Straight from the heart, comes this selection of 14 rocking and popping songs. Songs about love, opinions and passions. The music is inspired from melodic classic rock and pop, with guitar based arrangements and some keys here and there.

This is the 6th album from the one-man-band Berry Lefthand. Banging on the drums, ripping one's finger tips and screaming out one's lungs. And write songs about what is near and dear to you. That’s what this album is all about!

After a walk down the memory lane, with recording and arranging 5 albums with songs written as a teenager, this is the first album of songs from recent years. The music is still inspired by classic rock and pop, and influenced by the blues. Here are songs to my loved ones. A song for a dear old pet. Songs about opinions and passions. A spoken word poem and an instrumental jam for peace!

"With the Near & the Dear Ones" was released worldwide on the 14th June 2019.

I hold my breath before I smile
My thoughts are put down for a while
I'm gonna dream about it
I wanna scream about it
I'm proud and it sticks out a mile

Show me your heart
I'm gonna be there when it's all over
Right from the start
Yeah I'm gonna be there
I've got to know you my baby new

Well come on out now don't you hide
I got to see what's there inside
I’m gonna be glad about it
I’m gonna be mad about it
Yeah you’ll be my joy and my pride

Show me your heart

Right from the start
Yeah I'm gonna be there

I can feel my heart beating
I take the pulse for a better life
And the sweat keeps on running
Leaves the salt in my eyes

Hear the sound the wheels are spinning
With a speed that shakes the ground
As I shift for a higher level
I feel free like never before

Get me out of here
I can't take this anymore
I'll be waiting
Anticipating
For the love of an open road

And the wind keeps on blowing
It feels like a hidden war
The wheels are spinning
Yeah they are spinning
My heart beating
I feel it beating

Get me out of here
I can't take this anymore
I'll be waiting
Anticipating
For the love of an open road

Get me out of here
I can't take this anymore
I'll be waiting
Anticipating
For the love of an open road
For the love of an open
An open road

I got up
And fixed myself a drink
Then I thought
Now it's time to think
'Bout the fact
All we write in ink
Too much blue
That is true

To discuss
What is right or wrong
An asset
That is good and strong
But the words
It will bring along
Much too much
I am lost

Let's make it easy
It's time to ease it
Too many rules this time around
Let's make it easy
Do you believe me?
Too many rules will bring you down
Let's make it easy

Let's go back
And make a word diet
'Cus in my head
We need a new mindset
And cut down
This law-filled banquet
We don't need
More jumping sheets

Let's make it easy
It's time to ease it
Too many rules this time around
Let's make it easy
Do you believe me?
Too many rules will bring you down
Let's make it easy

Let's make it easy

Let's make it easy
It's time to ease it
Too many rules this time around
Let's make it easy
Do you believe me?
Too many rules will bring you down

In the desert sand
I could walk for miles and miles
Just to hold your hand
And see your catching smile
I'd pretend to stand
Beside you for a while

'Cus you you keep me rocking now
(all my blues)
You you keep me rocking now
(all my blues)
Yeah you you keep me rocking now
All my blues away

If a stormy night
Should bring me to my knees
I would see your light
As a warm and gently breeze
And everything is bright
As far as I can see

'Cus you you keep me rocking now
(all my blues)
You you keep me rocking now
(all my blues)
Yeah you you keep me rocking now
All my blues away

'Cus you you keep me rocking now
(all my blues)
You you keep me rocking now
(all my blues)
Yeah you you keep me rocking now
All my blues away

So impatient
You were walking
'Round in figures of eight
Were you telling
That's the number my mate
Oh oh the number eight

And there are stars in the sky
That you and I we're both passing by
And now I try to heal the pain
Oh how I long to see you again

Moonlight strolling
Through the winter
Was a common love to share
You were dribbling
In tender moments at home
oh oh you weren't alone

And there are stars in the sky
That you and I we're both passing by
And now I try to heal the pain
Oh how I long to see you again
Ahahh you were my friend
Ahahh see you again
ahahh you were my friend

And there are stars in the sky
That you and I we're both passing by
And now I try to heal the pain
Oh how I long to see you again

Yeah yeah and there are stars in the sky
That you and I we're both passing by
And now I try to heal the pain
Oh how I long to see you again
Ahahh you were my friend
Ahahh see you again
ahahh you were my friend

The stars in the sky
You and I
Yeah there are stars
Stars in the sky
You were my friend
You were my friend

Come on back let me feel
If you lack a steering wheel
I've got a little more to share
A little more to spare
And that's the truth
Just relax and you'll find
To the max in your mind
I have a little more hope
Have a little more dope
To extend your youth

But when the morning comes
And they all have gone to sleep
Will they feel the sun in their eyes?
And when they're wide awake
Have they felt the great escape?
Or a pain so big and filled with lies?

