This song has haunted my memory for a decade. Love to bring it up and show my friends. Great video.
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?
Best acoustic solo iv ever heard AMAZING!!!
Hay have you ever heard of .... belle and sebastian- fox in the snow . Its very different from this but always reminds me on envoi. Let me know what you think
Found this song 5 years ago while I was tripping shrooms listening to new (to me) music on UA-cam and this is still so GROOVY
By clicking a random video on youtube's sidebar you find great music :)
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
Bless you
J'aime ce rythme, sa voix, ses yeux. YES I love you, boy
Un vent frais ❤️
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.
Awesome piece! Repeat it over and over.. 💫✨🎧🎶
This never gets old
6 years later I can confirm it still hasn’t got old
Damn, I'm really impressed by this song, band & performance.
I really have no clue what the song is about but I believe them.
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):

Thanks you for the info ! Ik had de tekst namelijk opgezocht omdat ik grip probeerde te krijgen op de songteksten. Hier kan ik mee verder nu. Bedankt Yves.
He sounds like a modern day Bob Dylan, I like him!
They dressed in black because it`s funeral music for Hugo Claus!
I remember watching this, and everything else on your channel when you posted it. It's been almost a decade but I've found my way back
i love the whole nonchalant head-nodding & dreamy eyes of the lead singer.
absolutely adore this; summer anthem.
I know at least 200 of those views are mine. Maybe more. These guys are amazing. And I have such a ridiculous crush on the lead singer.
Same
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!
This lyrics was originally a poem in Dutch by Hugo Claus, one of the most famous Belgian writers.read more »
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
U
by far the best version this group has done.
This song ***TOUCHES me. You seem like a brilliant bunch of Belgians too! Thank you for writing this song. Thank you so much.
the lead's voice is so sweet, glad i found this
If you have enjoyed this, know this. Sharing this video and allowing others to enjoy it too, is how WLT works. Imagine if everyone who had watched this, shared it with just a few other friends... After all, you put the T in WLT.
Watchlistentell should release a CD of all the songs they've filmed but without the introductions at the beginning!
Watchlistentell is probably the only subscription I have that I check regularly to find stuff. Best channel.
I’m still here after 12 years
I can't get enough of these guys... I'm NEVER gonna get sick of this song...
Un vent frais comme une brise matinale me traverse quand je reviens à cette chanson

LOL. That nonchalant way he says "from time to time we cross the canal". Hahaha. I wish it was that easy for me to go to London.
I can't get enough of this song
Cause I can hold the guitar by myself!!
So catchy! Great band, great song!
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.
