Langstraat crowded his living room with electric and acoustic pianos, a Moog synthesizer, organs, drums, clarinets, saxophones, and started to record his dreamy compositions on a 4 track tape recorder. When he shared his work with his bandmates, they ridiculed him to the point where he wrote the song “You Need to Cry”, while wallowing in his loneliness. The music was left unreleased until just a few years ago in 2019, when Lagstraat was 79. Searching is filled with favorites but a few must-mentions include A2 In the Middle of the Night, an upbeat tune with brilliant piano and synth melodies that layer to create a stunning sonic landscape, and B1 I’m Ready For Dancing, which features a four-to-the-floor dance beat and perfectly captures the mood of the quote provided by label South of North: “I first met Ronald when he was dancing, on his own, on an empty dance floor, playing air percussion…”

on You Need to Cry
Misunderstanding in this world
People are hurting one another
I'm just a man with nothing else
But music, oh sweet music
I love to sing this melody
I love the rain talk to you
And you will feel a sweet sensation
That makes you cry
Well cry on, it does you good
So cry on, you're in the mood
Maybe it makes you feel better
You need to cry to live before you die
There's so much wrong, there’s so much pain
Its only music that can make you sing
And when you’re down, Let the music take you free
It's made for you and me
