[Freek] Contrast.
6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,480
That we went
from two years of corona standstill
7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,480
suddenly to this.
8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,400
[Suzan] Yeah.
9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,560
[Freek] Which made it
almost too much at times.
10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,440
But now when I think back in retrospect,
it really was crazy.
11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,560

SANTA BARBARA
UNITED STATES, SEPTEMBER 2022
13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,520
To us, it feels short, but secretly,
we've been playing for a long time.
14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,120
The first ten years,
we weren't really Suzan & Freek, but…
15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,880
-It was there though. [laughs]
-Yeah.
16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Suus studied in Delft.
17
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,640
I went to Delft a few times a week.
I had my guitar with me and a camera.
18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,680
That's where
we started recording "The Minutes."
19
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,520
[pensive music continues]
20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,600
When we'd play till five in the morning,
we had to pack up ourselves.
21
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:27,240
I think the best way to keep going
is to stay true to yourself
22
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:31,080
because it's easy
to get dragged into all the fuss.
23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,840
If a lot of people say you're fantastic,
24
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,120
you also believe you're fantastic.
25
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Luckily, we have each other
to share it a bit.
26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,040
I want to maintain my boundaries
and be okay with myself.
27
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,360
I still want to identify
with my friends and those around me.
28
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,320
So that I don't…
29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,560
I want to stay the same.
30
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,240
-And I'm grateful for you.
-[Freek] Yeah?
31
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,040
-We did it well together, didn't we?
-Yes, we did.
32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,200
You often say, "I really like
being Suzan from Suzan & Freek."
33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,120
I say it a lot.
34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,480
And I really like
being Freek from Suzan & Freek.
35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,600
That's what I'm most grateful for.
36
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,240
-That we could do it together.
-Yes, me too.
37
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,120
I think it's great too.

[crowd cheering]
43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Right now, I think Suzan & Freek
are the biggest act in the Netherlands.
44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,040
[Suzan] It seemed
like all the special things
45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,840
you can experience as an artist
were all planned in one month.
46
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,840
[Freek] I just want
what's private to remain private.
47
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,880
That's the last piece of us
that still belongs to us.
48

[dramatic music continues]
49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,920
[Suzan] We've become entertainers.
50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,040
[woman] It's remarkable that they're
two down-to-earth people from Achterhoek
51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160
who have gained national fame.
52
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Proud.
53
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,560
Yes, I think we did dream of this.

BERLIN
JULY 2022
60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,120
[Freek] We're in Berlin,
and on this square,
61
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:33,640
I asked a very special question.
62
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,400
And what did she say?
63
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,640
[Freek] Yes!
64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,520
-We're getting married.
-Yes.
65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,760
[Freek] Apart from our family,
no one knows.
66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,680
No.
67
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,960
[Freek] We'll tell everyone soon.

-Yo.

-Sure.
-Yeah, good race?
74
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,640
I think the party is great,
but I hope everyone likes it.
75
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,840
-Hey, Mother.
-Did you finish?
76
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,200
-Yes, of course. Tomorrow--
-A hair.

weren't allowed to drive.
78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,960
[man 2] Blood alcohol too high.
79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,120
-We're watching it.
-Isn't it crazy here?
80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,640
Yes, it's crazy here,
because I still feel like the old Suzan.
81
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,600
It's a bit stressful with all the people.
82
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,200
Then I have to get on that stage.
I think it's more stressful here.
83
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:30,840
-Things converge here.
-Yes.

[indistinct chattering]

-[woman] When did it happen?
-[Suzan] In Berlin. Nice, right? [laughs]
86
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,120
I was totally surprised.
87

[all laughing]
88
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,040
[Suzan] We were in Berlin
on Monday morning.
89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,400
He said, "What a coincidence,
Coldplay is playing."
90
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,520
"The first concert we went to together."
91
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,160
-That's our style of music.
-[woman] I'm getting goosebumps.
92
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,800
[Suzan] He said, "Oh, what a shame.
Or maybe it's not a coincidence."
93
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,000
"I've got great VIP tickets.
The best seats."
94
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,160
"To celebrate love with you,
we're going tonight." Sweet, right?
95
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,640
-Shall we start?
-All good.
96
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,320
-Do it?
-Yes, it's good.
97
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,000
-Do you dare? I don't.
-Yeah.
98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,080
-Will you do the directing?
-No.
99
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,800
You have to say it.
You have to talk loudly.
100
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,520
You can do it.
101
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,280
[whistling]
102
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,720
-Speech.
-No.
103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,320
Little speech.
104
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Hello, everyone.
105
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960
This is uncomfortable,
but we're going to do it anyway.
106
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,560
At least say hi to everyone. [laughs]
107
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,080
Great that you're all here
at our Zwarte Cross pre-party.
108
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,360
Um, since we probably won't see you
at the festival later,
109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,880
we thought we'd have a little party here.
110
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,360
And also a little pre-party
for something else
111
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,360
because I got down on one knee
in Berlin for Suus.

119
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,840
[Suzan] "Don't you get fed up
with each other?"
120
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,160
"Which one wears the trousers?"
121
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,640
"Do you ever argue? Oh, what about?"
122
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,040
They always ask which characteristics
123
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,160
of Suus or mine the other doesn't like.
124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,840
To which I still
need to find the perfect answer,
125
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,800
but it always comes down to,
"No, we really like it…"
126
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,680

because we'd just gone through corona.

We sat at home for two years,
then suddenly we could restart.

they had gotten so big.

-[man 1] No.
-[Freek] Okay.
163
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,520
Just the intro as usual.
164
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,080
And then I say "okay" again.
165
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,520
Then you tap him in.
166
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,240
We'll have to see if that goes smoothly.
167
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,240
And then we play it all the way to…
168
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,400
From the bridge, from the sing-along bit.
169
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,680
And at some point
we start counting out. Then we know it.
170
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,680
[Suzan] That's too complicated, Freek.
171
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200
It's nice, though.
It doesn't matter, does it?
172
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,680
[Suzan] You'd best get it right tomorrow.
Keep it like it was.

00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,680
Yes, Freek. It sounds better.
174
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,560
Try to do it one bar earlier.
Give it a try.
175
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,640
But tomorrow we'll do it differently.
Why are we doing this?
176
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,160
[man 1] One, two, one, two…
177
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,280
Yeah.
178
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,360
-Let's try it once.
-Okay, one more time.
179
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,600
[man 2] I think Suzan
has a keen eye for detail
180
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,920
and wants to be sure
what their product is.
181
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,240
[man 3] They are both like that.
182

