The first single 'For you and me' (March 2004) immediately went up to #26 in the Pepsi Charts and as a result the song was played frequently on all the major radio stations. Apart from the radio attention, the band also appeared on national TV stations a lot. In the mean time the song has been featured on several compilations as Hitzone 27, Heaven Top 100 and a CD box of the worlds longest running radio show "Arbeidsvitaminen".
After this amazing kick-off, the band set out to play a lot and started to work on writing and preparing their debut album "Rebel in You" which was born November 2006. The album contains 14 tracks, produced by Stephen van Haestregt (drummer of the rock group Within Temptation). The record was released in Amsterdams Paradiso, Holland's most famous rock temple where the band, six months prior, was the opening act for Thin Lizzy. The first single "See You Again" made it to #30 in the Dutch top 100 and the album got several great reviews in the music media.
As we speak, the second single of the album, "Already over You" has been released and is getting airplay on all the national radio stations. During the rest of 2007 Yellow Pearl will continue to play all over the country and is hungrier then ever to share their music with everybody out there...
Reviews
MusicFrom.nl: This first born of Yellow Pearl, after four years of development, is as solid as a rock. The compositions are well written and it is very clear that this band musically has grown into a mature, consistent group.
Fret Magazine: Yellow Pearl and producer Stephen van Haestregt have succeeded in delivering a record with a lot of strong compositions. The album contains a few tracks with surprising intros and outros that are refreshing and exciting. Conclusion: a beautiful record with songs that almost surely will bring success for this group.
Platomania Magazine: Pijnaker has a great raspy voice and the keys oriented pop has gotten a major soul injection. Craftsmanship of a very promising new band.

For you and me
Yellow Pearl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it true what they say, it's love you're dying for
We used to fly every way, what are you hiding for
refrain:
'Cause over the mountains, there's a place by the sea
there still is some time, some time for you and me
they tell you it's over, but I don't agree
Well hello my old friend, I hear you cry no more
Are you running out of tears, this soul you're fighting for
We used to rime every word, but I can see it hurts
refrain
all you got to do, is look into my eyes, look into my eyes, and you'll
see I understand, I will help you out my friend
All you got to do, is look into my eyes, stop believing lies, not only
The wind cries, only the wind cries
refrain
The lyrics of "For You and Me" by Yellow Pearl convey a message of hope and the enduring strength of friendship. The song opens with the singer addressing an old friend who has stopped flying, with the suggestion that the reason might be a broken heart. The refrain encourages the friend that despite what others may say, there is still time to be free and happy. The second verse addresses the same friend, this time asking if they're running out of tears while they struggle with their inner demons. Again, the singer reinforces their steadfast support and understanding, asking the friend to look into their eyes to see the truth.
The lyrics paint a picture of a deep and caring friendship, with the singer providing emotional support and encouragement to their friend who is going through a difficult time. The song's message is one of hope, assuring the friend that there is still time for them to live a fulfilling life and that they don't have to listen to the naysayers who tell them it's over. With the focus on the power of friendship and understanding, "For You and Me" is an inspiring and moving song that reminds us of the importance of human connection.

Are the rumors correct, that you're seeking love but struggling to find it?
We used to fly every way, what are you hiding for
We once soared in all directions, why are you now concealing something?

Simply gaze into my eyes, and you'll comprehend that I empathize and I'll assist you, my comrade
All you got to do, is look into my eyes, stop believing lies, not only the wind cries, only the wind cries
Just look into my eyes, cease believing falsehoods, it's not just the wind that weeps, solely the wind cries

@robruitenberg4064
Couple of things and I know I’m right so don’t try to argue here should have been more high hat in the beginning secondly that solo ends too soon it’s about 2 or 3 notes short of a climax they could have blown it there it’s still a fucking awesome song love it I love it
