‘Marco Borsato is over shame with new song’ | Columns & Opinion

Emotional Incontinence

I was having my first cup of coffee this morning when my brother asked an unexpected question in our family app. Whether we had already heard Marco Borsato’s new song. “Such a good song,” he chirped after it, followed by a screenshot of the lyrics. ‘It’s always a fight. My head, my heart. Just one more second with you, ”he highlighted some sentences. We asked him to stop. We don’t like emotional incontinence.

Injustice

He called me up, so my brother. Whether I wanted to discuss the text with him. I declined, hung up, and then he called my boyfriend and my ex-husband, who are all on the slightly twisted family app too. It was nice to wake up with the sober people around me, because if we are averse to something in this family, it is false sentiment. And the insincerity is dripping from this song.

Turned gray

It’s taste eh, let that be clear. You may like it. And it may touch you. But you don’t have to. I think it’s awful. I fear that my inbox today will fill up with pissed off Borsato fans who have discovered somewhere in the archives of my writing that I have cheated myself, so I should keep quiet. Don’t touch their Marco. They have now turned the record gray and give everyone that second chance in life. And a third, fourth, fifth and sixth too.

Shame over

What bothers me most about ‘Just a moment’ is Leontine’s shameless claim. Let go of that woman. “Honey, grab me one more time, one more time before you go. I know it’s too late, but give me one second with you. So that I recognize it if it ever stands in front of me. My heart knows forever and I will never forget what love feels like. ‘ Which. That text, zum kotzen. So you cheated on her multiple times and now you still ask if she wants to help you recognize your love? Man, man, the shame is beyond really. Do it yourself.

Where is your dignity

It is the song of life. Of course it is part of that exasperating frenzy with emotions. Leontine loved it. Vulnerable. Pure and Loving. It touches her deeply. And that is nice, of course, that she takes it so positively. I just shake my head when I read something like that. It’s better than hating him and fighting each other out, as the majority of exes take as a course of action. But come on; where is your dignity? He had gotten a middle finger from me.

Remains fascinating

And then on 13 March we have THE Interview that the Netherlands seems to be waiting for: Marco joins Linda de Mol’s Winter Month. The circle of fuss is round again. I expect an acted tear. Lots of hollow phrases. Answers that you could use one-on-one as the lyrics for the next sugary hit. We can also tie a bow around this whole thing. The entertainment world remains fascinating. Fascinating, entertaining, but also deadly tiring.
