Laat Mij Maar Alleen

Sometimes you just want to turn off all that background noise - other people's advice, other people's opinions, other people's ‘haven't you thought about...’. You want to be alone with yourself, not because someone has hurt you, but because you feel calm inside. Everything is in order there. There, you don't need to change to meet someone else's expectations or adjust your facial expression to suit other people's moods. There, you can make mistakes, fall down, get up and keep going - without excuses, without playing the role of a ‘model person.’

The song sounds like a quiet, stubborn ‘no’ to everything superfluous. Without hysteria, without drama - just a gentle persistence to be yourself, even if everything around you whispers the opposite. And in this there is a rare feeling of freedom: not bright and noisy, but warm and internal. The kind you don't have to prove to anyone.
