Now that about half of our national artist roster is on the bench, it is extra delightful that Thomas Acda and Paul de Munnik announced on Thursday that they are forming a duo again. On Beau, they sat like a couple after a midlife breakup, looking beautiful and singing again. To celebrate, I gathered their most beautiful lines. Here we go, Spotify on and let the tears flow.

From Run Lenny Run

‘When the rain is pouring down
When the grass is reaching for your feet
When the wind caresses your cheeks, here I am

When the sea covers you with foam
When the crying echoes through houses
When the wind pushes you forward, here I am

When your hair blows in your eyes
When your coat wraps around your body
When the wind caresses your cheeks, know that I miss you’

From CD of you, CD of me

‘And then she screams and then she is silent
And I scream and am silent to her
We are going to break up today anyway

CD of you, CD of me
CD of both of us
But received from my mother
From my mother so from me’

From Vondelpark last night

‘He screams, she doesn’t answer his question
and her tears are too late

Then he hears the man (the man) in the distance
The man who keeps asking the same thing
he writes: how does Vondelpark smell tonight
and has swept away her armor’

From Walking until the sun comes up

‘Let your man sleep peacefully
Then we have some time
Just stay warm by the window,
I just want to get something off my chest
Or actually I want to know:
Do you have everything you wanted now?
Did you wake up with a smile?
Does he often say: ‘I love you“?
Does he hold you tight when you’re sometimes scared?
Does he know your fear and your sorrow?
Just shake your head, dear
It’s logical that you left me’

From Beautiful song

‘Last night
When I am alone
When I cry for you
Then I drink many fading things
Unable to control myself
I just want to sing my pain
And that’s why I sing now
A beautiful song for you’

And if you’re still not convinced, take a look at this duo on Beau.
