about

'The Concept' started off with a marathon session: Wim recorded all thirteen drum tracks in one day. Over the following year JP and JB worked hard to finish the rest. In June 2007 The Postponers' debut album was finally born.

The physical CD contains three exclusive tracks not available on the digital album!

Track Name: We Love You
We Love You

Now you know, life is hard
Trying to make a brand new start
The past stays near, it follows you
Bound to make you cry and break your heart

But you have something that will always keep you standing
You’ve got a love that is strong enough for mending
No need to be afraid, to let them drive you mad
Someday you’ll overcome, someday his resentment will be dead

And we love you, if you didn’t know
We all love you
Dry your tears cause we love you
We’re standing at your side
Yes we love you

You are strong, and they are wrong
It’s up to you to prove you’re true
Cause you are right, you’ll have to fight
We are all behind you we believe in you

And we love you, if you didn’t know
We all love you
Dry your tears cause we love you
We’re standing at your side
Yes we love you

We Love You
Track Name: Can't Give Enough
Can't Give Enough

Can anybody tell me
What it is that’s making me fall down again
And again, cause I
Seemed to feel alright
Troubles left behind and ready to begin
A brand new life, but now

Everything you do
Is telling me that I can’t be with you
Sometimes I think I must be a fool
But you say that I just can’t give enough

Could never give
Could never give
Could never give
Could never

Can anybody tell me
Why it is that I need so much time to mend
All those scars from the past
I seem to stay attached
To all those dirty things in me, it’s probably
What you miss in me

Please be cool
And help me to get out, I’m not a fool
You know, I really need someone like you
But you say that I just can’t give enough

Four weeks of complete insanity
Losing touch with all reality
I thought that I had finally got out
But you don’t really know what it’s all about

I can’t give enough of that feeling
I can’t give enough of that feeling
I can’t give enough cause I never got any of it
I can’t give enough cause I never got any of it myself

I never got
Track Name: Do You Know Love
Do You Know Love

Do you know love
Are you familiar with the concept
Or is any time I spend with you
Already wasted beforehand

Do you know love
Or is everything you do
Just to make sure I stay in love with you
Because it's so convenient

Convenient

To have a friend
Who'll do just anything to show you
That his love for you is endless
And that everything he does is to please you

To have a friend
Who will be there for you at any time
To comfort you and entertain
To pick you up and ease the pain you feel

Do you know love
Or was it meant to be that you're just here
To teach me about the cruelties
And all the things that can go wrong

Go wrong with love

But I don't care
I will just wait and if I'll have to wait forever
It will be that way
I still dream of that glorious day to come

And if it don't
I will find peace upon my dying day
For I am proud that I can say
That I have always truly loved someone

I love someone
And if you're choosing to abuse that
It just won't make any difference
Cause it's impossible to stall

My love for you
Track Name: Goodbye
Goodbye

I open my eyes, I am yawning
Take a breath while I stretch out my arms
I notice that something is different
But I don't hear a sound

I get up and walk to the kitchen
I open the fridge, have some bread
Too tired to notice the talking
Of the voice in my head

Cause I'm going down to a place where I'm strong
I'm going down to where I belong
I'm going down
I guess I'll be going today

I look around and I see that you're crying
I can't help feeling a tear in my eyes
I'd rather stay but I have to be leaving
So this is goodbye

Oh, yes I have been to this gate and I turned back before
But today is the day that I have to give more
Hope you see that I'm serious, don't hold me back
Hope you see that it's definite, no I won't come back anymore

Cause I'm going down to a place where I'm strong
I'm going down to where I belong

Yes, I have been to this gate and I turned back before
But today is the day that I have to give more
Hope you see that I'm serious, don't hold me back
Hope you see that it's definite, no I won't come back anymore

I guess I'll be going today
Track Name: Speed Of A Highway
Speed Of A Highway

Spinning and swirling
New times unfurling
At the speed of a highway at night

Chain and reaction
Fear and attraction
The feelings that fuel the fight

You are great – I don’t know
You are great – I don’t know
You are great – I don’t know

From peace to disorder
I’m crossing a border
So new and familiar to me

Surrender to feelings
That rise to the ceiling
What the fuck are you doing to me

You are great – I don’t know
You are great – I don’t know
You are great – I don’t know

Try to erase it, try to evict it from me
Try not to think now, it just leads to more lunacy
Oh please, can someone explain this to me

Why it felt so incredible
And now it feels terrible
Extremes I didn’t know to exist

