00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:21,920
<i>Contrast.</i>

4
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,480
<i>That we went</i>
<i>from two years of corona standstill</i>

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,680
<i>suddenly to this.</i>

6
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,560
<i>-Yeah.</i>
<i>-Which made it almost too much at times.</i>

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,440
<i>But now when I think back in retrospect,</i>
<i>it really was crazy.</i>

8
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Beautiful, isn't it?

00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,400
UNITED STATES, SEPTEMBER 2022

10
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,520
To us it feels short. But secretly
we've been playing for a long time.

11
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,120
The first ten years,
we weren't really Suzan & Freek, but…

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,880
-It was there though.
-Yeah.

13
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Suus studied in Delft.

14
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,160
I went to Delft a few times a week.

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,680
I had my guitar and a camera. That's where
we started recording <i>The Minutes.</i>

16
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,600
When we'd play till five in the morning,
we had to pack up ourselves.

17
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:27,240
I think the best way to keep going
is to stay true to yourself

18
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:31,080
because it's easy
to get dragged into all the fuss.

19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,840
If a lot of people say you're fantastic,

20
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,120
you also believe you're fantastic.

21
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Luckily, we have each other
to share it a bit.

22
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,040
I want to keep my boundaries
and be okay with myself.

23
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,360
I still want to identify
with my friends and those around me.

24
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,320
So that I don't…

25
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,560
I want to stay the same.

26
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,240
-And I'm grateful for you.
-Yeah?

27
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,040
-We did well together, didn't we?
-Yes, we did.

28
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,240
You often say, "I really like
being Suzan from Suzan & Freek."

29
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,160
I say it a lot.

30
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,520
And I really like
being Freek from Suzan & Freek.

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,640
That's what I'm most grateful for.

32
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,040
-That we could do it together.
-Yes, me too.

33
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,920
I think it's great too.

34
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,200
<i>Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,</i>
<i>Suzan & Freek!</i>

35
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,000
I think Suzan & Freek are the biggest act
in the Netherlands right now.

36
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,440
<i>It seemed like all the special things</i>
<i>you can experience as an artist</i>

37
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,840
<i>were all planned in one month.</i>

38
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,840
<i>I just want</i>
<i>what's private to remain private.</i>

39
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,880
<i>That's the last piece of us</i>
<i>that still belongs to us.</i>

40
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,920
<i>We've become entertainers.</i>

41
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,040
It's remarkable that they're
two down-to-earth people from Achterhoek

42
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160
who have gained national fame.

43
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,680
Proud.

44
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,560
Yes, I think we did dream of this.

45
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,480
SUZAN & FREEK
BETWEEN YOU AND ME

46
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,320
<i>We're in Berlin.</i>

47
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,120
<i>And on this square,</i>

48
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:33,640
<i>I asked a very special question.</i>

49
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,440
<i>And what did she say?</i>

50
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,680
<i>Yes!</i>

51
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,600
<i>-We're getting married.</i>
<i>-Yes.</i>

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,280
-<i>Apart from our family, no one knows.</i>
<i>-No.</i>

53
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,960
<i>We'll tell everyone soon.</i>

54
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,280
THE ACHTERHOEK
ZWARTE CROSS PRE-PARTY WITH SUZAN & FREEK

55
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,360
JULY 2022

56
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,040
-Hey, brother. All good?
-Yo.

57
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,880
-Sure.
-Yeah, good race?

58
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,640
I think the party is great,
but I hope everyone likes it.

59
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,840
-Hey, Mother.
-Did you finish?

60
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,200
-Yes, of course. Tomorrow--
-A hair.

61
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,960
-Rik and Rob weren't allowed to drive.
-Blood alcohol too high.

62
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,120
-We're watching it.
-Isn't it crazy here?

63
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,640
Yes, it's crazy here,
because I still feel like the old Suzan.

64
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,600
It's a bit stressful with all the people.

65
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,200
Then I have to get on that stage.
I think it's more stressful here.

66
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:30,840
-Things converge here.
-Yes.

67
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
-Nice, right? In Berlin.
-When did it happen?

68
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,120
Nice, right? I was totally surprised.

69
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,040
We were in Berlin on Monday morning.

70
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,400
He said, "What a coincidence,
Coldplay is playing."

71
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,520
"The first concert we went to together."

72
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,160
-That's our style of music.
-I'm getting goosebumps.

73
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,320
He said, "Oh, what a shame.
Or maybe it's not a coincidence."

74
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,080
"I've got great VIP tickets.
The best seats."

75
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,160
"To celebrate love with you,
we're going tonight." Sweet, right?

76
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,680
-Shall we start?
-All good.

77
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,360
-Do it?
-Yes, it's good.

78
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,000
-Do you dare? I don't.
-Yeah.

79
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,080
-Will you do the directing?
-No.

80
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,800
You have to say it.
You have to talk loudly.

81
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,520
You can do it.

82
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,720
-Speech.
-No.

83
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,320
Little speech.

84
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Hello, everyone.

85
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960
This is uncomfortable,
but we're going to do it anyway.

86
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,560
At least say "hi" to everyone.

87
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,080
Great that you're all here
at our Zwarte Cross pre-party.

88
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,360
Since we probably won't see you
at the festival later,

89
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,880
we thought we'd have a little party here.

90
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,360
And also a little pre-party
for something else

91
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,440
because I got down on one knee
in Berlin for Suus.

92
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:50,120
How great.

93
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,840
Congratulations.

94
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,920
"Don't you get fed up with each other?"

95
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,160
"Which one wears the pants?"

96
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,640
"Do you ever argue? Oh, what about?"

97
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,040
They always ask which characteristics

98
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,160
of Suus or mine the other doesn't like.

99
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,840
To which I still
need to find the perfect answer,

100
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,800
but it always comes down to,
"No, we really like it…"

101
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,680
It's always the same question.

102
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,280
SIX MONTHS EARLIER
START OF THE CLUB TOUR

103
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,440
<i>Now it's silent</i>

104
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,120
AT HOME

105
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:40,280
<i>Your hand in mine</i>
<i>Or is this too little to carry on</i>?

106
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,480
<i>I just don't know how</i>

107
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,400
<i>With everything I do</i>

108
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,160
<i>I can't bear it when the evening comes</i>

109
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,760
<i>Oh, because in the evening</i>
<i>I miss you often</i>

110
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,240
I think it was very strange for everyone
because we'd just gone through corona.

111
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,520
We sat at home for two years,
then suddenly we could restart.

112
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,080
We went from zero to a hundred.
Suddenly our schedule was totally full.

113
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,400
So much happened that this…

114
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,800
I feel we have now come so much further.

115
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,920
It all went fairly organically.

116
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,960
There was no great plan
for what to do next.

117
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,520
And the popularity grew.

118
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,200
The shows became bigger.

119
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,560
And then came corona.

120
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,560
Suzan and Freek
kept doing their own thing.

121
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,640
But what no one realized

122
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,520
was that once corona was over,

123
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,520
they had gotten so big.

124
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,600
Actually we knew it,
but we didn't feel it.

125
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,160
We didn't, they didn't either.

126
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,920
<i>I've already thought a hundred times</i>

127
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,880
<i>I'll call you tonight</i>

128
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:49,800
<i>Tonight</i>

129
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,400
<i>I'll tell you I still think of you</i>

130
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,600
<i>Waited a hundred times</i>

131
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080
<i>But I'll call you tonight</i>

132
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,280
<i>Tonight</i>

133
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,120
Have you already played this?

134
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,040
-No.
-Okay.

135
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,520
Just the intro as usual.

136
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,080
And then I say "okay" again.

137
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,520
Then you tap him in.

138
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,240
We'll have to see if that goes smoothly.

139
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,320
And then we play it all the way to…

140
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,360
From the bridge, from the sing-along bit.

141
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680
And at some point,
we start counting out. Then we know it.

142
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,600
That's too complicated, Freek.

143
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,200
It's nice, though.
It doesn't matter, does it?

144
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,040
You'd better get it right tomorrow.
Keep it like it was.

145
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,680
Yes, Freek. It sounds better.

146
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,560
Try to do it one bar earlier.
Give it a try.

147
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,640
But tomorrow we'll do it differently.
Why are we doing this?

148
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,360
-Let's try it once.
-Okay, one more time.

149
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,600
I think Suzan has a keen eye for detail

150
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,000
and wants to be sure
what their product is.

151
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,520
They are both like that.

152
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,960
Freek too. But he's also
a bit of a rocker, so to speak.

153
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,520
-Yeah.
-He has done something.

154
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,080
He wants it to be really great
and assert his own view.

155
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,400
And it's funny that Suus will then say,

156
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,560
"We need to move on now.
We've only got five more minutes."

157
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,360
And that really is the case.

158
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,280
But you can see Freek thinking,

159
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,280
"I don't want that.
I just want to figure this out now."

160
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,960
So that's the conflict.

161
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,760
But I actually think
they have a good balance.

162
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,680
Yeah, me too.

163
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,240
They're the perfect couple
you could follow all day on Instagram

164
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,000
without getting tired of them.

165
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,280
Because they're not acting,
they're genuine.

166
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,440
They don't act any differently
from how we know them.

167
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,960
I like trying out the ideas,
but at some point--

168
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,720
That's what the sound check is for.

169
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,440
As for the rest… We don't have
rehearsals with the band, we have nothing.

170
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,440
That's the time for it, let's use it.

171
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,640
That's true too.
But let's change it first.

172
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680
Let's try again tomorrow.
We have another show.

173
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,560
-I spent hours on it this morning.
-We're doing it then?

174
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,800
After five minutes, "let's leave it."

175
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,840
Yeah, then I'm going to look into it.

176
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,320
-It doesn't have to be all at once.
-Okay.

177
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,680
I'm not going to do it.

178
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,680
Let's not forget that we're a team.

179
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Yeah, of course.

180
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Hey.

181
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,080
-Hello.
-Hey. Hello.

182
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:17,960
When you get bigger,
a lot of things come into play.

183
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,960
It becomes more
about other things and less about music.

184
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,080
I have one more question
about <i>Farmer Wants a Wife</i>.

185
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,560
And that's why I want to do things myself.

186
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,720
Because that only has to do
with making music, so to speak.

