2. Cyril Havermans is a Dutch musician, best known for being in the progressive rock band, Focus.
Life
Cyril Havermans, using the stage name Carel Hagemans, was bassist and vocalist for a number of Dutch pop bands in the 1960s: Peter and the Beats (1965-66), The Heralds (1966-67), Spacial Concept (1967-68), and Big Wheel (1968-1969). In 1969 he began to perform as Cyriel Havermans in live concerts in the Netherlands with members of the nascent Focus (Thijs van Leer, Martijn Dresden, and Hans Cleuver) as his backing band.
His tenure as bassist with the progressive rock band Focus lasted from late 1970 until September, 1971 during which time he played many live concerts with the group and recorded "Moving Waves". In 1971 this LP won the Edison award, the Dutch equivalent to the Grammy, for best album of the year. According to Melody Maker magazine, it reached #2 in the UK charts in 1973, and spawned "Hocus Pocus", a top ten hit single in the US, UK, and many other territories worldwide. Aside from Cyriel's plaintive, wordless wailing on "Pupillae" from the "Moving Waves" LP's sidelong "Eruption" suite, his vocal talents found no other outlet on this mostly instrumental album.
He left the band to pursue a solo career playing melodic, acoustic guitar music with English lyrics. At this time Cyril dropped the 'e' from his first name. An eponymous album was released in 1973 with musical support from his old Focus bandmates Jan Akkerman, Thijs van Leer, and Pierre van der Linden. A second album, "Mind Wave", followed in 1974, and Cyril's group was sometimes featured as an opening act for Focus' European concerts in 1975. He was a guest musician on Lucifer's "Margriet" album, released in 1977.
In 2007 Cyril sang and played bass guitar with ex-Brainbox members Kaz Lux and Rudi de Queljoe at the Blues and Roots Festival in Oosterhout, Netherlands.

The lyrics to Cyril's song "Escape" seem to revolve around the singer's determination to overcome the obstacles in their life and reach success, while also dealing with the pain and demons that come with it. The chorus repeats the sentiment of wanting to escape their current situation, to make their mother proud, and not lose the fight they're in. The rhyming and repetition throughout the song give it a strong and catchy hook that emphasizes the singer's determination and confidence.
Further, the lyrics also touch upon the singer's relationship and feelings towards their partner, with declarations of love and a desire for permanence. However, there seems to be some conflict with other "bitches steady hating," and the singer seems to feel like they need some space to make things happen for themselves.
Overall, the song is a message of perseverance through pain and obstacles, and the importance of personal happiness and success.
