I used to live in the Middle Rhine area (Neuwied/Koblenz) and saw the Nits live in concert at the 'Rheinkultur' Festival in Bonn in the early 90's 😀 Have moved to NZ nearly 20 years ago, though. People here were laughing at me at the beginning when I'd call a hill a "mountain" 😄

I have loved this song since my childhood. A few years ago I consciously heard this song while on holiday in Holland in Zandvoort & it just felt like I just had to do it. Today the song connects me even more with this beautiful place. I'm looking forward to being there again in the summer. Best regards from Germany :)

The Nits are a very underrated band. They did so much wonderful songs! I saw them live in 1992 and I met them after the show. They are very nice people, as much as they are inspired. Hats off to the Nits!!

I too saw them in the early 90's, at the 'Rheinkultur' Festival in Bonn, Germany 😀 They had released their album 'Ting' then, and it was a great show! 😊 Free entry, too! 😁 Lost track of them after their '98 'Alankomaat' album, also because of my move to NZ a couple of years later; They're completely unknown here, sadly

Loved the NITS in the 80''ies. We were dancing the nights through while our fathers and mothers were at work or for any yoga-shops elsewhere. We loved the Dutch mountains a lot during those weekends. Everybody was fuzzed, but there was always an idiot to have a walk with the dogs

I was born in the valley of bricks Where the river runs high above the rooftops I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night From the Dutch mountains I was standing in the valley of rock Up to my belly in an early fog I was looking for the road to a green painted house In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains Mountains I met a woman in the valley of stone She was painting roses on the walls of her home And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen Of the Dutch mountains Mountains I lost a button of my shirt today It fell on the ground And it was rolling away Like a trail leading me back To the Dutch mountains To the Dutch mountains Mountains I met a miller on the back of a cow He was looking for the wind but he didn't know how I said: Follow the cloud that looks like a sheep In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains Mountains Mountains Buildings

Winds can be strong in the open, flat countryside in NL, especially the costal areas. # 2:perceiving the silhouette of a large city from a distance (with its tall buildings) as mountains. #3: clouds (see post below).

Ahahah... precisely not. Holland is called "Pays-Bas" in French, which means Low Land or Low Country. There are no mountains at all over there. Same for the north part of Belgium, which is often called The Flat Land :-) I guess the title of the song refers to reality as we would like it to be, but is not.
@TheRealTricky7 жыл бұрын
Correction "Netherlands" is "Les Pays-Bas" in french. Holland is "La Hollande" (sorry, it's not the same despite popular belief). Well in the utmost south of the Netherlands there are some "mountains", and when the Tour de France was there it even led to a polka-dot-jersey to be given there (Couberg in Valkenburg), but I guess that's all we got here in the Netherland ;) (Yeah, I'm Dutch myself) :)
