I thank God for music...no matter what language, it reminds me that I live!

Goddamn, this channel is not good for my health, i cried my heart out. Howled like a wolf. Beautiful, powerful, Anita is great.

💖Robert Long, the original singer, was openly gay by the time this song was published (1977). There wasn't much acceptance for the community. In almost all of his songs, he tried to put some 'gayness', as a (subtle) fighting for tolerance. The sentence "Where there are more people like me" had a double layer: People who were heartbroken ánd People who were "like him" (gay). (Gays were often referred to as "like them", to not have to pronounce the "gay"word.) So yes, it encourages you to be brave/tough if you're heartbroken, but also in other situations such as being hurt or feeling sad. It's okay to be sad. There are more people "like you" everywhere... Covered by Brace, a tough, dark coloured rapper, warms my heart even more. 🏳️‍🌈 🙏🏻

Anita Meyer is one of the grand ole ladies of Dutch music. Singing a song of one of Dutch best songwriters, Robert Long. I didn't know tis cover btw.... goosebumps. And I so love you adopted Dutch music. I know all of these songs, but listening to a non-Dutch person loving the music.... awesome!

I cried when i saw this on tv. So beautiful sung by Anita. And to see Maan cry like that really came in

I love our Anita. I also love this show where they perform one another's songs. The respect they have for one another! I too cried my heart out. ❤ Isn't it amazing that these people aren't afraid to show their feelings!!

When you understand dutch some of these songs are so emotional . even when you are in a happy state of mind you can cry for the people how aren't and can relate to this situation. So beautiful. Greets jacco

The first time I saw this. It made me cry soooo much. It's so relatable and it just hit me right in the feels

Such a shame we don't hear that much by Anita Meyer anymore. It's ALWAYS the same song on the radio. I used to go her performances with a friend of mine and she knew us and invited us in her dressing room several times. She's very friendly and we really had a great time. Yeah, real shame, such a great voice. I think the fact it hits you because she really is a very friendly sweet woman. She means it.

Brace indeed was a bad boy, but he changed his ways. This song is so beautiful….it touched me so much.

Beautiful and strong song that many will recognize themselves in, everyone will have had to deal with a breakup at some point. I've known the song for a long time but still have to shed a tear when I hear it.

Anita is a class apart..goosebombs.. We all have once.or more in life had to say goodbye to a love one.. She nailed the song...lyrics built up beautiful... Brace did his verson also very well..his voice is fine for the ears.. Fine that they took care of Maan..she had a breakup from relationship... Thanxxx H.for your reaction to it.. 🙏😇❣🌍🧜‍♀️🙏

OMG, I didn't tear up, I instantly, one minute in the song, started ugly crying 😫😭. Damn, thought I processed my stuff, apparently not so much....🥴 lol

Great song by Brace .... Ave Maria ! heart breaking

"DE BESTE ZANGERS" have artists who always bring tears to the eyes😢 and move everyone. This was beautiful ❤ Thank You very much 🐞🍀😘

Dear Highly, Thanks a million for my lovely reaction. Really appreciate you, but you know that already 🤣😉. It's your positivity and your understanding that shines through and I just love it. I wish that there were more like you 💋🇳🇱👊🐋

You should check Brace - Ave Maria from Beste Zangers.

Now I wanna hug Maan 😪

Thank you for showing this fragment by Anita Meyer! It is one of the most beautiful texts that everyone brings their own in their personal life. Everyone has experienced this and hope this song gives them a little strength. Thanks again for choosing this.

Maan was so emotional because she had just broken up with her boyfriend... Her pain was still fresh.

Anita is one of the "grand ladies" of the Dutch music industry, a very long career and and lots of experience

Be-au-ti-full! Anita has a very long career, and is still popular

When I heard this song for the first time from the original artist , it made me cry , and to be frank, it still does

I think the reason why this program is so great is often people look up to recording artists and they seem to always have a mask on to hide their emotions. Because "it's the song what must have emotion, not the singer" as I heard someone say a while ago. Seeing even they can break because of the shit in their lives, that's the same shit in our lives, make them human again. I can't wait till the next season.

Robert Long, yes a man with a way with words. I adore his song "Vanmorgen vloog ze nog". I wonder if there's a version of it on YT🤔.

Wonderful she sings this song.🙂🍀💯👍💐🌹🌹 2013 she s playing Maria in the passion. She is a great singer. Much powerful.💐🌹🌹🍀👍💯😃🙂

I like you're comments. This whas indeed emotional. Great lyrics and song. I love the show De Beste Zangers. I watch it everytime when it's on the tellie.

