@Gayete he says 'videos like this', which means that he knew what he was going to watch when he clicked on this one

[etylaaas]

I hate videos like this.. Either get the timing right or we'll look up the lyrics ourselves! its so slow, UGH

[TheStanLex]

why do you watch this video if you don't like it?

[Bruce Willis]

genial ..

[nick10165]

The chorus is the only slow part, and its the same as it was the first few times he sang it. Stop complaining lol.

The lyrics are the translation of a poem written by Hugo Claus, who is a Flemish poet. Although it's hard to say what the poem is really about, a general interpretation would be that he his leaving his poems for the world, he is sending (=envoi) them into the world. Consequently this poem was the last in a work of collected poems by him.

[Dad Korhonen]

I like the music a lot. The lyrics are incomprehensible, & turn me off the song.

[omp777]

he has to watch it first to know whether he likes it

[umoeder00]

that's nonsense. of coarse he knew he was going to hear this song, inclusive the lyrics on screen, it's in the title... he was only wishing the timing was a bit better, so you could see the lyrics just half a second before it's sung, and follow the lyrics smoother. Although the timing could have been worse imo.

This is not a summer song, am still listening it :)

[Omar Khan]

Bob Dylan influence? The chord progression and the vocals are bang on Dylan
