about
There are those who claim that Erik Hofland, aka dyzack, has made a comeback. They are wrong.
After impressive performances, both in Holland and abroad, 3 studio albums, raving reviews and awards, it was time for a change. From 2005 to 2011 he was composing music for theatre, amongst others for theatre company Vis á Vis.
The reason for the appearance of his new solo album, This mangy soul, is a bizarre and recurring dream.
Dyzack is now approaching the age at which his father committed suicide.
In his dream, as with most dreams, this subject gets a surreal twist: a medical procedure raises his father from the dead.
However, confusion surmounts as he realizes nothing is what it used to be.
This mangy soul is undoubtably dyzack's most intimate record so far.
The album is a collection of songs about loss and existential fear hovering over humans.
But that fear is never the main subject: above all this album is a consolation for our mangy souls.

i have this habit to reflect or mark my life with things that are no use at all
some might call it a waste of time
some people might say it's a nice song

Without Blue
The river is up there
Touching the sea
The wind seems easy
and I'm ready
Here's liftoff
I'm floating towards the sun
It feels kinda weird
In my belly, I go on
Now I'm higher
Than any tree
Loose my weight
I'm above here
Without blue - Track Name: Whatever it moves
-
Whatever it moves
A gasoline haze
Followed by blaze
All thoughts of sin
They're ready to go down
Whatever it moves
It's got to wait
Whatever it moves
I still got this need for love
Aha
Crackle soul, it's too hot to hold
Who'll hurt ones hand, who'll hurt ones bones
A crackle weep, a howling sweep
Common sense
I hate to search for that
Itchy brain, catch that flame
Douse all souls, save those bones
That tickled pink, it's all over my face now
Mask my dreams please all lies falling down
Common sense
I hate to search for that
crumble, fumble I stumble my way
hoping to reach you in some way
Whatever it moves
It's got to wait
Whatever it moves
I still got this need for love - Track Name: Zombie trail
-
What if a second
Was all that you had to
Make my day
All that you care for
Put it in the grave
And dig it up again
What if a second
Was all that you had to
Make a move
Do a rhumba baby
Ballroom music
It's in my head
(The living dead)
Face up high
and walk straight the line
Do a little hey hey
watch your zombie trail
Face up high
And walk straight the line
Do a little hey hey
Watch your zombie trail
You think you caught it
The holy Grail
What if a second
Was all that you had to
Make my day
All that you care for
Put it in the grave
And dig it up again
now face up high
and walk straight the line
Do a little hey hey
watch your zombie trail
Face up high
And walk straight the line
Do a little hey hey
Watch your zombie trail
You think you caught it
The holy Grail - Track Name: This beautiful place
-
I'll show you
This beautiful place
I know
Now follow me
Around that corner
And you will see
Maybe
Maybe we will kiss
Maybe
You will go, go with me reveal our
love
Hand in hand
We turn and we turn
We turn and we turn
While we are looking down at the world upside down
I hold you
When you let me go
When we both not know
What will happen
Don't let me go lone
Imagine this
Your soul at ease
You rest
We will rest in peace
I'll show you
This beautiful place
I know
Now follow me
I'll show you
We turn and we turn
We turn and we turn
While we are looking down at the world upside down
I hold you - Track Name: There's the surface
-
This water is the air,
I wish I could live in.
Together with my friends,
the whale & the fish
Just wonder if I ever,
will breath again
I don't wanna drown,
before I know
There was a crack
and a high screeching noise.
Oh yes now I remember,
it all too well.
Looking at that movie,
a flash before my eyes.
Spirit made instant.
a pearl filled with time.
That's my life,
I'm looking at.
Oh yes now I remember,
it all too well
And it makes me mad, for what I have left behind,
there's the surface.
There's water all around me,
a pity that I'm human.
Ropes around my ankles,
weighing me down.
Grab for a knife,
that I can't find.
Oh yes now I remember,
it all too well.
And it makes me mad, for what I have left behind,
there's the surface. - Track Name: You saw it
-
You saw it happen you said it before
All that was scary the twist we were in
I thought of dying & the things i'd missed
You said it was just a tease from the wind
Something wrong, what have I done
all I though when we tumbled down
You saw it happen you said it before
Stop fooling me, I was not that wrong
The end is there well you have to admit
I'll give you this it's a choice for some bliss
You're not that
Thankful for the
Moments of love
When we tumbled down
We were as high
as a human can be
that it was risky
we knew - Track Name: You make my day
-
You make my day
It's all that I care for
No matter what
You think of me
You might know me
As a dear friend
You might know all
the tricks of the trade
Please wait your turn
not move a muscle
Please keep your voice down
And save it for as long
When the moon hits the earth
And the earth kisses back
When you think you've waited
Until you're at your wit's end
When the night becomes day
After a too big laugh
You may say whatever you want about me
I'll make your day
That's my job hey
No matter what
I might think of you
I used to know you
As a dear friend
I used to know you
as the enemy
Please hold your horses
your movement is not that strong
Please keep your voice down
And save it for as long
When you think you've waited
Until you're at your wit's end
When the night becomes day
After a too big laugh
You may say whatever you want about me
When the moon hits the earth
And the earth kisses back
When you think you've waited
Until you're at your wit's end
When the night becomes day
After a too big laugh
You may say whatever you want about me - Track Name: Faded to soul
-
I'll have to embrace
It was a stitch in time
I'll have to inhale
it did not save nine
All that I retain
Your image, it complains
That it's almost
Lost
Out of sight,
out of my mind
A replaceable piece in
This heart I have
For a life goes on
Where nothing seems wrong
For me or
For somebody else
Faded to soul
That's what you are
Faded to soul
Between the clouds somewhere
Faded to soul
That's where you are
Faded to soul
Stupidity,
that's in my mind
I'll never forget
And I'll never ditch
Those memories
I was way too young
To act as I
should have done
Faded to soul
That's what you are
Faded to soul
Between the clouds somewhere
Faded to soul
That's where you are
Faded to soul - Track Name: The race
-
I'll have to race
Trespass on the case
I've lost nothing yet
Wonder how I do
A wish for love from a fool
Maybe some will be hurt
I'll have to race (getting ready)
Snatch the rat by the tail ( I'm not that steady )
Gonna climb that hill ( for all I want to get )
Nothing will ease my need for the rush I'm hooked on
I want to get it higher than anyone has ever gone
I'm on top of it all
