Coincidentally three Dutch songs, this time.

Old or new songs, often completely different, but still my taste. Sometimes a number is hit at once. The same is the same as below. Everything is right. I also find the lyrics very nice and not ordinary, e.g.“... Give me pieces of future...”, very nice and original conceived...

What is also very special is that a song that I write off immediately, 'become beautiful', after you've already heard it 10x. Anyway, song festival songs of the last years. Usually I take them off as' soulless', no melody, no sing-along, flat lyrics,... The song 'Arcade' by Duncan Laurence - Yes. But after some time I noticed that the song is full of feeling and emotion, translated perfectly by him. What is really great is that he composed the song himself and invented the lyrics himself. This is already a classic! Of course I show here the 'uncleaned' and memorable version, undoubtedly full of tension and nerves. I think you can hear that. But pure...

And finally; Koos Alberts - Yes. Absolutely a good artist but in general, less loved. Still, that beautiful voice from the Jordaan... 'Ameland', I personally think the most beautiful song he has ever sung... This is also a song I didn't like, in the time it came out. But apparently your taste of music changed over the years. Koos knows how to sing this in his own way, recognizable but unparalleled...
