YOUR ANCESTOR
Hello there
This is your ancestor speaking
Your predecessor from the 21st century
When you emerged repressing me
Remember? That was us
The Homo Economicus
Don’t walk away please stay
Please listen to what I have to say
I know I’m out of favour out of date
You hate me probably and it’s too late
To change my fate but please two minutes
For your ancestor the one that went before you
I assure you that when you let me explain a little more
Of what we went through what we really meant to do
That the intention wasn’t evil on our side
It might shed a different light
On how you think of us your ancestors
So you may learn from us because
To not get lost in the future
You must know your past right?
So here I am
This is your ancestor speaking
Your predecessor from the 21st century
You’re blaming me for spreading myself
Endlessly around the globe exploiting nature
Leaving no hope for a future driving the Earth
To the verge of exhaustion draining her to the bone
Like a virus in fact doing what it loves the most
To multiply and multiply completely undermining its host
And you’re right in a way looking back I admit that we did
But we weren’t aware thought we were doing good
Economic growth for all of you
Comfort and convenience
Life is so much easier
Than it has ever been before
You have to give me that
Of course I do regret
That we’ve polluted ourselves
Out of existence
Created an unbridgeable distance
From all other forms of life
Until life finally left us
Exit Homo Economicus
You say growth was my Holy Grail
Yes it was and it failed
It couldn’t last I do agree
But in the middle of the hustle
You cannot really see
The point I’m trying to make
We weren’t fully awake
We didn’t know the things you know
It seemed good to stick with growth
Climate change we heard the words
But the words just didn’t hurt
And it may sound absurd to you
But we loved our children too
We were stuck in a system of business
That’s how we survived it gave us our lives
To buy or not to buy was to be or not to be
Buying things determined our identity
And you can laugh about it now
But remember it was how
We managed to get out
Of poverty and wilderness
Don’t call it pure silliness
So we aren’t flawless
Your great-grand parents
But you shouldn’t lay it all on us
The Homo Economicus
You say growth was my Holy Grail
Yes it was and it failed
It couldn’t last I do agree
But in the middle of the hustle
You cannot really see
So here I am
This is your ancestor speaking
Your predecessor from the 21st century
To ask for forgiveness and for some understanding
Please don’t be too demanding
Don’t be too hard on us
We did the best we could
Moving forward like we thought we should
Though we were just a phase
In the existence of the human race
We paved the road for you
In many ways
This is your ancestor speaking
The relatives you know so well
Forgive us I beg you
For sending you to hell

Zo betoverend mooi dat het pijn doet. Kunst in Optima Forma.
What a brillian song. Wisest lyrics ever. Thank you!
From Antwerp Management School, our professor shared this song during a stakeholder management course. So powerful, congratulations 🎊
Bless this professor!
Prachtig, onze obsessie met groei is benauwend. Destructief zelfs. Dit nummer is echt een Sign of the times. Beautiful Nynke.
No, we cannot forgive you nor can we forgive ourselves. Well done! A sly message. #digniworld #justbehuman
This is a masterpiece, everything fits, sound, lyrics, visuals. Thank you so much for this work. So good to experience that 'pop music' can reach out to this level of intellectual depth! The recent situation (Corona) adds a new and dark layer to the topic of 'growth'...
The recent situation: Not corona, we can deal with that, but we will not deal with all the lies we are told about corona. We must expose them. Big Pharma keeps growing. Big Tech also. Weapon industry makes a lot of money. The lies about clima change. The weather manipulation. The nuclear tests. The chemical pollution. Agenda 2030. Our ancestors did not know what we know. Evil remains the same. But with technology it can grow immense...
Beeldschoon, mysterieus en confronterend mooi Nynke! Kippenvel
perfecte timing something must change.... become human again...
What an amazing song.
I love the lyrics, it’s such a confrontation with the self.
The pleading, the hurting, the struggling, the wanting but not knowing how.
And great music to boot.
It deserves a bigger audience.
Thank you for capturing this echo from the future, reverberating into the past, projected upon Our shared present. Thank you Ancestor, I got the message...
Quelle merveille ! Bravo et Merci. 💚🙏
Soms hoor je een nummer wat je ziel raakt, zowel zang tekst als uitvoering. Dank je Nynke ♥️
Wat is dit toch een bijzonder mooie tekst over Terug gaan in het verleden en kijken naar de omststandigheden waarin je voorouders leefden om zodoende het heden te kunnen begrijpen ....... en zo prachtig mooi op muziek gezet en gezongen.
This is so powerful. Thank you Nynke. I am going to share your work with many friends, people need to hear this!
This is absolutely brilliant 💚
She is very talented , I love this song and lyrics.
How come this master piece only has 6k view...... :o !!!!!!
This absolutely fresh and genius

We hoorden dit al op virtuele Oerol 2020 en zijn opnieuw zeer onder de indruk, het swingt, het is een mooie sterke tekst en het geheel is zeer indringend.
I got here by sheer chance. I am amazed. And happy.
Prachtig! live in het fort van Nigtevegt bezorgde je ons kippenvel
What a beautiful song when does comes the second version of this number with Magna maybe ?
Leaf famke, wat litst do ús sjén! En wat bist do nedich. Mar blinder, lit it dy net opfrette.