THE BAND
183
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,960
Freek too. But he's also
a bit of a rocker, so to speak.
184
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,520
-[man 3] Yeah.
-[man 2] He has done something.
185
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,080
He wants it to be really great
and assert his own view.
186
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,400
[man 4] And it's funny
that Suus will then say,
187
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,560
"We need to move on now.
We've only got five more minutes."
188
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,120
And that really is the case.
189
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,280
But you can see Freek thinking…
190
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,280
[laughs] …"I don't want that.
I just want to figure this out now."
191
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,960
So that's the conflict.
192
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,760
But I actually think
they have a good balance.
193
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,120
[man 3] Yeah, me too.
194
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,240
They're the perfect couple

without getting tired of them.
196
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,280
Because they're not acting.
They're genuine.
197
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,440
[man 4] They don't act any differently
from how we know them.
198
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,960
[Suzan] I like trying out the ideas,
but at some point--
199
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,600
[Freek] That's what
the sound check is for. As for the rest…
200
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,440
We don't have rehearsals with the band.
We have nothing.
201
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,440
That's the time for it. Let's use it.
202
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,640
[Suzan] That's true too.
But let's change it first.
203
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680
Let's try again tomorrow.
We have another show.
204
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,360
[Freek] I spent hours on it this morning.
205
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,520
[Suzan] We're doing it then?
206
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,800
[Freek] After five minutes,
"Let's leave it."
207
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,800
-Yeah, then I'm going to look into it.
-[Suzan] Doesn't have to be all at once.
208
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,680
-[Freek] Okay.
-[Suzan] I'm not going to do it.
209
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,680
Let's not forget that we're a team.
210
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,960
[Freek] Yeah, of course.
211
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Hey.
212
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,080
-Hello.
-Hey. Hello.
213
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:17,960
[Freek] When you get bigger,
a lot of things come into play.
214
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,960
It becomes more
about other things and less about music.
215
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,080
[reporter] I have one more question
about Farmer Wants a Wife.
216
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,560
And that's why I want to do things myself.
217
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,720
Because that only has to do
with making music, so to speak.
218
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,040
And… I miss that sometimes
because everything gets bigger,
219
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,280
and music becomes
a smaller percentage of what you're doing.
220
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,360
-Yes.
-[Suzan] Yeah, it's the last show.
221
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,840
-Who's got a yell?
-[man 1] Who has a yell?
222
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:44,960
[man 2] Uh…
223
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,920
-[Suzan] Well, super, guys.
-[band] Yeah. Hey!
224
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,720
[Freek] Maybe it's also
a case of letting go.
225
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,360
But we used to do
everything as a pair, so…
226
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,920
And that is a bit…
227
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,120
At some point, someone else has to do it.
228
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,240
But I try to hold on as long as possible
229
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,600
because for me,
it's very much about making music,
230
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:12,120
and why I started making music
and why I really like playing in a band
231
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,080
and being very much on top
of everything that happens.

As a singer still, sometimes…
241

because I think
Suus sings much better than me.
242
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,360
And I see myself…
always saw myself more as a guitarist
243

who also sang a bit.
244
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:58,400
And now it's the opposite.
I often don't have a guitar

I do this. With my heels on.

So I don't move.

But when I'm with other women,
I often have…
275
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Then they have their own makeup artists,

That's it.

It does vibrate a bit,
so you might feel a tickle
308

but not so bad
that I actually have to cough.

If she finds she can't do something well,

she works on it
and makes sure that it's good.

you can't take care of it yourself.

You need to take time to get better.
But she's very hard on herself.
313
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,280
She already found it hard
to sing at 80% for an evening
314
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,280
because she always gives 110%.

you can replace a band member,

Small piano, large piano.
338
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,320
Always busy with music.
339
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,120
[calm music playing]
340
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,840
You got this, Suusje.
341
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,880
-Huh? Good luck.
-Good luck.
342
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,960
It will be fine.
343
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,200
-It'll be fine, yeah?
-Yeah.
344
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,200
[all laughing]
345
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,640
Keep in mind, the audience is up close.
346
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,240
-Yeah.
-So you don't get a shock.
347
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,120
[woman 2] Whatever he did,
everything had to be possible.
348
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,480
You could say in advance,
"You can't do that."
349
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,560
BRIGIT
FREEK'S MOTHER
350
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,200
Well, he thought it could be done
and did it his own way.
351
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,760
He also didn't care
what he used to make music.
352
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,320
A tiny guitar, ukulele,
353
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,240
even on a tennis racket,
it didn't matter what.
354
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,080
He made the show himself.
355
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,520
[crowd cheering]
356
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,120
[Brigit] When I see him performing now,
357
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680
I think, Freek, delightful.
You're still that toddler at heart.
358
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,960
Just now you're on a different stage.
359
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,560
But really you're still just
that kid from 15 years ago, so yeah.

00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,280
[Freek] Voilà. Whoo!
373
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:03,200
-Oh, man.
-Hey.
374
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,480
Oh!
375
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,560
I'm glad I survived it.
376
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:10,960
-[woman 1] You did it.
-So good, man.
377
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,520
-I'm happy with it.
-[woman 1] Well done.
378
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,680
My voice is better too, thankfully.
379
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:16,680
It was good, man.
380
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,800
It went well. Good that you jumped in.
381
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,040
If I just stay quiet, I don't cough.
382
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:24,840
I'm so happy. Really well done.
383
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,080
It was good.
If you haven't played for a week
384
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,160
and then it's suddenly full force…
385
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,520
-[Suzan] Yeah.
-Well done. Are you happy?
386
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,200
-Very happy.
-[Freek] Relieved?
387
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,680
Yes, it's a relief.
388
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,440
[woman 2] Freek was the first real
389
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,560
serious relationship
where she was really in love.
390
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,520
I think Freek was 14 and Suzan 15…
391
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:43,840
ANNE
SUZAN'S SISTER
392
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,720
…so they've been together for a long time.
393
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,720
[calm music playing]
394
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,920
She was always busy with him.
395
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,560
At our middle school,
we always had school concerts,
396
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,920
and the years were a bit mixed.
397
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,080
[playing slow ballad]
398

[playing rock music]
399
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,600
And then things
kind of developed between them.
400
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:18,560
[calm music playing]
401
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,160
[Brigit] That was a love of…
402
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,040
Then, one afternoon,
he was at Suzan's, trampolining,
403
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:27,560
and he came home and said,
"We broke up. We saw each other too much."
404
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,920
Well, then the courtship
was over. [laughing]
405
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,320
[calm music continues]
406
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,280
Afterwards, Suus would always say,
"I really miss Freek."
407
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:37,960
She was on MSN the whole time.
408
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,560
SANNE & PIEN
SUZAN'S FRIENDS
409
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,400
-She was online the whole time.
-Yeah. [laughs]
410
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,360
-So that Freek… Well, it worked.
-Yeah.
411
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,760
It didn't take long,
then Freek was like, "Hmm."
412
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,080
[calm music continues]
413
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,640
[man] Freek was a showman.
414
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,520
If I walked into a bar behind him,
all the women's heads would turn…
415
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,000
JOSH
FREEK'S FRIEND
416
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,840
…and you're there thinking,
"They're all looking at Freek."
417
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,360
I think Freek is the party animal
418
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,640
and Suzan is more serious.
419
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,560
And it works well.
That Freek is occasionally pulled along,
420
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,600
"You're not staying out until three, four.
Come home with me."
421
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,280
And at one point,
I came downstairs on Sunday evening.
422
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:19,440
Jesse was on the couch, and I said,
"Freek's forgotten his sweater."
423
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,480
And Jesse said, "If he forgot his sweater,
424
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,320
he's forgotten his shoes too."
425
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,240
[laughs] Yeah.
426
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,880
And so my dad went straight upstairs,
and they were lying there together.
427
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,440
In the bottom
of the bunk bed, I think. [laughs]
428
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,920
For us, it was a sign
that this is going… This is serious.
429
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,640

