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.
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!
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"
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.
so proud to be from Belgium :)
BELGIUM 4 WIN
My Spanish friend played me this when I was hanging out with Swedish girls and living with a French dude, good European times!
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
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
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 ...

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.

beau clip, belle chanson, p'tit pouce vert!
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
deze clip laat je herinneren hoe mooi Gent is.
Yes!

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. :)

Just realised the lyrics of this song are just a translated version of the poem Envoi by the Hugo Claus.
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
puur gents :)
❤️❤️❤️
found this on my old Nintendo Ds
