Thank you! But there will still be a Dutch song from time to time..

Knowing how hard it is to translate a song from one language to another, I'm pretty impressed with the result.

I like the song, and you created a good video (with spaghetti) as icing on the cake (well, now I'm REALLY hungry) grin

Thank you!
Well I hope it didn't make you feel very hungry!

A beautiful song (about an important subject).
Good vocals.
Good backing with a good mix.
Video is well done.

We toured The Netherlands (a few years ago) by bicycle. Amsterdam, Haarlem, The Hague, Delft, Gouda, Utrecht.
We saw virtually no homeless (in the US we see them everywhere).
We asked a guy in Amsterdam "Do you not have a 'homeless problem'?"
He said "No...we give them homes"

What a great idea!

(My wife and I volunteer with Feeding Tampa Bay every Monday at a cafe that serves a free hot meal to anyone who walks in. These are the homeless in one small area of Tampa. It is usually 200+ people in the hour that the cafe is open. And they do that every day - at 3 different locations).

Thanks Floyd.
How nice you visited our country!
Nowadays there are about 35.000 homeless people in the Netherlands. And there is a terrible shortage of houses.
So the homeless are not necessarily tramps or something like that. Even a divorce may be the reason.

Best regards...Dan
