Ik blijf nog even hier, lyric video sample
- Song language Dutch
- 29-second excerpt
Style and material
Someone cycles home along the water, had a bag packed to leave tomorrow, and decides to stay a little longer: that is the Dutch song “Ik blijf nog even hier”, I’ll stay here a little longer. The mood is warm and calm. Watercolour scenes of a Dutch town at the end of the day: a wooden fence, a canal wall, a bridge, an evening sky. Each sung line is painted as lettering onto the surface in front of you, with small paper details such as butterflies, a boat and a bird. The places and small objects were chosen from the words of the song, such as the bridge, the bend, the lime tree and the bicycle, not from a general town look.
About this clip
Ik blijf nog even hier is a 29-second lyric video sample for a song in Dutch.
Visual style: watercolour Dutch-town scenes, words painted onto fences, walls and bridge stones. A bicycle ride home along the water: every line is painted as lettering on a wooden fence, a canal wall or an old bridge, with small paper details.
Across the clip: The clip is painted in soft watercolour and moves through the streets of an old Dutch town. The words appear on whatever surface each place has: an old enamel sign with a clock and a compass, a white house wall under a linden tree with a wooden bench, a wooden fence, a brick canal wall on a wet evening with a paper duck and a snail, a corrugated garage door under string lights, and a paper sky at sunset.
The first and the last line of the clip:
“Ik dacht: morgen ga ik weg”
“Waar de dag langzaam verdwijnt”Lyrics (caption text)
The same text as the captions of the video.
Ik dacht: morgen ga ik weg
Ik had mijn tas al klaar
Maar bij de oude lindeboom
Voelt blijven niet zo raar
Ik blijf nog even hier
Bij de bocht en bij de brug
Ik ken de weg naar huis
En ik kom graag terug
Ik blijf nog even hier
Waar de dag langzaam verdwijnt