There’s limits to madness
Can’t take much more sadness
But still it is hard to resist

You are great – I don’t know
You are great – I don’t know
You are great – I don’t know

Try to erase it, try to evict it from me
Try not to think now, it just leads to more lunacy
Oh please, can someone explain this to me

Explain it to me
Explain it to me
Track Name: Leave Me
Leave Me

I have a dream of world without injustice
And I have a dream of place where love is all there is
Where I can be with you
Only to be with you

I have a dream of a love without mortality
I have a dream of a place where everyone can be
Just who he feels he is
oh, I can feel the bliss

But that is not just everything I feel
Is it because of you that I'm not real
Must be the people on the other side
They are the ones who make me feel denied

Why don't they just leave me

It´s just for now that I´m ok
Although still I´m not allowed to say
Just the fact that you're there
To me it really means a lot
Oh if only I could tell you
Your love is everything I've got

But you will leave me
Because they won't leave me
Don't want you to leave me
But you´re gonna to leave me

Oh please, don't leave me
Oh please, don't leave me
Oh please, don't leave me
Oh please, don't leave me

Leave me
Track Name: Sleep
Sleep

Oh, just can't quit thinking of you
I can't sleep, I'm thinking of you
And when I sleep I'm dreaming of you
Oh no, don't know
Please go, why are you still bothering me?

Oh, it's your impression on me
It's so much bigger than I wanted to see
Whatever I'll do, you'll stay forever with me
Oh no, not cool
Is this everything I'm getting from you?

What did we do
And where did we go
I don't know, but I know I liked it
But now I don't know
What to think about it
As it's all so very tiring

Oh, I'm getting tired of me
All I want to do now is sleep

What did we do
And where did we go
I don't know, but I know I liked it
But now I don't know
What to think about it
As it's all so very tiring

What did we do
And where did we go
I don't know, but I know I liked it
But now I don't know
What to think about it
As it's all so very tiring

Sleep, just get me some sleep
I just want to sleep
I just want to sleep
Track Name: Really In Love
Really In Love

Look me in the eyes
Smile to me that way again
I’d love to see your eyes
Winking my way again
But you don’t know

Try to use your heart
Try to look right through me
Try to see my heart
And you will see I want to be
With you

Come out and play with me
I want to be with you
I want you to touch me
Like you used to do

Come out and show your heart
I want you to love me
I know you are wavering
But I am waiting, I am waiting

Hey look at me now
I can’t wait no longer
I can’t get no stronger

Come out and play with me
I want to be with you
I want you to touch me
Like you used to do

Come out and show your heart
I want you to love me
I know that you love me

I am in love, really in love
I am in love
I am in love, really in love
I am in love, I am in love

You’ve got to know
I’m really in love with you
You’ve got to know
Track Name: Just A Name
Just A Name

Fiction and reality will never be the same
Glimpse of light, a look of eyes and so we play the game
Touch the sky and fill my heart, but nevermind, play on
Never it will be the same, but it turns on and on

Wars are not my favourites, but living in my head
Killing many morals, many feelings, I am dead
My playground affairs, they've grown into a mystery
Of love and hate, of life and death, but it will never be

Spirals of emotions, I'm lost in my mind
Trying to get out, but where's the gate, so hard to find
Spirals of frustration, I'm locked in my heart
Chainreactions break through my control it is so hard
In my mind, it's your mind

Never float downstream, never being on your own
Never ever laying down all thoughts, I'm fully grown
The shining name that's in the sky always returns to me
Never there's a time to wait, a lonely time to see

Everything's alright, I'm off this world tonight
Everything's ok, I'd found you anyway
Everything is fine, I don't commit a crime
It's just a name

Your name
Track Name: The Truth
The Truth

There’s a hole in my soul
Where you put in a drain
With the tap stuck at wide open
And although it has passed
I still can’t stop the flow
I am low

There’s a change in the game
But I misread the note
As I no longer get the rules
There’s a pin in my brain
That still holds your name
It is cruel

So give me some air
Give me some air
Give me some air
To breathe

There’s a light out of sight
But it’s burning me down
It has lost all its shine to me
I’d better be off to go live in the dark
Of the night

So give me some air
Give me some air
Give me some air
To breathe

It is so hard to see
To make my soul agree
With my mind to see

You don’t need me
And I don’t need you
And that is the truth

You don’t need me
And I don’t need you
And that is the truth

That is the truth
That is the truth

So give me some air
Give me some air
Give me some air
To breathe
