Anne Soldaat (1965) is a Dutch guitarist, singer and songwriter.
Hi… Read Full Bio ↴Anne Soldaat (1965) is a Dutch guitarist, singer and songwriter.
His career started around 1990 in the band Daryll-Ann, in which singer Jelle Paulusma and Soldaat wrote the music and lyrics. Having released six studio albums and one live-album, Daryll-Ann split up in 2004.
In 2005 Soldaat contributed songs to The Cat-A-Day Tales project: a book (story: Aletta Schreuders, drawings: Herwolt van Doornen), accompanied by a 'soundtrack CD'.
Soldaat re-emerged in 2007 with the self-titled album of a new band, Do The Undo (also spelled as Do-The-Undo). The album was, effectively, a solo album. Soldaat has, in later years, called Do-The-Undo a 'silly name'. In 2018 he decided to list the album under Anne Soldaat on Spotify, thereby turning Do-The Undo into an album title and making it, effectively, the first Anne Soldaat solo album.
April 2009 saw the release of In Another Life, Anne Soldaat's first album under his own name, to overwhelming critical acclaim. Soldaat recorded the album with American singer/songwriter - and in this case producer and studio musician - Jason Falkner.
Anne Soldaat tours with his own Anne Soldaat Band, but also as the guitarist in the band of singer/songwriter and labelmate Tim Knol. He wrote music for 'Zout' ('Salt'), a dance theatre show by Rotterdam's Conny Janssen Danst before releasing his second, self-titled album, Anne Soldaat (2012), which was once again recorded in Los Angeles with Jason Falkner.
After a lengthy and highly succesful Daryll-Ann reunion tour in 2014 Soldaat recorded his third solo album in Amsterdam. Talks Little, Kills Many saw the light of day in April 2015 and showcases Soldaat's acoustic, singer-songwriter side.
2018 and 2019 saw the release of two 'Unsung Heroes' covers albums by Anne Soldaat & Yorick van Norden. During the Covid-19 pandemic Soldaat finalized his fifth solo LP: Facts & Fears was released in 2021 to rave reviews in the Dutch music press.

You're Hard to Find
Anne Soldaat Lyrics
every single day
my hopes are high
still I never had a job
that could satisfy
I don't know how to use
my feeble hands
now the one thing I have
is common sense
oh, don't mistake me for a star
I'm just a fraud who will go far
and your money is on my mind
oh but man, you're hard to find
every single night
I stay up late
and I take a lot a pills
just to concentrate
on the feelings that I have
I feel so great
until the morning comes
they slip my brain
oh, don't mistake me for a star
I'm just a fraud who will go far
and my brain's inside your mind
you're deaf, dumb and blind
I crawl around the floor
and pull my strings
I'm thinking really hard
bout the words to sing
but most of what I say
has been said before
but the people don't mind
they just want more and more
so I give them all they need
cause I'm a prophet and a cheat
all my tales of love and pain
and how we're humans, we're all the same
I know exactly how to play
and honey, you're gonna pay
my hopes are high
still I never had a job
that could satisfy
I don't know how to use
my feeble hands
now the one thing I have
is common sense
I'm just a fraud who will go far
and your money is on my mind
oh but man, you're hard to find
every single night
I stay up late
and I take a lot a pills
just to concentrate
on the feelings that I have
I feel so great
until the morning comes
they slip my brain
oh, don't mistake me for a star
I'm just a fraud who will go far
and my brain's inside your mind
you're deaf, dumb and blind
I crawl around the floor
and pull my strings
I'm thinking really hard
bout the words to sing
but most of what I say
has been said before
but the people don't mind
they just want more and more
so I give them all they need
cause I'm a prophet and a cheat
all my tales of love and pain
and how we're humans, we're all the same
I know exactly how to play
and honey, you're gonna pay
