Streets was a local band formed in the beginning 1982, when the two rival bands Prizoner and Pin-Up came together in the same room. Influenced by Thin Lizzy, they started writing symphonic rocksongs and played mainly in Purmerend, The Netherlands and around. The first gig was at the Hutspop festival on March 3, 1982. The band at this stage was Marcel Kapteijn on vocals and guitar, Niels Hermes on keyboards, Martin Boers on leadguitar, Ton Groen on bass and Joop van de Berg played the drums. In the summer of '82, Joop van de Berg was replaced by Wil Bouwes from Neon Graffiti. This would be the line-up until the break-up in 1987.
Niels Hermes also worked with Attie Bauw on the first single by Esther Amadea.
Their latest release was recorded in 2003

Ten Sharp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
talk or just say nothing, I don't mind your looks never lie.
I was always on the run, finding out what I was looking for and
I was always insecure, just until I found
Words often don't come easy, I never loved to show you the inside of me oh no my
You were always patience, dragging out what I tried to hide
I was always insecure, just until I found
You you were always on my mind, you, you're the one I'm living for
You, you're my everlasting fire, you're my always shining star.
Nights always are good friends, a glass of wine and the lights down low.
You lying beside me, me full of love and filled with hope
I was always on the run, finding out what I was looking for and
I was always insecure, just until I found
You you were always on my mind, you, you're the one I'm living for
You, you're my everlasting fire, you're my always shining star.
Ten Sharp's song "You" is a love song that expresses the singer's admiration and love for their partner. The first verse of the song expresses the singer's contentment as long as their partner is by their side. They do not mind the silence or the conversation as long as they are together, potentially signifying the strength of their relationship. The lyrics "talk or just say nothing, I don't mind" suggest that the singer values the presence of their partner more than their words or their actions. The second line of the verse "I don't mind your looks never lie" could also imply that the singer accepts and loves their partner for who they are, without the need for pretense or putting up a facade.
The second verse of the song expresses the singer's difficulty with expressing their feelings towards their partner. The line "words often don't come easy, I never loved to show you the inside of me oh no" could suggest that the singer has a hard time opening up emotionally. However, the following line "you were always patience, dragging out what I tried to hide" implies that the partner is understanding and accepting of the singer's emotional struggles. The repeated phrases "I was always on the run, finding out what I was looking for and I was always insecure, just until I found you" show how the singer was lost and seeking something until they found their partner.
The chorus of the song focuses on the endless love and admiration the singer has for their partner. They describe how their partner is always on their mind and that they are the one they are living for. The lines "you're my everlasting fire, you're my always shining star" suggest that the partner is a source of inspiration and warmth in the singer's life. The final verse of the song describes the comfort and happiness the couple finds in each other's company, specifically during intimate moments.

I did. I fell in love at 48, married on my 50th. Blissfully happy for 13 years until he passed suddenly last year. I wish we’d had longer but am grateful for those years together ❤
