Bella (Jochem solo)

Описание: I wrote this song a few days before the due date of our daughter, Bella. I already love you more than anything! 🤍

I borrowed the piano part from my main inspirator Andrew McMahon (Jack's Mannequin - There There Katie). Besides Andrew, I would like to thank Sem Jonkhout for finishing the lyrics with me, Bjørgen van Essen for producing the record, Polle van Genechten for recording the piano, Jarno de Vries for arranging the strings and Bram de Wijs for recording and editing the video. And of course Noémi, I literally couldn't have done this without you. 😉 You're the strongest, I love you!

Bella, I can’t wait to meet you
And hold you in my arms for the very first time
I hope you’ll have your mothers loving eyes
So colourful and kind

Bella, it can be a strange world
But in the end love will overcome
And there will be some dark days
But for me the light has always won

Oh Bella, let me sing you to sleep
Tomorrow an adventure awaits us
Oh Bella, sure you’ll keep me from sleep
But I’ll be there

It hurts so much to tell you
That you will never get to meet my old man
To raise you as he raised me
I'll do the best I can

Your mother is the strongest 
The strongest woman I’ve ever known
Some days her head gets foggy 
But I know that we’ll make her glow

Oh Bella, let me sing you to sleep
Tomorrow an adventure awaits us
Oh Bella, sure you’ll keep me from sleep
And that’s just perfectly fine

Oh Bella, let me sing you to sleep
Just know I’ll always keep you safe
Oh Bella, sure you’ll keep me from sleep
But I’ll be there

I will be there for it all
I will be there for it all
I will be there when you fall
Into my arms

Oh Bella, let me sing you to sleep
Tomorrow an adventure awaits us
Oh Bella, sure you’ll keep me from sleep
And that’s just perfectly fine

Oh Bella, let me sing you to sleep
Just know I’ll always keep you safe
Oh Bella, sure you’ll keep me from sleep
But I’ll be there
