In this church, and in most places in the Netherlands, the bells are attached to a keyboard that is played with your fists. It is played by one person, a carilloneur.
I was only back in Amsterdam literally a week later (15th January to 22nd January) for the annual A'dam Light Festival event that I so love to do, plus a long trawl around all my usual favourite record shops all over the city and also in Utrecht. And of course I always cycle and walk along Prinsengracht at some point (always past Westerkerk towards the Jordaan) because some of my regular stopping off points are all located in this area....if this awesome spectacle had happened then, I would almost certainly have been elevated to an even higher state of blissful euphoria than I normally undergo each time I touch down on this absolutely gorgeous magical city, of which I have been back to 20 times now since my inaugural visit in 1999, so much so that it's practically my second home having made so many new friends over there. Each time I am not there I miss it so badly...so watching countless videos of the city on TH-cam or social media channels is just about the only way I can make believe I am back there again.....
This also resonates with my poor country Australia.....they may not be life here soon....send blessings our way..or better still ..send help..any small donation will help.....we are suffering, crying and in the middle of a crisis....this for me brought many tears..as beautiful as it is :(
premetto a tutti che anche se hanno cancellato il mio profilo il mio percorso è ben segui bile dei vostri algoritmi David Bowie è morto esattamente quando io per una settimana suonavo le sue musiche cognate per il film labyrinth uno dei film che mi ricordo da bambina uno dei primissimi film che io abbia visto..☯️😈💀🧞🤶👻🧚☠️👽🛸
Happy birthday David Bowie... woulda been 75 today!
That’s a stunning tribute to an immortal man.
Thanks, am glad to be able to share it!
😭😭 Wish someone could design a music box with a wind up David Bowie and this beautiful tribute song! Thank you for sharing sir.
Life is short. Art is eternal ❤️
so true !
I am so proud to be a Amsterdammer and a very big fan of David Bowie.
Beautiful tribute to a spiritual man:
“Searching for music is like searching for God.”
David Bowie
Outstanding...... What a tribute!
Beautiful - blessed be the memory of David Bowie
There’s a couple bell ringer guys in
that tower going fucking bonkers pulling those ropes to make this happen
