Update: Monday 6 February - New song early in the process - "Floating With The Waves"

Iris van Dijk

Hello everyone. Here’s just a regular update about what I’m thinking about today. I’ve just released my EP called Back To The Start and I’m so happy it’s officially out now on all streaming platforms.

You can listen to it via this link.

To the ones who listen to my music online: thank you so much for streaming my music! Every soul that is touched by my art in one way or another is a great deal to me. That is what I’m doing it all for.

All of my music that's on the streaming platforms right now took a very long time to make. Like with all art forms: it's usually a very long process with lots of ups and downs.

You; my followers; my audience are also mainly only hearing the end result of this long process most of the time. And that's how it usually goes with art and that is fine.

However, that can sometimes be a little frustrating for small artists like me, because it can look/feel like there's not much happening in between great releases. That's why I would like to show you a song that is in a whole different part of this long process.

This is a song that is still very raw, unpolished, and fresh. Only an acoustic guitar, my voice, some chords, and lyrics on a piece of paper.

It was part of a subject called “lyric lab” that I’m following right now at the Conservatory of Amsterdam as a part of my Master's degree.

It's called "Floating With The Waves".

Hope you enjoy it.

And who knows: it might end up on the next album or EP! 😉
