Art Of Empathy is a Belgian one man project founded by Jef Janssen. Its music can be described as a mixture between neofolk and darkwave: grounded on acoustic guitars, combined with dreamy or dark synths and whispering, haunting vocals. Sometimes dark romantic, sometimes apocalyptic. Always nature-loving, always driven by melancholy.
Art of Empathy is all about creating, beautiful, dreamy songs. But like with most art, there's a bit more. With certain spheres and stimuli Art Of Empathy tries to convince you to reflect about things. Because wondering can open doors. It can put things in a different light and break through conventions. It can recall that wonderful, innocent curiosity. It makes people think twice about senseless tv-messages, political evolutions, ecological disasters and absurd commercials.

Lyrics:
Good morning sick world
Here comes your sick servant
At the break of the day
And the break of the news
A struggle for life
And a meaning not present
It's a struggle so silly
When I am with you
Opgejaagd en voortgedreven
Gaan wij aan zoveel voorbij
Zoveel liefde, zoveel leven
Onze ziel leidt averij
Niet als mens nog gewaardeerd
Maar als koopkracht getaxeerd
Tot wij oud, terzijde leven
En de krachten ons begeven.
Good morning sick world
Here comes your sick servant
At the break of the day
And the break of the news
A struggle for life
And a meaning not present
It's a struggle so silly
When I am with you
Moe gedraafd en zin vergeten
Gaan wij langs de bulderbaan
Van het jagen om te weten
Of wij morgen nog bestaan
En zovelen zien ons aan
Wenken ons om stil te staan
Dat wij onze aandacht wijden
Aan wie door ons jagen lijden
Good morning sick world
Here comes your sick servant
At the break of the day
And the break of the news
A struggle for life
And a meaning not present
It's a struggle so silly
When I am with you
