The band started in 1999 when 15 year old Jamie Westland (drums) asked his father Dick to help him set up a band. Three other teenagers joined him which are Tim Akkerman (vocals), Frans 'Spike' van Zoest (guitar and background vocals) and Bas van Wageningen (bass). The singer, Tim Akkerman was just 19, the guitar player and the drummer were only 15 years old at that time.
Within a few months Di-rect had completed a five track demo which included the song "Just the Way I Do". 3FM radio DJ Rob Stenders saw them play live and was impressed by them. He played a song from their demo on national radio. This generated considerable interest by record companies. Two months later Di-rect signed with Dino Music/EMI.

Two years later, they released a new album called "All Systems Go!". After releasing this album, Di-rect joined the MTV-program "RoadRally". After this show, the band almost broke up, but in 2007 they released their 4th album (nameless). The latest album is a live-album, recored in Diligentia in The Hague.
In 2008 and 2009, Di-rect toured with their new show named "Di-rect doet Tommy", a Dutch cover of the rock opera, written by Pete Townshend.

Inside My Head
Di-rect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'm better off without you
Is it cool enough to fake
'cause all that I've been breathing is about you
Is it wise enough to flow (flowing down)
From the head until my toes
But somehow I don't really know
Is it you inside my head
Is it you inside who says
That I'll become, someone else
And on and on my mind keeps saying
This is not what I believe in
This is where it ends
And on and on my mind's made up
And that is why it never stops
Alone again
Alone again
Is it you inside my head
Is it you inside who says
That I'll become, someone else
I didn't know that you're buzzing right through inside my head
I didn't know that you're coming right through inside my head
I didn't know that you're buzzing right through, no I
I didn't know that you're coming right through, no
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know
Tell me
Is it you inside my head
Is it you inside who says
Is it you inside my head
The lyrics of Di-rect's song "Inside My Head" reflect the internal struggle of a person who is trying to move on from a past love, but is constantly reminded of them through their thoughts. The opening lines of the song ask if it is wise or cool to pretend that the person is better off without their former lover, but in reality, they can't stop thinking about them. The singer wonders if it is their ex who still occupies their head, telling them that they need to change and become someone else.
The line "And on and on my mind keeps saying, this is not what I believe in, this is where it ends" suggests that the singer is trying to convince themselves to let go of their past love and move on. However, the chorus repeats the question of whether it is their ex who is still occupying their thoughts. The bridge of the song reveals that the person didn't even realize that their ex was still affecting them so much, "I didn't know that you're buzzing right through inside my head, I didn't know that you're coming right through inside my head."
Line by Line Meaning
Is it wise enough to say
Is it smart to express
That I'm better off without you
That my life would be better if you weren't a part of it
Is it cool enough to fake
Is it acceptable to pretend
'cause all that I've been breathing is about you
Because every breath I take is consumed by thoughts of you
Is it wise enough to flow (flowing down)
Is it a good idea to surrender (letting go)
From the head until my toes
From my mind to my physical being
But somehow I don't really know
But I'm unsure
All that I've been doing is without you
That I can function without you
Is it you inside my head
Are you the reason for my thoughts
Is it you inside who says
Are you the one controlling my mind
That I'll become, someone else
That I'll change as a person
And on and on my mind keeps saying
My thoughts are constant
This is not what I believe in
This isn't what I stand for
This is where it ends
This is the conclusion
And on and on my mind's made up
My decision is final
And that is why it never stops
And that's why my thoughts won't cease
Alone again
Once again by myself
I didn't know that you're buzzing right through inside my head
I didn't realize how much you were affecting me
I didn't know that you're coming right through inside my head
I didn't know you were getting inside my head
I didn't know that you're buzzing right through, no I
I didn't realize the extent to which you were on my mind
I didn't know that you're coming right through, no
I didn't know you were exerting such an influence over me
I didn't know
I was oblivious to it
Tell me
Inform me
Is it you inside my head
Are you the source of my thoughts
Is it you inside who says
Is it you who's controlling my mind
Is it you inside my head
Is it you who's inside my thoughts
