Holland - Hans Brinker Symphony

Holland is een Nederlandse supergroep die in 1971 een hitje had met de Hans Brinker Symphony. Het is nummer is gecomponeerd door Fred Haayen naar de wijs van het kinderliedje De uil zat in de olmen. Op de B-kant staat The Silvervleet, een bewerking van De Zilvervloot van J.J. Viotta. A- en B-kant zijn geproduceerd door Haayen en Cees Schrama.


De supergroep bestond uit leden van succesvolle Nederpopgroepen uit de jaren 70, zoals de Sandy Coast, de Golden Earring, Ekseption, The Shoes, Dizzy Man's Band en Earth & Fire. Het waren onder anderen: Barry Hay, Chris Koers, Gerard Koerts, George Kooymans, Cesar Zuiderwijk en Rein van den Broek. De groep werd begeleid door een blazersensemble en een achtergrondkoor bestaande uit onder anderen Jerney Kaagman, Anita Meyer, Patricia Paay en Yvonne Paay. Hoewel dus een samenwerkingsverband van verschillende groepen is de invloed van de Golden Earring sterk aanwezig.
Er is een opname van regisseur Bob van Rooyen afkomstig van Beat Behind The Dikes; een voor de Duitse televisie gemaakt programma. De musici staan op 13 kunstmatige eilandjes en spelen de Hans Brinker Symphony, een typisch nederpop nummer dat een variatie is op het kinderliedje 'De uil zat in de olmen'.

Keith Law - the path
album: the path (2015)

A wonderful Buddist song 

The Path
(Keith Law)

Someone once said to me
that nothing stays forever
No state of mind, stays good or bad
but it could, if we were together

Someone once said to me
have you seen the deep insight
life is endless, make it right
things will change throughout your life

Chorus
I'd like to take you with me now
and I hope that it will last
I'd like to take you along a road
and it's called the path
I'd like to take you with me now
so don't think about the past
I'd like to take you along a road
and it's called the path
and it's called the path

Someone once said to me
make the right decision
I said that I can only tell
when I know I have the wisdom

Someone once said to me
you can have enlightenment
Nirvana is where we step
when it's like deep meditation

Chorus
I'd like to take you with me now
and  I hope that it will last
I'd like to take you along a road
and it's called the path
I'd like to take you with me now
so don't think about the past
I'd like to take you along a road
and it's called the path
and it's called the path
yes, it's called the path
