It truely must be one of the best productions ever from Belgian bottom, we should never forget which great music was brought forward out of our tiny Belgium
Ja, maar jaren 70 en 80 hadden jullie absolute top groepen! The cats, BZN, golden Earring, mouth and McNeal, the classics, teveel om allemaal op te noemen. Jullie waren wereldleiders in de muziek. En daarna is het pamperbeleid begonnen van alles kan en alles mag en NL was naar de kloten.......
Ben Belg en grotere fan van Frank Boeijen, Stef Bos enz..., dan van vele Vlaamse charmezangers. In mijn Spotify is Vlaamse en Nederlandstalige muziek 50/50.
Envoi Absynthe Minded 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 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! 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 ❤️❤️❤️
He's talking about his verses. The song is a translated poem of Hugo Claus. A belgian poet. Claus was an experimentalist and so it's hard to understand what exactly he's talking about but 'they' are the verses in this song.
Just a side note for everyone, the band is from Belgium it's pretty much confirmed they speak Dutch since the whole song is based off of a Ducth poem called "Envoi - Hugo Claus"
1/ no this isn’t a Bob Dylan song. 2/ this is a story being told, accompanied by music. It is the translation of a poem of one of our country’s most famous and beloved authors and it’s meant to revive that love, for that poem.
dit vind ik niet kunnen als zoon van de vrouw in de video. Je hebt duidelijk geen respect voor mensen en vind dat je je excuses moet aanbieden! Dit maakt mij heel boos!
Ik stuur ze 't huis uit, wil niet wachten tot hun tenen koud zijn. Ongehinderd door hun onhelder misbaar wil ik het gegons van de zon horen of dat van mijn hart, die verraderlijke spons die verhardt.
ja, what were they thinking when they mixed the solo....?? It's such a nice song.. oohh wacht'k ben enne Hollander.. Wederom beter dan de meeste pretentieuze nederlandse bandjes.. Belgisch is echter, oftewel minder nepppe..
It's based on a poem from the brilliant Hugo Claus (NL original and EN translation: www.poetryinternational.org/pi/poem/885/ ), the title also has a meaning which actually also is the form of the poem, see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envoi , knowing all this, everyone can make his/her own interpretation ;)
It says you know jack shit about Belgian bands. Belgium has numerous awesome bands and produces awesome music. Stop listening to MNM and Qmusic and open your mind.
blaarmeersen,watersportbaan,de voetgangersbrug, de straat van de cinema,stukske ledeberg, allemaal bekende plaatsen eigenlijk.... alee als ge van gent zijt he ;)
Remembered listening to this on my iPod. In the bus, in the car or in the train on a sunny day. This song was for years the soundtrack to my life.

Same here. Bus and iPod. :) Oh god life was good then.
Fantastisch, jullie belgen pakken ons hollanders al jaren in. Op het vlak van Kunst, muziek en film sowieso. Oh ja, en voetbal natuurlijk.
groot gelijk, maar toch hebben jullie ook veel meer ;)

Da zou 'k ni zeggen, ik denk da wij mekaar veel eerder aanvullen ...

BELGIUM 4 WIN
Envoi
Absynthe Minded
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 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!
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
❤️❤️❤️

I thought girls. In winter their lips leap, in spring they lie flat at the first warmth. They ruined my summer, in autum it s girls and a broken hart.
it's excellent, its great music, one of my favorite bands (i'm in Mexico)
1:04 so nice! I really like how at that point the story of the clip converges with the music just for a moment and then goes on
ça déroule bien c'est fluide frais trop forts ces belges !!et oui Absynthe est un groupe Belge ! Bravo et belle carrière
joe de Brive
My Spanish friend played me this when I was hanging out with Swedish girls and living with a French dude, good European times!
Just a side note for everyone, the band is from Belgium it's pretty much confirmed they speak Dutch since the whole song is based off of a Ducth poem called "Envoi - Hugo Claus"
And the clip is shot in Ghent. :)
Ik houd van Gent!!! THE BEST ERASMUS EVER! Great clip and song!

MEE EENS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zomer 2021! Doet me altijd waarderen hoe mooi onze stad Gent wel niet is…
The perfect Spring song , 100%
I love the 60s/70s vibe of this song. Bob Dylan influences !!!
inspired by 'the hurricane' by Bob Dylan
+Stijn Debuck nooo hugo claus z'n gedicht
ook envoi genaamd
De tekst wel maar de akkoorden van het liedje zijn duidelijk geïnspireerd door den Bob. Vergelijk maar eens...
Stijn Debuck het ritme wel maar idd de tekst is van Hugo
i cant stop!!
they should be big!!!
1/ no this isn’t a Bob Dylan song. 2/ this is a story being told, accompanied by music. It is the translation of a poem of one of our country’s most famous and beloved authors and it’s meant to revive that love, for that poem.
I love you....

@boxeurdunord belge, français, espagnole, ouzbekistanais,... quand ça rock bien, peu importe.

Ik begrijp nog steeds niet hoe het mogelijk is dat dit geen grotere hit werd
deze clip laat je herinneren hoe mooi Gent is.

Most underrated

prachtig nummer en prachtige clip. Top!
eerste vrouw in beeld is formidabel lekker!
dit vind ik niet kunnen als zoon van de vrouw in de video. Je hebt duidelijk geen respect voor mensen en vind dat je je excuses moet aanbieden! Dit maakt mij heel boos!
i tought the same thing man, almost the same jam! Love this song!!!
Awesome & Lovely...!!!**!!!
Ik stuur ze 't huis uit, wil niet wachten
tot hun tenen koud zijn.
Ongehinderd door hun onhelder misbaar
wil ik het gegons van de zon horen
of dat van mijn hart, die verraderlijke spons die verhardt.
this song was orriginally a poem
Yes!
Awsome,...!!!
So Nice & Lovely... just like "U"
What does "Envoi" mean? beautiful song
ah nice.
Dit clipke is opgenomen in Gent ofwa?
Zalig.
I love it!!
ja, what were they thinking when they mixed the solo....?? It's such a nice song.. oohh wacht'k ben enne Hollander..
Wederom beter dan de meeste pretentieuze nederlandse bandjes.. Belgisch is echter, oftewel minder nepppe..
WooW old song ❤️🙏🎶🕺🏻🎶
Echoes pink floyd? Hurricane, All along the watchtower? Perfect blend (:
super titre j'adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Could someone explain the meaning of the lyrics? pls Im dying to know the meaning behind this amazing song
It's based on a poem from the brilliant Hugo Claus (NL original and EN translation: www.poetryinternational.org/pi/poem/885/ ), the title also has a meaning which actually also is the form of the poem, see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envoi , knowing all this, everyone can make his/her own interpretation ;)

The only Belgian band I actually like. And I'm from Belgium. So that says a lot.
It says you know jack shit about Belgian bands. Belgium has numerous awesome bands and produces awesome music. Stop listening to MNM and Qmusic and open your mind.
@@timjanssens9818 calm down babesss, i was 13 when I wrote that! No need to cuss, we’re alle friends here
The lyrics are a bit weird, but good in a sense, very evocative , but it's such a great song...man I love this one....well done !
The lyrics are from a poem from Hugo Claus

Dat het gedicht maar vrij raar en eigelijk naar mijn mening absurd is . & dat uit zo'n gedicht zo'n bangelijk nummer kan voortvloeien , prachtig :)
1 million views in 10 years.. makes sense now
@menmenm nope this is belgium... the group is from ghent... so do i :)
