Michel Van Dyke is one of the finest songwriters here in Germany. Born In Noorwykerhout, Netherlands, he moved at the age of 12 1973 to Hamburg (Germany) and studied design and art. Until 1996 he only wrote lyrics English language based. Michel Van Dyke got in contact with Echt and wrote most of the tracks of their first two LPs. That's where he change the language to German. But I choose a track from his debut LP that sometimes reminds me of The Beatles. Who is the "Sweet German Girl"? Was the "German Girl" by The Lotus Eaters the same girl? "Sweet German Girl" sounds a little bit like a blueprint for chart topper Daniel Bedingfield's "If You're Not The One" (but hear for yourself).