187
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,640
And…

188
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,040
I miss that sometimes
because everything gets bigger

189
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,280
and music becomes
a smaller percentage of what you're doing.

190
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,200
-Yes.
-Yeah, it's the last show.

191
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,000
-Who's got a yell?
-Who has a yell?

192
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,920
-Well. Super, guys.
-Yeah. Hey!

193
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,720
Maybe it's also a case of letting go.

194
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,360
But we used to do
everything as a pair, so…

195
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,920
And that is a bit…

196
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,080
At some point, someone else has to do it.

197
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,240
But I try to hold on as long as possible

198
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,600
because for me,
it's very much about making music,

199
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:12,120
and why I started making music
and why I really like playing in a band

200
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,080
and being very much on top
of everything that happens.

201
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,200
The two of us always played covers,
and we decided where it went.

202
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,960
It would be crazy to play with a band now
and let all that go.

203
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,920
<i>Even more beautiful than I imagine</i>

204
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,440
<i>Even more beautiful than your reflection</i>

205
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,760
As an artist, I'm not insecure,

206
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,280
because I'm happy with what we do
and I'm proud of what we do.

207
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,560
As a singer still, sometimes…

208
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,360
because I think
Suus sings much better than me.

209
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,360
And I've always seen myself
more as a guitarist

210
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,480
who also sang a bit.

211
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:58,400
And now it's the opposite.
I often don't have a guitar

212
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,960
but just stand and sing on stage.

213
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,640
I still often hear a little voice,

214
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,440
"I'm actually a guitarist
who doesn't have his guitar with him."

215
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:11,560
Thank you.

216
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,640
When I move on stage wearing heels,
I do this. With my heels on.

217
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,800
So I don't move.

218
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,600
I'm much more masculine, or tougher.

219
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:34,560
And then it doesn't fit together.

220
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,920
And Freek is just really handsome.

221
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,280
He just looks like a model.

222
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,640
And I have a somewhat

223
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,280
more characteristic face.

224
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,800
I'm not totally dissatisfied at all,
but not super satisfied either.

225
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,560
If I look nice, I think, yes that's good.

226
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,320
But if it's a bad angle or something,
I really think…

227
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,440
Then you can really detest yourself.

228
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,520
So…

229
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,520
Yeah, I do find it difficult sometimes.

230
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,920
I don't want
to make a big issue out of it.

231
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,840
I'm rummaging in my purse
with all my drugstore makeup.

232
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,240
When streaming, it's with other women.

233
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,200
But now I'm alone with Freek
and I don't have a real comparison.

234
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,880
But when I'm with other women,
I often have…

235
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Then they have their own makeup artists,

236
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,360
and they sit for hours.

237
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,040
They look great. More and more beautiful.

238
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Then I think a bit,

239
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,560
we have half an hour.
I think I'll see the makeup artist.

240
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,720
Like with the men, I just sit down.

241
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,840
Then I think, should I do more?

242
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,640
Then you doubt yourself.
Is this a good choice?

243
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,360
Because you stand alongside them.

244
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,880
But… yeah.

245
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,160
I'm still a bit lost.

246
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,560
Until now, I've always done it this way.

247
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,440
-Hi there.
<i>-Hello.</i>

248
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,720
I'm covered in sequins.

249
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,360
SINGING COACH

250
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,880
I slept really poorly last night,
maybe just a little stress, I guess.

251
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,640
I felt like it was my stomach,
like you said.

252
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,040
And I ate fruit
and had a good lunch today,

253
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,720
and now I haven't had dinner,
just a banana.

254
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,640
I'll eat right after the show,
to keep my stomach calm.

255
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,880
Because I've noticed
I'm coughing much less now.

256
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,920
<i>-Oh, yes. You see? That's good.</i>
-Yeah.

257
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,320
When we were allowed to perform again,
I got sick after a few shows.

258
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,600
I got a kind of laryngitis,
and I got everything at once.

259
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,880
It really scared me.
"What have I got, how long will it last?"

260
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,720
I was suffering so much
that I even had to cancel some shows.

261
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,080
It was terrible.

262
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,640
<i>Try not to breathe in too much.</i>
<i>Especially where your hand is.</i>

263
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,480
<i>That's it.</i>

264
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,160
It does vibrate a bit,
so you might feel a tickle

265
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,360
but not so bad
that I actually have to cough.

266
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,040
She's a real perfectionist.
If she finds she can't do something well,

267
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,800
she works on it
and makes sure that it's good.

268
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,120
But with your body,
you can't take care of it yourself.

269
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,080
You need to take time to get better.

270
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,600
But she's very hard on herself.

271
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,280
She already found it hard
to sing at 80% for an evening

272
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,400
because she always gives 110%.

273
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,800
So that really caused me a lot of stress.

274
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,880
You suddenly think,
wow, we're all here together

275
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,120
but we're dependent
on my voice and Freek's voice.

276
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Because, however unpleasant,
you can replace a band member,

277
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,600
but if Freek goes on stage
with someone else,

278
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,640
I don't know if people would accept that.

279
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,040
I felt some pressure.

280
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,400
<i>All my life…</i>

281
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,200
-It feels okay.
-Good.

282
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,440
-Just precarious.
-It's all there, right?

283
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,400
I just feel a bit… It will be fine.

284
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,840
And just cast off
the consonants quickly, as Tamara says.

285
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,000
-Or just hold out the mic. Your turn!
-Now your turn.

286
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,720
And if you make it
to a song where you think…

287
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,840
It's tense when you've been sick, but…

288
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,880
you've got it.

289
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,960
Very precise.

290
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,160
If she was working on something,
it had to be--

291
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,360
-Good.
-Good, yes.

292
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,600
She was very busy with music back then.

293
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,720
SUZAN'S PARENTS

294
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,800
Small piano, large piano.

295
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,320
Always busy with music.

296
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,840
You got this, Suusje.

297
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,880
-Huh? Good luck.
-Good luck.

298
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,960
It will be fine.

299
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,200
-It'll be fine, yeah?
-Yeah.

300
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,640
Keep in mind, the audience is up close.

301
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,240
-Yeah.
-So you don't get a shock.

302
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,200
Whatever he did,
everything had to be possible.

303
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,520
You could say in advance,
"You can't do that."

304
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,640
FREEK'S MOTHER

305
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,200
Well, he thought it could be done
and did it his own way.

306
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,760
He also didn't care
what he used to make music.

307
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,320
A tiny guitar, ukulele,

308
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,240
even on a tennis racket,
it didn't matter what.

309
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,080
He made the show himself.

310
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,120
When I see him performing now,

311
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680
I think, Freek, delightful.
You're still that toddler at heart.

312
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,960
Just now you're on a different stage.

313
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,560
But really you're still just
that kid from 15 years ago, so yeah.

314
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,640
<i>Asked for an opinion</i>

315
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,640
<i>I'm no longer myself</i>
<i>And that already feels strange</i>

316
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,960
<i>Normally everything passes me by</i>

317
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,440
<i>But not today</i>
<i>This one's for me</i>

318
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,480
<i>This one's for me</i>

319
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,080
<i>This one's for me</i>

320
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,280
<i>This one's for me</i>

321
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,640
<i>This one's for me</i>

322
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,680
<i>This one's for me</i>

323
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,280
Everyone in Arnhem. Thank you!

324
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,440
Voilà.

325
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:03,200
-Oh man.
-Hey.

326
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,560
I'm glad I survived it.

327
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,880
-You did it.
-So good, man.

328
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,520
-I'm happy with it.
-Well done.

329
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,680
My voice is better too, thankfully.

330
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:16,680
It was good, man.

331
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,800
It went well. Good that you jumped in.

332
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,040
If I just stay quiet, I don't cough.

333
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:24,840
I'm so happy. Really well done.

334
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,080
It was good.
If you haven't played for a week

335
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,160
and then it's suddenly full force.

336
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,520
-Yeah.
-Well done. Are you happy?

337
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,200
-Very happy.
-Relieved?

338
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,680
Yes, it's a relief.

339
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,440
Freek was the first real

340
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,560
serious relationship
where she was really in love.

341
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,880
I think Freek was 14 and Suzan 15…

342
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,920
SUZAN'S SISTER

343
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,720
…so they've been together for a long time.

344
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,920
She was always busy with him.

345
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,560
At our middle school,
we always had school concerts

346
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,600
and the years were a bit mixed.

347
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,600
And then things
kind of developed between them.

348
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,160
That was a love of…

349
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,040
Then, one afternoon,
he was at Suzan's, trampolining

350
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:26,320
and he came home and said, "We broke up."

351
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,920
"We saw each other too much."
Well, then the courtship was over.

352
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,280
Afterwards, Suus would always say,
"I really miss Freek."

353
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:37,960
She was on MSN the whole time.

354
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,560
SUZAN'S FRIENDS

355
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,400
-She was online the whole time.
-Yeah.

356
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,360
-So that Freek… Well, it worked.
-Yeah.

357
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,760
It didn't take long,
then Freek was like "Hmm."

358
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,640
Freek was a showman.

359
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,560
If I walked into a bar behind him,

360
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,320
all the women's heads would turn…

361
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,240
FREEK'S FRIEND

362
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,840
…and you're there thinking,
"They're all looking at Freek."

363
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,360
I think Freek is the party animal

364
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,640
and Suzan is more serious.

365
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,560
And it works well.
That Freek is occasionally pulled along,

366
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,600
"You're not staying out until three, four.
Come home with me."

367
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,280
And at one point,
I came downstairs on a Sunday evening.

368
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:19,440
Jesse was on the couch, and I said,
"Freek's forgotten his sweater."

369
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,480
And Jesse said, "If he forgot his sweater,

370
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,320
he's forgotten his shoes too."

371
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,240
Yeah.

372
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,400
And so my dad went straight upstairs,

373
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,440
and they were lying there together.
In the bottom of the bunk bed, I think.

374
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,920
For us, it was a sign
that this was serious.

375
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,800
AT HOME

376
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,760
We spend a lot of time together.

377
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,160
People often ask
if we drive each other crazy,

378
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,560
but I don't think so.

379
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,960
I can spend every day with Freek.
It's all good.

380
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,400
I know him inside and out.

381
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,800
He knows when to keep his mouth shut,
or when he can chat with me.

382
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,400
-Almost 3,000 tickets already sold.
-Great.

