I'll never find another you (The Seekers)
+ Mensen zoals wij (The Shepherds)
with introduction in English and Dutch
Introductie, zang en gitaar Ytzen Lont 25 december 2020
You can also listen to the short Dutch version (same date) without introduction.
The original song is called ‘I’ll Never Find Another You’ by an Australian folk group called The Seekers. The single was released in 1964 and became a number one hit song in the United Kingdom in 1965. Already in 1964 a Dutch group called The Shepherds came out with a cover song: Mensen zoals wij (People like us).
In the Dutch part of the introduction I explain how I heard the Dutch version for the first time in 1971 during a weekend training as a boy scout leader, when someone came up with the meditative song of The Shepherds, that we sang together during the Sunday morning service. After the love song of The Seekers I sing the Dutch version of The Shepherds, called ‘People like us’. All over the world there are people like us, who wish the same as we do, that is to live in peace. Every country has borders, which might give us the idea that on the other side people are completely different, but they are not. When we want to see our children happy, we must make sure that our future world will be less divided than today and lives in peace. (You can read the full text of the introduction at my blog/vlog.)