The new series of Beste Zangers will be broadcast on television from 3 September 2021. The participant singers are not publiced yet.

So impressed by your reaction!

Anita Meijer is like the typical Dutch mom, she can hug you and tell you all will be well with her beautiful warm voice... Hope you're alright. Love and hug from the Netherlands

Crying every single time,...

Brace was a hit in the start 2000 with R&B hip-hop music but got on the wrong track, he has rediscovered himself and came back big via the voice of holland with dutch ballads that girl (ma an) was just in a broken relationship at that time her first great love broke down

It’s been a while when I had my first heartbreak but this song says it all. Hopefully some day I will be able to carry on.

Brace lived a few houses away from me, its a really nice guy who had some problems but no mentor and made a few mistakes, but its a great person at heart and today 12years later its a great guy, the person we all knew he would be with the right people around him

I found your channel a few days ago and now i'm bingewachting your videos. I know the original song and listened to it so many times and it gets me every time. Robert long has so many beautiful songs. You have taken me down to memory lane and i go from laughter to sadness with your videos. Your reactions are so pure, thank you for taking the time to share all of this and not to be afraid to show your emotions. Respect!!!

That"s why I LOVE this show. People need to FEEL. 😊

♥️wow, so beautiful, so true... sometimes we have to be brave. and sweet Maan, she really had a hard time during the song..

i always loved this song, but this was very very emotional and powerful

Dennie Christian is a German singer residing in the southern part of Netherlands (Limburg)❤ Popular in the 70es...❤❤❤

This was a very nice year of - Beste Zangers -

HxC, thank you so much for the beautiful work you do, and being the beautiful man you are. You are an outstanding example of sacred masculine energy🙏

You are so right, young people need good role models. My youngest son was 14 when his dad passed away. And as much as I tried being mom and dad at the same time. That doesn’t work. Young boys need their dad’s. Or a close male relative as a role model. I watched him struggle and it took him a long time to figure himself out. He is 32 now and absolutely amazing. But as a parent you always feel guilty about you child’s struggle. And we definitely put on our brave faces to get through it.

Dennie Christian, the man at 0.58 asking the question is actually German. It's amazing how good his Dutch is, you can hardly hear an accent. Brace is a cool guy. He knows what it's about.

"Don't judge a book by it's cover": you should definitely check this whole episode. His reaction is gold, I cryed every song, such great songs and performances.

Right in the feels!

I know this song for 30 years old and still it makes me cry and miss Robert long ❤️ thx

Love Robert Long's songs like 'Allemaal angst, Kalverliefde, Vroeg of laat' RIP Robert Long❤❤❤❤

The original was already a Great song, Breathtaking lyrics..wonderful performed now by our grand dutch lady singer Anita Meyer. God is Really in songs and in their lyrics.

Hcx much respect recognizing dutch and other counties their talent! 🫡

Thanks, beautiful!

Good song, good lyrics. Love how Anita during the song looks a bit concerned to the right where Maan is crying her eyes out.

Beautiful song.You must see Kensington with Armin Van Buuren with the song heading up high.So good.

I'm crying 😓

this program has been popular in Belgium for many years (liefde voor muziek), you should also take a look at that because we also have talent

Tip brace and maan singing: wereld zonder jou. Its also on beste zangers

Maan's hurt broke me.

i felt ever Woords, Wauw ❣️

Such a beautiful song! Another really powerful song is from the singer/songwriter MEAU. You really should check her out too, especially the song “dat heb jij gedaan”.

Pfffff this is tearing me up 😢 the original is from Robert Long. He has such great songs and lyrics. This one reminds me of a break up of my own 😭 still brings me to tears

Well your appreciation and the words you add gives another dimension to feel whats being shown. Thank you :) Plz check out Beste zangers Samantha Steenwijk - ik ben altijd dicht bij jou. She also has her own song called mama. Beautiful as well. I normally don't listen much to dutch songs, but some are really beautiful.

Robert Long had two sides: the emotional and beautiful songs like Flink Zijn en Kalverliefde, but also a humourus side, like a comedian.

You are not mistaken, Brace used to be in the hiphop scene.

Beautyfull❤️

You must hear from him Ave Maria sooooo beautiful!!! So........Ave Maria from Brace!!