SUZAN & FREEK
433
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,760
[Suzan] We spend a lot of time together.
434
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,160
People often ask
if we drive each other crazy,
435
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,560
but I don't think so.
436
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,960
I can spend every day with Freek.
It's all good.
437
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,400
I know him inside and out.
438
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,800
He knows when to keep his mouth shut
or when he can chat with me.
439
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,400
-Almost 3,000 tickets already sold.
-[Freek] Great.
440
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,200
In three hours?
441
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,640
-Pretty relaxed.
-[Freek] "Pretty relaxed"? Totally insane.
442
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,520
If this sells out quickly,
then there's that on top.
443
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,560
[Suzan] And if not?
444
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,680
-Then not.
-Okay.
445
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,560
Then you have a theater tour of 47 shows.
446
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,160
[calm music playing]
447
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,680
[Suzan] I'm very organized,
but I can only… My schedule is full.
448
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,760
This is it. I know exactly…
we don't need to add more.
449
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,560
And Freek can take on three other jobs.
He can handle that.
450
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,960
He never gets stressed, no.
451
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,200
[calm music continues]
452
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,400
I'm a very responsible person.
453
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,160
I need to sleep well, eat a bit well,
454
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,400
have a bit of structure in my life,
455
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,280
then I have self-confidence,
then I feel good.
456
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,000
And with Freek there,
I don't have to do anything alone.
457
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,200
Freek and I together,
that's nice. [laughs]
458
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,960
[playing melody on guitar]
459
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,480
[Freek] I find
that I need structure above all.
460
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,480
If I sit on the couch, it doesn't work out
461
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,160
because I get into
a kind of miserable state.
462
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,120
I'm waiting
until I can do something again.
463
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,200
I always think I'm quite relaxed,
464
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,240
but sometimes I realize,
maybe if you just keep doing things,
465
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,320
it doesn't necessarily make you relaxed.
466
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,160
But for me, it is also a way
467
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,320
to keep a bit of space free in my head.

-Where do we go?
-Here, I think.
474
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,920
I think here too. There's a door.

-[Freek] Hey.
-[Suzan] Hello.
476
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,320
Should we ask?
It looks like a loading dock?
477
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,920
-[Freek] No, here's the hall.
-Oh, we're there!

-You don't want to be queasy.

that it will all be full soon.

-[Ineke] Hi.
-Look where I am.

No amount of money
could get me on that stage.

-Won't you just die?
491
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,320
-[Suzan] And here's the stage.
-[Ineke] Terrible.
492
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,600
[Suzan] And there's the center stage.
That's funny too.
493
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,120
[Ineke] And where do we stand? Below?
494
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,520
[Suzan] Between the first
and second sections.
495
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,240
There's the section
where you can invite people along.
496
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,480
-And you'll be over there.
-[Ineke] Where the lights are?
497
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,240
[Suzan] Yes, by the lights.
By the round ones.
498
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,680
[Ineke] Really.
499
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,040
And that's the VIP section
where we always were.
500
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,000
[Ineke] That's where
you always performed, right?
501
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,080
Yes, that in-between bit back there.
502
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,800
[Ineke] That's your little tent.
503
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,640
That's our tent. Yes, right.
504
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,720

front of house, and monitor man.
672
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:01,960
And security.
673
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,760
-[playing melody on guitar]
-[Freek laughs]
674
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Financial director.
675
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,760
He doesn't have to do anything now.
He's earned it all.
676
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,160
[Jerry] The first time I heard of them,
677
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,000
I was working
at the 4Days Marches in Nijmegen.
678
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,960
I was a freelancer,
and I worked for the company
679
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,480
that arranged the light and sound
for that stage.
680
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,320
I had no idea who Suzan & Freek were.
681
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,000
JERRY MULDER
SOUND ENGINEER, SUZAN & FREEK
682
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,600
I had to google them.
683
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,880
I had to look online to see who they were.
684
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,280
So I knew who I had to look for,
an image, so to say.
685
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,320
But they could just have been
two people in town,
686
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,320
walking through the town.
687
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,520
-[indistinct chattering]
-[Freek] Yeah, great.
688
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,720
-[Suzan] I might go very…
-[Jerry] He stood here.
689
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:42,800
[Freek] Last chorus.
690
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,000
[Jerry] It was a relatively small stage.
691
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,040
There was no room for a band.
It was full with two people.
692
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,960
Nice, guys.
693
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,200
I thought, where's everyone coming from?
694
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,920
It was suddenly so full.
695
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,200
We'll see who can sing loudest.
Are we ready?
696
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,880
NIJMEGEN 4DAYS MARCHES
NIJMEGEN, JULY 2017
697
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,960
We'll start with my side. Here it comes.
698
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,640
One, two, three.
699
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,960
[starts singing line]
700
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,360
[crowd singing loudly]
701
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,640
[Suzan] We can do it better.
Let's go! One, two, three.
702
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,040
[starts singing line]
703
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,280
[crowd singing loudly]
704
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,520
We can be louder!
705
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,600
One, two three.
706
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,760
[starts singing line]
707
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,160
[crowd singing loudly]
708
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,840
[Jerry] Then I realized that they were
more famous than I thought they were.
709
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,800
We were in Nijmegen tonight,
and it went like this…
710
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,800
[crowd cheering loudly]
711
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,480
[Jerry] Then we stayed in touch.
712
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,960
That's why I'm sitting here now. [laughs]
713
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,960

GRAVELAND STUDIO
KORTENHOEF, JANUARY 2022
715
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,720
When I go back and forth, it gets so…
716
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,280
-So boring.
-Here in the lows.
717
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,160
I want it to be even cooler.
I find it too easy.
718
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,720
Can I say that?
719
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,960
It began to snowball
and kept getting bigger.
720
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,800
[woman] At that time, I also had Bierpop.
721
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,840
I asked if they wanted
to play as the opening act.
722
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,440
"Oh, yes. Very much. What an honor."
And all saying "Wow!"
723
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:26,440
MISS MONTREAL
ARTIST
724
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,800
It was really nice
725
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,840
because they sat there together
726
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,280
with her on the piano and Freek all dopey.
727
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,560
Sorry, Freek.
728
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,720
On the guitar, a bit like this.
729
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,680
And so nervous, boy.
730
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,240
But the hall sang along with everything,
and then I realized,
731
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,600
this will last another month,
then it's going to explode.
732
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,080
They did more shows.
733
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,560
They were the opening act
for international shows.
734
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,840
Always doing covers.
735
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,560
Then we said, "Shall we write a song?"
736
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,080
"Yeah, that's good."
737
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,680
And I asked,
"Have you ever written a song?"
738
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,440
"We've never written a song.
We've tried, but it was nothing."
739
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,160
"Shall we write a song then?" "Okay."
740
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:07,800
Freek worked with us behind the scenes,
741
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,680
uh, and we did talk about those videos.
742
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,760
How they did it, why they did it.
743
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,760
And I increasingly came to understand
744
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,520
that we could learn from him. As a label.
745
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,680
How he has a very strong sense
of what works for people.
746
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,360
What works for the public.
747
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,800
We always said,
"If you have your own song,
748
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,280
we'll talk about it."
749
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,800
Until Freek came to my office one day,
750
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,640
"We've written our own song."
751
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,760
And I remember… It doesn't happen often,
and I'll say it here…
752
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,800
I heard that song once, and I said,
"Freek, that's a genuine hit."
753
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,520
I remember he replied, "You think so?"

I still get that today.
769
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,200
Recently at the hairdresser,
it came on… every time.
770
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,000
She's only human but so special,
and you're so proud. [laughs]
771
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,440
Thank you all for coming this evening.
772
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,520
Hopefully, you get home quickly.
773
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,920
-Safe journey. Thank you.
-Thank you.

