Lucassen & Soeterboek's Plan Nine - Before The Morning Comes (Official Music Video)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- Official music video for Before The Morning Comes, the first track released on Lucassen & Soeterboek's Plan Nine album aptly named "The Long-Lost Songs".
As Robert and I sifted through our 30-year-old cassette tapes containing our demos, we stumbled upon a bluesy, unfinished piece featuring just my guitar and Robert's voice. I had completely forgotten about it, but felt it had the potential to be something special. I'm glad we pursued it, because it turned out to be one of the album's highlights!
Robert was actually quite ill when he recorded it, the raw pain in his voice is palpable, but that really works for this song.Given the positive reception from everyone we played the song for, we chose this track as the first single and the basis for our video clip.
The concept is straightforward: a sleazy, smoky bar with a band performing, surrounded by a crowd of utterly disinterested people, essentially ignoring the band. And what an exceptional band it is - I'm incredibly proud of these musicians! And yes, those are indeed Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jimi Hendrix posters on the wall - that's no coincidence!
Hope you enjoy,!
Arjen and Robert

LYRICS:
Times are a-changing, nothing stays the same
We used to be lovers, used to share a name
Words have left me and tears are in vain
The days pass me by, I don’t even feel pain
Nowhere to hide, no place to go
Days getting darker, and the nights so cold
No will to fight, in a world without love
I will be gone, before the morning comes
Shadows in the darkness, a heart cold as ice
The roar of silence, echoes of lies
Rooms are empty, walls are closing in
No hope for the heartless, what a fool I’ve been
Nowhere to hide, no place to go
Days getting darker, and the nights so cold
No will to fight, in a world without love
I will be gone, before the morning comes
Nowhere to hide, no place to go
Days getting darker, and the nights so cold
No will to fight, in a world without love
I will be gone, before the morning comes
I will be gone, before the morning comes
No will to fight, I will be gone,
before the morning comes

Mr Lucassen, you are clearly a modern day Renaissance Man! The mastermind behind numerous musical journeys. First ballot Hall of Fame. Keep up the fantastic work!💗
Bluesy guitar & Joost on Hammond - superb vocals - can’t wait to hear it all ❤️
This reminds me of the Deep Purple days during Burn and Stormbringer in the Seventies. Great performance, great song and nice video. Thanks Arjen.
This! And I just love it. ❤
I totally agree. It has a lot of Deep Purple "Burn" flavor and it sounds like Jon Lord himself is playing that old Hammond.
The guitar playing is more Bernie Marsden than Blackmore so I'm going to say this in more Whitesnake MK1 than DP Mk3.
When you say it, yeah. However, my first thought was John Campbell (i.e. One Believer) although the feel was a bit more bluesy.
Well, it reminds me of the Final experiment album :) and that’s a very good thing :)
Well thank you all for the nice words.
I hope you will like the album.
Greetings
Robert
GrOssartiger Song und tolle Musiker! Danke an Arjen und Robert! Freu mich auf Plan9!😎💪🏻
Marcel Singor is fantastic! Shredders usually sound fake doing bluesy stuff, but he sounds amazing on both. Glad to hear he's a part of this project
I totally agree with you, Daniel, Marcel is one of the best. And so distinguishable!
He is, and i had a change to talk with him, he's a nice guy too (from my town)
Mais um grande projeto e Arjen surpreende como sempre. Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷
Goosebumps and tears of joy....this happens when the mastermind and his accomplices have completed their work.......LOVE IT
Haha, thanks for the big compliment, Rainer! Glad you enjoy.
Really good song ! What a pleasure to see Robert in the spotlight. He is unfortunately underestimated. What a voice !
True that. He should be S.T.A.R. (in my book he is star forever since I first saw Star One - Live on Earth)
Bless you and thank you for the nice words.
Hope you will like the rest of the songs.
Greetings,
Robert Soeterboek
Thanks! yes, even after all these years Robert managed to impress me once again.
@autumn_rain Agreed! loved him ever since that Star One live show
I love it! Thank you Arjen (and Rob) for putting out another stellar song. I can’t wait for the album. I appreciate you! ❤
Thank you so much
Hope you love the album🤘
Greetings,
Robert
Thanks Ryan, hope you will enjoy the rest of the track as well!
This is absolutely gorgeos!!! The vocals, the visual, the music and that guitar solo... Blowing me away
Thank you for your kind words.
Hope you love the album.
Greetings,
Robert Soeterboek

people !! learn it now
🤟 is the “I Love You Hand Sign” emoji (the fingers kind of spell out ILY)
🤘 is the “Sign of the Horns” emoji, it is used for heavy metal and rock bands and such, like “rock on”
You're welcome! Love the purple blessings 🙂
Wow!!! Just Wow
Hey that's some good work right there Robert and team. I enjoyed it muchly!
Power ballad, with a Deep Purple Coverdale era vibe, doesn't get much better than this! Glad you and Robert rescued the lost songs from the archives, this one's a definite favorite from the new Plan 9 album! 😎🎸🎤🤘🔥
Great performance, guys. This's real rock! 🤘
Goosebumps all over again! This was really such a great concert and adventure!
💛ly! Goose bumps! 🤘

Thanks, my young friend! You're very welcome 🙂
Another amazing tune! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great song and video, gives an old movie vibe! Looking forward to the rest!
Simply beautiful❤. Seems crazy how refreshing it's a song with such an ol' bluesy vibe nowadays. Congrats!!! Looking forward to hearing more from your 'Plan 9' a.s.a.p.
Greatness once again👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a great song! Promising for the album! Bring it on!

