Luka van den Driesschen, a charismatic 80-year-old artist of life, has lived a remarkable and eventful life that continues to inspire many. As a writer, singer, and storyteller, he uniquely connects with people, touching them with his profound life lessons and music. Through his music and words, Luka takes his audience on a journey through decades of extraordinary experiences, deep insights, and universal themes such as resilience and connection.
In close collaboration with Richard Poot, producer and owner of Pro Music Studio in Eemnes, Luka has composed and recorded numerous beautiful songs. While many of these songs are his own creations, one holds a special place in his heart: Hurt. Originally written by Trent Reznor and made famous by Johnny Cash, this song reflects Luka’s challenging life journey. The emotional depth of the song resonated so strongly with him that he decided to record it himself.
For this unique recording, Richard Poot brought together a talented team of musicians: Frank Stukker on guitar, Xander Buvelot on bass guitar, Dave van Beek on drums, Richard Poot on keyboard, and the exquisite backing vocals of Gaby Kaihatu. The arrangement was meticulously crafted, resulting in an impressive rendition that perfectly conveys Luka’s personal story and emotional connection. This performance not only tells Luka’s story but also touches upon universal emotions that resonate with many.
The accompanying music video, directed by creative film director Marc Albert, is a subtle yet powerful visual interpretation of the song. The imagery amplifies the emotional weight of Hurt, leaving a profound impact on the audience. Luka van den Driesschen symbolizes a life full of resilience, creativity, and inspiration. His life’s work – his music, stories, and wisdom – is a gift to the world, a legacy that invites people to reflect on what truly matters and to seek connection, both with themselves and with others.
With this remarkable production, Luka once again shares his unique vision and experiences, inviting others to be inspired by his journey.
