As a Dutchman the instrumental parts of particular rendition really mess with my mind. The first 4 seconds sound exactly as they always do, but then having the brass instruments fade out at 0:05 to make space for the softer chimes really messes with my mind as my mind is immediately braced to listen to the anthem only to have it steer off course. Imagine if you will listening to an instrumental cover of "Rule Brittania" and it starts out as you'd expect (I'll write lyrics to represent the notes coinciding with those lyrics): "When Brittain fi-i-i-irst at hea-" but then instead of hearing the "-ven's command" part, the trumpets rise at the "hea-" note and then go quiet after which you instead hear some chimes playing a completely different melody. It would completely throw you off. You've been conditioned to listen to this familiar melody as soon as you hear the first note or two, and suddenly it sounds completely different. In fact, even though it happens every time in this particular cover, each time it throws you off again by nature of how familiar the rest is. That's how the instrumental parts of this rendition feel to me. I hope I've got the feeling across. P.S. I'm not a musician or expert by any means, so if I've got any terminology and/or instruments wrong, feel free to point it out.
Love this channel! As a dutch guy, i do have a few slight corrections: 2:03 "I am of german blood" 3:47 "Never leave me". "Nimmermeer" is old dutch for "never", not "never again" 3:53 "that i may remain pious" Other then that, that's a pretty good translation, considering people haven't spoken dutch like that in a few centuries! Also, the whole anthem has 15 verses and would take about 15-17 minutes to sing, so for sports events and such, a shorter version like the one this channel made is used. And in the original, old dutch, the first letter of every verse spells out "Willem van Nassau".
@@Blessingvr No, it DOES mean "german blood". It was written in the 16th century, when the netherlands and germany where one empire. So back then we where of "german blood".
@@scarredcoyote I think maybe it’s also because this lyrics is written as The Willem himself speaks to the King of Spain. Willem from Nassau inherited Orange, became the Prince of Orange, who had a lot of land in Holland. Willem moved to Holland and eventually led the revolt, and he personally was maybe a German German. Nassau was and is still part of Germany.
LONG LIVE the Netherlands LONG LIVE the Dutch LONG LIVE the Dutch King The Netherlands Land of windmills and tulips God Bless the Kingdom of the Netherlands respect and love from the United States the Netherlands's ally 🇺🇸💚🇳🇱🇺🇸🤜🤛🇳🇱🇺🇸🤝🇳🇱
Holy shit! Where did you get this remix of The Dutch National Anthem?! This is the most beautiful remix of The Dutch Anthem Ive Heard! And this was 1 of your first videos?! Thank you!
Nobody listen to the end? Last sentence of this song. 4:11 "die mijn hart doorwondt." translated as "which pieces my heart"... doesn't make any sense. Better translation would be: "that wound-through / injured my heart" or "which make my heart bleed" "and may defeat the tyranny that wound-through / bleed my heart" Love this channel, keep it up!!
Ja, van Duitsen bloed, niet van Diets bloed. Het betreft het bloed van Wilhelm. Wilhelm/us zingt dat hij van Duitsen bloede is. Dat is de waarheid. De verwarring ontstaat bij het zingende volk. Het volk dat verontwaardigd is omdat het denkt dat het Duitse bloed op hun betrekking heeft. Het volk wil niet Duits zijn maar Diets. In die zin is het Nederlandse volkslied erg verwarrend.

The eternal fight against the sea!
The fight is long over, we won a long time ago!

@@thijsviergever9885 I’ll consider it won when all the ice melts and The Dutch have reclaimed doggerland
@@thijsviergever9885 We have won the battle but have yet to win the war.
This is a really good anthem.

Duitsen bloed just means Dutch blood, not german
@@Blessingvr It can mean both German or Dutch. In those days that was the same.
@@Blessingvr No, it DOES mean "german blood". It was written in the 16th century, when the netherlands and germany where one empire. So back then we where of "german blood".
@@scarredcoyote of Germanic blood I think

This is the oldest national anthem that’s still in use today.
Is nobody gonna point out how fucking long it gets to go to the beginning the first minute and a half is just fucking fanfare
Amazing fanfare.

1:54 is when it starts
God created the World andere the dutch created the netherlands
Can’t believe nearly 3 minutes of the video was just instrumental
What's up with the coffing?
what? Is something wrong?
If you're listening closely; you can hear people chatting, and coffing.
Probably recorded it outside?
Corona virus
Its recorded at a important ceremonie
Oddly enough a bad translation error, it's done quite well but "vroom" is not *brave* but _pious_.
Beautiful. Love from Israel
Thank you, love to Israël from the Netherlands

"am I of native blood" haha...what comes next in order to avoid the correct translation which is "German"!?
germanic
@@chickensheet6582 It's German. Nobody uses "germanic" for the people of the 16th century.
