I have loved this song since my childhood. A few years ago I consciously heard this song while on holiday in Holland in Zandvoort & it just felt like I just had to do it. Today the song connects me even more with this beautiful place. I'm looking forward to being there again in the summer. Best regards from Germany :)

Greetings to the Netherlands from the Lower Rhine Area (Kleve/Geldern). We call everything higher than 5m a hill and everything higher 40m a mountain!

I used to live in the Middle Rhine area (Neuwied/Koblenz) and saw the Nits live in concert at the 'Rheinkultur' Festival in Bonn in the early 90's 😀 Have moved to NZ nearly 20 years ago, though. People here were laughing at me at the beginning when I'd call a hill a "mountain" 😄

Still a great song in 2023.

The Nits are a very underrated band. They did so much wonderful songs! I saw them live in 1992 and I met them after the show. They are very nice people, as much as they are inspired. Hats off to the Nits!!

I too saw them in the early 90's, at the 'Rheinkultur' Festival in Bonn, Germany 😀 They had released their album 'Ting' then, and it was a great show! 😊 Free entry, too! 😁 Lost track of them after their '98 'Alankomaat' album, also because of my move to NZ a couple of years later; They're completely unknown here, sadly

I saw them live on Rodon down town Athens in 1994, awesome. Yeah, they are very underrated

One of the best songs of all time

Brilliant, brilliant video.

Incredible sound and orchestration.. Considered as a classic value in my mind, cheers from Athens.

They remind me of The Waterboys! Another great group from the same time frame. Fisherman's Blues was their big song. Adding this song to my favorites list!!!!!

Loved the NITS in the 80''ies. We were dancing the nights through while our fathers and mothers were at work or for any yoga-shops elsewhere. We loved the Dutch mountains a lot during those weekends. Everybody was fuzzed, but there was always an idiot to have a walk with the dogs

In the late 1980`s the Nits had a big hit with this song in austria , too . Hearing it again , more than 20 years later , it is still , what it ever was : A great piece of music ..... peter

This sound and vision consistently gives me ASMR.

I was born in the valley of bricks Where the river runs high above the rooftops I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night From the Dutch mountains I was standing in the valley of rock Up to my belly in an early fog I was looking for the road to a green painted house In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains Mountains I met a woman in the valley of stone She was painting roses on the walls of her home And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen Of the Dutch mountains Mountains I lost a button of my shirt today It fell on the ground And it was rolling away Like a trail leading me back To the Dutch mountains To the Dutch mountains Mountains I met a miller on the back of a cow He was looking for the wind but he didn't know how I said: Follow the cloud that looks like a sheep In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains Mountains Mountains Buildings

A friend who lives in the Netherlands sent me this video, I love the scene where he is in a boat that looked really peaceful!

I stumbled across them when I was lending cassette tapes from the local library as a kid. Since they only had a few dozen, I eventually tried them all. Good times.

'Klassieker Der Nederlandse Klassiekers' !! Forever !!

these cars in that street...real classics today

A Great Song By The Nits....trots !!!!

I love my water runned country. LANG LEVEN NEDERLAND!

Released as a single in the Netherlands in October 1987 and in the UK in January 1988.

didn't hear it for 10 years, and as I turned on the radio today, it was playing this. LoL

Een van Neerlands beste nummers, en bijbehorende clip. Instant klassieker!

Lovely scenery and song,.;-)

The Nits and hits forever!!

I'm here because I just heard a snippet on the Belgian quiz "Blokken"... How come I don't know this fantastic music in BE... 😮

I'm Dutch, this is just great :)

I was born in the Dutch mountains (Zuid-Limburg). Nits 2020.

1:34 wo ist denn das? sieht aus wie eine Gasse kurz nach dem Krieg oder ein Zigeuner Ghetto in der Slowakei. Obwohl es auch eine Strasse in Sarajevo sein könnte. Auf jedenfall finde ich diese kurze Frequenze sehr interessant. Kaputt, aber Kinder die da vergnügt spielen, genau so eine szene habe ich tatsächlich in sarajevo selbst gesehen und in Moldawien auch (aber da passen die Häuser nicht zu)

Billy Joel`s "The Downeaster Alexa" which came out two years after "In the Dutch Mountains", has, in terms of rhythm and harmony, an eerily similar feel` about it.

fantastic music and a great video.

You're right, there are no mountains in The Netherlands, only hills in the south. What he means with Dutch mountains are certain clouds which appear to be unique to The Netherlands. Seeing those clouds in the distance, they look like mountains.

ik hou van dit nummer xxx af en toe!

Very cool song! Like so many of theirs 😊 While liking this one, most of my friends don't like the fact that none of their others sound alike 😆

Actually there do exist mountains even in The Netherlands. Visit Nijverdal, Holten and Hellendoorn. There you will find the Sallandse Heuvel Rug which is a mountain with a rather high view stage to see many nearby villages and cities. (Closest village to the hilltop = Nijverdal)

My attention is focused at the trains at 1:50 Looks like British Rail and Liverpool. Is that Dutch location or at the UK?

No(t yet) Although some loonatics came up with the idea of constructing one a while ago... Yeah, right.. ;) Interpretations: #1: the comparison one can make with going uphill is driving against the (strong) wind, especially driving a bicycle. Ditto downhill of course. Winds can be strong in the open, flat countryside in NL, especially the costal areas. # 2:perceiving the silhouette of a large city from a distance (with its tall buildings) as mountains. #3: clouds (see post below).

its a reference to his childhood memories that there must be mountains beyond the border of his hometown Amsterdam.

Notice the voice inbetween not saying "mountains" but "mountes"!

They remind me of The Levellers here, although that was later.

I would never ask the Dutch how to climb a mountain, but I would ever listen to their experinces in building and strengthen dikes! There they are worldchampions! Think about the so-called Delta-project or the close-up of the IJsselmeer (Zuiderzee) from the Northsea!

@laurentg.2661

Ahahah... precisely not. Holland is called "Pays-Bas" in French, which means Low Land or Low Country. There are no mountains at all over there. Same for the north part of Belgium, which is often called The Flat Land :-) I guess the title of the song refers to reality as we would like it to be, but is not.

Correction "Netherlands" is "Les Pays-Bas" in french. Holland is "La Hollande" (sorry, it's not the same despite popular belief). Well in the utmost south of the Netherlands there are some "mountains", and when the Tour de France was there it even led to a polka-dot-jersey to be given there (Couberg in Valkenburg), but I guess that's all we got here in the Netherland ;) (Yeah, I'm Dutch myself) :)
