Kimberley Looijen…een fantastische danseres / choreografe met hartstochtelijke en ingetogen expressie. Lied stamt uit 1974 een heus commune lied van HOLE AND CORNER…maar wat geeft het? Tijd bestaat niet ‘inside the clock’.
En de tekst blijft actueel met een nieuwe, wereldwijde godsdienst strijd waar de mens zijn eigen verantwoordelijkheid zoveel mogelijk op de ander probeert af te schuiven.
words / music Bert Smeets; with an extended choreography from Kimberley Looijen graduated from dance academy Utrecht. Many thanks to cinema Lumiere, Maastricht Anna Nita. Student Hotel Maastricht and Karel for trying to fly and the beautiful landscape of Jekerdal / Apostelhoeve
PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING (to get higher)
With their goddamn orders and their goddamn signs
and their goddamn feelings coming out of the blue sky
when they try to catch you with every footstep on the ground oh my oh my oh my
Who are all those drawers and their million lines
their drawing for you all day dark
now it sticks to your human relations
one by one oh my oh my
People are just trying, trying trying
Trying to get higher- higher…higher
Even if you are a perfect liar, perfection gets you sometimes
now you you’ve got to show-up, too much to handle
there’s no happy-ending, no happy-ending oh my
oh my people are just trying..
trying to get higher
come on babe tell me what you find is it nothing
nothing but loving just nothing
nothing but loving
come on babe tell me what you find is it loving
nothing but loving just loving, nothing but loving yeah
So come on babe take me in your arms and
rock me sweetly in a heavenly prime
let me look for the day I’m deadly near by now
to-night-to-night babe I’m just trying …
