O Focus é uma banda de rock progressivo dos Países Baixos fundada em 1969 pelo organista e flautista Thijs van Leer. Foi para muitos a melhor banda dos Países Baixos nos anos 70. Mas as qualidades da banda foram muito mais significantes. Suas extensas e quase exclusivas composições instrumentais e improvisações continham várias referências à música erudita. Um exemplo é a referência a ópera de Monteverdi na canção Eruption, do álbum Moving Waves.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
BmAFC Step off into the sun, feel the blood through your run,
AmDEm On a once in a life mescaline.
Have a nightmare life long, live it through, (Taste the beauty of a sweet red wine), Grab for air, see your skin turning blue, (Smell the freshness of the grass beneath the pines). There's a man with three heads, There's a girl with three beds, See they're both running fast after me, (Gonna catch you, gonna fill you full of love).
---Here it modulates up 1/2 step, so you can either quickly put a capo on the 1st fret play the same as above, or play the following chords---
BbmEbFm Have your head filled to the top with big pearls, (Feel the softness of a wild mountain silk),
AbBbCsus4C Then you hear someone's dead in the world, (Sink your body in a cold bath of milk)
CmBb You can bet your sweet life
GbDb That they fought with a knife,
BbmDFm See they're all running fast after me, (Wanna kiss you, run their fingers through your hair).
Get a feeling deep inside that you're dead, (Can't you hear the clock of life ticking loud?), Try to run from the snake pit in your bed, (Then you find what you thought could not be found). Smell the nearness of the grave, Wonder if you can be saved, Oh the world's still running fast after me, (When they get you, gonna give you everything).
