Erik de Jong (Spinvis): “We have toured with Solo in The Netherlands and Belgium for quite some time. I would wait in the dressing room, except when this song came on, because I would stand in the wings on the side listening, every night. It’s a perfect song. And its meaning now… no one could have imagined that. I translated the song, and for that you really must dive into the lyrics and dig up its meaning. And yes, it’s all terrible. But it’s also very beautiful.”

“That time with Solo was really very nice. Lucas, my pianist, was also there. We experienced this together. Michiel has always had such a drive, you know? That has always intrigued me. But not only this song, all those songs with Simon Gitsels on piano. They made a lasting impression. But yes, everything goes, it’s just a matter of time. That’s it.”

Michiel Flamman: “When Solo was just starting out, record label boss and manager Ferry Roseboom had the idea to take us on tour with Spinvis, opening for him in theatres. It gave us an audience, and it allowed Spinvis to play a more compact show. It turned out to be a stroke of genius. That’s how we built much of our audience. The fact that Spinvis, The Netherlands’ greatest troubadour of the 21st century, has now translated and performed a Solo song is an incredibly moving compliment. Together with his keyboardist Lucas Oldeman, they deliver a glowing version of ‘Everything Goes’, one that even we, as Solo, couldn’t improve upon.”