383
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,200
In three hours?

384
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,640
-Pretty relaxed.
-"Pretty relaxed"? Totally insane.

385
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,600
If this sells out quickly,
then there's that on top.

386
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,560
And if not?

387
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,680
-Then not.
-Okay.

388
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,560
Then you have a theater tour of 47 shows.

389
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,680
I'm very organized,
but my schedule is full.

390
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,760
This is it, I know exactly….
we don't need to add more.

391
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,560
And Freek can take on three other jobs,
he can handle that.

392
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,960
He never gets stressed, no.

393
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,400
I'm a very responsible person.

394
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,160
I need to sleep well, eat a bit well,

395
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,400
have a bit of structure in my life,

396
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,280
then I have self-confidence,
then I feel good.

397
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,880
And with Freek there,

398
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,200
I don't have to do anything alone.
Freek and I together, that's nice.

399
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,480
I find that I need structure above all.

400
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,480
If I sit on the couch,
it doesn't work out,

401
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,160
because I get into
a kind of miserable state.

402
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,120
I'm waiting
until I can do something again.

403
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,200
I always think I'm quite relaxed,

404
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,400
but sometimes I realize,
maybe if you just keep doing things,

405
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,320
it doesn't necessarily make you relaxed.

406
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,160
But for me, it is also a way

407
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,320
to keep a bit of space free in my head.

408
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:49,720
PREPARATION FOR ZIGGO DOME SHOWS

409
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,680
-So sick.
-Yeah.

410
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,240
Really funny.

411
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,000
-Fucking huge, hey?
-Yeah.

412
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,840
-Where do we go?
-Here, I think.

413
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,920
I think here too. There's a door.

414
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,720
-Hey.
-Hello.

415
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,360
Should we ask?
It looks like a loading dock.

416
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,680
-No, here's the hall.
-Oh, we're there!

417
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,880
Totally sick, right?

418
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,560
Jesus Christ.

419
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,680
The second section too, that's really…

420
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,960
-It's far away.
-You don't want to be queasy.

421
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,200
You can't imagine
that it will all be full soon.

422
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,400
-Well…
-You can?

423
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,760
Hi, Mom.

424
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,600
<i>-Hi.</i>
-Look where I am.

425
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,760
<i>No amount of money</i>
<i>could get me on that stage.</i>

426
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,120
-I don't doubt it.
<i>-Won't you just die?</i>

427
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,200
-And here's the stage.
<i>-Terrible.</i>

428
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,600
And there's the center stage.
That's funny too.

429
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,120
<i>And where do we stand? Below?</i>

430
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,440
Between the first and second sections.

431
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,240
There's the section
where you can invite people along.

432
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,480
-And you'll be over there.
<i>-Where the lights are?</i>

433
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,240
Yes, by the lights. By the round ones.

434
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,680
<i>Really.</i>

435
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,040
And that's the VIP section
where we always were.

436
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,000
<i>That's where you always performed, right?</i>

437
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,080
Yes, that in-between bit back there.

438
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,800
<i>That's your little tent.</i>

439
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,720
That's our tent. Yes, right.
It got out of control.

440
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,640
Some people go cycling or sit in a bar.

441
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,400
-Freek and Suzan made music together.
-Yes.

442
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,080
And did a lot of performances.
In bars too.

443
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,000
-Until late at night.
-A side job, at the same time.

444
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,320
-It was kind of--
-They worked hard.

445
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,040
Freek had a guitar,
and Suzan had that keyboard,

446
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:44,960
and Wout helped with the sound.

447
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,240
Suzan herself once said,

448
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,120
"If I know Wout is there,
I can perform well."

449
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,560
So Wout was very important in their lives.

450
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,920
I much preferred
being active behind the scenes.

451
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,880
FREEK'S BROTHER

452
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,440
Freek just enjoyed making music.

453
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,520
We'd often tinker together
to make a pedal board for a guitar,

454
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,480
or he would buy something online…

455
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,040
He didn't have a driver's license,
so I had to go along

456
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:09,920
or drive him over to Suzan.

457
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,920
Yeah, that was a really good time.

458
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,200
Because everything
we experienced together,

459
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,880
he then used to further himself.

460
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,280
-I'm curious to see if it's the same.
-Yeah.

461
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,880
-The corner here.
-Yeah.

462
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,400
They've got new screens.

463
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,800
-Member lounge.
-Oh yeah.

464
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:30,960
This is where we were.

465
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,640
These tables weren't there
and we stood here.

466
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,080
-Yeah.
-And people sat here eating.

467
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,840
And that's where the food was served.

468
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,600
We would see it coming over.

469
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,960
That was always funny
because usually you're timing it a bit.

470
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,000
You work toward the last song in the set.

471
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,640
To a kind of encore.

472
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,920
That never came.

473
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,840
And here you'd be playing,
and someone would come in,

474
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,880
"The concert is starting."
And everyone would get up.

475
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280
And we were like, "Have fun!"

476
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:02,600
-Exactly. "The end."
-Yeah. "Ta-da!"

477
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,520
Here are some more performances
in the Ziggo Dome.

478
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,600
So we were here. That was over there.

479
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,480
-You always had a tie on.
-Always a white shirt with a tie.

480
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,680
If someone needed a waiter,
I was always ready to help.

481
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Here, that was there.

482
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,520
-Yeah.
-How funny.

483
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,560
2014. So that's eight years ago.

484
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,200
Seven-and-a-half years ago.

485
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,120
When they started recording
<i>The Minutes</i> for Facebook,

486
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,280
and they brought out
a new number every week,

487
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:40,400
they needed a name.

488
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,400
Then they set up a Facebook page
as "Suzan & Freek." That's who they were.

489
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,800
So they didn't think of a real name.

490
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,560
Only when they started performing
as Suzan & Freek

491
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,040
did the name really become their name
because then we could no longer change it.

492
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,640
I thought this time was really nice.

493
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,720
Freek lived in Tilburg,

494
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,400
and Suzan lived in Delft.

495
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,640
They had their own lives, the two of them.

496
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,920
Then they had <i>The Minute,</i>
and on weekends they traveled

497
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
to Achterhoek together, if possible,
or separately,

498
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,320
because <i>The Minute</i> had to be recorded.

499
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,320
Then it was released
on Friday evening at 6:30.

500
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,760
That was the best time, Freek said,
to put something on Facebook.

501
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,720
…positioned like that? It's a bit uneven.

502
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,840
That bungling around
eventually helped them move forward.

503
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,040
-Ladies.
-And gentlemen.

504
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,120
-Give yourself a clap.
-Because we have…

505
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,440
Twenty thousand likes!

506
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,080
KORTENHOEF, JANUARY 2022

507
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,000
GOLD

508
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,240
Does it hang like that?

509
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,560
The advantage is
that you're also the artist.

510
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:00,880
Yes, great.

511
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,880
-A bit more there.
-I agree. Okay.

512
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,840
I think the start and end are great,
but that middle section…

513
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,000
-Yes, much less.
-Do you feel as if…

514
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,840
-It's not connected.
-Just do…

515
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,120
It needs to be simpler.
I'm hearing that now.

516
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,800
The first time I heard of Suzan & Freek,

517
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,640
we had sort of agreed to be in the studio

518
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,120
and get a cup of coffee.

519
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,080
Usually if I'm asked,

520
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,600
I would check, "What do they do?"

521
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,360
Or say, "Send me something."

522
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Or what makes sense at the time.

523
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,040
"Do you have any videos online,
so I can hear what you do?"

524
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,360
So I vaguely remember
that there was a video.

525
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,080
And it needs to grab me right away.

526
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,000
MUSIC PRODUCER

527
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,000
So I think, I like what you're doing.

528
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,160
And I can add something for you.

529
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,960
<i>All my life</i>

530
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,440
<i>I've been meeting the same people</i>

531
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,280
<i>How can it suddenly be so simple</i>?

532
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,240
<i>How can it suddenly be so simple</i>?

533
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,280
What if we make this a chorus?

534
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,960
I do feel the urge to--

535
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,200
-You want to do something with this?
-Well…

536
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,200
If you feel it too.

537
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,000
-It's nice.
-It's a strong piece.

538
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,400
We started putting other people's songs
into the "Suzan & Freek" wrapper.

539
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Suus behind the piano, Freek on guitar.

540
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,680
It was instantly good together.

541
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,920
What we're doing sounds cool.

542
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Not concerned about
what the outside world thinks

543
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,440
or how big it could be.

544
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,480
That's not too important in the beginning.

545
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,840
But in time. Just so, right?

546
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,640
This feels totally left,
and that feels totally right.

547
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,920
-That's what we were looking for.
-Exactly.

548
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,720
Let's give ourselves 15 minutes
to get everything set down.

549
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,360
The first thing we ever did
was a song that was a hit at the time.

550
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,800
That was six years ago.

551
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,680
That was The Chainsmokers
with "Don't Let Me Down."

552
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:14,800
MUSIC VIDEO, 2016

553
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,240
And we gave it a totally different feel

554
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,240
that is typically Suzan & Freek.

555
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,480
Then we said, "This sounds super cool."

556
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,800
We brought it out.

557
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,960
Which means it was on Spotify, you know.

558
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,040
<i>Don't let me down</i>

559
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,360
I remember them standing here.

560
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,480
"Shall we post it or not?"

561
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,760
I said,
"Guys, I'm going to the supermarket."

562
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,760
I came back from shopping,

563
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,520
"You won't believe it.
The artist has responded!"

564
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,360
"I told you that you should do it."

565
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,400
If I recall,
they then did a club tour right away

566
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,560
with covers.

567
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,280
And it sold out.

568
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,520
-Holy moly.
-Really an intimate little hall.

569
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,080
The smallest of our…

570
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:20,680
Arie?

571
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:22,960
Hi.

572
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,920
-Jerry Mulder. Very nice.
-Last time, it was the three of us here.

573
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,040
-The two of us.
-Five-and-a-half years ago.

574
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,120
-Up there on the balcony.
-150 people.

575
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,360
-The three of us.
-We were talking about that.

576
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,320
Five-and-a-half years ago, our first one.

577
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,240
-Crazy, right? As if it were yesterday.
-Yeah.

578
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,160
Cool, right.

579
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,000
Nice too, that it's so small.

