      Andre hazes is simply the best in dutch maybe all music, the different genarations and culture within the netherlands. When you go to a bar where there is hiphop music for people 20s you will hear hazes, when you go to older people bars you hear hazes. I listen to this with my dad and my grandpa while drinking heineken. Simply timeless music facts on facts and pure amsterdam mentalitety. From the heart… Ons hazes🧡

    There is not - I repeat- NOT a single Dutch adult who doesn't know who André Hazes (sr.) is! It would be a absolute miracle if you could find one. (But you won't find one, trust me on this😉) He is a true legend wether you like his kind of music or not.
    His son, André Hazes jr is also a folk singer but he no longer calls himself 'jr' because 'sr' has passed away and he himself now has a son named André. So this child is now 'jr'.

    Hazes was a big fan of BB King and when the opportunity came around for the two to meet, King surprised Hazes by telling him "Oh but I know who you are!" Turns out that during previous tours through the Netherlands, King heard Hazes' music and was deeply impressed by his singing.
    As far as BB King was concerned, Hazes was a blues singer and a damn good one at that. VERY high praise indeed.

    In 2021 i was 34 learned that i had a depression for more then 20 years now chronic never going away. I'd been to many mental helpers and it never got discovered so too speak. Now for the past 3 years im lgetting to know myself again and getting back in touch with my repressed emotions. I know this song by heart and sang along multiple times evn in the past 3 years. When i saw you react, halfway around the globe not speaking a word Dutch (with help of the subtitles)instantly understand the meaning and powerful message of this song, it made me cry to this song for the first time. So thank you for that, it shows music truly is the one language every soul speaks. 💞💞

    And while you might never see this comment, you might and ignore this recommendation, but if you ever, **ever**, find yourself with a few minutes to spare, please listen to Andre Hazes' "De Vlieger". Which translates to "The Kite". If not for our viewing pleasure, for yourself. It is by far the most beautiful song in our language.
    Though I might be biased, as it has hit harder than ever, ever since my mom passed.

And that your humour is always rooted in genuine enjoyment which is also Respectful. It doesn't come from a place of cynicism or sarcasm. People who have come up through 'the school of hard knocks' can choose whether to be defined by the negativity of their past or look forward through a more Positive 'Lens'. We can choose to be a product of our past or a generator of our future. This is so very necessary when our News Cycle's and many other programs are all about the opposite; the worst of humanity.

Both in your friendly neighborhood cafe or in the friendly Hells Angels bar everybody did sing along. All over the country actually. I see you reacting to a lot of Dutch stuff. Come visit.

And yes I also listen to him .. his songs are quit simple but his lyrics wil always touch you and his voice is unbelievable its unique. I'am now a father of a boy he is 10 months old now ! So this number gives me a real meaning ! I wanted to get a tattoo from a lyric of this song 👌 I swear you cannot find one adult person in Holland that don't now the name Andre Hazes senior ..

    Not necessarily limited to our "hero" Andre Hazes, but I see you react to various Dutch artists and regularly notice "surprise". It may be summarized by respect that is embedded in our society although we ourselves tend to forget that! The way i.e. our singers in "Beste zangers" act is not an act, but just the way we are. We have a very "open" society, attend actively to differences and in doing so often over empfasize differences more than what binds us. I see many reactors reacting to "Beste zangers" and trying to "get" what this "competition" is about; it is just fun, having a nice time together, enjoying each others crafts, it is NOT a competition. Competition is normally hardly present in our society, we do "it" together like grades in school are not that impirtant but the exchange of knowledge is! Remember, that the only thing in life that multiplies when you share (divide) it, is knowledge!
    The fact that many, many years in a row Dutch children score nr 1 in the "happiest children in the world" listing is the sound basis for a "happy" society as a whole. We have 2 sayings to illustrate that. 1) Live and let live 2) Act normal.
    Mind you, it's not all sunshine!

    This sub genre of folk music is called Levenslied (Life Song). I am not a big fan of the genre in general, but almost every Dutch person likes Andre Hazes. He had a strong Amsterdam dialect, and I have a soft spot for it, because I was born and raised in Amsterdam.

    This was Andre Hazes Senior. He sung this for his son Andre Hazes Junior. Andre Hazes Senior unfortunately passed away almost 17 years ago. His music is still very popular (especially in Amsterdam). This is one of my favorites from him. His son (Andre Hazes Junior) is also a famous singer. My favorites from him are Leef! And Ik leef mijn eigen leven.
    I love your reactions, much love 💕
    Edit: He sung it for his oldest son not for Andre jr. 🙈
