    Direct released this song in the spring of 2020. It became our battle song against corona. The lead singer Marcel has the most amazing sensitive voice!

    This song reaction is 3 weeks old, but you don’t know half how much i needed this. Struggling my battles for over 3 years now, and it’s up and down on how good or bad it goes by the day. And because I’m in a wheelchair everybody wants to debate on your on life and health, which is not always a good thing. Love this video and reaction on it. ❤️

    This song means a lot, also our Dutch fight song against Corona. And you are, i think, a real positive person and that means also a lot for people that see your reactions. You make them also feel better and maybe also even some that will fight more for themselves 🙏

      Owwwwh please, Fighting Against expressed genetic particles that has some influence on reverse transcriptase activity is so not about virusses. I would say Keep Fighting Against your believe System, because we are being so manipulated. The rest of your message is certainly approved.

  • @vonniezuid7663
    @vonniezuid7663 3 года назад +13

    This song still makes me emotional. At the beginning of the Corona outbreak in the netherlands, people were expressing their respect/support for the doctors and nurses fighting against the virus. Every evening images of that, Made by drones with camera’s were on tv with the sound of this song.

    Every time I hear this song, it brings my grandfather a little bit back to me. He was a POW in WWII in Japan, but he survived and raised family well despite all PTST issues and worked his fingers to the bone. I was too young when he died at 65 of heartfalure to realise it all, because no-one ever spoke about it. But this song tells all about the struggle he must have felt.

Last days were not all good, only last sunday when i worked on a festival, even very close to my house (less then 3 km) where famous Dutch and also from other countries came (Lil Kleine + Boef and Frenna for example) the name of the festival was Parels van de Stad (pearls of the city)

    this song was made to honour the veterans, for the remembrence of ww2 and all the wars after that. Unfortunately, it's meaning got lost due to covid19. My husband is a veteran of war, so I love this song, that honours him. Nobody can see my husband is a veteran, but he has his battles still and he soldiers on. I love him for having done his duty to this country (the Netherlands) and for going on.

    This was chosen to be out national corona anthem. Although it was not written with this purpose. It is really very beautifull. And I love their singer. He feels the song deep in his bones and that makes me feel the song too. Please listen to another Beste Zangers performance. The one I mean is Nick Schilder singing Halleluja. Really so beautifull. This was from the beste zangers season in 2012. Thanx 😀😃👍🏼👍🏼

The song my body wich was played in a music studio on air with host Giel. They have so much energy that it works contagious. Look for Di-rect, my body live Giel and yoy will find it.

  • @kroon1930
    @kroon1930 3 года назад

    I needed this song and mostly your words that came with it....Yesterday was great. Top of the mountain and today I came down again. Wanted to do all sorts of stuf. Did nothing, gave up. Hardly left the sofa. I let my head mess with me way too much....Making all the small things harder than need be, let alone the bigger things in life.... Today everything looks unacheavable. I can be so much happier. Just standing in my own way, way too much... Specially today. Crap. Crying now. But thank you for accidentally saying what I needed to hear when I needed it.....