580
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,240
On October 21st, 2017,
we had our very first show here.

581
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,120
The very first club show
of the group Suzan & Freek.

582
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,320
In the upper hall.

583
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,400
And we had <i>one</i> crew member,

584
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,360
and he's over there in the corner,
Jerry Mulder, ladies and gentlemen.

585
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,880
He was backliner, lighting technician,
front of house, and monitor man.

586
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:01,960
And security.

587
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Financial director.

588
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,760
He doesn't have to do anything now.
He's earned it all.

589
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,160
The first time I heard of them,

590
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,000
I was working
at the 4Days Marches in Nijmegen.

591
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,960
I was a freelancer
and I worked for the company

592
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,480
that arranged the light and sound
for that stage.

593
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,760
I had no idea who Suzan & Freek were.

594
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:23,960
SOUND ENGINEER

595
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,600
I had to google them.

596
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,880
I had to look online to see who they were.

597
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,280
So I knew who I had to look for,
an image, so to say.

598
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,320
But they could
just have been two people in town,

599
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,320
walking through the town.

600
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:39,520
Yeah, great.

601
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,720
-I might go very…
-He stood here.

602
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Last chorus.

603
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,000
It was a relatively small stage.

604
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,040
There was no room for a band.
It was full with two people.

605
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,960
Nice, guys.

606
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,200
I thought, where's everyone coming from?

607
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,920
It was suddenly so full.

608
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,560
We'll see who can sing loudest.
Are we ready?

609
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:58,840
NIJMEGEN 4DAYS MARCHES
JULY 2017

610
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,960
We'll start with my side. Here it comes.

611
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,640
One, two, three.

612
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,640
We can do it better.
Let's go! One, two, three.

613
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,520
We can be louder!

614
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,600
One, two three.

615
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,840
Then I realized that they were
more famous than I thought they were.

616
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,800
We were in Nijmegen tonight,
and it went like this…

617
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,480
Then we stayed in touch.

618
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,480
That's why I'm sitting here now.

619
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,720
When I go back and forth, it gets so…

620
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,280
-So boring.
-Here in the lows.

621
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,160
I want it to be even cooler.
I find it too easy.

622
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,720
Can I say that?

623
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,960
It began to snowball
and kept getting bigger.

624
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,800
At that time, I also had Bierpop.

625
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,840
I asked if they wanted
to play as the opening act.

626
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,520
"Oh, yes. Very much. What an honor."
And all saying "Wow!"

627
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,440
ARTIST

628
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,800
It was really nice

629
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,840
because they sat there together

630
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,280
with her on the piano
and Freek all dopey.

631
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,560
Sorry, Freek.

632
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,720
On the guitar, a bit like this.

633
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,680
And so nervous, boy.

634
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,640
But the hall sang along with everything,

635
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:43,240
and then I realized,

636
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,600
this will last another month,
then it's going to explode.

637
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,080
They did more shows.

638
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,560
They were the opening act
for international shows.

639
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,840
Always doing covers.

640
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Then we said, "Shall we write a song?"

641
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,080
"Yeah, that's good."

642
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,680
And I asked,
"Have you ever written a song?"

643
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,440
"We've never written a song.
We've tried, but it was nothing."

644
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,160
-"Shall we write a song then?"
-"Okay."

645
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,760
Freek worked with us behind the scenes,

646
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,680
and we did talk about those videos.

647
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,760
How they did it, why they did it.

648
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,760
And I increasingly came to understand

649
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,520
that we could learn from him as a label.

650
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,680
How he has a very strong sense
of what works for people.

651
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,360
What works for the public.

652
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,800
We always said,
"If you have your own song,

653
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,280
we'll talk about it."

654
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,800
Until Freek came to my office one day,

655
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,640
"We've written our own song."

656
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,760
And I remember. It doesn't happen often,
and I'll say it here…

657
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,800
I heard that song once and I said,
"Freek, that's a genuine hit."

658
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,520
I remember he replied, "You think so?"

659
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,560
<i>I can't bear it when the evening comes</i>

660
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,040
<i>Oh, because in the evening</i>
<i>I miss you often</i>

661
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,560
<i>You know I don't listen</i>
<i>When you talk like that</i>

662
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,120
<i>And touch me like that</i>
<i>And then leave</i>

663
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,840
<i>Tell me it will be fine</i>

664
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,080
<i>Give me pieces of future</i>

665
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,960
<i>Or should I just let you go</i>

666
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,960
<i>I can't bear it when the evening comes</i>

667
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,760
<i>I have truly missed you often</i>

668
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,680
You'd be in the supermarket
and suddenly hear <i>"Als het avond is."</i>

669
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,680
Then you would think, guys!

670
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,040
All week, "This is her."

671
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,480
I still get that today.

672
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,200
Recently at the hairdresser,
it came on. Every time.

673
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,000
She's only human,
but so special, and you're so proud.

674
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,440
Thank you all for coming this evening.

675
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,040
Hopefully you get home quickly.

676
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,920
-Safe journey. Thank you.
-Thank you.

677
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,040
I like it best with the bun on her head.

678
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,440
This is also nice, but…

679
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,360
This is just for one night, you know.
In the glam.

680
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,520
In the glam.

681
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,320
It's pretty, that dress.

682
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,920
-You think it's pretty?
-Yeah.

683
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,120
Okay.

684
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Armpits well-shaved?

685
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160
Am I overdressed?
I see understated dresses.

686
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:30,800
-No, look at her. I was just about to say.
-Oh no.

687
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,880
-Will it be okay?
-Yeah.

688
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,480
-No, but I still feel like…
-That's always true with things like this.

689
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,240
-Suzan, act like an artist.
-Yeah.

690
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:41,920
EDISON POP AWARDS 2022

691
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,920
I realize that
I didn't start this to become famous.

692
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,680
That's the only thing
I find difficult at times.

693
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,720
And that's maybe the reason

694
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:54,480
why we never do anything
non-music related on TV.

695
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,920
-Very good.
-Great.

696
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,240
I like music. I don't find being famous…

697
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,600
I would rather not be.

698
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,040
Great.

699
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,240
I don't know
if people have a complete image of me,

700
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,400
because I'm not
a person who reveals my inner thoughts.

701
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,200
I also always tend
to make a joke out of everything,

702
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,320
whether good or bad.

703
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,400
I had a kind of <i>Star Wars</i> robot outfit,

704
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,200
and when I turned up,
Suus said, "We're not doing that." No, no…

705
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,680
On the other hand, that is who I am.

706
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,840
I'm still frequently discovering who I am<i>,</i>

707
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,560
and it's an ongoing quest.

708
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,440
-How are you?
-Yeah, I'm good.

709
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,640
I've sometimes heard people
talking about Suzan & Freek

710
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:42,480
and I didn't think
they were talking about me.

711
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,120
Suzan & Freek has become
a separate thing in itself.

712
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,880
I think the challenge is

713
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,800
for us to clearly determine
what we will and won't give away.

714
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,360
If you can dream it, you can do it.

715
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,840
Likeable and Dutch to the core.

716
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,960
The Edison in the "Album" category
goes to Suzan & Freek.

717
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:10,640
Wow.

718
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,840
Thank you. An Edison.

719
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,720
Hey, thank you. Also nice.

720
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,400
-Great.
-Great.

721
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,000
-Together is good.
-Yeah.

722
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,320
Freek was already
working in the music industry

723
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,720
behind the scenes.
Before we did this, before we were famous.

724
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:30,560
And I used to go along
to the music festivals.

725
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,120
And nobody spoke to me,
which I thought was great.

726
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.

727
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:42,040
And now, suddenly,
everyone comes over to me.

728
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,120
And sometimes I think,
do these people really like me?

729
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,440
Or do they want to get something from me?

730
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:49,840
It feels that way at times.

731
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,680
You get the feeling
that everyone wants something from you.

732
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,720
We have very good people around us.
I'm looked after.

733
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,200
THE ACHTERHOEK
FREEK'S MOTHER'S HOUSE, APRIL 2022

734
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,040
Hi, hi.

735
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,880
Do you always leave keys in the door?

736
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,000
-All good?
-Freekie.

737
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,800
-Yes.
-Yeah. All right.

738
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,800
You've got a book by Robbie Williams?

739
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,800
Yes, you can have it. I got it this week.

740
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,600
-Is it good?
-I had…

741
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,720
I got to pick out all these books,
and then I thought

742
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,520
if Freek comes, I could surprise you with…

743
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:29,960
-Nice.
-Take it with you.

744
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,280
-Freek, do you want tea or coffee?
-I'll have water.

745
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,000
The best song?

746
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,280
I still find<i> "Hoofd in de wolken"</i>
a really nice song.

747
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:40,800
And…

748
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,040
<i>"Als het avond is."</i>
I think that's a nice song, but…

749
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,400
it's a painful song for me.

750
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,960
-I don't know myself.
-You've got plenty of records.

751
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,280
Maybe also<i> "Als het avond is."</i>
Just because it was the first

752
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,000
and, looking back, it also related to you.

753
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,560
But Freek, that song was…

754
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,080
-You'd already finished it in July.
-Yeah.

755
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:09,480
And when the bolt from the blue
came in August…

756
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,760
-You separated, yeah.
-We separated.

757
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,240
I mean, from one moment to the next…

758
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,160
So actually…

759
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,640
The story was tacked on afterward.

760
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,240
Yes, while you--

761
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,480
-But when you hear the lyrics.
-Yeah.

762
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,560
-That was exactly it.
-Yeah.

763
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,240
-Strange.
-Very much.

764
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,760
When we'd just broken through,

765
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,200
you separated from each other,
and that was a moment

766
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,600
where I…

767
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,520
Everyone had enough on their plate.

768
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,880
In that situation,
if things were not going so well for me,

769
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,080
I didn't want to pass that on to you.

770
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,720
The night that you first…

771
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,240
I'm telling it.

772
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,800
The night that you played it
for the first time…

773
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,960
I think it was a Wednesday evening.

774
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,080
At eight o'clock, we, Vincent and I,

775
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,640
put our signatures on the divorce papers.

776
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:04,360
The same evening.
I'll never forget that moment.

777
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,200
So that song has so much meaning for me.

778
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,600
But people around us all say,

779
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,840
"How can a song be made like that?
It's your story."

