Artist History "Luka,van den Driesschen yeah that' s the nice good looking guy in his fifties, singing 'Strangers in the Night' for the tourists in some big hotels on the Mediterranean island of Crete ....." "Luka, oh I know him from Dutch Radio. He sings a funny song in Dutch about this Crete with the sheep making 'Baeee' and a bunch of girls singing in Greek which nobody except Greeks can understand!..." "Luka, isn' t that the guru with the sexy voice, preaching on top of some weird techno tunes, ya my daughter likes him..." "Luka, leave me alone, I know this guy. He plays this funny old guitar and sings songs to comfort lonely housewives." "Luka? Who is Luka, should I know him?" "If I had children to put to sleep, that would be the right voice to read them good night stories...." "Luka, yes, his voice has something that makes me feel good, I can' t explain why and how..." "His voice, listen to it... and listen to what he sings, finally someone with a straight message: be you..." Some Opinions... OK, what does he say, who are You, Luka?: I don't want to fill Your minds with names and places or how good I am so that maybe You buy a CD or listen to me..... It's not that I have not lived. I am writing to You now so I must be breathing, in fact I am. But You see what is truth...... the chocolate side of me? All is not about me when we are part of each other breathing under one big great sky.... I am Your global friend.....and so are You..... Being a part of this world..... Being Your face and Your heartbeat and far beyond.... I am not here to give me to You but to give you to You And even this I cannot do.... it is up to You..... It is up to You if You touch Your internal string..... So You sound Your own sound..... Dance Your own dance..... Oh lover in the world....in so many ways I am but a helpless man..... If Your ears have no wings......... If Your heart does not drink life' s nectar... For it is not my truth that You need to see....but Your own.... The harmony of living is left and right....up and down....... Breathing in breathing out........And on this melody of living is creation. And this harmony sings, paints, dances, fills You with loving And heals......... Each one of us in his own unique way.....the way is the way..... It is creation without intention...it' s all just happening . And it can happen to anyone....if Your heart is open.... If You can clean the dust away from Your eyes. If You awake from the sleep turning Your nights into daylights Finding the twilight in Your being..... That I was born on the 21...8...1944....in Holland, migrated to Australia at the age of 14....living there for 20 years..... That I traveled oh so many years seeking the sun is not going to help Much...maybe interesting, yes there is quite a story....... But for now it will add so much more knowledge to Your minds.... And this is what You must drop to be open, to listen, to feel Your inner voice.....Your own heart beat..... Bringing You home to Your home..... The face You are.... . What, my friends, must I say.....that I have been rich..... That I have been poor..... Been with Queens....been with Princes..... Been down and out....my eyes touching hell.... My heart flying to heaven...... If, my friends, I am telling You that I am an angel Than the other side must also be true... For life is positive as well as negative...rain and sunshine You and me.... By seeing me I have learned to see You, felt Your pain, in the streets In my heart...seeing that Your pain is my pain too...... Am I now to say I have found.....when growth is endless..... That growth is growth and that in growth You find...... Touching creation......... Then in Your flight in You touch Your flight standing still..... Am I to say, friends, I have stopped my search for I have found..... Only to say to You.....I know nothing...... Yes I did study on the social academy.....but what have I learned Yes I did many groups...going through every layer myself..... Gestalt....Bio Energetics...Psychosynthese....Psychic Healing..... Trance Analysis.....And there must be more..... But that the greatest moment of my life was Living It..... Just being alive.....And that my heart opened when I put my arm Around a friend in pain in tears....saying it is OK...it is OK Feeling for the first time in my life compassion..... And that I have seen You in prisons in mental institutions... And he that locks You away.. is looking for his own key.... And we all are....and that all neuroses can be transformed into Roses.....in fact they are roses.... If You don' t hold on to the valley but see that there is a mountain Waiting for everyone......and that this mountain is You...... When in this moments alive is yesterday, today and tomorrow.... How can I give You only yesterday.... Showing the back part of me...... When we all can have and should have a rebirth... Yesterday is gone....if needed to be relived in a therapeutic setting Than to let go...... Life is a moving river...never can one drink the same wine twice. Showing You the ocean in which You can disappear..... And in this moving we meet energy, a burning fire turning to face us Saying rise with me to stars...where love is not to hold but loving. Living a life for better or worse..... From right comes wrong from wrong comes right.... From hate we can start to love to be loving... And in