Both met in the early 90’s when Rogier was the drummer in a rock band called Twist of Fate and the band needed a new guitar player. As the band broke up several years later Dennis and Rogier became more interested in different styles and genres. What started out as a fun project with no intentions, became more and more serious and soon Verbal Kint was founded. After searching for what musical direction to turn to, they decided they wanted to create a recognisable sound instead of being tied to a genre wich became clear in there first typical Verbal Kint song called Feel the Rhythm. This song became there signature track and was featured on the Ibiza Cool Jazz edition Vol. 2 in the summer of 2005.

After producing several tracks they wanted to try the tracks out on stage. The first live-set they did was on the Diesel Music Festival in 2003 and from here on the sound of Verbal Kint became clear and inspired by music from all over the world, there are no limtis to there productions. Groovy rhythms like Bossa-Nova and solid basslines are mixed and finished with a mix of electronic samples and live instruments.

In the end of 2005 they teamed up with Martin Schellens (who was the leadsinger of Twist of Fate) for a live-set at the introduction of a new cross-media magazine released by Dif-books, and after getting in touch with Hungarian female artist Judie Jay, they recorded two tracks together with Judie. Because these tracks got some really cool reactions, this coorperation will certainly continue. Break My Dreams the second track by Verbal Kint ft. Judie Jay was remixed by Dennis (Mr.-Koboyashi) and is released on Dutch Electro-House dance-label, Walnut Records (WALC004). Right now Dennis and Rogier are working in their studio on several new tracks with the intention to launch an album in the near future, and composing music for multimedia movies and TV shows. Besides the live performances they also work as DJ’s on various occasions.

Break My Dreams
Verbal Kint Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watch your ride

You've come and tell us the way we should
You fooled every man around the land
You think only words will change the world
You seem to know not the pathway of words

Who are you to tell me who I should be

Who are you to make me feel bad about myself
Why not take your desperate leave and disappear
Why must we all make the choices you've had

It's not as if you brought me change
Don't think your were my one embrace, one embrace
How can you live with yourself
When you only talk from defense

Who are you to tell me who I should be
Who are you to make me feel bad about myself
Why not take your desperate leave and disappear
Why must we all make the choices you've had

Why not take your desperate leave and disappear
Why must we all make the choices you've had

Overall Meaning

Verbal Kint's song "Break my dreams in 2" is a critique of people who think they have the right to tell others how to live their lives. The opening line, "Watch your ride," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's a warning to those who think they are in control, that they should be careful of their actions because they may cause harm to others. The lyrics go on to describe someone who "fools every man around the land" with their words, but who doesn't understand the power of those words. They think that words alone can change the world, but in reality, they need action to back them up.

The song then turns to the singer's personal experience with this person who is trying to tell them who to be. They ask, "Who are you to tell me who I should be?" and assert that this person doesn't have the right to make them feel bad about themselves. They suggest that this person should leave and disappear, and that they shouldn't force others to make the same choices they have made. The repetition of the line "Why must we all make the choices you've had" drives this point home.

The song's lyrics are a call to action for people to be true to themselves and not let others dictate their lives. It suggests that words without action are meaningless, and that true change comes from personal responsibility and choice. The song's powerful message is accompanied by a driving beat and intense vocals, making it a standout track on Verbal Kint's album.
