QuoteOriginally posted by: outrunStomae is from Belgium too. The thing I like about him is that he's very expressive in performing his stories, that's why people link him to Brel (Belgium, French, Performer). This is a new generation so you can't literaly compare with the past, but you can see his ambition: its not a liposucked autotuned bimbo shaking her ass Agreed!I personally don't like his music. But I have some respect for what he does as it has something new/original.

My CountryWhen the high dunes to break stubborn NorthAnd white flakes of foam on the store set-topsWhen the sullen tide pounds on the black basaltAnd over the dike and dune gray mist fallsAt low tide when the beach is desolate as a desertWet westerly and vultures of venom,Then fight my country ... My Country ...When the rain falls on streets, squares, borders,On roof and spire of towering churches,In this flat country, the only mountains,When people under the cloud dwarfs,When the days begin regular stupidAnd east wind round the country saves even flatter,I will wait for my land ... flat land ...When the low air plane skims over the water,When the low air humility teaches us,When the low sky was gray as slate,When the sky was drab as low boulder clay isWhere the north wind vierendeelt the plains,When the north wind it steals our breath,Then crack my country ... My Country ...Jacques Brel Mijn Vlakke Land found on http://batlyrics.com/mijn_vlakke_land-l ... l.htmlWhen the Scheldt in southern sun shinesAnd every Flemish woman strolls in zonjaponWhen the first spring spin his websOr steaming the field in July sunshine hasWhen the south wind laughs it through the grainIt rejoices when the south along the track,Then welcomed my country ... My Country ...
