The band members are: singer/guitarist Tjeerd Bomhof, bass player Sven Woodside and drummer Joppe Molenaar.
Support from influential Dutch media outlet 3Voor12 and The Dutch Pop Institute led the band to a slot at Lowlands, the huge Dutch festival, and also netted Voicst their first appearance at the New Yorks CMJ Music Conference. For three consecutive years they have played the Noorderslag music conference in Holland and toured Benelux with the likes of Bettie Serveert, Nada Surf, and Tenacious D.
In 2003 the band released their first recording: the six-song EP "Eat The Evidence" - to critical acclaim. While in New York in the summer of 2004 the band hooked up with producer and Girls Against Boys alumni, Eli Janney (The Rapture, Secret Machines) to record their first full-length album; 11-11. The album was mixed by Victor Van Vugt (Athlete, PJ Harvey, Beth Orton, Nick Cave) and released in Europe on the bands own label DuurtLang Records (A Dutch word which aptly translates to takes a long time)
Airplay on MTV Europe, Dutch radio, and at key US radio outlets joins critical accolades for Whatever You Want From Life
3Voor12 recently named 11-11 Album of the Year, and Joppe was voted Drummer of the Year by his peers. Recently Voicst has been touring throughout Europe and North America, playing at festivals including Rock in Idro (Italy), Popkomm (Berlin), Benicassim (Spain), SXSW (Austin, TX) and supporting bands like The Bravery, The Posies and Millionaire.
The follow up of 11-11 is released on the 11th of January 2008 and is called, "A Tale of Two Devils". Some new songs such as, "Mixed Words", "High As An Amsterdam Tourist", "Everyday I Work On The Road" and "A Year And a Bit" have been made available for listening on the bands myspace , hyves and official Website.
Feel Like A Rocket
Voicst Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I miss your soul
All on my steps
And on her toes
She´s like a comet
Nowadays
Maybe the facts
She finally space
Based on silhouettes
A piece of advice
I can´t forget
What it is, I tell you what is is.
Been to easy been too slow
What it is, I love you cause it's dark
And I cannot accept that I cannot explode
I feel like a rocket
She misses your soul
There´s a new comet
Comes and goes
I try to allow the chemistry
Make room for more
Than the strungin tree
Runnin over me feelin so much better
Than runnin overseas
Feel like me
Comin from the years
Spending so much faster now started out to care
I feel like
Tell you what it is, I tell you what is is.
Been to easy, been too slow
What it is I love you cause it's dark
And I cannot accept that I cannot explode
To the pressure over lies
Everything is all red, allright
Keep throwing those bitch into the shores
Always so good to me
Quiet eyes on her smiles
Make my day all red, allright
Keep throwing those bitch into the shores
Always so good to me
Always so good to me
The song "Feel Like A Rocket" by Voicst is a love song with a sense of longing for someone who seems to have disappeared or moved on. The opening line, "I feel like a rocket," suggests a feeling of excitement and potential, but the next line, "I miss your soul," shows that the excitement is tempered by a sense of loss or sadness. The line "All on my steps and on her toes" implies that there was some kind of conflict or tension with the person being addressed. The next line, "She's like a comet nowadays," may refer to someone else who has caught the singer's attention, but the line "Maybe the facts she finally space" suggests that this new person may not be as tangible or reachable as the original love interest.
The chorus, "Tell you what it is, I tell you what is is, Been to easy been too slow, what it is, I love you cause it's dark, And I cannot accept that I cannot explode," emphasizes the sense of frustration and yearning that runs through the song. The repeated line "Always so good to me" could suggest that the singer is reflecting on past relationships and finding comfort in memories, but the repetition could also imply that there is a sense of emptiness or routine in these memories.
Overall, "Feel Like A Rocket" conveys a mix of excitement and longing, with the singer hoping to find someone who can fulfill their desire for passion and spark.
Line by Line Meaning
I feel like a rocket
I feel like I'm exploding with energy and excitement
I miss your soul
I miss the connection I had with you on a deeper level
All on my steps
Everywhere I go, I'm reminded of you
And on her toes
She's always on edge, waiting for something to happen
She's like a comet
She's a burst of energy that comes and goes quickly
Nowadays, maybe the facts
These days, I'm more focused on reality and the truth
She finally space
She's finally able to find her own place in the world
Now what you have, based on silhouettes
What you see isn't always what you get, sometimes things are just shadows
A piece of advice I can't forget
Someone once gave me advice that I can't shake from my mind
What it is, I tell you what is is.
I'll tell you exactly what's going on
Been too easy been too slow
Things have been too simple and slow-paced for too long
What it is, I love you cause it's dark
What's really going on is that I love you in the darkness, in the unknown
And I cannot accept that I cannot explode
I can't handle the idea of not being able to burst forth with energy and excitement
There's a new comet comes and goes
There's something new and exciting that's only around briefly
I try to allow the chemistry
I'm trying to let things happen naturally and not force them
Make room for more than the strungin tree
I'm trying to see things beyond what's right in front of me
Runnin over me feelin so much better
These things that are happening to me are overwhelming, but they feel good
Than runnin overseas
It's better than escaping to some far-off place
Feel like me
I feel like I'm truly myself
Comin from the years
I'm coming from a long history of experiences
Spending so much faster now started out to care
Time seems to be passing quickly now that I'm invested in something
To the pressure over lies
I'm feeling the pressure from all the things that aren't true or real
Everything is all red, allright
Everything is a bit intense, but it's okay
Keep throwing those bitch into the shores
I keep trying to let go of the things that aren't important
Always so good to me, quiet eyes on her smiles
It's always nice to have someone quiet and comforting around
Make my day all red, allright
They bring a bit of intensity to my day
Always so good to me
They're always a positive presence in my life

the first time I heard Voicst was about three years ago, when a friend of mine showed one of their songs casually. I started to listen and discover more of their music and I actually fell in love with it pretty quickly. but for some reason, their songs - specially this one - manage to ALWAYS cheer me up almost instantly. three years later, and I still can’t get enough of this.
