    This is a Homage to the writer, painter, director and more Hugo Claus who died in 2008.
    I had the honour to met him once and I read his book `de Paliter`- my first flemish ever.
    He ended his life in 2008 - suffering of Alzheimer and Absynthe Minded made this beautiful song for him.
    You have to read to understand!
    They are all dressed in black because it funeral music for Hugo Claus.
    I want to have the same.

      Isn't 'de paliter' a book of Felix Timmermans and not Hugo Claus?

    My verses stand gawping a bit
    I never get used to this
    They lived here long enough
    Enough!
    I send them out of the house
    I don't wanna wait
    Until their toes are cold
    Enough!
    I wanna hear the humming of the sun
    Or that of my heart
    Hardening
    Enough!
    They don't screw classically
    They babble commonly
    And bluster nobly
    Enough! Enough!
    In winter, their lips leap
    In spring, they lie flat at the first warmth
    They ruin my summer
    And in autumn, it's girls and a broken heart
    For another 12 lines on this sheet
    I'll hold my hand over their head
    And then I'll kick them out
    Enough!
    Go and pester elsewhere, one-cent rhymes
    Find somebody who cares
    Enough!
    Go now on your high feet
    This is where the graves laugh
    When they see their guests
    Enough!
    One corpse on top of the other
    Go now and stagger to her
    Whom I do not know
    Enough! Enough!
    In winter, their lips leap
    In spring, they lie flat at the first warmth
    They ruin my summer
    And in autumn, it's girls and a broken heart
    In winter, their lips leap
    In spring, they lie flat at the first warmth
    They ruin my summer
    And in autumn, it's girls and a broken heart

    perfect sound and harmony between the instruments. love it especially when the leading guitar goes to backsound without losing any of it's touch and the leading became the second one without making it solo, just briliant. Great band nothing more to say. Love every bit of it: instrument sounds, voice, lyrics just perfect.

    Damn, I'm really impressed by this song, band & performance.
    I really have no clue what the song is about but I believe them.

    • @yvesvd3109
      @yvesvd3109 9 років тому +3

      Actually it's an adaptation of a poem by Hugo Claus. Arguebly one of the most important Flemish authors. See:
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Claus
      The poem itself (in Dutch) and the lyrics of the song (which are only partially a literal translation of the poem):

    Stumbled on this because a band from my hometown, Hey Rosetta, which is Newfoundland Canada, were on WLT. Probably the best song ive heard this year, been listening to it constantly the last couple of weeks. Just a beautiful song and version, thanks!

    ENVOI LYRICS
    [Verse 1]
    My verses stand gawping a bit
    I never get used to this
    They lived here long enough
    (Enough!)
    I send them out of the house
    I don’t wanna wait
    Until their toes are cold
    (Enough!)
    I wanna hear the humming of the sun
    Or that of my heart
    Hardening
    (Enough!)
    They don’t screw classically
    They babble commonly
    And bluster nobly
    (Enough! Enough!)
    [Chorus]
    In winter their lips leap
    In spring they lie flat at the first warmth
    They ruin my summer
    And in autumn it’s girls and a broken heart
    [Verse 2]
    For another twelve lines on this sheet
    I’ll hold my hand over their head
    And then I’ll kick them out
    (Enough!)
    Go and pester elsewhere, one-cent rhymes
    Find somebody who cares
    (Enough!)
    Go now on your high feet
    This is where the graves laugh
    When they see their guests
    (Enough!)
    One corpse on top of the other
    Go now and stagger to her
    Whom I do not know
    (Enough! Enough!)
    [Chorus]
    In winter their lips leap
    In spring they lie flat at the first warmth
    They ruin my summer
    And in autumn it’s girls and a broken heart

    The lyric, "In spring they lie flat at the first warmth." from Hugo Claus, reminds me of the parable about the plants growing rough by the wayside or lush in good soil, verily. I believe it's in the book of Mark.
