I remember listening to this in the early morning on the way to work on the subway in China going through an existential crisis. It got me through some hard times.

[@boomshlang]

This is something for the true music lover. Out of this world

[@grethekemp72]

An English translation of the song: In your face is a constellation I'm a child who looks at the stars When you run your hands through my hair In the dark I feel defenseless I feel small again When the storm begins to howl The mountain burns And the tree is blown down And the flames start licking at my curtains Then I write myself a new place Becomes when the weather comes again It comes to stay I know the shame and the vulnerability I remember we prayed aloud And I remember we made out in our school uniforms So I write myself a hiding place Because I know the weather will come to stay But Comma Comma Come again This time I'm ready I'll have an axe in my hand Sometimes you've got to Break something open You've got to hit yourself against the window So that we both crack

[@liam-398]

'Then I'll write for myself a (new) hiding place' would be a more apt translation right? wegkruipplek =/= plek

[@grethekemp72]

@@liam-398 yes, definitely. thank you

[@traugottbauling8100]

Great translation! I’m surprised at how well the “comma, comma, come again” worked as I was singing along in my head

[@casperkruger348]

I will have an ax in my hand Sometimes you have to break something open I know of being kicked in the corner and screaming Push you into the window and we both crack I'm just writing myself a hiding place There's a mountain of wood piles burning instead of my mind Comma..

[@ExOTeX_ZA]

2:40, can someone please explain this lyric to me? "daars n berg houtpiele wat brand in pleks van my verstand". I've seriously been pondering it for the last week and I don't understand the symbolism behind it :/

[@jasonphoenix292]

a "houtpiel" or "houtpiele" is land that is barren and can no longer bear fruit. He is essentially singing about how his thoughts are now barren dreams that are burning instead of his sanity and can no longer become anything. More or less. It is a word that is seldom used due to the fact that piel is a slang term in afrikaans for penis. Like dick in English only a lot more offensive.

[@erikvanderspuy8710]

houtpiele (dooden dicks) means sterile. so a mountain of sterile idees in hie brain that will never lead to something. instead of his intelligence. its explained on their Facebook page

[@gbrglnd7886]

Have you ever been so angry that it feels like your head is on fire and you can't think straight? That's what I think it means

[@queenfan1960]

Great song. Who designed the boys’ outfits?☹️

[@tomanthony3943]

The Drakenberg Boys Choir have a variety of outfits for various occasions.
