Was lucky enough to hear Antje perform at the New Hope Winery in New Hope, PA where she opened for Richard Shindell. What a great discovery she is! The pairing of Antje and Richard made for a perfect Valentine's Day night (a gift from me to my husband)!
Only a little over 8,000 views for this wonderful video/wonderful song? Pitiful! Shame on everyone who thinks that Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Taylor Swift represent real music. Antje is the real deal, folks!
Yea, I love this tune... First heard it on OurStage.com and, fell in love with it... I play it once or twice a week; just because it's a great little feel good piece... Thanks for this Antje...
Antje, great song and video! Just have to get you playing more old Martins! Gibson makes a great guitar but an old Martin would suit you well. Please keep making such great videos and writing these wonderful songs. An old old Martin fan
Ok, only 5 years late on my post... but I think many of us feel jealous of Antje's friends singing along to this great song.. but I could not find the lyrics anywhere so... here is (as close as I could render) a copy of the lyrics so you can sing along too. Antje Duvekot - Merry Go Round - Lyrics Someone is tossing petals in the stream somewhere someone is standing at the foot hills of their dreams Someone got a paint brush is painting over doubts someone opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out Someone was captive and found the courage to get off threw a boulder in the well somewhere the rain has stopped someone is finding the place where they belong Everyday is summer, somewhere in the world and the summer boys are headed for the thoughts to kiss the girls with their impatient hands, groping honey, breasts and curls they are filled with desire And high in the hills, there’s a baby being born there’s forgiveness and peace watch over bruises and sores people bridging the distance over nettles and thorns Chorus Everyone aboard on the merry go round some things will rise up so that others come down if the devil don’t dance, heaven won’t shine it’s a mighty thick haze, and it’s a pretty thin line If the faucet is tightened up, the love won’t flow if the love isn’t bright enough, the corn won’t grow if the night isn’t dark enough the moon won’t glow Rich man counting money Tired man counting sheep while the Saved man counts his blessings the hungry man his beans there’s a million people praying raising up their eyes to what turns out to be the same God, the same sky we are slightly scared of death, a little bit afraid so we celebrate everything we can think to celebrate we shall sing out loud to keep the hounds away Repeat Chorus Prisons will crumble and governments will fall it’s the order of freedom to be preceded by walls cause the truth will be worthless if no one every lies so we carried our shame in the interest of pride and we have all these questions to make us go wrong and we’ve got all this distance to make us come home as the sun burns, a child learns, the tide churns, the world turns Repeat Chorus -> End
Was watching this again just now and, thought it sure would be nice to have the lyrics overlaid on it... Speakin' for myself, I can't quite pull out all the words past the music... Just sayin' n' stuff...
I LOVE this song. I end this song with, Vombast, a Norwegian Word.
If you get the chance to watch Antje live, don't miss it for the world. It doesn't get more real. And real is hard to find.
I have been listening to this song for years. In a small but important way, it's one of the more beautiful things I've ever found. Well done, Antje.
I found this song recently and listen to it so many times already. It’s truly great!
Ahead of the crowd all those years ago. A very beautiful girl,,,great art.

Absolutely wonderful song! Love the poetry by Antje.
You helped me get through the last year-and-a-half of COVID - thank you Antje!
This is one of my fav songs by you (Milk & Trash a close second). When I need a good lift, this is one of the songs play. Thank you.

Why not enjoy all of them?
Does interest in genres of music need to be mutually exclusive?
Great video, I love the baby ducks!
Your music can always make me smile. Beautiful
One of my favorite songs.
What a wonderfully life affirmative song! One of my favourites from your TNDOTHD album - which is a masterpiece IMHO.
❤
Sweet!!! Love the Hay-er-Do.

Antje Duvekot - Merry Go Round - Lyrics
Someone is tossing petals in the stream
somewhere someone is standing at the foot hills of their dreams
Someone got a paint brush is painting over doubts
someone opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out
Someone was captive and found the courage to get off
threw a boulder in the well somewhere the rain has stopped
someone is finding the place where they belong
Everyday is summer, somewhere in the world
and the summer boys are headed for the thoughts to kiss the girls
with their impatient hands, groping honey, breasts and curls
they are filled with desire
And high in the hills, there’s a baby being born
there’s forgiveness and peace
watch over bruises and sores
people bridging the distance over nettles and thorns
Chorus
Everyone aboard on the merry go round
some things will rise up so that others come down
if the devil don’t dance, heaven won’t shine
it’s a mighty thick haze, and it’s a pretty thin line
If the faucet is tightened up, the love won’t flow
if the love isn’t bright enough, the corn won’t grow
if the night isn’t dark enough the moon won’t glow
Rich man counting money
Tired man counting sheep
while the Saved man counts his blessings
the hungry man his beans
there’s a million people praying raising up their eyes
to what turns out to be the same God, the same sky
we are slightly scared of death, a little bit afraid
so we celebrate everything we can think to celebrate
we shall sing out loud to keep the hounds away
Repeat Chorus
Prisons will crumble and governments will fall
it’s the order of freedom to be preceded by walls
cause the truth will be worthless if no one every lies
so we carried our shame in the interest of pride
and we have all these questions to make us go wrong
and we’ve got all this distance to make us come home
as the sun burns, a child learns, the tide churns, the world turns
Repeat Chorus -> End
Gute Laune-Song
yeah im back again !!! what of it!!! wanna fight about it!!!
