I post new videos every Thursday and Saturday/Sunday.

My name is Eelke. I'm a singer, songwriter and musician from The Netherlands. I play (acoustic) covers and my own original songs. Check out my videos and let me know what you think!

Today I recorded an acoustic cover of Selfless by The Strokes, it's a song of their new album The New Abnormal. My last Strokes cover (Brooklyn Bridge To Chorus) got such nice reactions that I thought I'd record another Strokes tune. This one was pretty challenging to play! Hope you like this version.

Lyrics

Can the dark side light my way out? Yeah
Lay your hand across my face, yeah
Time we lost, that's all my fault


Please don't be long
'Cause I want your love
I don't have love
Without your arm
Life is too short
But I will live for you


How did this fit in your story? Yeah
Why'd you let them judge your body? Yeah
I'll be waitin' there outside, yeah


Please don't be long
'Cause I want your arms
I don't have fun
Without your love
Life is too short
But I will live for you
You're backin' off
But I will live for you, my selfless love


Bite my tongue, I wait my turn
I waited for a century
Waste my breath, no lessons learned
I turn and face the enemy
I'm not scared, just don't care
I'm not listenin', you hear?
He's never there, I don't care
I can't tell you what and where
Yeah, yeah