[Freek] I like it best
with the bun on her head.
776
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,440
This is also nice, but…
777
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,360
This is just for one night, you know.
In the glam.
778
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,520
In the glam.
779
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,320
It's pretty, that dress.
780
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,920
-You think it's pretty?
-Yeah.
781
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,200
[vocalizing]
782
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,120
Okay.
783
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Armpits well-shaved?
784
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,080
Am I overdressed?
I see understated dresses.
785
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,200
[Freek] No, look at her.
786
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,800
-I was just about to say.
-Oh, no.
787
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,880
-Will it be okay?
-[Freek laughs] Yeah.
788
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,600
No, but I still feel like…
789
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,560
[Freek] That's always true
with things like this.
790
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,240
-Suzan, act like an artist.
-[Freek] Yeah.
791

EDISON POP AWARDS 2022
LEUSDEN, APRIL 2022
792
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,960
[Suzan] I realize that
I didn't start this to become famous.
793
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,680
That's the only thing
I find difficult at times.
794
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,720
And that's maybe the reason
795
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:54,480
why we never do anything
non-music-related on TV.
796
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,920
-Very good.
-[Freek] Great.
797
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,240
[Suzan] I like music.
I don't find being famous…
798
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,600
I would rather not be.
799
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,040
Great.
800
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,240
I don't know
if people have a complete image of me
801
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,360
because I'm not a person
who reveals my inner thoughts.
802
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,200
I also always tend
to make a joke out of everything,
803
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,320
whether good or bad.
804
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,400
I had a kind of Star Wars robot outfit,
805
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,200
and when I turned up,
Suus said, "We're not doing that." No, no…
806
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,680
On the other hand, that is who I am.
807
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,840
I'm still frequently discovering who I am,
808
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,560
and it's an ongoing quest.
809
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,440
-How are you?
-Yeah, I'm good.
810
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,640
I've sometimes heard people
talking about Suzan & Freek,
811
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:42,480
and I didn't think
they were talking about me.
812
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,120
Suzan & Freek has become
a separate thing in itself.
813
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,880
I think the challenge is
814
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,800
for us to clearly determine
what we will and won't give away.
815
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,360
If you can dream it, you can do it.
816
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,400
Likeable and Dutch to the core.
817
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,960
The Edison in the "Album" category
goes to Suzan & Freek.

Wow. Um, thank you. An Edison.
821
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,480
Hey, thank you. Also nice. Um…
822
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:16,440
[camera clicking]
823
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,400
-Great.
-Great.
824
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,000
-Together is good.
-Yeah.
825
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,320
[Suzan] Freek was already
working in the music industry
826
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,720
behind the scenes.
Before we did this, before we were famous.
827
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:30,560
And I used to go along
to the music festivals.
828
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,120
And nobody spoke to me,
which I thought was great.
829
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,120
I'm a bit of an introvert. Just let me
stand in a corner with a drink.
830
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:42,040
And now, suddenly,
everyone comes over to me.
831
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,120
And sometimes I think,
do these people really like me?
832
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,440
Or do they want to get something from me?
833
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:49,840
It feels that way at times.
834
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,680
You get the feeling
that everyone wants something from you.
835
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,720
We have very good people around us.
I'm looked after.
836
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,200
THE ACHTERHOEK
FREEK'S MOTHER'S HOUSE, APRIL 2022
837
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,040
[Freek] Hi, hi.
838
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,880
Do you always leave keys in the door?
839
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,000
-All good?
-Freekie.

00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,800
-Yes.
-Yeah. All right.
841
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,800
You've got a book by Robbie Williams?
842
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,800
Yes, you can have it. I got it this week.
843
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,960
-[Freek] Is it good?
-[Brigit] I had…
844
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,720
I got to pick out all these books,
and then I thought,
845
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,520
if Freek comes, I could surprise you with…
846
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:29,960
-Nice.
-Take it with you.
847
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,280
-Freek, do you want tea or coffee?
-[Freek] I'll have water.
848
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,000
[Brigit] The best song?
849
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,280
I still find "Hoofd In De Wolken"
a really nice song.
850
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:40,800
And…
851
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,040
"Als Het Avond Is."
I think that's a nice song, but
852
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,400
it's a painful song for me.
853
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,960
-I don't know myself.
-[Brigit] You've got plenty of records.
854
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,280
Maybe also "Als Het Avond Is."
Just because it was the first,
855
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,000
and looking back, it also related to you.
856
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,520
But Freek, that song was…
857
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,080
-You'd already finished it in July.
-[Freek] Yeah.
858
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:09,480
And when the bolt from the blue
came in August…
859
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,760
-[Freek] You separated, yeah.
-We separated.
860
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,240
I mean, from one moment to the next…
861
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,160
So actually…
862
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,640
The story was tacked on afterward.
863
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,240
[Freek] Yes, while you--
864
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,560
-But when you hear the lyrics…
-[Freek] Yeah.
865
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,560
-…that was exactly it.
-[Freek] Yeah.
866
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,240
-Strange.
-[Freek] Very much.
867
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,600
[calm music playing]
868
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,760
When we'd just broken through,
869
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,200
you separated from each other,
and that was a moment
870
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,600
where I…
871
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,520
Everyone had enough on their plate.
872
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,880
In that situation,
if things were not going so well for me,
873
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,080
I didn't want to pass that on to you.
874
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,720
The night that you first…
875
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,240
I'm telling it.
876
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,800
The night that
you played it for the first time…
877
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,960
I think it was a Wednesday evening.
878
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,080
At eight o'clock, we, Vincent and I,
879
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,640
put our signatures on the divorce papers.
880
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:04,360
The same evening.
I'll never forget that moment.
881
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,200
So that song has so much meaning for me.
882
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,600
But people around us all say,
883
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,840
"How can a song be made like that?
It's your story."
884
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,080
-Yeah, exactly.
-But it still touches me.
885
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,680
[calm music continues]
886
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,360
[Freek] In just one moment,
887
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,840
your entire family is turned upside down.
888
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,040
You always think
that other parents get divorced.
889
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,440
You hear about
so-and-so with divorced parents.
890
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,800
And my parents were both almost 60.
891
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,200
You think it won't ever happen.
892
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,520
But it did happen.
893
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,840
I hadn't been living at home
for seven or eight years.
894
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,720
I would go home on the weekend,
895
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:58,400
but I didn't necessarily realize
that it wasn't going so well for them.
896
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,760
So it really came as a blow.
897
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,680
And, in the beginning,
898
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,720
I didn't have much contact with my father.
899
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,960
He was with his new love.
900
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,960
I find it difficult because
I don't really like to talk about it.
901
00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:22,320
Suus in particular really helped me a lot.
902
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,800
It costs me a lot of energy
to be angry with people.
903
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,160
I find I handle it best by saying,
904
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:32,800
"Let's try and look at the good things."
905
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,480
And let's see what we can take from that.
906
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,640
Suus really helped me with that.
907
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,680
Today is a bit of a special day for us.
908
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,400
[Freek] We already mentioned,
it's my birthday.
909
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,440
It's your birthday too, Freek.
910
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,240
But also because
it's three years to the day
911
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,160
since "Als Het Avond Is"
reached number one.
912

-[crowd cheering]
-[Suzan chuckles]
913
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,640
And I think it's a funny story
because we both had regular jobs,
914
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,800
and we didn't really have
that much to do with music.
915
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,440
We just did it as a hobby.
916
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,880
And we thought, let's write our own song.
917
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,080
And we'll see.
918
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,040
And we brought it out,
and it kept growing until suddenly
919
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,160
it was at number one.
On that Sunday evening, we decided,
920
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:21,160
"We're going to resign and go for it."
921
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:23,440
-["Als Het Avond Is" playing]

-Yeah.