780
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,080
-Yeah, exactly.
-But it still touches me.

781
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,360
In just one moment,

782
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,840
your entire family is turned upside down.

783
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,040
You always think
that other parents get divorced.

784
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,440
You hear about
so-and-so with divorced parents.

785
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,800
And my parents were both almost 60.

786
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,200
You think it won't ever happen.

787
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,520
But it did happen.

788
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,840
I hadn't been living at home
for seven or eight years.

789
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,720
I would go home on the weekend,

790
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:58,400
but I didn't necessarily realize
that it wasn't going so well for them.

791
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,760
So it really came as a blow.

792
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,680
And, in the beginning,

793
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,720
I didn't have much contact with my father.

794
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,960
He was with his new love.

795
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,960
I find it difficult because
I don't really like to talk about it.

796
00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:22,320
Suus in particular really helped me a lot.

797
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,800
It costs me a lot of energy
to be angry with people.

798
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,160
I think I handle it best by saying,

799
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:32,800
"Let's try and look at the good things."

800
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,480
And let's see what we can take from that.

801
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,640
Suus really helped me with that.

802
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,680
Today is a bit of a special day for us.

803
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,440
-We already mentioned, it's my birthday.
-It's your birthday too, Freek.

804
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,240
But also because
it's three years to the day

805
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,160
since<i> "Als het avond is"</i>
reached number one.

806
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,640
And I think it's a funny story
because we both had regular jobs

807
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,800
and we didn't really have
that much to do with music.

808
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,440
We just did it as a hobby.

809
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,880
And we thought, let's write our own song.

810
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,080
And we'll see.

811
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,040
And we brought it out,
and it kept growing until suddenly

812
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,160
it was at number one.
On that Sunday evening, we decided,

813
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:21,360
"We're going to resign and go for it."

814
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,440
Well, look at us now.

815
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,760
I'm so proud when I see all this.

816
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,360
Thank you for coming.

817
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,120
<i>Sometimes I feel bad</i>

818
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,520
<i>That you don't want</i>
<i>To talk so much any more</i>

819
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,880
<i>Then I miss the time</i>
<i>When I could be angry with you</i>

820
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,960
<i>Now it's silent</i>

821
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,040
<i>As night falls</i>

822
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,800
<i>I whisper softly</i>

823
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,880
<i>Do you hear me maybe?</i>

824
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,440
<i>I just don't know how</i>

825
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,000
<i>With everything I do</i>

826
00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:11,440
<i>I can't bear it when the evening comes</i>

827
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,920
<i>Oh, because in the evening</i>
<i>I miss you often</i>

828
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,680
<i>Tell me it will be fine</i>

829
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,920
<i>Give me pieces of future</i>

830
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,280
<i>Or should I just let you go?</i>

831
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,920
<i>I can't bear it when the evening comes</i>

832
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,560
<i>I have truly missed you often</i>

833
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,360
Hey, Suzan & Freek.

834
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,920
…that no one's following us, no security.

835
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,800
-He's in shot.
-Yes, exactly.

836
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,520
-Wait, no. That's right.
-Yeah.

837
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,360
It's usually like that.
I go that way. I stand here.

838
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,880
-The other way round to usual.
-Yeah.

839
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:00,960
Am I walking all alone?

840
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,040
-Or is there a security guard?
-There's someone in the background.

841
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,440
-No.
-Maybe on this step or that one?

842
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,240
-One of the steps.
-Use that step?

843
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,320
When I first heard
the plans for the Ziggo Dome,

844
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,400
I have to admit that…

845
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,120
If you think about it rationally

846
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,520
from an industry perspective,
you think, "Steady now, guys."

847
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:23,440
But Suzan & Freek,
the rules don't apply to them.

848
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,160
Wow.

849
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,040
Bizarre to think this will be
totally full of people tonight.

850
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,640
Freek is truly
the brains behind Suzan & Freek,

851
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:35,880
who is busy planning well in advance.

852
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,480
I think Freek already dreamed
of the Ziggo Dome at an early stage

853
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,440
while Suzan was still focused
on the neighborhood bar.

854
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,960
-Hi, honey. How are things?
-Hi.

855
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,920
-Pretty heavy, huh?
-This one was very heavy, I thought.

856
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,160
It bothered me
that so much still needs doing.

857
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:55,320
-Yeah, but it's a lot for everyone.
-I think that too.

858
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,120
-I don't blame anyone.
-No.

859
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,880
-It was just chaos.
-Exactly.

860
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,640
But that's… how can it be? So crazy.

861
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,000
Sick.

862
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,000
Suzan & Freek. Ziggo Dome 2022.

863
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:15,280
Just look.

864
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,760
I have no idea where it is.

865
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,840
I find it quite exciting, you know.

866
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,240
Just think,
the pre-program starts at 7:30,

867
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,160
but they're not going to make it.

868
00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:29,640
-I find that difficult. I'll forget it.
-Anyone have some white tape?

869
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,360
-Can I have a bit of tape?
-Hey. Hello!

870
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,160
Stress. So much stress.
Freek too, you could tell from afar.

871
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,480
Because there's so much to run through
and things keep going wrong.

872
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,240
That makes Freek and me nervous.

873
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,080
We're both people who want
everything perfectly under control.

874
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,440
You hear five men
on top of each other in your earphones.

875
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:52,920
-Just all mixed up.
-Yeah.

876
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,640
And you go somewhere and the stands
that should be there are missing.

877
00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:59,400
-I hope that this evening…
-Yes, you need them here.

878
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,000
Everyone is under pressure,
but then we get nervous.

879
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,880
Actually, it's a bit too much pressure.

880
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,160
Some people might get used to it.

881
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:09,840
I think the pressure is inhuman today.

882
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,480
I just have to laugh at how stressed I am.

883
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,560
Wait for me.

884
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,720
-Cool, man.
-Yeah.

885
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,120
I really find this to be
something I never thought of.

886
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,320
And this is the pinnacle
of what you can do in the Netherlands.

887
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,640
-Great. It's happening.
-Yeah.

888
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,960
<i>Do you feel the light?</i>

889
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,200
Totally rock style.

890
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:08,160
Sick.

891
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:11,680
So great, this.

892
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,040
-Enjoy it, huh?
-This is totally rock style.

893
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,360
<i>I look around me</i>

894
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,440
<i>And see the same street</i>

895
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,760
<i>But it suddenly feels as if</i>

896
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,080
<i>There is a new light here</i>

897
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,080
<i>Because we dream in color</i>

898
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,880
I have to say that Freek and I,

899
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,800
over the past two years,

900
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,200
have dreamed
of a moment like this so often.

901
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,880
"How long will it take?
When can we finally do it?"

902
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,880
When you think
that everyone there came for you.

903
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,040
All singing at the top of their lungs.
That tank of energy.

904
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,480
I think that's great. It touches me.

905
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,880
Then you see
all those people standing there.

906
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,880
The madness.
That's when I did shed a tear.

907
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,280
It's always fun to play.

908
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,200
The energy that's released,
it draws you in.

909
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,560
The way their performances have evolved

910
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,520
was very clear at the Ziggo Dome.

911
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,200
You suddenly realize
it's become a really big show.

912
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,360
Ziggo Dome!

913
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,120
There are so many people with talent,
and not everyone gets to live it.

914
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,000
Astonishment.

915
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,040
Pride.

916
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,200
You don't always
have to have much experience

917
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,040
but just trust in yourself and go for it.

918
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:28,320
Great!

919
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,480
-It went well, right?
-Yeah.

920
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,440
It was great, right?

921
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,360
-Are you happy?
-It was crazy.

922
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,920
-Are you happy?
-Yes, really happy. And you?

923
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,560
Hundred percent. Yeah.

924
00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:43,480
Hey, Suus. There she is.

925
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:46,200
Hi, Mom.

926
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,280
Hey.

927
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:50,280
How cool, right?

928
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,520
-Hey, Mom.
-Hi.

929
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,320
-What did you think?
-Oh man.

930
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,880
-I just sat and cried.
-Yeah?

931
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,360
How wonderful.

932
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:01,280
Hey.

933
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,240
Totally crazy, man.

934
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:06,160
-Bye.
-Bye.

935
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:09,600
What a strange feeling.

936
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,480
-Look at this photo.
-Yeah, I forwarded it.

937
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,000
-Vera with your mom.
-Nice. During<i> "Lichtje branden."</i>

938
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:18,480
How sweet.

939
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,120
Just a couple more chips.

940
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,960
I could really crave the feeling
of what just happened.

941
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,960
-The feeling of happiness is so strong.
-Yeah.

942
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,000
It's a strange feeling.

943
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,120
I'm kind of tired, but not tired at all.

944
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,880
-I thought it was great, wasn't it?
-Yeah, right?

945
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,320
Like you've come
to the top of the mountain.

946
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:56,480
"Here we are. The top."

947
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,840
And then, for the rest of the vacation,

948
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,440
you don't have to worry
about climbing the mountain.

949
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,080
-Is my alarm already off?
-Yeah, it's off.

950
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:12,920
What do you want?

951
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,840
-What?
-What do you want? Soda?

952
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:18,400
No, I'll have water or something.

953
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:25,720
-Great, right?
-Oh yes.

954
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,120
-I feel really tired now.
-Yeah?

955
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,680
Whoa, what the fuck? This is sick.

956
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,560
Check it out. It looks so cool.

957
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,280
You don't see that sitting there,
with the mirror balls.

958
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:40,360
Fuck.

959
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:43,680
-Cool.
-Cool, yeah?

960
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,040
The outfits are good too.
I'm happy with our outfits.

961
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,040
-It all went well.
-Yeah.

962
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:50,400
Arie.

963
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:52,680
Yeah. Great man.

964
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,040
My legs are tired, are yours?

965
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:03,160
I still have some

966
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,600
of the adrenaline, you know?

967
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,040
-Yeah.
-I need to come down.

968
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,440
VACATION, SEPTEMBER 2022

969
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:31,560
Freek?

970
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,840
-Can you get some water?
-Of course.

971
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,760
-And some…
-Sure.

972
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,160
-Maybe something tasty, some chocolate.
-Of course.

973
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:41,520
Great.