Masterpiece indeed.
Wat een geweldig statement!
De zenleraar Dick Verstegen deelde dit nummer tijdens een lezing van hem op 30now. Het heeft me diep geraakt. Wat een prachtig en zo urgent nummer. Enorm bedankt Nynke!
Briljant
Onder de indruk van dit lied met een tekst en een melodie die blijft doorklinken en zo waar is.
Prachtig nummer! Wij hadden de eer dat Nynke dit nummer voor ons zong tijdens het KlimaatAlarm 14 maart 2021 Leeuwarden. Betoverend, indrukwekkend. Als organisator heb ik nu al spijt dat we niet de extra tijd hebben genomen om ook in het landelijk programma te komen, want dit verdiende het. Nogmaals bedankt Nynke!
Masterpiece.
Indringend, overweldigend, adembenemend. Een wonderschone nachtmerrie van beeld, geluid en poëzie.
This song, the performing, the intensity, the impact, should go around the world. But it fails to do so yet, in the middle of the hustle we cannot really connect to the beauty of this message. If there is a momentum to change out of growth as the wholly Grail...it is now or never. For or children's children sake we must do it. Only the big money think they can influence the world. That's an illusion. If we all stop eating meat, sugar, junk food, if we stop collecting luxury, stop being a tourist, and start living possessed for the wonder of every day and care for every person. Are we alone in this dream, cry-out of the heart. No we are all-one. Something greater is possible. With love Nico Bezuur
The sad thing is that this message is completely true!
Kippenvel!!!
Wat een tekst!!!
Werkelijk waar, Meesterlijk!!!!!
Totally inspired and inspiring, song for the age!
Hier kan je naar blijven kijken, wat super.
Goh Nynke, wat goed gedaan, wat waar is je tekst, schokkend.....we zitten er middenin nu....in de puinhopen...en in het niet zien wat er gaande is ( het machtspel, de manipulatie, etc.)....
Thank you for your courage and your beautiful message and the music....so cool!!! From New Zealand, Aroha Nui. I love to share this.
Very powerful
Heel indrukwekkend! Kende Nynke niet, zag haar in de documentaire met Matthijs Schouten, 'De natuurlijke mens'. Dank je wel voor dit nummer, ik ga je verder 'ontdekken'.
i love this video, tanks Douwe Dijkstra for it
I come from my Spotify Weekly Discoveries and got goosebumbs. Wowest!
betoverend mooi, kunst en muziek in syn energie.
Wow this one is cool... ! What an idea, a rapping Nynke, subtle..!
wederom prachtig Nynke en Sytse
Prachtig, dank je wel❤
Dit verdient zooooveel meer views!
Nynke snapt het...
Zo ontroerend mooi het raakt me echt op allerlei manieren. Dank voor het maken en doorvertellen van dit prachtige stukje zijn.
Wat een pracht nummer en inderdaad een signaal om serieus te nemen. Dank daarvoor. Onder de indruk.
So cool! 👏👏👏
Prachtig !!
This is amazing. I love this so much
Thank you. You are an #ArtistForFuture. I hope you inspire others to use their creativity and artistry in support of systemic change and climate action. We need artistic help urgently.
Diepe Dank... Zo intens en mooi!
Prachtige weergave van de tijdsgeest
Wij hebben nog tijd to change the tide! Dankjewel voor deze woorden.
The message is clear. Yet, the (rightfully) accusatory voice doesn’t belong to the ancestor, but to the representative from the future. Hello this is your descendent speaking...
I imagine it as the ancestor, as a ghost, somehow also being in that time, 500 years in the future, looking at the past / our times. Then it completely fits I think.
This is so amazing! Thank you, beautiful being!
love it
Prachtige muziek. Ik ben een fan van Nynke!
prachtig en treffend
Wat een fantastisch knappe tekst! En zo mooi uitgevoerd en in beeld gebracht ook!
Al zeven keer bekeken en het blijft fascineren en raken!
LOVE
Tof!
Heel prachtig en indrukwekkend
Fantastico
prachtig en nodig!
Wow, fantastic!!
Prachtig, dank je wel
Great spoken song, minimal video, maximal communication!
Sort of priince EA, but Dutch, female, and a great piece of art !!
Prachtig!
Heel indringend! Prachtig gedaan.
Wow! Wat indrukwekkend! Dank je wel, Nynke Laverman!
Incredible and powerful. Wonder if humanity will listen. #degrowth
Buitengewoon goed nummer!
Impressive!
Here before viral
I love it!
Dit ontstijgt expressie en wordt 'entiteit'🙏
I love this shit!!! :D
Wauw die komt binnen 💕
Wow! Heftig én zo goed!
Wow. Homo economicus. That’s so accurate! Where else can I follow your work?
Hey Kaia, thanks! More work you can find at nynkelaverman.nl
Wat heb ik zojuist gezien😂
Should I feel guilty now?
i cater your greed
wat een mooie, ongemakkelijke spiegel
Ontroerend, diep en geïnspireerd lied
Hallo Nynke. Geweldige prikkelende song. ik heb op mijn facebook mijn eigen liedje klaarstaan. Robert Smit. Ik zou het leuk vinden als u daar naar keek. Al vast bedankt. Vriendelijke groet Smit.