-One of the steps.
-Use that step?
952
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:13,400
[Toon] When I first heard the plans
for the Ziggo Dome, I have to admit that…
953
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,120
If you think about it rationally
954
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,520
from an industry perspective,
you think, "Steady now, guys."
955
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:23,440
But Suzan & Freek…
the rules don't apply to them.
956
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,160
[Freek] Wow.
957
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,040
Bizarre to think this
will be totally full of people tonight.
958
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,640
[Wout] Freek is truly
the brains behind Suzan & Freek
959
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:35,880
who is busy planning well in advance.
960
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,480
I think Freek already dreamed
of the Ziggo Dome at an early stage
961
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,440

on the neighborhood bar.

-[Suzan] This one was very heavy.

that so much still needs doing.

-[Suzan] I think that too.

-I don't blame anyone.
-[Freek] No.

-Can I have a bit of tape?
-[Suzan] Hey. Hello!
980
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,440
Stress. So much stress.
Freek too, you could tell from afar.
981
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,480
Because there's so much to run through,
and things keep going wrong.
982
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,240
That makes Freek and me nervous.

We're both people who want
everything perfectly under control.

on top of each other in your earphones.

-Just all mixed up.
-[Suzan] Yeah.

that should be there are missing.

-[Suzan] Yes, you need them here.

but then we get nervous.

I have to say that Freek and I,

over the past two years,
1025
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,200
have dreamed
of a moment like this so often.

"How long will it take?
When can we finally do it?"
1027

that everyone there came for you.

I'm kind of tired but not tired at all.

[Suzan] I thought it was great, wasn't it?
1082
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:44,000
Yeah, right?
1083
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,320
Like you've come
to the top of the mountain.
1084
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,800
"Here we are. The top."
And then, for the rest of the vacation,
1085
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,440
you don't have to worry
about climbing the mountain.

a water or something.

-[Freek] Sure.

-Maybe something tasty, some chocolate.
-Of course.
1115
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:41,520
[Suzan] Great.
1116
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,920
[calm music continues]
1117
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,840
Sometimes, when I look at old pictures,
1118
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,760
when I see us
playing to three people somewhere,
1119
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,040
I think, that's how it was back then.
1120
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:55,960
[Freek] Yeah.
1121
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,840
[Suzan] When I look at photos
of us in a caravan, playing on the street.
1122
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:02,800
[Freek] Now, I think--
1123
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,360
-[Suzan] What an effort.
-[Freek] What a lot of effort we put in.
1124
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,720
-We really persevered.
-We kept going.
1125
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:12,280
We are Suzan & Freek.
Thank you for a lovely evening.
1126
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,200
And I was just as happy
doing it for far fewer people.
1127
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,520
-I liked it too.
-Now it's even more fun.
1128
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,320
That wasn't our motivation for doing it.
1129
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,680
-Otherwise, we might never have begun.
-No.
1130
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,280
You get more and more used to it.
1131
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:28,320
I have…
1132
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,240
Slowly, it's starting to be the case
1133
00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:33,640
that we see ourselves on that list.
1134
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:38,840
To my mind, I don't think we have changed.
Just the world around us has changed.
1135
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,600
More people come to see us,
and people respond differently to us.
1136
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,080
But I'm really happy
that things between us feel the same,
1137
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,360
and also between us
and our family and friends,
1138
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,280
it still really feels like before,
and I think that is--
1139
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,880
-[Suzan] Good that it never went away.
-[Freek] No.
1140
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,640
You often say, if I wasn't here,
you would have led a different life.
1141
00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:03,200
We've been lucky
that we've had each other.
1142
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:04,560
It keeps us grounded.
1143
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,160
But I can imagine,
with everything going on around you…
1144
00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:12,280
It's so intense sometimes,
and it's nice to have a filter in between.
1145
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,040
For some people,
that filter is drink or something else.
1146
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,440
And I can very well imagine
that that's enjoyable.
1147
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,800
But luckily, we have each other
to share it a bit.
1148
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,040
Yeah.
1149
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,600
[Freek] What I personally really like,
is when I think
1150
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,280
that it's actually,
1151
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,520
I don't want to say "much more fun,"
1152
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,080
but it's still loads of fun together,
and that's the most important thing.
1153
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,600
I think it's important too.
1154
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:42,920
I think it would be really nice
to combine it with a family at some point.
1155
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,000
-That would really be…
-Mm-hmm.
1156
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:47,520

