Improvisations by Henri van Zanten

In January 2007 Fuck the Writer was producing a few songs by copycat Akward I in the Medley & O.D. Studios. I was omnipresent as ‘nanny and nuisance’, making coffee and professional positive remarks. I had no choice,  because living in the same building.

After a week of highly concentrated creativity – yeah better than sex (lovesongs) – and with even a few songs written on the spot – the gentlemen concluded that their girlfriends respected their isolation with the muses. Then the phone rang. Awkward I dissappeared for half an hour and came back in a bad mood. Complaints and accusations the cause. Phone rang for Fuck the Writer. Same story.

I – having just escaped an attack of lovesickness ( and being bachelor !) tried to cheer them up with some wisecracks. Awkward I left the studio. FTW grabbed his guitar and commanded : “Sing whatever you want!” And so in one long musical copulation of pain with pleasure Hard on Love was born. This songbook is spot-on. The rest of the trouble taken was in vain. A blessing in disguise. How ironical !

Have a nice trip!
