This music video was filmed in 1994 during my family's holiday to Disneyland Paris. The camera was mostly used by my father Gerard and in some shots by my mother Trudy. The music video was edited by me, but the TV effect was added by Eva Kröse.

Golden Pictures is a song about the last serious conversation I had with my father while we were looking through old photo albums. Pictures reveal our fondest memories, but ultimately we should not get lost in the past, but focus on the future. These were his last words of wisdom. It is an expression of raw emotion and an ode to my father Gerard. This is the second single of my piano pop album "The Sweet Invasion," which is inspired by the 70s sound of artists like Randy Newman and Billy Joel.

Lyrics:

If a boy has his father half his life
He'll regret the choices he made
About time that he spent away from home
Though his dad told him not to wait

Go out son, you'll find your own way
Cause happiness ain't here
I wish that I were younger
Stop wasting every year

Golden pictures show a memory of our smiles
While the future keeps on giving us a good reason to survive
Golden pictures take us back to where we're from
But it's more about the little things that are still about to come

Mark my words when I ain't around no more
I'll be gone when you think of me
When the past runs in circles through your mind
You will know where you need to be

Cause I'm part of who you are now
And that's why you need to see
That memories are forever
But the future sets you free

Golden pictures show a memory of our smiles
While the future keeps on giving us a good reason to survive
Golden pictures take us back to where we're from
But it's more about the little things that are still about to come

Golden pictures show a memory of our smiles
While the future keeps on giving us all the reasons to survive
Golden pictures take us back to where we're from
But it's more about the little things that are still about to come
