And I'll be gone...

Fell in love again tonight. Almost forgot the beauty of the Nits. Free concert on the Grand Place in Brussels. Not too many people but enough. They're getting old, Henk Hofstede is completely gray, Stips has a beer belly but still jumps up and down behind his keyboards as if he's standing on a trampoline. I still think the Nits have passed their golden days but when they play their greatest hits you still fall in love.

It's a soap bubble

I love Brussels. It has so many run down corners but it's still gorgeous. The Grand Place is beautiful. They turned down the lights during the concert but then highlighted the city hall during the songs. Pretty lights.


I saw the house on the hill
It burned like a tree
In an endless night
Tell me river when the fire ends
Tell me fire where the river bends
I had a vision of my house
It turned into a flame
On the riverside
Tell me fire where the river bends
Tell me river when the fire ends
Tears are falling down
Like a river through a town
Where I saw the house on the hill
Something in my mind's eye said
I was afraid
Something in the late sky said
I was returning
Back into the river
Where I once had sailed
Back into the fire
Where I was not burning
I saw the house on the hill
It bloomed like a flower
In the summer rain
Tell me fire where the river bends
Tell me river when the fire ends

Yups, they are. After 30 years and 18 CD's, they still rock. They played In the Dutch Mountains btw, had the whole Grand Place singing along.

i had a friend who was a huge fan he made me listen to it alot ,i dodnt think it made me a fan ,but have the dutch mountains somewhere on some various artist cd ,that was a cool song

Some of their older CD's really are out of date. But something like Ting or like their live CD Urk still stands. And they still stand live too, it's just that you feel that their newer stuff doesn't have the strength of their older hits.
