Supergirl - Snippet
BY BART VONCKEN
At the age of 17 (2001) Bart was one of the contestants in the first ever tv-talentshow in the Netherlands (it was even before idols). 12 singers lived in a big-brother-like house, being watched 24/7 for 12 weeks. The director of the show decided to broadcast a moment where Bart was playing Supergirl, a song by the German band Raemonn. That one moment launched the original song into the charts, resulting in it being one of the most played songs on the radio that year. This is a new version Bart made recently for a big reunion show in the Heineken Music Hall of the pop group K-otic, fifteen years after the tv-show.

We Are One - Snippet

'We are one' is a project Bart started together with film producer Dania Lopies for 3FM Serious Request in 2015.

Broken Heart - Snippet
BY BART VONCKEN & ELKSE DEWALL
She's his favourite female singer in the Netherlands. By far! So when he asked Elske DeWall if she would join him on this duet, he was over the moon when she said yes! It's his personal favourite on the Growing Old EP. This heart breaking song is about the vicious circle people get into when a relationship approaches the end, but the inability to let go keeps postponing the inevitable.

Basically - Snippet
BY ARTIST NAME
When you feel like everything has fallen apart, when you really hit rock bottom..... the only way is up! Look at things from another perspective. And if can't do it on your own, ask someone who cares for you. Things will get better!

Die For This - Snippet
BY ARTIST NAME
When the thing you always dreamed of turns out to be a nightmare. We are never sure of what it's going to be like, until we've reached the goal we were aiming for. "I always said I'd die for this, but now I'm dying becáuse of this."

Love you 'till I die - snippet
BY BART VONCKEN
The title of this song seems to say it all. And it probably does when you listen to the full lyric. But if you think this song was a wedding proposal you are wrong. Just like 'Growing Old' this song is much more about the true realisation of having made a connection for life, then about making a connection through a ceremonial event.
