Song for the Queen - dedicated to all people affected by the attack on april 30th

This is a song for all people affected by the attempted attack on the royal family on queensday 2009.

Composition and all instruments by Tim Wolvetang.
I'm aware that there are many mistakes in the song. Its not about musical perfection, but about emotion, thats why.


Attempted attack on Dutch royal family leaves 7 dead and 12 wounded.
During Netherlands' annual Queens day celedration a man in a black hatchback attempted an attack on the Dutch royal family.
As the bus with the Dutch royals moved along, the car zoomed past it and crashed into the low metal railing around a column on the side of the road.
Members of the royal family saw the crash and gasped, then quickly sat down as the bus continued driving.
The vehicle appeared heavily damaged even before the crash, but the reason for that was unclear.
Six people, as well as the driver, were killed in the incident.
Queens day is a national holiday in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, and Aruba. The tradition started in 1885 and celebrates the birthday of the queen.

"Queensday will never be the same. The Netherlands always has been proud of their nononsense royal family. With this comes a queen who not only rides a bike, but also mixes with the people without the obvious security measurements. Is that still possible now the royal family has been the target of an attack? " (citation from Trouw newspaper)

What will happen the 30th of April next year? Will we continue see members of the royal family cycling through the canals of Amsterdam or hunting for bargains in the Bijenkorf in The Hague?

Verschrikkelijk dat zoiets kan gebeuren!

btw.. erg leuk en mooi gedaan

[Mitrumothy]

Dank je!

Ik snap nog steeds niet helemaal hoe en waarom zoiets kon gebeuren...

[Twirretwarre]

Wow, what a great composition this is... yes, I feel the sadness and the cold in the video and music. I think you did a great job in making the video like this, with images, and told the story.

I though hope that Queensday will not change because of a person who lost his inner road. We only listen to fear than, and is that what we want?
