about

This is my new single. It's fresh, summery, upbeat and is a quirky blend of genres like (80's) Pop, North-African music and Folk. The lyrics feel like thoughts jumping in all directions. Similar to how your mind can be when you are stuck in patterns and repeating behavior.

lyrics

You’d think I’d be able
to learn a lesson or two, well
I’ve been hitting this wall
My whole life through

A fox won’t be caught
twice in the same snare
Well fox, you’re so snazzy
That it doesn’t seem fair

You make it seem so easy
Going in head first
Tell me that you’re bluffin'
Please say that I ain’t cursed

cause I’m trying my best here,
And I just keep pushing doors
While they all clearly say pull

and I keep running in circles
Yeah I keep running in circles

How can I give you something
That I don’t know where to find
Can’t even find my keys
But I won’t leave you behind

How do I pick an apple
When I’m not sure which one is real
It was easier for Adam
Just one deal to seal

Please don’t hate the silence
I’m not so good with words
and I’m afraid of being a phony
Among your former loving birds

But I’m trying my best here,
and I just keep messing up
I wish I could be a little more square

But I keep running in circles
Yeah I keep running in circles
Yeah I keep running and running an running

Please look at the stars dear
Tell me, what do they say
Cause I can’t decide here
and I don’t have all day

Please look at the stars dear
Tell me what to do next
cause I can’t get my mind clear
and I’m really trying my best

But I keep running in circles
Yeah I keep running in circles
Yeah I keep running and running and running and running

about

Jorn ten Hoopen Rotterdam, Netherlands

Hi there, I'm Jorn – guitarist, producer, and songwriter. I draw my inspiration from a variety of artists and genres and I love instrumental music, yet lately, I've been gradually incorporating my vocals into the mix.. But if there's one common thread that runs through my work so far, it might be a touch of nostalgia.

Thank you for listening to my music.
