Bloem

Dearest Seedlings,

Last weekend we finally got to share our newest song 'Bloem' with audiences.
A very scary, beautiful, emotional and rewarding experience for us.

This song has been many months in the making. Not because it's difficult, not because we had writer's block - but because we had to go through a pretty heavy amount of pain and grief in order to write this song of healing.

Playing and singing it outside of the comfortable and safe environment of Koen's living room felt a bit..weird at first - but then we felt the energy in the audience change, and we were all going through it together, which gave the song even more depth. Thank you to all who were there.

We would like to share the lyrics of the song with you here, and we hope they give you strength when you need it!

Bloem
(English below)

Is er geen naam voor wat je voelt?
Ben je ontroostbaar en alleen?
Je hoeft niet te zeggen wat je bedoelt -

Samen gaan wij hier doorheen. 

Vrees je wat de morgen brengt?

Of kijk je terug, en voel je spijt?

Houd je dan vast aan dit moment -

Voor een afscheid is het nog geen tijd.

Schreeuw in de wind, 

Je mag bang zijn in het donker. 

Dwaal door het bos,

Dan verdwaal ik met je mee. 

Laat alles los en adem in...

Na ieder einde volgt een begin.

Is there no name for what you're feeling?

Are you inconsolable and alone?

You don't have to say what you mean -

Together we will get through this.

Do you fear what tomorrow might bring?
Or look back, burdened with regret?
Then hold on tightly to this moment—
It is not yet time to say goodbye.

Cry out into the wind,
It’s okay to fear the dark.
Wander deep into the forest,
And I will lose my way with you.

Let it all go and take a breath...

After every ending, a new beginning unfolds.
