I love the #Netherlands , but around new year I really wish I lived somewhere else. I come from a country where fireworks are centralized. Everyone comes together at a few designated places and professionals give amazing fireworks shows. Here, it seems like a war zone for 2 months. I just don't get why people like to literally burn their money or, even worse, turn it into sound bombs.

What's the most disappointing is the lack of empathy. Empathy for small children, for pets, for the elderly, for people that are escaping war zone, for the birds, for the environment... I mean, what goes through the head of people who throw their own fireworks. I just don't get it...

New Year's Day

~

Yeah
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you, night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ah, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you, be with you
Night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