974
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,840
Sometimes, when I look at old pictures,

975
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,760
when I see us
playing to three people somewhere,

976
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,040
I think, that's how it was back then.

977
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:55,960
Yeah.

978
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,840
When I look at photos
of us in a caravan, playing on the street.

979
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:02,800
Now, I think--

980
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,360
-What an effort.
-What a lot of effort we put in.

981
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,720
-We really persevered.
-We kept going.

982
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:12,280
We are Suzan & Freek.
Thank you for a lovely evening.

983
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,200
And I was just as happy
doing it for far fewer people.

984
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,520
-I liked it too.
-Now it's even more fun.

985
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,320
That wasn't our motivation for doing it.

986
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,680
-Otherwise, we might never have begun.
-No.

987
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,280
You get more and more used to it.

988
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:28,320
I have…

989
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,240
Slowly, it's starting to be the case

990
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,640
that we see ourselves on that list.

991
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:36,280
To my mind, I don't think we have changed.

992
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,840
Just the world around us has changed.

993
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,600
More people come to see us,
and people respond differently to us.

994
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,080
But I'm really happy
that things between us feel the same

995
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,360
and also between us
and our family and friends.

996
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,480
It still really feels like before,
and I think that is--

997
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,360
-Good that it never went away.
-No.

998
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,640
You often say, if I wasn't here,
you would have led a different life.

999
00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:03,200
We've been lucky
that we've had each other.

1000
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:04,560
It keeps us grounded.

1001
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,160
But I can imagine,
with everything going on around you…

1002
00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:12,280
It's so intense sometimes,
and it's nice to have a filter in between.

1003
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,040
For some people,
that filter is drinking or something else.

1004
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,440
And I can very well imagine
that that's enjoyable.

1005
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,800
But, luckily, we have each other
to share it a bit.

1006
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,040
Yeah.

1007
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,600
What I personally really like,
is when I think

1008
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,280
that it's actually,

1009
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,520
I don't want to say "much more fun,"

1010
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,080
but it's still loads of fun together,
and that's the most important thing.

1011
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,600
I think it's important too.

1012
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:42,920
I think it would be really nice
to combine it with a family at some point.

1013
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,080
That would really be…

1014
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,520
I would like that very much.

1015
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,240
<i>Even though the sun sets ten times</i>

1016
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,080
<i>Even though the tide is turning again</i>

1017
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,640
<i>Let me lose myself for a while</i>

1018
00:57:01,720 --> 00:57:03,920
<i>In a dream</i>

1019
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,800
<i>And then you stand before me again</i>

1020
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:18,400
<i>Even though I may be dreaming</i>

1021
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:19,800
<i>But there is nothing…</i>

1022
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,360
-Warm weather now?
-Yeah.

1023
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:22,440
Look.

1024
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:25,360
Gosh, what an animal!

1025
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,000
More exercise than we've had
for the past two weeks.

1026
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:29,520
Speak for yourself, fatty.

1027
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,040
Bitch.

1028
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,480
<i>Just use this song as an anchor</i>

1029
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:37,160
Suus, you start.

1030
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,000
Can I go on that side?
Then I can see better.

1031
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:41,360
This is mental.

1032
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,560
I can see much better from here.
Yes, that's better.

1033
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:46,840
Loser does the dishes.

1034
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:49,400
-Oh.
-Not even close.

1035
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,440
I'd like to provide
a commentary on your throws.

1036
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:55,720
Well, pretty close.

1037
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,920
I think I feel the pride
more than usual when I'm on vacation.

1038
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,040
I suddenly think,
so, that was really cool, right?

1039
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:06,960
Yeah.

1040
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,680
Or when we tell someone or show a video
of something we're involved in…

1041
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,040
Then I suddenly think it's really cool.

1042
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,840
Stupid. Then I think,
it's nice to enjoy it for once.

1043
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,280
Always so modest. We should also be proud.

1044
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,240
Wow. This is really cool, right?

1045
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:32,160
Yeah?

1046
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,600
It's really cool.

1047
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:40,280
You were sorry that I couldn't enjoy it
as much in the beginning.

1048
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:41,880
Because I really did enjoy it

1049
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,720
and now and then
you didn't really enjoy it so much.

1050
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,320
On the way home, you would sit in the car

1051
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,760
crying at the thought
of doing it again tomorrow.

1052
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,040
Because I didn't know
if my voice would hold up.

1053
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,000
I found it hard.

1054
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,200
-Oh my God.
-Yeah, I know. Great.

1055
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.

1056
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,280
And I thought, oh…

1057
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,760
Is this speed and intensity…

1058
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,040
Is this what Suzan wants?

1059
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:13,600
Sometimes I'm a quitter.
I think, I'm not going to do that.

1060
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,240
You're afraid of the unknown.

1061
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,040
Then you say,
"I'd rather keep doing what I…"

1062
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,240
With every concert hall,
you said, "We're doing this one?"

1063
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,840
"No, I'm happy to keep doing the old one."

1064
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:25,480
And that was after Ziggo--

1065
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,160
-I find it more stressful.
-Yeah.

1066
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:31,400
That's also an internal safety mechanism,
which is good.

1067
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:32,840
Which I sometimes have less.

1068
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,080
"The fun is in the fear,"
but it's still difficult sometimes.

1069
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,640
But you're good at that,
and with you, I'm good at it too.

1070
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,880
I really want
to fly a kite in this weather.

1071
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,680
Beautiful, isn't it?
I love it by the beach. Nice breeze.

1072
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:51,680
Yeah, man.

1073
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,000
The Netherlands is really small.
And Belgium. That you…

1074
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,800
Which is good,
because if it gets too much sometimes,

1075
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,040
you can simply come here,

1076
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,160
but actually I find it
much too nice to want to leave.

1077
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,320
LIBERATION DAY FESTIVAL
4 SHOWS ON 1 DAY, MAY 2022

1078
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,680
It seemed like all the special things
you can experience as an artist

1079
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,840
were all scheduled in one month.

1080
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,160
Good evening, Leeuwarden.

1081
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,280
You look good from up here.

1082
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,200
Goddamn.

1083
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:30,160
We're at the halfway point today.

1084
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,320
We had Ziggo,

1085
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,360
and then it all started.

1086
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,040
-Sleep at home, as much as possible.
-Yeah.

1087
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:39,840
It is a bit too busy.

1088
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:42,560
-Ziggo Dome.
-The Ziggo.

1089
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,640
Then came the first show,
Vrienden van Amstel,

1090
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,720
then 538 Koningsdag.

1091
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,280
Thank you.

1092
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,400
Six or seven shows, Vrienden van Amstel.

1093
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,200
ROTTERDAM, MAY 2022

1094
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,480
Four Liberation Day shows.

1095
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,960
LIBERATION DAY FESTIVAL
LEEUWARDEN, MAY 2022

1096
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:04,440
Four shows, Vrienden van Amstel.

1097
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,200
And so we had 18 in two weeks.

1098
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,360
Plus all the rehearsals related to it all.

1099
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,800
You sometimes forget that.

1100
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,080
Can you make sure
we hear Dirk's mic in our ears?

1101
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,520
But after<i> "Mag ik," </i>we go straight here.

1102
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,600
-Receive the applause.
-Yes, exactly.

1103
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,640
-Then Dirk sets the groove, and we join.
-That's good. Okay.

1104
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,640
You have rehearsals for anything new,

1105
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,800
and we rehearsed a lot
before the Ziggo Dome.

1106
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,000
And you sing a lot in private too.

1107
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,440
So, pretty grueling.

1108
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,960
<i>It's quiet here on the other side</i>

1109
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,160
<i>But I come from here</i>

1110
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,160
That was Snelle.

1111
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,040
I don't know where they get the energy.

1112
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,520
They're the two hardest working people
that I know.

1113
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,920
My colleagues and I sometimes
want to have a day when we think

1114
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,160
we'll just skip that set of photos,

1115
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,360
or we'll walk around
behind the red carpet, that sort of thing.

1116
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,960
But they always have energy

1117
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,480
and are always "on" and can do everything.

1118
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,600
I see them working, then afterwards,
just the two of them in a corner

1119
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:13,960
being themselves, and I think…

1120
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:18,680
I admire how they can always turn it on,

1121
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,640
to always be Suzan & Freek.

1122
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,920
I'm happy that was the last show
and that we persevered with it all.

1123
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:31,160
-And that I had a good time.
-And then you're right there again.

1124
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,960
I'd rather skip an after-party
and do an extra show

1125
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:35,960
because I find after-parties so…

1126
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,480
I'll do them in a few years

1127
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,800
when I'm no longer enjoying it,
then I'll celebrate all my parties.

1128
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,480
Now, I think,
we've got all the cool festivals.

1129
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,560
-Surely you can't miss that?
-Yeah.

1130
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:47,480
No.

1131
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,560
I think, how things are now,

1132
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,320
just being very respectable

1133
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,600
with no drugs, no rock 'n' roll, you know?

1134
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,960
Thank God they don't have that.

1135
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,200
Sometimes a bit,
which is too bad, but fine.

1136
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,200
But it's just really nice, you know?

1137
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:07,240
They are so steady, but not boring.

1138
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:08,800
And I think,

1139
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,600
if you can keep that up
over the long term,

1140
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,960
you can take on the whole world.

1141
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,200
If I go to bed late, I can't manage.

1142
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,400
We have to push on a bit.

1143
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,640
I think it's important to do it well.

1144
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:26,040
That you don't think,

1145
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,360
"If I'd just done my best
and gone to fewer after-parties

1146
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,840
because it didn't sound good."
I'd find that annoying.

1147
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,080
I wouldn't want that.

1148
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,560
It has to be good. And fun, and good.

1149
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,800
I'm always a bit scared
and think, "As long as it goes well."

1150
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,280
We can still walk.

1151
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,000
LIBERATION DAY FESTIVAL
ASSEN, MAY 2022

1152
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,760
-Hello.
-Hi. Time for a quick photo?

1153
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,720
We have to perform, sorry.

1154
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,440
You can't have photos
with everyone at a show anymore.

1155
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,880
I used to do it all the time
earlier this year.

1156
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,040
We'd spend an hour and a half
after the show taking photos with people,

1157
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:04,400
and then I realized

1158
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,520
it was starting to take more energy
than the show itself.

1159
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,960
Now that one,
now we have to finish the row.

