In het overgoten licht
Strijkt de laatste zon mijn ogen dicht
Het vuur, ze stijgt
En alles blijft
Zolang ik kijk
Glanzend zand bedekt de ramen
Een zee van gouden schelpen vult de straten
Alles blijft en alles lijkt
Alles lijkt zo dicht bij mij
Daar waar nog nooit iets heeft bestaan
De verzinsels van mijn hoofd
Noch de waarheid van mijn hart
Ik struin langs de branding van mijn Nollestrand
En de wegebbende zee neemt alles mee
Ik staar en ik sta
Klaar om te gaan
Ik staar en ik sta
Ik heb m’n jas al aan
Ik staar en ik sta
Klaar om te gaan
Ik staar en ik sta
En alles komt voorbij
Ik heb alle tijd
Ik heb nooit spijt gehad
Wel veel teruggedacht
Ik hoor de ruis altijd
Ik staar en ik sta
Klaar om te gaan
Ik staar en ik sta
Ik heb m’n jas al aan
Ik staar en ik sta
Klaar om te gaan
Ik staar en ik sta
Met niets dan zand en schelpen in mijn zak
Op die onvergeten dag
Slaapdronken starend op de achterbank
Ik weet het nog heel goed, ik was pas drie
En ik kon alles zien

about
New band De Toegift combines the worlds of Dutch poetry and contemporary indie music into what they prefer to make the most: Dutch spoken indie with influences from jazz. De Toegift's first EP, 'En ik kon alles zien', will be released on the 1st of April 2022.
The second single of this upcoming EP is called ‘Nollestrand’. It's the first song that singer Maxim wrote in his own language. It gives shape to a vivid and intimate childhood memory in which he moved to Zeeland as a three-year-old boy with his parents and older brother. ‘Nollestrand’ pays tribute to that vast plain, the mighty sea and the monumental wind organ that together form the symbol of his origin. If you listen carefully, you can imagine yourself being back in time with him: childlike observations and amazement are captured in a time capsule.
The music tries to capture the rhythm of the sea and the warmth of a late summer day by the sea in its own way. De Toegift is joined by Franklin Schieman (saxophone) and Hester Julia Voddé (violin) who help make 'Nollestrand' sound like a cinematic whole.