1175
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,560
I can see much better from here.
Yes, that's better.
1176
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:46,840
[Freek] Loser does the dishes.
1177
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,400
-Oh.
-[Suzan] Not even close.
1178
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,440
I'd like to provide
a commentary on your throws.
1179
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:55,720
Well, pretty close.
1180
00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,200
[Freek] Oh!
1181
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,920
I think I feel the pride
more than usual when I'm on vacation.
1182
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,040
I suddenly think,
so, that was really cool, right?
1183
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:06,960
Yeah.
1184
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,680
Or when we tell someone or show a video
of something we're involved in…
1185
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,040
-Then I suddenly think it's really cool.
-Yeah.
1186
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,840
Stupid. Then I think,
it's nice to enjoy it for once.
1187
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,280
Always so modest. We should also be proud.
1188
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,640
[calm music playing]
1189
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,240
Wow. This is really cool, right?
1190
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:32,160
Yeah?
1191
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,600
It's really cool.
1192
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,600
[Suzan] You were sorry
that I couldn't enjoy it as much
1193
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,280
in the beginning.
1194
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:41,880
[Freek] Because I really did enjoy it,
1195
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,720
and now and then
you didn't really enjoy it so much.
1196
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,320
On the way home, you would sit in the car
1197
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,800
crying at the thought
of doing it again tomorrow.
1198
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,040
Because I didn't know
if my voice would hold up.
1199
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,000
I found it hard.
1200
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,200
-Oh my God.
-[Freek laughs] Yeah, I know. Great.
1201
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:02,560
And then I was worried because I saw
you weren't enjoying it as much as I was.
1202
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,280
And I thought, oh…
1203
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,760
Is this speed and intensity…
1204
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,040
Is this what Suzan wants?
1205
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:13,600
[Suzan] Sometimes I'm a quitter.
I think, I'm not going to do that.
1206
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,240
You're afraid of the unknown.
1207
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,040
Then you say,
"I'd rather keep doing what I…"
1208
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,240
With every concert hall,
you said, "We're doing this one?"
1209
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,440
"No, I'm happy to keep doing the old one."
1210
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,440
-[laughs]
-And that was after Ziggo--
1211
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,160
-I find it more stressful.
-Yeah.
1212
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:31,400
That's also an internal safety mechanism,
which is good.
1213
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,280
-Yeah.
-Which I sometimes have less.
1214
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,080
"The fun is in the fear,"
but it's still difficult sometimes.
1215
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,640
But you're good at that,
and with you, I'm good at it too.
1216
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,880
[Freek] I really want
to fly a kite in this weather.
1217
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,680
[Suzan] Beautiful, isn't it?
I love it by the beach. Nice breeze.
1218
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:51,680
[Freek] Yeah, man.
1219
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,000
The Netherlands is really small.
And Belgium. That you…
1220
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,800
Which is good,
because if it sometimes gets too much,
1221
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,040
you can simply come here,
1222
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,160
but actually I find it
much too nice to want to leave.
1223
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:07,720
[helicopter blades whirring]
1224
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,320
LIBERATION DAY FESTIVAL
4 SHOWS ON 1 DAY, MAY 2022
1225
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,640
[Suzan] It seemed like
all the special things
1226
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,680
you can experience as an artist
1227
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,840
were all scheduled in one month.
1228
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,800
[crowd cheering]
1229
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,160
[Freek] Good evening, Leeuwarden.
1230
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,280
You look good from up here.
1231
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,200
Goddamn.
1232
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:30,160
We're at the halfway point today.
1233
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,320
We had Ziggo,
1234
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,360
and then it all started.
1235
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,040
-Sleep at home, as much as possible.
-[Freek] Yeah.
1236
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:39,840
It is a bit too busy.
1237
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:42,920
-[Suzan] Ziggo Dome.
-[Freek] The Ziggo.
1238
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:48,720
Then came the first show,
Vrienden van Amstel, then 538 Koningsdag.
1239
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,280
Thank you.
1240
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,400
Six or seven shows, Vrienden van Amstel.
1241
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,200
MAY 2022
1242
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,480
Four Liberation Day shows.
1243
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,960
LIBERATION DAY FESTIVAL
LEEUWARDEN, MAY 2022
1244
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:04,520
Four shows, Vrienden van Amstel.
1245
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,200
And so we had 18 in two weeks.
1246
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,360
Plus all the rehearsals related to it all.
1247
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,800
You sometimes forget that.
1248
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,080
Can you make sure
we hear Dirk's mic in our ears?
1249
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,520
But after "Mag Ik," we go straight here.
1250
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,600
-Receive the applause.
-[Freek] Yes, exactly.
1251
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,640
-Then Dirk sets the groove, and we join.
-[man] That's good. Okay.
1252
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,640
[Suzan] You have rehearsals
for anything new,
1253
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,800
and we rehearsed a lot
before the Ziggo Dome.
1254
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,000
And you sing a lot in private too.
1255
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,440
So, pretty grueling. [chuckles]
1256
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,960
♪ It's quiet here on the other side ♪
1257
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,160
♪ But I come from here ♪
1258
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,160
That was Snelle.
1259
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:43,600
[crowd cheers]
1260
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,040
[Snelle] I don't know
where they get the energy.
1261
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,520
They're the two hardest-working people
that I know.
1262
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,920
My colleagues and I sometimes
want to have a day when we think
1263
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,720
we'll just skip that set of photos…
1264
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:57,760
SNELLE
ARTIST
1265
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,360
…or we'll walk around
behind the red carpet, that sort of thing.
1266
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,960
But they always have energy
1267
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,480
and are always "on" and can do everything.
1268
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,600
I see them working, then afterwards,
just the two of them in a corner
1269
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:13,960
being themselves, and I think…
1270
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:18,680
I admire how they can always turn it on,
1271
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,640
to always be Suzan & Freek.
1272
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,200
I'm happy that was the last show
and that we persevered through it all.
1273
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:27,640
[Freek] Yeah, yeah.
1274
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:31,160
-And that I had a good time.
-And then you're right there again.
1275
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,960
[Suzan] I'd rather skip an after-party
and do an extra show
1276
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:35,960
because I find after-parties so…
1277
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,720
I'll do them in a few years
when I'm no longer enjoying it,
1278
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:41,800
then I'll celebrate
all my parties. [laughs]
1279
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,360
Now, I think,
we've got all the cool festivals.
1280
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,560
-Surely you can't miss that?
-[Freek] Yeah.
1281
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:47,480
No.
1282
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,560
I think, how things are now,
1283
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,320
just being very respectable
1284
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,600
with no drugs, no rock 'n' roll, you know?
1285
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,960
Thank God they don't have that.
1286
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,200
Sometimes a bit,
which is too bad, but fine.
1287
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,200
But it's just really nice, you know?
1288
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:07,240
They are so steady but not boring.
1289
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:08,800
And I think,
1290
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,600
if you can keep that up
over the long term,
1291
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,960
you can take on the whole world.
1292
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,200
[Suzan] If I go to bed late,
I can't manage.
1293
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,400
We have to push on a bit.
1294
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,640
I think it's important to do it well.
1295
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:26,880
That you don't think, uh,
1296
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,360
"If I'd just done my best
and gone to fewer after-parties,
1297
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,840
because it didn't sound good."
I'd find that annoying.
1298
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,080
I wouldn't want that.
1299
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,560
It has to be good. And fun and good.
1300
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,800
I'm always a bit scared
and think, "As long as it goes well."
1301
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,280
We can still walk.
1302
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,600
LIBERATION DAY FESTIVAL
ASSEN, MAY 2022
1303
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,760
-Hello.
-[man] Hi. Time for a quick photo?
1304
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,720
[Suzan] We have to perform, sorry.
1305
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,440
You can't have photos
with everyone at a show anymore.
1306
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,880
I used to do it all the time
earlier this year.
1307
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,040
We'd spend an hour and a half
after the show taking photos with people,
1308
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:04,400
and then I realized
1309
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,520
it was starting to take more energy
than the show itself.
1310
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,520
[crowd singing along to "Blauwe Dag"]
1311
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,040
[Suzan] Now that one,
now we have to finish the row.
1312
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:18,680
Half an hour, grimacing…
1313
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,320
But if you do that every night,
you realize it can't continue.
1314
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,000
"Suzan & Freek, don't do it!"
1315
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,600
Then I think, how bad.
We really shouldn't do that.
1316
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,680
I find it pathetic.
So that's tricky at times, yes.
1317
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:31,800
[song ending]
1318
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,080
[Freek groans]
1319
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,440
[crowd cheering]
1320
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:38,960
[Freek groans]
1321
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,200
-Nice.
-[Suzan] Great, guys.
1322
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,040
[woman] We'll get you straight on the bus.
1323
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,040
-[Freek] What?
-We'll put you straight on the bus.
1324
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,040
[Freek] Yeah, great.
1325
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:53,120
[Freek laughs]
1326
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:55,800
[Suzan laughs, kisses]
1327
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:57,760
[Freek laughs] Holy shit.
1328
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,200
-[Suzan] The show was cool, right?
-[Freek] It was.
1329
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,880
[Suzan] I'm gonna sit on the floor.
Then they won't see me.
1330
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,360
-[grunts] My abs.
-[Freek] Exactly.
1331
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:07,440
This is nice.
1332
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:09,240
[Freek] Oh my God.
1333
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:12,320
[Suzan exhales]
1334
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:14,760
Funny, I thought they wouldn't see me now.
1335
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,560
I look up, and everyone is
watching me sitting on the floor.
1336
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:18,520
All waving.
1337
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,280
[Suzan] Can you pull that curtain shut?
1338
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:24,440
I'll sit for a moment.
1339
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,520
Otherwise, I always feel so…
1340
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:28,960
[Freek speaks indistinctly]
1341
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:30,160
Thank you.
1342
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,000
[Freek] I think we're very approachable,
which is what we want to be, and we are.
1343
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,800
But that sometimes, uh,
1344
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,160
has the disadvantage
that everyone comes up to you.
1345
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,240
Which is sometimes really nice,
but sometimes not so much.
1346
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,800
When I go to a restaurant
with Freek and my parents,
1347
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,120
and we sit next to a table
with a young girl,
1348
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,320