1160
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:18,680
Half an hour, grimacing…

1161
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,320
But if you do that every night,
you realize it can't continue.

1162
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,000
"Suzan & Freek, don't do it!"

1163
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,600
Then I think, how bad.
We really shouldn't do that.

1164
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,680
I find it pathetic.
So that's tricky at times, yes.

1165
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,200
-Nice.
-Great, guys.

1166
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,760
-We'll get you straight on the bus.
-What was that?

1167
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,040
-We'll put you straight on the bus.
-Yeah, great.

1168
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:57,760
Holy shit.

1169
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,600
-The show was cool, right?
-It was.

1170
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,880
I'm gonna sit on the floor.
Then they won't see me.

1171
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,360
-My abs.
-Exactly.

1172
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:07,440
This is nice.

1173
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:09,240
Oh my God.

1174
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:14,760
Funny, I thought they wouldn't see me now.

1175
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,560
I look up and everyone is
watching me sitting on the floor.

1176
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:18,520
All waving.

1177
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,280
Can you pull that curtain shut?

1178
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:24,440
I'll sit for a moment.

1179
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,520
Otherwise, I always feel so…

1180
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:30,160
Thank you.

1181
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,000
I think we're very approachable,
which is what we want to be, and we are.

1182
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,080
But that sometimes

1183
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,160
has the disadvantage
that everyone comes up to you.

1184
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,240
Which is sometimes really nice,
but sometimes not so much.

1185
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,840
When I go to a restaurant
with Freek and my parents

1186
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,080
and we sit next to a table
with a young girl.

1187
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,320
And she begins to cry
out of panic at seeing us.

1188
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,920
And I find it intense to have that effect,

1189
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,280
that everything around us has changed.

1190
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:00,640
Everyone is waiting here.

1191
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:02,960
-Can you see?
-Hello.

1192
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,160
Oh, how bad. I feel so bad.
-No, that's not bad.

1193
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,000
They're waiting.
They want a photo and we're in the bus.

1194
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,720
I wish there were some blinds.

1195
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:17,080
-Shouldn't we go for a photo?
-You'll be there for over an hour.

1196
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,440
-There are so many people.
-Okay, that's fine.

1197
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,280
With some things,
I feel it's getting more difficult.

1198
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:26,000
When I walk by an elementary school
and the entire yard shouts my name.

1199
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:30,240
I think, shit, maybe I shouldn't
walk past a schoolyard anymore.

1200
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,640
Then never walk past a schoolyard again?
That's crazy.

1201
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,600
Can you turn the camera off? Thanks.

1202
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,680
On stage, it's okay.
It's more the stuff around it.

1203
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,800
Yes. Everyone just runs around
taking photos all the time.

1204
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,080
You think,
just leave me alone for a second.

1205
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:54,240
Keep walking.

1206
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,800
-Nice that it's just the two of us.
-Yeah, great.

1207
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,560
I'm the happiest when it's the two of us
in the car heading home.

1208
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.

1209
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,760
Isn't it crazy,
what we're experiencing, you know?

1210
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,000
That's what makes me the happiest.

1211
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,760
-Right?
-Yes, honey. I like it too.

1212
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:33,960
It's on here,
the busiest period of the year.

1213
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,760
-We made it. Until the end.
-Yeah, right?

1214
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,560
It was a lot, but it was great.

1215
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,560
Nineteen shows in seventeen days,

1216
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,760
and each show for more than 15,000 people.

1217
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,000
I think that's pretty intense.

1218
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,720
And we were thinking,
can we do this? Will it work?

1219
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,920
Can the crew handle all these shows?
Will it work technically?

1220
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,760
-Will your voice hold out?
-Will it hold out?

1221
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,080
But it all went great,
so now the rest of the year…

1222
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,960
Surely now it will be fine.

1223
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,000
BUSSUM, MAY 2022

1224
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:10,640
Important day.

1225
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:15,640
Hey, hello.

1226
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,920
-Hey, hello.
-Journalist from the<i> Weekend.</i>

1227
01:08:26,440 --> 01:08:29,720
What a life you're living.
Compared to a couple of years ago.

1228
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,120
-You have to think, what happened?
-Yeah.

1229
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,480
-Do you experience it the same way?
-Yeah. The last month in particular was…

1230
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,920
-The guy just came right up to me.
-Yes, but you mustn't do that.

1231
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,160
That's the <i>Weekend</i>. We don't talk to them.

1232
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,200
Can you just check? Whether he…

1233
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,560
Say that they should let us see it.

1234
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,920
Or just get rid of it.
We didn't actually want to talk with him.

1235
01:08:51,440 --> 01:08:55,800
We once had an interview where
someone was taunting us with questions

1236
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,600
in the hopes we would snap.
I can't remember what it was,

1237
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,120
but it's always
about something very personal.

1238
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,880
While I'm there thinking,
we've written a new song.

1239
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,120
Maybe you should ask about that.

1240
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,480
-I should have walked away.
-I was looking for you.

1241
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,880
I was there thinking, "Should I, yes, no?"

1242
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:14,960
That was in the course of the questions.

1243
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:17,200
Suzan, hello.

1244
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,600
I think there is
always a certain line between…

1245
01:09:21,480 --> 01:09:24,920
who we are as artists
and what is truly private, for us alone.

1246
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,720
And I think that's something

1247
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:32,080
we have to think hard about
to keep things chill for us.

1248
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,920
This might be a heavy question
to ask right at the start,

1249
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,720
but do you guys have a type of wildcard?

1250
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:43,640
In case you want
to dance with someone else or…

1251
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:44,600
Separately.

1252
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:46,600
-What a strange question.
-A wildcard.

1253
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,200
We have an open relationship… no.

1254
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,040
-No, we don't have a wildcard.
-No.

1255
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,400
In my head, I'm kind of thinking

1256
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:59,920
that I want to tell <i>100% Nederland,</i>

1257
01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:03,720
"Cut out that bit about the wildcard."
Because I…

1258
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,120
What's private needs to remain private.

1259
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,560
That's the last piece of us
that we still own.

1260
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:11,760
Here, your pass.

1261
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:12,920
-Thank you.
-Great.

1262
01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:16,000
I think we're saying
that the story about the wildcard--

1263
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,080
That can be taken out.
Then he'll understand.

1264
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,040
-Is that okay?
-Yes, I want…

1265
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,640
We've become entertainers.
And we're also still just people.

1266
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,920
Sometimes you notice…
You wouldn't ask your friends that.

1267
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,920
It's not very respectful, actually.

1268
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,200
What do you think?
The question is awkward.

1269
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,520
-Maybe you shouldn't ask it then.
-Exactly.

1270
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,000
It goes far, I think.

1271
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,880
What they do with people, they…

1272
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,400
But that applies to everyone.
Everyone is under the microscope.

1273
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:45,560
If anything happens here in the village,

1274
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,320
then everyone talks about it for a week.

1275
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,920
And the following week,
they talk about something else.

1276
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,440
But in the world of fame,
it's really hard right now, I think.

1277
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,400
And sometimes it's nothing
but it gets so widely reported.

1278
01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:01,120
That doesn't make you happy.
But it's independent of them.

1279
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,040
It's the case for everyone.
I don't like it.

1280
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,920
I hear some people ask,

1281
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,400
"Isn't it hard
working with your partner all day

1282
01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:11,920
and seeing them in private?"

1283
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:14,560
Well, we had a farm, so…

1284
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:15,720
It isn't hard.

1285
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,160
If you're with someone
you like being around

1286
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,400
and who you work well with,

1287
01:11:22,480 --> 01:11:24,440
it's not annoying at all.

1288
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,600
We've never found it annoying,
and we don't see that in them either.

1289
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,680
It's crazy that people
are interested in the first place.

1290
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:37,680
LOOSDRECHT LAKES
AUGUST 2022

1291
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,360
I'll have an Aperol. Bang!

1292
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:42,680
But we have…

1293
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:44,760
I have four glasses.

1294
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:46,800
I wanted to bring truffle. Suus said no.

1295
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:48,360
There's beer. But no…

1296
01:11:48,440 --> 01:11:49,440
Here's another one.

1297
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:54,920
No, that can't be.

1298
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:56,320
There's cork in it.

1299
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:57,560
-Cork.
-Cork.

1300
01:11:58,240 --> 01:11:59,080
Well…

1301
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,560
At the beginning of this busy period,
it was hard

1302
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,600
because we saw each other less.

1303
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:10,640
And that was difficult.

1304
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,320
But I've noticed

1305
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,520
that a certain small club of people
formed around me

1306
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:17,600
that has become smaller over time

1307
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,200
and that I want to see more.

1308
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,560
I'm really very conventional. Yes.

1309
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:27,160
That's true. Yes.

1310
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:30,360
But it strikes me
that a lot of people are.

1311
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:31,520
Then I think,

1312
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:35,160
how nice that we found each other,
because we get along well.

1313
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:39,040
I'm not one for full-on parties,
I don't stay up late often,

1314
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:42,200
I don't drink, don't do drugs.
I'm really quite boring.

1315
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,040
But I do like
doing nice things with my friends

1316
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,400
and having a good time
with people I care about.

1317
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:50,760
But, on the other hand, conventional…

1318
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:55,320
I do really great shows.
So what exactly is cool?

1319
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,920
Getting blind drunk on the weekend

1320
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:02,240
or playing a concert for 40,000 people?
So, yeah…

1321
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,840
Yes, maybe I am a bit conventional,

1322
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,880
but I find myself to be pretty cool
with what we do.

1323
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:33,600
I've noticed that spending time together
doesn't consume any energy.

1324
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,680
We're good at being together,

1325
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,800
sometimes without having to say anything.

1326
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,440
It lets us both recharge.

1327
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:44,120
And it isn't the case
that we view it as an activity,

1328
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,040
"Let's do something together now."

1329
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,400
We just enjoy being together
and that, yeah…

1330
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,680
I don't really think about it.
I just find…

1331
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:56,920
If I want to go cycling,
I'll say, "Want to come for a ride?"

1332
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,240
Then we'll go cycling together.
I prefer that to being alone.

1333
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,680
We could fill up our entire week.
Requests for TV things

1334
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,640
and interview for this,
we could appear in Belgium for this…

1335
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,480
But I said to Freek,
"I don't want to be so busy."

