:

Could it be that the grass is really greener here?
Is it just me, or are the stars a little brighter?
But when I'm here and when you're with me
Everything is just so much lighter

Well I've never known just how to let a good thing be
And I've never known just how to let a good thing go
But as you cannot hold on to a waterfall
The only thing to do is let it flow

Everything's gonna be alright
Cause it's already pretty fine today
Everything's gonna be alright
And my heart is turning a lighter shade of grey

Now I start to see I'll never really understand
As I immerse myself into this neverending stream
Oh it’s up to you to let me be a stranger or to take my hand

And with three different languages I try to express
What I cannot even say in my mother tongue
Sometimes I just want to close my eyes
And capture the moment in a song

Everything's gonna be alright
Cause it's already pretty fine today
Everything's gonna be alright
And my heart is turning a lighter shade of grey

And I will keep on dreaming
And I will keep on trying
Even though sometimes I get so tired
I can smile as I am crying

Everything's gonna be alright
Cause it's already pretty fine today
Everything's gonna be alright
And my heart is turning a lighter shade of grey
