The song \u201czu alt?\u201d is a philosophical question about life. It is based on a poem penned by the nl poet Drieck van Wissen (Poet of Vaderland). \u201cUntil now, nobody in dey has known these texts and the songs based on them,\u201d says Anton.\u00a0And that’s what the song is about: \u201cSomehow you’re always told that you’re too old as a human being,\u201d says Anton van Doornmalen and adds: \u201c… however young you are.\u201d Only when the final hour has struck are you too young. The composition goes back to the nl song \u201cLeeftijd\u201d, which Anton composed and which is based on the poem by van Wissen.\u00a0Actually, \u201cLeeftijd\u201d means age. In the new version, the noun becomes a question. The song says: \u201cYou’re too old, you keep telling yourself \/ Too old to still be half-strong \/ Too old for pub crawls and womanizing \/ So many things you’d still like to have done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