and she begins to cry
out of panic at seeing us,
1349
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,920
and I find it intense to have that effect,
1350
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,280
that everything around us has changed.
1351
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,080
Everyone is waiting here. [laughs]
1352
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:02,960
-Can you see?
-Hello.
1353
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,160
-Oh, how bad. I feel so bad.
-No, that's not bad.
1354
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,600
They're waiting.
They want a photo, and we're in the bus.
1355
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:09,560
[laughing]
1356
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,520
I wish there were some blinds.
1357
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,120
-[woman laughs]
-[Freek sighs]
1358
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:17,200
-Shouldn't we go for a photo?
-You'll be there for over an hour.
1359
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,440
-There are so many people.
-Okay, that's fine.
1360
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,280
With some things,
I feel it's getting more difficult.
1361
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:26,000
When I walk by an elementary school,
and the entire yard shouts my name,
1362
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:30,240
I think, shit, maybe I shouldn't
walk past a schoolyard anymore.
1363
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,640
Then never walk past a schoolyard again?
That's crazy.
1364
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,000
[camera clicking]
1365
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,600
[Suzan] Can you turn the camera off?
Thanks.
1366
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,680
[Freek] On stage, it's okay.
It's more the stuff around it.
1367
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,800
[Suzan] Yes. Everyone just runs around
taking photos all the time.
1368
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,520
You think,
just leave me alone for a second.
1369
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:54,320
[Freek] Keep walking.
1370
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,920
-[Suzan] Nice it's just the two of us.
-[Freek] Yeah, great.
1371
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,520
[pensive music playing]
1372
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,560
I'm happiest when it's the two of us
in the car heading home.
1373
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:13,320
Because then everyone around us is gone,
and it's just the two of us for a while.
1374
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,760
Isn't it crazy,
what we're experiencing, you know?
1375
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,000
That's what makes me happiest.
1376
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:22,680
[laughing]
1377
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,000
[Suzan speaks indistinctly, laughs]
1378
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,760
-[Freek] Right?
-Yes, honey. I like it too.
1379
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:33,960
[Freek] It's on here,
the busiest period of the year.
1380
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,760
-We made it. Until the end.
-[Freek] Yeah, right?
1381
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,560
It was a lot, but it was great.
1382
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,560
Nineteen shows in seventeen days,
1383
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,400
and each show for more than 15,000 people.
1384
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,000
-[Freek chuckles]
-I think that's pretty intense.
1385
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,720
And we were thinking,
can we do this? Will it work?
1386
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,920
Can the crew handle all these shows?
Will it work technically?
1387
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,880
-[Freek] Will your voice hold out?
-Will it hold out?
1388
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,080
But it all went great,
so now the rest of the year…
1389
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,960
Surely now it will be fine.
1390
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,000
BUMA AWARDS
BUSSUM, MAY 2022
1391
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:08,680
[indistinct chattering]
1392
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:10,640
Important day.
1393
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:15,640
Hey, hello.
1394
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:19,320
[cameras clicking]
1395
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,080
[laughing]
1396
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,920
-Hey, hello.
-Journalist from the Weekend.
1397
01:08:26,440 --> 01:08:29,720
What a life you're living.
Compared to a couple of years ago.
1398
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,120
-You have to think, what happened?
-Yeah.
1399
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,480
-Do you experience it the same way?
-Yeah. The last month in particular was…
1400
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,920
-The guy just came right up to me.
-Yes, but you mustn't do that.
1401
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,160
That's the Weekend. We don't talk to them.
1402
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,200
Can you just check? Whether he…
1403
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,560
Say that they should let us see it.
1404
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,920
Or just get rid.
We didn't actually want to talk with him.
1405
01:08:51,440 --> 01:08:55,800
We once had an interview where
someone was taunting us with questions
1406
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,600
in the hopes we would snap.
I can't remember what it was,
1407
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,120
but it's always
about something very personal.
1408
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,880
While I'm there thinking,
we've written a new song.
1409
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,120
Maybe you should ask about that.
1410
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,480
-I should have walked away.
-[Suzan] I was looking for you.
1411
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,880
I was there thinking, "Should I, yes, no?"
1412
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:14,960
That was in the course of the questions.
1413
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:17,200
Suzan, hello.
1414
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,720
[Freek] I think there is
always a certain line between,
1415
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,920
uh, who we are as artists
and what is truly private, for us alone.
1416
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,720
And I think that's something
1417
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,480
we have to think hard about
to keep things chill for us.
1418
01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:35,640
[host] This might be a heavy question
to ask right at the start…
1419
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:36,560
MARCH 2022
1420
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,760
…but do you guys have a type of wild card?
1421
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:42,720
In case you want
to dance with someone else or…
1422
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:44,440
-[both laugh]
-[host] Separately.
1423
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,440
-What a strange question.
-A wild card.
1424
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,200
We have an open relationship… no.
1425
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,280
-No, we don't have a wild card. [laughs]
-No. No.
1426
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,400
In my head, I'm kind of thinking
1427
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:59,920
that I want to tell 100% Nederland,
1428
01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:03,720
"Cut out that bit about the wild card."
Because I…
1429
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,120
What's private needs to remain private.
1430
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,560
That's the last piece of us
that we still own.
1431
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:11,680
Here, your pass.
1432
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:12,680
-Thank you.
-Great.
1433
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:13,600
MARCH 2022
1434
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,000
I think we're saying
that the story about the wild card--
1435
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,080
That can be taken out.
Then he'll understand.
1436
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,040
-Is that okay?
-Yes, I want…
1437
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,640
[Suzan] We've become entertainers.
And we're also still just people.
1438
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,920
Sometimes you notice…
You wouldn't ask your friends that.
1439
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,920
It's not very respectful, actually.
1440
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,200
What do you think?
You find the question awkward.
1441
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,520
-Maybe you shouldn't ask it then.
-[Freek] Exactly.
1442
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,000
[Ineke] It goes far, I think.
1443
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,880
What they do with people, they…
1444
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,400
But that applies to everyone.
Everyone is under the microscope.
1445
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:45,560
If anything happens here in the village,
1446
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,320
then everyone talks about it for a week.
1447
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,920
And the following week,
they talk about something else.
1448
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,440
But in the world of fame,
it's really hard right now, I think.
1449
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,400
And sometimes it's nothing,
but it gets so widely reported.
1450
01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:01,120
That doesn't make you happy.
But it's independent of them.
1451
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,040
It's the case for everyone.
I don't like it.
1452
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,920
I hear some people ask,
1453
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,480
"Isn't it hard
working with your partner all day
1454
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,320
and seeing them in private?"
1455
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,560
Well, we had a farm, so…
1456
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:15,720
It isn't hard.
1457
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,160
If you're with someone
you like being around
1458
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,400
and who you work well with,
1459
01:11:22,480 --> 01:11:24,440
it's not annoying at all.
1460
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,600
We've never found it annoying,
and we don't see that in them either.
1461
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,480
It's crazy that people
are interested in the first place.
1462
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,240
[calm music playing]
1463
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:37,680
LOOSDRECHT LAKES
AUGUST 2022
1464
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,360
I'll have an Aperol. Bang!
1465
01:11:40,440 --> 01:11:41,760
[chuckles]
1466
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:42,760
[man] But we have…
1467
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,720
-[chuckles]
-[woman] I have four glasses.
1468
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,800
I wanted to bring truffle. Suus said no.
1469
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,440
-There's beer. But no…
-[woman] Here's another one.
1470
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,160
[overlapping indistinct chatter]
1471
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,200
[all laughing]
1472
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:54,920
[woman] No, that can't be.
1473
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:57,000
-[Freek] There's cork in it.
-Cork.
1474
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:58,160
[Freek] Cork. [babbles]
1475
01:11:58,240 --> 01:11:59,080
[woman] Well…
1476
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,000
-Hey, cheers.
-[all] Cheers.
1477
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,560
[all cheering]
1478
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,560
[Suzan] At the beginning
of this busy period, I found it hard
1479
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,600
because we saw each other less.
1480
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:10,640
And I found that difficult.
1481
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,320
But I've noticed that
1482
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,520
a certain small club of people
formed around me
1483
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:17,600
that has become smaller over time
1484
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,200
and that I want to see more.
1485
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,760
[calm music continues]
1486
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,200
I'm really very conventional.
Yes. That's true. Yes.
1487
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:27,280
AT HOME
SUZAN & FREEK
1488
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:30,360
But it strikes me
that a lot of people are.
1489
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:31,520
Then I think,
1490
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:35,160
how nice that we found each other,
because we get along well.
1491
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:39,040
I'm not one for full-on parties.
I don't stay up late often.
1492
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:42,200
I don't drink, don't do drugs.
I'm really quite boring.
1493
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,960
But I do like
doing nice things with my friends
1494
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,400
and having a good time
with people I care about.
1495
01:12:47,480 --> 01:12:48,840
[speaking indistinctly]
1496
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:50,800
But, on the other hand, conventional…
1497
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:55,320
I do really great shows.
So what exactly is… cool?
1498
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,920
Getting blind drunk on the weekend
1499
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:02,240
or playing a concert for 40,000 people?
So, yeah…
1500
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,840
Yes, maybe I am a bit conventional,
1501
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,040
but I find myself to be pretty cool
with what we do. [laughs]
1502
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,520
[melody playing on piano]
1503
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,160
[Freek] I've noticed
that spending time together
1504
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:33,600
doesn't consume any energy.
1505
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,680
We're good at being together,
1506
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,800
sometimes without having to say anything.
1507
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,440
It lets us both recharge.
1508
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:44,120
And it isn't the case
that we view it as an activity,
1509
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,040
"Let's do something together now."
1510
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,400
We just enjoy being together
and that… yeah.
1511
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,680
I don't really think about it.
I just find…
1512
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:56,920
If I want to go cycling,
I'll say, "Want to come for a ride?"
1513
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,240
Then we'll go cycling together.
I prefer that to being alone.
1514
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,680
We could fill up our entire week.
Requests for TV things
1515
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,640
and interview for this,
we could appear in Belgium for this…
1516
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,480
But I said to Freek,
"I don't want to be so busy."
1517
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,360
I just don't want that.
I also want to have a nice life.