1336
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,360
I just don't want that.
I also want to have a nice life.

1337
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,480
<i>Maybe kissed</i>

1338
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,720
<i>Fathers and mothers</i>

1339
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,400
<i>A little laughter too at everyone</i>

1340
01:14:24,480 --> 01:14:27,360
<i>Now it feels exactly as it used to</i>

1341
01:14:27,440 --> 01:14:31,440
<i>You and I</i>
<i>The world at my feet</i>

1342
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,960
<i>When I looked at you</i>

1343
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,040
<i>I suddenly became</i>

1344
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,440
<i>Someone from the past again</i>

1345
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:42,440
<i>-See you.</i>
<i>-Bye.</i>

1346
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:43,840
-See you later.
-Have fun.

1347
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:44,960
-Bye.
-Later.

1348
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,440
-An hour…
-Yes, just that.

1349
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,240
-Accordion.
-Accordion.

1350
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,960
-Funny going to a show like this.
-Yeah, right?

1351
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:55,200
When do we do this now?

1352
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,480
I remember well that we…

1353
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,520
Just before corona, we were in the meadow.

1354
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,360
Kraantje Pappie was on the main stage.

1355
01:15:04,440 --> 01:15:06,320
-We said, "Great show."
-Yeah.

1356
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,680
Big stage,
with the big "Daddy" at the back.

1357
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,440
-I thought, "That guy's made it."
-Yeah.

1358
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:13,800
Well, let's go then.

1359
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:19,480
I think I'm still very keen
to make people happy.

1360
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,320
And I want people to like me

1361
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,080
and like what I do.

1362
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:26,000
So, maybe I,

1363
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:27,640
above all<i>,</i>

1364
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,320
should try a little harder to accept

1365
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,760
that there is a large group that like it.

1366
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,960
I should be happy with that.
We're successful in what we do.

1367
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:38,520
People come to our shows.

1368
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,080
And I try very much
to look at what we do have

1369
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:42,920
and the people who like it, instead of…

1370
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:45,960
the people who maybe don't like it

1371
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,920
and feel the need to say that or… Yeah.

1372
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,440
-Have fun.
-I still find it quite exciting.

1373
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:53,760
-Exciting, right?
-Suus.

1374
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,000
-I find it horribly scary.
-Exciting, huh?

1375
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,840
-Nice to have you here.
-Super cool.

1376
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,080
-Horribly scary.
-It will be all right.

1377
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,960
You can tell by looking at you,
you really are all…

1378
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:04,160
Just take a deep breath.

1379
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,320
-The first song, then you'll be okay.
-Yeah, that's right.

1380
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:08,480
Then I'll be back.

1381
01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:10,800
It will be fine.

1382
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:12,880
You're wearing a gorgeous outfit.

1383
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:14,960
I'm glad you guys are here.

1384
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,360
-Good that you're all here.
-Good you're here, man.

1385
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,360
The Zwarte Cross
is the festival of The Achterhoek.

1386
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,600
Freek is never afraid to think big,

1387
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:29,040
although I don't think he ever dared dream

1388
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:32,200
that they would play
the main stage at Zwarte Cross.

1389
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,440
Get yourself together.

1390
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:37,440
Holy shit, man.

1391
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,960
Suus was literally 200 meters
from the main stage cooking fries.

1392
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,880
She never dared dream
that she would ever stand up there.

1393
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,560
They haven't been so big for long,

1394
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,880
but if I know them

1395
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,400
and they keep doing what they want,

1396
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,120
I think they'll keep going
for a long time.

1397
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,760
Until they're 80 or something.

1398
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:02,280
This is it, guys.

1399
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:06,960
Zwarte Cross, here…

1400
01:17:07,480 --> 01:17:09,920
Suzan & Freek!

1401
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,520
Zwarte Cross, good afternoon!

1402
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,280
<i>But weren't we gold?</i>

1403
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:30,160
<i>Tell me, what if I can never forget you</i>?

1404
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:34,920
<i>Now suddenly you're gone</i>

1405
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,000
<i>But it doesn't yet really feel</i>

1406
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:38,640
<i>As if I can do this</i>

1407
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,960
<i>Do you think it's easy, perhaps</i>?

1408
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:45,640
<i>You're haunting my thoughts</i>

1409
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,640
<i>Because I still believe in us</i>

1410
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,040
<i>But weren't we gold?</i>

1411
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:56,080
<i>Tell me, what if I can never forget you</i>?

1412
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:00,320
<i>What if I can never forget you</i>?

1413
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,560
How great it is,
as someone from Achterhoek,

1414
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,120
to stand in front of so many people.

1415
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:11,400
You want to share this
with the people you hold dear.

1416
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,400
To see Suzan and Freek,
and all those people…

1417
01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:18,760
Where are all my people
from The Achterhoek?

1418
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,040
Great, yeah? Nice.

1419
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:23,840
We also try

1420
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,160
to involve family and friends a bit more.

1421
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,200
That's maybe because
we found it more challenging before,

1422
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,720
and then you don't let other people in

1423
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:38,040
because you think, I'm busy enough
with making sure it's all good.

1424
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,000
Now we have the space and the control

1425
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:45,240
to let friends and family
literally stand next to us on stage

1426
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:46,520
and watch along.

1427
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:48,160
And I'm very happy with that.

1428
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,720
Then the two worlds blend together more.

1429
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,040
Zwarte Cross,
may I have your loudest applause

1430
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,800
for none other than Snelle!

1431
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,520
This is such a moment of realization
for all three of us

1432
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,760
that we're up here in front of you
today at the Zwarte Cross.

1433
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,480
The best festival of the year.

1434
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,160
The fields are packed full everywhere.

1435
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,480
It's a 60-minute set,

1436
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,960
and there's only one song
where you might not know a few lines.

1437
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,920
For the rest, everyone sings along,
because they're the biggest right now.

1438
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,560
<i>It's quiet here on the other side</i>

1439
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,440
<i>But I come from here</i>

1440
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,680
<i>Where your bike can be left</i>

1441
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,560
<i>By the roadside unlocked</i>

1442
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,880
<i>It's quiet here on the other side…</i>

1443
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:38,200
You can be louder.

1444
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,080
As out of tune as you can.

1445
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,440
<i>It's quiet here on the other side</i>…

1446
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:44,400
-More off-key and louder.
-Come on.

1447
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,440
<i>It's quiet here on the other side</i>…

1448
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:50,720
-We're almost there.
-Yeah!

1449
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,720
<i>It's quiet here on the other side</i>…

1450
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,720
Zwarte Cross, let me hear you!

1451
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:00,520
<i>It's quiet here on the other side</i>

1452
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,120
<i>But I come from here</i>

1453
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,680
<i>Where your bike can be left</i>

1454
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,520
<i>By the roadside unlocked</i>

1455
01:20:17,440 --> 01:20:19,720
I think that we did dream of it, yes.

1456
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:23,720
I never thought that we would do this.

1457
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:28,520
I always thought
I had to do something really special.

1458
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,040
And I'm simply doing the same as always,

1459
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:34,200
and suddenly I can live
from the music alone.

1460
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,920
Yes, I'm happy
with where we are now and who we are.

1461
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,560
We belong there now.

1462
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,640
Before, I thought
we were simply visitors, you know?

1463
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:45,360
As if everyone had made a mistake.

1464
01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:48,320
They didn't realize
that we were standing among them.

1465
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:54,120
Now, after corona,
I feel more like we belong there.

1466
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:56,520
That it suddenly got so big,

1467
01:20:56,600 --> 01:21:01,320
I had never thought about it.
And I think it's really great.

1468
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:04,480
Zwarte Crossers!

1469
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,200
We love you!

1470
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,760
WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO
SUZAN & FREEK

1471
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:18,920
<i>I look around me</i>

1472
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,000
<i>And see the same street</i>

1473
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,520
<i>But it suddenly feels as if</i>

1474
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:26,920
<i>There is a new light here</i>

1475
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,840
<i>For all my life</i>

1476
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,920
<i>I passed it by</i>

1477
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,280
<i>But what I never saw</i>

1478
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,400
<i>You now release in me</i>

1479
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:42,800
<i>That it can be so beautiful here</i>

1480
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,480
<i>Do you feel the light</i>…

1481
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,320
And it has become our work,
but in this room it feels

1482
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,440
as if we're still
doing it for fun, which is true.

1483
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,240
I've never told Suzan
that we earn money from it.

1484
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:56,640
-Keep it that way.
-Yeah.

1485
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:00,560
Last week you were
wearing a body warmer, what was that?

1486
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:03,200
Was that a statement or something?
What was it?

1487
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,200
I thought, that can't be true.

1488
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,520
Why did you do that? Now you mention it.

1489
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,280
-What was that?
-You can do that. It's hip.

1490
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:11,880
-Is it really hip?
-Yes, it's hip.

1491
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,560
I sometimes lag behind,
but I thought, Freek!

1492
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:16,960
-Is it really hip?
-Yes, it's really hip.

1493
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:18,920
Yes?

1494
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,520
Also, the shoes with those narrow trousers

1495
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:29,400
and that large jacket. I thought, why?

1496
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,640
Why is everyone
wearing such a large jacket?

1497
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:38,320
-If you like it, you should do it.
-No, but yes. Okay.

1498
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,840
A little tent, or not?

1499
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:48,000
-Cheers, guys.
-Yeah, guys.

1500
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:49,760
There's a fly near you all the time.

1501
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,840
-Did you wash?
-Wash?

1502
01:22:52,480 --> 01:22:53,360
Dung fly.

1503
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,640
<i>But it is real</i>

1504
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,360
<i>Since you are here</i>

1505
01:23:00,440 --> 01:23:05,600
<i>I see everything differently</i>
<i>To how I know it</i>

1506
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:09,000
<i>Hope that it never goes</i>

1507
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,000
<i>Because we dream in color</i>

1508
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,680
<i>Everything seems</i>

1509
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:29,400
<i>More beautiful</i>, <i>now I'm looking</i>

1510
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,520
<i>With you</i>

1511
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,880
<i>Can you feel the light?</i>

1512
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:37,960
<i>Can you taste the mist</i>?

1513
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:43,520
<i>Easy to say that it's unreal</i>

1514
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,880