Gänsehaut überall.....wieder ein Meisterwerk . Ich liebe den Gesang von Robert . Vielen Dank dafür
Thank you Jorg 🙏
Danke Jorg, ich liebe seine Stimme auch!
This is awesome! Cheers from Brasil
There are so many things to love about this! Another unique Arjen project, Robert's amazing voice, the musicians and their music, the video being directed by Blackbriar. The one thing I can take pride in for being Dutch; the terrific musical artists it brings forth.
Thanks for your inspiring words, hugs from Holland!
What a great song and absolutely fabulous band.
This is great, thank you for all the music!
Another amazing job! I couldn't expect less 🤘🏼
Wow!! Love this!!
Great song and fun to see all on a small stage . Greetings from Sweden
Great song. Can't wait for the album.
Oh…this is SO nice! Love it!
Hi guys, a 74 years old hippie from the Netherlands (Arjen, Floor, Irene, Simone, Anneke, etc...country) reporting in: Another incredible new item on the, already overloaded, Menu of the "A.A.L. & Friends Musical Restaurant" ...!!!
Shine on my friends,🤘

That's good news, Alexander, enjoy your meal!
Thanks, peace to you my friend ...!!!✌@@ArjenALucassen
Thanks my friend, I'm ready to order my next meal ...!!! Peace ✌@@ArjenALucassen
First time listening....wow this is so good, the hammond is delicious and the guitar is so bluesy yet modern, nice singer...will be checking out the rest🤘
Such a magical sound, it is lovely to hear your music with Roberts epic voice!
thank you very much ,
Hope you love the album 🙏
Thanks, glad to be of service!
I love how everyone's swaying soulfully to the bluesey melody and there's that one guy on the guitar doing his "Full Body Rocking Bobblehead" play style :-)
Haha, somehow I get the feeling you're talking about yours truly :-) Yeah, hard to stand still!
A sound that could headline every House of Blues Worldwide !!!! Nice to see something very different from Arlen and Robert !!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love the compliment, Robert! And yes, expect something different every time 🙂
This is great ❤. Goosebumps all over 👍
This is awesome, another masterpiece!
Absolutely great song. Arjen killing it again! 🙌
Wahoooo!!! Love every second! Bring on the album!!!
That's a good start, thanks! Coming up!
So sorry I couldn't make the live premier, but WOWWWW!! You guys hit this one out of the park!! Robert & Arjen, a match made in heaven! And seeing a few of my favs on the stage... and did I see Maggie in the audience? IT'S A HIT! MORE!!!
Thanks Ana! Oh no, if Maggy would have been in the audience we would have dragged her on stage 🙂
I love it.... !!
real quality music !
Beautiful song, soulful, emotional 🤘
Love it. Stunning performances as always.
Good idea to recover the song from the chest. It is a pleasure to liste to it.
Good to see Robert killing it, I really loved his performance in the Live On Earth for Star One.
I love the swing ❤
I can't wait! Look already incredible!🤩
Can't wait either, Lou, glad you enjoy it so far!
@@ArjenALucassen Absolutely wonderful!
Wonderful song
Another gorgeous track from our favorite music wizard! Whether it's pop, classical, prog, metal, electronic, or any other genre (even blues!), Maestro Arjen Lucassen can certainly craft a song to fit the style and tone desired ❤
Thanks my dear Gunel, extra hugs for you as always! Disco song next. (No, not really).
Pure perfection! Loving every nano-particle! Sorta like walking up to the alter of music heaven. Too original to compare, however, my *sound - buds* detect occasional Jim Morrison - Blue Sunday and Deep Purple - Don’t Make Me Happy… Best be on my way X
Wow. Whatever style you tackle you nail it big time.
As always, knocked it out of the ball park.
Beautiful.
Wow... thanks for the big compliment, Mike. Reggae song next. Just kidding 🙂
Oh Wow! I love it! 😍
Gorgeus, stunning and PERFECT song and video! Thanks you so much Arjen and his "dream team"! I can´t breath really!... 😜🤘💯❤
You're very welcome, Alfredo, thanks for your kind words! Start breathing now 🙂
THIS IS SO GOOD! LOVE IT ARJEN AND THANKS FOR ALL THE MUSIC YOU Blesses us with!!!😍🙏🙏🙏
Thanks, you're very welcome!
As a fan of Ayreon (especially the heavier stuff) I was not expecting to like this, but somehow it captivated me. Also, Jane and Irene brought just that extra oomph for me to get goosebumps when they sung the backing vocal or "choir" parts! Nice!
Expect the unexpected I guess! Thanks for having an open mind.
Wonderful! 🤘
Thank you for awesome music, great stuff! Greetings from Finland!