01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,480
I remember well that we…
1535
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,520
Just before corona, we were in the meadow.
1536
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,360
Kraantje Pappie was on the main stage.
1537
01:15:04,440 --> 01:15:06,320
-We said, "Great show."
-[Freek] Yeah.
1538

with the big "Daddy" at the back.
1539
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:09,120
[Freek] Yeah.
1540
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,680
-I thought, that guy's made it.
-[Freek laughs] Yeah.
1541
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:13,800
Well, let's go then.
1542
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:19,480
I think I'm still very keen
to make people happy.
1543
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,320
And I want people to like me
1544
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,080
and like what I do.
1545
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:26,000
So, maybe I,
1546
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:27,640
above all,
1547
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:33,760
should try a little harder to accept
that there is a large group that like it.
1548
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,960
I should be happy with that.
We're successful in what we do.
1549
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:38,520
People come to our shows.
1550
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,080
And I try very much
to look at what we do have
1551
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:45,960
and the people who like it, instead of
the people who maybe don't like it
1552
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,920
and feel the need to say that or… Yeah.
1553
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,520
-Have fun. [laughs]
-I still find it quite exciting.
1554
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:53,760
-Exciting, right?
-Suus.
1555
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,000
-I find it horribly scary.
-Exciting, huh?
1556
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,840
-Nice to have you here.
-Super cool.
1557
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,080
-Horribly scary.
-It will be all right.

You can tell by looking at you,
you really are all…
1559
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:04,160
Just breathe calmly.
1560
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,320
-The first song, then you'll be okay.
-Yeah, that's right.
1561
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:08,440
Then I'll be back.
1562
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:09,360
Ah!
1563
01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:10,800
It will be fine.
1564
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:12,880
You're wearing a gorgeous outfit.
1565

I'm glad you guys are here.

[Wout] The Zwarte Cross
is the festival of The Achterhoek.
1568
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,600
Freek is never afraid to think big,
1569
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:29,040
although I don't think he ever dared dream
1570
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:32,200
that they would play
the main stage at Zwarte Cross.
1571
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,440
Get yourself together.

from the main stage cooking fries.

She never dared dream
that she would ever stand up there.

[Miss Montreal] They haven't been
so big for long,
1577
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,880
but if I know them
1578
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,400
and they keep doing what they want,
1579
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,120
I think they'll keep going a long time.
1580
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,760
Until they're 80 or something.

We also try
1608
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,160
to involve family and friends a bit more.
1609
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,200
That's maybe because
we found it more challenging before,
1610
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,720
and then you don't let other people in
1611
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:38,040
because you think, I'm busy enough
with making sure it's all good.
1612
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,000
Now we have the space and the control
1613
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:45,240
to let friends and family
literally stand next to us on stage
1614

and watch along.
1615

but in this room, it feels
1675
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,440
as if we're still
doing it for fun, which is true.
1676
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,240
[Freek] I've never told Suzan
that we earn money from it.
1677
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,960
-Keep it that way.
-Yeah. [laughing]
1678
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:00,560
Last week you were wearing a body warmer.
What was that?
1679
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:03,200
Was that a statement or something?
What was it?
1680
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,200
I thought, that can't be true.
1681
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,520
Why did you do that? Now you mention it.
1682
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,280
-What was that?
-[Freek] You can do that. It's hip.
1683
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:11,960
-Is it really hip?
-[Freek] Yes, it's hip.
1684
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:14,560
I sometimes lag behind,
but I thought, Freek!
1685
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:16,960
-Is it really hip?
-Yes, it's really hip.
1686
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:18,920
[Brigit] Yes?
1687
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,880
[both laughing]
1688
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,520
[Brigit] Also, the shoes
with those narrow trousers
1689
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:30,000
and that large jacket.
I thought, why? [laughing]
1690
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,640
Why is everyone
wearing such a large jacket?
1691
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:38,320
-[Freek] If you like it, you should do it.
-No, but yes. Okay.
1692

[Freek sighs]
1694
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,840
-A little tent, or not?
-[all laughing]
1695

-Cheers, guys.
-Yeah, guys.
1696
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:49,760
There's a fly near you all the time.
1697
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,840

-[laughs] Wash?
