Masterful acoustic guitar work, beautifully produced and performed 👍

Feels good, maybe a little celebration!  Real nice!

vocal is always great but this piece features some good guitar and bass.

another superb tune Bas!  always enjoy the gorgeous sound & arrangements you produce

This is magnificent in every way Bas. The instrumental interplay is wonderful and your vocal always captures my attention. Reading the translation I am struck with how beautiful this poem is and you have made something remarkable with it. Wow! Thanks for sharing such a gem

@benn10nyson: Thanks Ben, glad you like it!

Liking the mood of your interpretation of the poem Bas.

just excellent in all regards, the recording quality is absolutely outstanding!

[English translation]
ADIEU
Again i saw my love leave
and again it was: Adieu, my heart; soon
it is done with you, with me, with us,
and time and space move in between.

Ah, how many trains I saw depart
from other, from identical terminals?
I turn around and mutter under my breath
what we didn't tell each other this time as well.

Again the world is opening up to me
But darling , I see, just where I look,
in every shop window a stranger walking
whom i look like since you left.

Even for those who have learned not to hope 
too much, the illusion gradually disappears
Again the world is opening up to him
But he only sees, where he looks,
in every shop window a stranger walking 
in every shop window a stranger walking...

Poem: Jean Pierre Rawie (bundle 'Woelig stof')