Back again I can see
I'm your friend just stick to me
I've got a little more to show
A little more of Blow
No you won't stay blue
This is good I can tell
Knock on wood now you're in hell
I've got a little more to offer
And before you'll suffer
I'll be there for you

But when the morning comes
And they all have gone to sleep
Will they feel the sun in their eyes?
And when they're wide awake
Have they felt the great escape?
Or a pain so big and filled with lies?

And when the morning comes
And they all have gone to sleep
Will they feel the sun in their eyes?
And when the night has gone
Will they crawl here back to you?
Or search for love in their hearts?
Or search for love in their hearts?

I tell you one thing
I lay it on the line
‘Cus I have decided
I’m gonna make you mine
There is something

All I need is time to think
Before my mind will start to sink
Got to find the truth somehow
Don't want to go astray
I want to feel better now
Make a better day

For a little while
Don't want to fall apart
I just want to smile
So satisfy my heart
For a little while
Satisfy my heart

Now it's time to search my soul
And find hope and gain control

Breathe in and breathe out

Come on
What are you saying here?
Come on
It sounds quite unclear
Come on
What are you trying to do?
Come on
I know that we'll get through
Come on
Won't you give me a smile
Come on
And let it last for a while
Come on
Don't need to be this way
Hear what I say

Well it's a matter of fact
That we have made this pact
So I'll get down on my knees
If it's out of control
We could put it on hold
So I'm begging you please, please, please

Come on
Don't want to fight this war
Come on
Now this has gone too far
Come on
Before I lose my mind
Come on
Can we leave it all behind?
Come on
Whatever we have done
Come on
Can it be so wrong?
Come on
We don't need to cry
Let's face it eye to eye

'Cus it's a matter of fact
That we have made this pact
So I'll get down on my knees
If it's out of control
We could put it on hold
So I'm begging you please, please, please

Yeah it's a matter of fact
That we have made this pact
So I'll get down on my knees
And if it's out of control
We could put it on hold
So I'm begging you please, please, please

By the light of the darkness
And by the end of the day
We seek no sorrow
And that is all I really have to say

I know the reason he said
Why a light shines for the dead
Now hold on my mate
I'm not quite sure you're right
To light a light in the dark
I know you would have to be bright
Or just signed off from the Ark

I'm gonna show you
It's all a game
Don't let it blow you
'Cus we´re all the same
I'm gonna show you somehow

You said the answer my friend
There's a chance things may go right
So come on the end
Bring on the glory days
Let's go dancing in the park
Well I wanna have it both ways
And light a light in the dark

I'm gonna show you
It's all a game
Don't let it blow you
'Cus we´re all the same
I'm gonna show you somehow

I'm gonna show you
Don't let it blow you
I'm gonna show you
Don´t let it know you

Now come on
Let's go dancing in the park
Well I wanna have it both ways
And light a light in the park

I'm gonna show you
It's all a game
Don't let it blow you
'Cus we're all the same
I'm gonna show you somehow

I'm gonna show you
Don't let it blow you
I'm gonna show you
Don't let it know you

Over the hill
It's such a thrill
Over the hill with you
Over the hill
It's such a thrill
Over the hill with you
Over the hill
It's such a thrill
Over the hill with you
Over the hill
It's such a thrill
Over the hill with you

You are my life
And my heart and soul
You see the light
In my heart I know
You are you are my life
And you are you are my soul
Tonight I'll be the one you'll see

I will be there tonight
With my heart my soul under pale moonlight
I will be there tonight
With a trust in love from a shimmering light
I'll be there tonight

You are my love
And my joy and hope
You make things right
So my life I can cope
Tonight I'll be the one you'll see

I will be there tonight
With a trust in love from a shimmering light
I'll be there tonight

You are you are my life
And you are you are my soul

With my heart my soul under pale moonlight
I will be there tonight
With a trust in love from a shimmering light
I'll be there tonight
With a shimmering light
I'll be there tonight

 One evening after watching the News, I was so sad and devastated. It seems that people are hurting each other everywhere, in wars and terror actions. I went into my studio and simple went BERSERK, and I recorded this instrumental rocker with the aid of a drum machine. Very quick and very fast, with the 4 guitar parts, each done in one take. Feel free to play this one LOUD, every time you feel you have had enough! Hopefully that would make more peace!