Kiitos, Jaakko!
Very nice bluesy song. I enjoy Robert's voice pretty much here !! I like the deep soft tone he's using. Nice to hear Joost again on Hammond ! Good guitar solo as well (this guy isn not a bluesman, I hear it ;o) ) . Plus I can easily sing along to this... an octave below. ;o)
This line up is fire! 🔥
Agreed, proud of them all! Thanks 🙂
Toujours insolents de talents nos amis Néerlandais ❤ 🤩❤️
Thanks 🙏
Merci Eric, très appréciée!
beautiful blues, thankyou
I must say that previous project was not my cup of tea, but here I hear something which once again knocks to my heart. Deep Purple vibe! Marvelous!
Thanks! Oh yes, Purple is never far away 🙂
Beautiful! ❤️
This is fantastic. Top notch grade A goodness
Fantástico Song 🎉
This is definitely the best way to start a new year! Thank you for this masterpiece master! Greetings from Brazil!!!! 🤠🤘♥️
🙏Bless you,
Thanks for your nice comment.
Hope you like the album
Robert Soeterboek
You're very welcome, Nathalia, happy 2024!
Essential to have at least one Jansen sister aboard! 😋 ❤️ 🤘
Haha, for sure! Totally agreed 🙂
Just went and ordered my vinyl copy 🤘🔥🤘
This song is a masterpiece! Thank you Arjen and other folks for the great music!
Looking forward to that ;)
I love Robert's voice, I didn't know this was coming. Hoping there's heavier songs too.
Thank you my friend,
Hope you like the rest of the album .
Definitely heavier songs as well, let us know what you think!
Querido Arjen todo lo que haces está perfectamente bien. Amarlos por y para siempre Arjen, Robert,Joost,Irene y proyecto. ❤
Wow ! Awesome tune !!!
I hear pure professionalism in a catchy tune, well constructed and played. And also a pastiche, respectfully done but also with humour ticking off the stereotypes... love the Fisherman's Friend moment those two cowboys experience.
So beauty, stereotypes and fun in a nice production.
Wow... thanks for your inspiring words, Ben! I'm glad you noticed the tongue in cheek 🙂
Wow! Fantastic song by a fabulous group. Can't wait for the album.
Thank you my friend,
Yes the band is great to play with.
Greetings,
Robert
I've been playing this on repeat for hours. It's pure magic! Can't wait for the full record.
That's a good sign! Hope you'll enjoy the rest of the tracks as well.
Awesome Soet 👌….I still recall the original Plan 9 tapes of the 90’s very clearly….blew me away back then and happy to hear this new great stuff now….
Thanks! Yeah, so glad we've been able to release this songs after all.
Brilliant!!
😍🎵🎶 Increíble como siempre Arjen!! Saludos desde España!!
Gracias! Saludos desde Holanda.
Awesome! Makes a nice change to the usual heavy stuff
My thoughts exactly, Rich! There will be usual heavy stuff though, haha!
Been so hyped! Can’t wait for the full album!
Can't wait to share it either, but we have to be patient! Thanks 🙂
What an absolute gem!
Singer and his volcalmelodies reminds me of JB from Grand Magus from the Theory of Everthing record. Same Bluesy Voice and vocallines. Somewhere you have always this little Ayreon Touch. Most in the melodies. Thats what i call a Signature Sound. Thanks Arjen. Different but good. \m/
In an uncertain world you can always be certain that Arjen will release something outstandingly amazing
Wow... thanks for the confidence! I accept your challenge 🙂
Luv It!!!
Perfect track ...
I think all the band is very talented, excepting the tallest Guy, i dont think he could produce any interesting material in his entire life... 😉 Really happy that Marcel Singor being part of this project because i really love his style, and for proof, it's a master pièce. Thx Arjen.
I agree, Olivier, why did they let that tall dude up on stage? Especially with an amazing guitar player like Marcel next to him!
Phenomenal! As always!!! The amount of talent that this video includes is at least to say illegal! ❤💥
Haha, I know! So honored to be among them 🙂
Love it! 😁❤
This has a very Gary Moore vibe. Reminds me of “Still Got the Blues.” Thank you, Arjen!
Wow, I love this.
ARRGHHHH IMPRESIONANTE 👏🏻!!! One more and more and more and more time GRACIÑAS. A new project arriving😃... I hope soon please!!! 🤘☠️
Thanks! New video and track in March :-)
Wat een heerlijk nummer, dankjewel aan alle muzikanten voor alweer een fijn nummer. Beetje 80's nederhardrock flashback hiero.
Bedankt Eduard, graag gedaan! Ja, dat zou goed kunnen 🙂
Dang!! This is awesome. What a groove and the depth of emotion in those vocals. Brilliant.
Thanks! yeah, he was quite sick that day, I guess that really helped.
