Throw Me A Line

STORY
The story illustrates phronesis—the classical Greek idea of practical wisdom, the kind of judgment that blends knowledge, experience, and moral insight.

The Bridge at Kalliros
The river Kalliros had flooded every spring for as long as the villagers remembered. This year the water had risen higher than anyone had seen. The young men argued for an immediate crossing to rescue sheep stranded on the far bank. “If we wait, they’ll drown,” one shouted. Another proposed building a raft from fresh-cut pine, ignoring the roar of the current.

Old Thaleia, the village midwife, said nothing at first. She had no formal training in engineering, nor the strength of youth. But she had watched the river for sixty harvests. She remembered the year the water turned suddenly when the snows melted late, the year when the bridge timbers twisted in a hidden eddy. She knew the sheep’s value and the risk to the men.

Finally she spoke.
“Cut no pine. Use the willow trunks upstream—last night’s rain has loosened them. Tie them with the reeds that grow near the oxbow bend. And wait two hours, until the meltwater from the eastern ridge has passed. You will see the mud eddies change colour; then you may cross, and not before.”

The young men grumbled, but the memory of her unerring births and quiet rescues gave them pause. They followed her plan. When the eddies paled, they lashed the willows and ferried the sheep across without loss.

Later a traveller asked why the villagers obeyed the old woman so readily.
“She knows more than rules,” the headman replied. “She knows when rules bend. That is wisdom for living—phronesis.”

This story highlights how phronesis is not just cleverness or technical skill (techne), but the seasoned judgment that grows from lived experience, moral concern, and a sense of the right moment to act.

INTERPRETATION 
The lyrics of “Willow Crossing” portray phronesis—practical wisdom—as a quiet but powerful guide amid danger and urgency.  The rising river symbolizes crises that tempt people into rash action, while the elder’s calm instructions embody the insight that comes from years of lived experience.  Her ability to “read the hour in the river’s lines” shows wisdom not as abstract knowledge but as attunement to the right moment, balancing courage with caution.  By urging the villagers to “wait for the eddies to pale,” the song celebrates patience and moral discernment: wisdom is not about rules or titles, but about sensing when to move and when to hold back, so that action is both timely and humane.

Finding out more

Raise Our Flags

HAEVN'S follow up single after 'Finding out More'. 
HAEVN was founded by songwriter  Marijn van der Meer & film composer Jorrit Kleijnen, working from their studio in Amsterdam.  Before releasing any material  they teamed up with Tim Bran, the acclaimed producer behind London Grammar and Birdy.  This collaboration resulted in the singles 'Finding out More' and 'Where the Heart is' and immediately attracted the attention of two major car brands who used HAEVN's music in their advertisement campaigns. This massive exposure gave the band a headstart and touring was the next step. Soon Marijn and Jorrit found their musical wings in guitarist Tom Veugen and drummer David Broeders.  In september 2015 HAEVN gave their first live performance. The unique combination of cinematic melodies performed by Marijns warm vocals  has conquered the hearts of many musiclovers across Europe.

Run Lyrics:

Clasp your ugly fetters,
Round my broken hands,
Take me where you need me,
Show me your best laid plans,
I am in the water 
It’s far to far to swim,
These sharks around my feet,
Is this a feasting?

Into the Sun I will Run,
Into the heat I’ll find someone,
An absence of you, walking in blue,
I will Run.

I’m soured by your sweetness,
Refined by this affliction,
You tell me it’s my weakness,
But I can feel the breathing on the back of my neck seizing me.

Into the Sun I will Run,
Into the heat I’ll find someone,
An absence of you, walking in blue,
I will Run.

Float like oil on the surface,
Slick, slips, viscous finger tips.
Stop this heart from breaking,
It’s made of the last glass lemon pips.

Into the Sun I will Run,
Into the heat I’ll find someone,
An absence of you, walking in blue,
I will Run.

Back In The Water

Receiving a piano from his grandfather had a great impact on Jorrit’s life. It was this piano that taught him to express himself through music. Following that passion has led him to pursuing a career as a filmcomposer, capturing emotions on the screen and translating them into filmscores.

Marijn has always been inseparable from his guitar. Even during a long period of sickness which kept him in bed for 3 years there was nothing that could stop him from playing. This period made him discover and appreciate the healing power of music.

It was a kind gesture of the universe that Jorrit was introduced to Marijn, making them discover each other’s passion for music and storytelling. They quickly understood that Marijn’s soothing voice was an unique blend with Jorrit’s instrumental colors. In a short period of time they developed a strong, intuitive ‘common sense’ to create their own musical world called HAEVN. 

In this universe, inspired by artist like Leonard Cohen, Bon Iver, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Ray LaMontagne but also filmcomposers as Thomas Newman and Hans Zimmer, they are constantly in search of melodies, colors and lyrics that comfort them. The duo made it their sole purpose to comfort with their music.

For the production of their debut album they teamed up with the acclaimed producer behind London Grammar, Tim Bran. Their debut album ‘Eyes Closed’ evokes feelings of solitude, seduction, conquer/victory and remorse. It was an evident choice that HAEVN recorded a string orchestra for their debut album to represent the filmscore influences. In 2024 they released their second album 'Wide Awake'. 

With creating the HAEVN universe a whole other world opened up for Jorrit and Marijn. It was the first time people could form their own images and emotions whilst listening to the sounds of Jorrit. And for the first time the songs on the album could have the healing effect for others in a way Marijn experienced it before.