A recommendation of this same show but from Maan, the girl that's crying through this performance. It's Maan with Nessun Dorma, really a powerful performance.

You are a rolemodell man.. sorry for my bad English. But really, your reactions are so deep...thx to share... Belgium have te same show.. and started is 7 years ago.. thé name is "liefde voor muziek". In English its "love for music". You don't need to make a reaction video of it (ofcourse i want) but .. please only look a episode ..

That's Robert Long!

Robert Long is someone I grew up with. My mother always played his song. He was gay and being proud being gay. There are so many of his songs so pure and full of daily emotions that it is impossible not to cry. Unfortunately everybody has to go sometime and we lost another beautiful soul.

Already crying, song didnt started yet.

Robert Long is such an incredible linguist magician. A way with words that could confront you into tears or fury. A directness few dared. Their voice so unique and warm I can only compare it to Karen Carpenter.

Beautiful song and wonderful singer. If you like this kind of music, you really need to listen to: Samen zijn from singer Willeke Alberti. Our son died in 2008 at the age of six. We played that song at his funeral. It's the most beautiful song ever written.

😭❤️

You really should See. Brace singing. Ave maria. Really. Greetzzzz

It’s not (just) the singer, it’s the song. Brace definitely did great covering the Robert Long original and Anita Meijer did this brilliantly as well. Yes, the voice and the intention (and emotion) of the singer so adds to it. Definitely. But. The. Song.

Hope you will check out Brace on the voice. His voice is beautifull.

The origineel is a favourite of mine.

❤

To the feels , gut check man.... Pffff....! Everyone can relate to this at some point in his or her life. #FlinkZijn

heftig om het verdriet van Maan te zien

You should listen to brace: ave maria

I really hope u also will watch from this show: maan - jij bent de liefde

I am so proud that I am Dutch

Brace has a fantastic voice! Check it out!

Anita = Dutch Legend ♥

💕😘🙋‍♀️🙏

Be tough Ten o'clock, sunday morning And I look at your face Now you are still lying next to me And your eyes are still closed After today you won't be with me anymore There is someone else that you care about more That can happen Be tough, be tough for a moment And though it can take long, I will wait until I no longer think of you I will wait until I will be free and to be just as ready as you will be So I'll wait until I no longer love you Two o'clock, sunday afternoon All your stuff is standing ready Suitcases and some boxes I look at them every now and then I feel shitty but I don't say so I hold it in, so you see I am starting to learn it Be tough, be tough for a moment And though it can take long, I will wait until I no longer think of you I will wait until I will be free and to be just as ready as you will be So I'll wait until I no longer love you Six o' clock sunday evening 'Well, goodbye' you say, 'I'm going' Farewell at the front door You drive away, I stare you down Why am I not screaming Are my eyes dry It might have happened a little too often To keep crying Be tough, be tough for a moment And though it can take long, I will wait until I no longer think of you I will wait until I will be free and to be just as ready as you will be So I'll wait until I no longer love you Ten o' clock, it's dark already I have to go out the door, because I suffocate Put my coat on, I go to the city Where there are more people like me I won't be lonely No, not yet tonight I will try not to see your body, Smell your scent Be tough, be tough for a moment And though the chance is slim, I desperately hope that I won't long for you Trying to be free, and to be just as ready as you are So waiting until I will love someone again lyricstranslate.com/nl/flink-zijn-be-tough.html

It must be very difficult for you to understand and listen to dutch (not the best language to sing with the hard sounds) at the same time. I don't think, however I have a lot of respect for her, this is the best performance of this song but at the same time she is able to deliver the emotions.

Never follow a public rolemodel. Always look for it in your hart and you will find all kind of people next to you.

This world, we all try to live in, has to be reset to BZ.

If you like Anita meyer try her song why tell me why!!

here name is anita meijer big name in holland look here up

"en toen kwam Robert Long uit de kast" Nou die was al lang uit de kast hoor ;D "and then Robert Long came out of the closet" Well, he was out a long time, you know ;D

Je zou brace in zijn jongere jaren moeten zien. Brace - hartendief of brace - laat me alleen

Could you maybe do pentatonix sound of silence??? Such an amazing group and goosebumps promised

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

You need to listen to the original by Robert Long. It will break your heart. Also listen to Thorbeckeplein by Robert Long

What are you refering to if you're talking about the discord?

Hi paul Robert long has a fantastic song called "iedereen doet het". Meaning every body does it. I think you will like this catchy song. Maybe you will react to it.