loving all is all right.... Or do You want to hear that I am on TV on Radio That I have behind me thousands of performances.... In so many countries......not seeking to be a star... But seeing that we are all one....... Recently I was once more on a radio station.. They played my songs we said a few things..... There were candles burning all around it was so beautiful All just happening...then they asked me back again..... Wanting to know more about who I am And what I had done...... The second time they missed the point , the here and now was not there And so it is with the songs I was allowed to write down to let through Me. They are not mine.....how can they be.....I was not there..... When I wrote them...... They are a gift from a place You and I breathe..... An internal song....awakening Your string my string...... I am just a passer-by....passing through what belongs... Being ever oh so grateful for holding these pearls..... From the ocean... in my heart in my hands....reaching out to You Saying come take some I have so many.....and held them far too long... But don' t ask me where I got them from... for I don' t know....... It can not be said..... It can not be explained..... It is the unspeakable..... But it can be found in You....in all walks of life...... Never but never forgetting Your foundation. No mountain can exist without it' s valley... Wine without a glass is difficult to drink........; All of us should seek a rebirth where we are born again This time on our own accord in our awareness.... Then Your past doesn' t matter too much..... And Your tomorrow are thoughts just passing by..... But what counts is This....only This.... In This You can be loving....What is the use of telling someone Tomorrow I am gonna kiss You In This You can be a flower In This is growth In This is creation In This is You Your face And all I am to You is being Your mirror, and You are mine..... My autobiography is Your story once You know You You know me For tell me, did You not find me to find Yourself...... And others will one day find You to find themselves..... It' s the circle of creation......a seed to flower..... A flower to seed....... This is what I can give..... In this You can find........... I have no intentions I have no religion A tree doesn' t say...Hey I am gonna be a tree A bird doesn' t say , today I am gonna sing He just sings without thoughts It' s a gift without strings without wanting something in return And I sincerely feel that this is with me also..... It all just happened And I grow like You to let it happen.... Seeing so many tears in so many eyes So much hate in so many hearts Seeing the seed of You wanting to come alive But also seeing tears of gratitude tears that are dancing Also in the eyes of mine....tears of a song...... A song for me a song for You..... The power of healing....healing our hearts.... Always found in love....in being loving.... Turning into compassion.... For one self...radiating to others..... How can I tell You what I have found When I have found nothing...... Once this man was in India Singing in my hotel room There was a knock on my door And when I opened it There was a woman Standing in the doorway Thanking me for having healed her And I said with surprise What did I do...... Once I was in India Singing in Ashram I Leave You My Dream And a beautiful person Came up to me with tears in his eyes Saying Thank You What can I give You Seeing his tears I said Your tears are enough Being surprised at what I said Once I was on Crete Singing my heart out to the people When it was over some came up to me And said Thank You for the light And I thought What light Friends, here I am sharing with You what belongs to You I have waited so long for it to make it happen For also I had to see me to see You And from a wonderful place we share. Into the world....Being ever so grateful for what is happening Let us not be an island on our own no one is this But let us hold hands together, our heartbeat one..... To let our flower blossom in a world so beautiful but often so lost Letting hate be loving Letting the seed be the flower Letting village of love come alive in Your hearts Therefore on the island for people like You A village of love in creation where You are the creator Breathing on an eternal wind ....on the waves of the Greek seas... Coming home....again....to the Atlantis in Your hearts.... I am calling You on the wind no matter where You are Now is the time now is the moment The foundation is being laid down. With one brick one can not build a House.....So we ask You for support....... Only if You know how to give....... Only if Your heart says so...... To let Your dream awake in the sunlight In the mountains...where we are the valley.... of dawn..... And if You are ready to share.......... No matter how great no matter how small for every wave makes an ocean Only then can this flower grow further I have planted a seed And all of us need to fertilize To water our seed For a Village to grow For us to grow in this village The village of love will be our face our reflection Where love is creation And creation is love where Your growth Is ours........ Sorry....about the autobiography.......... Maybe tomorrow................. I leave you my Dream And here is the story:As a child in Holland he performed in Dutch radio shows with great success.
