1. Frank Boeijen is a Dutch singer/songwriter, who was the front man of popular (and eponymous) pop group De Frank Boeijen Groep from 1980 until 1991, the year he went solo. As leader of De Frank Boeijen Groep, Boeijen was one of the pioneers of Nederpop; along with the likes of Doe Maar en Het Goede Doel. After the peak of Nederpop passed, Boeijen broke new ground by touring theatres with his band and bringing pop music to new auditoriums and audiences. As a solo artist, he has kept to this theatre based approach of his music and maintained a productive pace.
Frank Boeijen was born in Nijmegen, The Netherlands on November 27, 1957, as the last in a family of ten children. His father was a typesetter in a factory. His older brothers were into American pop music; in the Boeijen household, Bob Dylan and Neil Young were often to be found on the record player (years later, Boeijen would write a song about this, appropriately titled Robbert Zimmerman). Young Frank learned to play the guitar. After finishing high school, Boeijen started a musical collaboration with guitarist Wout Pennings. Boeijen en Pennings released an album together in 1977. The songs of the album were re-recorded and the album was re-released a year later, with Rob de Nijs acting as producer. It was appropriately titled Boeijen en Pennings. To fulfil live engagements, drummer Henk Wanders en bass player Nels Busch joined the duo.
Pennings left the band in 1979 and was replaced with guitar player Wil Theunissen. The name was changed into the Frank Boeijen Groep. The b-side of their fist single, a song entitled Verjaardagsfeest was picked on up by radio disc jockey Frits Spits, who played the record a lot during his evening show. The group released their debut album, simply entitled Frank Boeijen Groep, album later that year. On the base of the airplay of Verjaardagsfeest, the album reached the Tipparade.
Nederpop, pop music with Dutch vocals, was becoming a mainstream success in the early eighties, and the Frank Boeijen Groep hitched a wagon to that train, when their single Linda, reached the Top Forty. Zwart Wit, another single, written after a racial murder had taken place in Amsterdam, became a number one hit. 1982's Twee and 1983's 1001 Hotel became big sellers.
In 1984, the Frank Boeijen Groep was awarded the Zilveren Harp by Conamus. In that same year, album Kontakt was released. Lead guitarist Wil Theunissen quit the group later that year and replaced with Maarten Peters, who himself was replaced two years later by Ger Hoeijmakers. In 1985, the group released Foto Van Een Mooie Dag. Single Kronenburg Park -- named after Kronenburger Park a park in Nijmegen, Boeijen's place of birth and residence -- became a huge success. Follow up, In Nature, released in 1986, didn't do as well, but still sold respectively.
Towards the end of the eighties, Boeijen's music fell somewhere in between het levenslied of André Hazes, the chansons of Ramses Shaffy and the pop of Doe Maar. According to Frank Boeijen and his manager Paul Schouwenaars the group had outgrown clubs and tents. With the release of album Welkom In Utopia in 1987, the group decided to tour Dutch theatres. The Welkom In Utopia tour started in the Stadsschouwburg in Amsterdam in September of the same year. Two more albums were released: studio album Een Zomer Aan Het Eind Van De Twintigste Eeuw (1989) and live album Hier Komt De Storm. During these years, Frank Boeijen dated Sky Channel presenter Amanda Redington. The two would marry in 1990. The album Dans In Slow Motion, released in 1988, was written for her. In juni 1994 scheidden ze weer van elkaar.
In the spring of 1991, Boeijen announced the ending of his group. In November of that year, he released his first solo album Wilde Bloemen. The musicians on the album were drummer Norman Bonink, guitar player Peter van Benthem and bass player Michel van Schie. Van Schie was replaced by touring bass player René te Voortwis, and pianist Ton Snijders was also recorded. Wilde Bloemen featured several duets with other well known Dutch musicians, among them were: Twee Gezichten, a song written and recorded with Henk Hofstede of The Nits); and Het IJs, written and recorded with Henny Vrienten of Doe Maar).
In the summer of 1993, Boeijen recorded Jazz in Barcelona; an album concerned with the break up between him and Amanda Redington. The subsequent theatre tour was a big success, with sold out shows every evening. Traces of Boeijen's break up were also to be found on next album De Ontmoeting (1994 - an even more spare and intimate affair than Jazz In Barcelona. De Ontmoeting also featured a single, Twee Mannen Zo Stil, with music and lyrics by Boeijen and Stef Bos. Although the single failed to mount the charts, over the years it became a Nederpop classic, often played at funerals. In the same year, Boeijen produced an album for Liesbeth List, the female voice of Ramses Shaffy's recordings. In 1995, another live album, Stormvogels, hit the shelves.
Boeijen returned with two new albums in 1997: a greatest hits compilation, Het Beste En Het Mooiste and an album of new material, Vaderland. The year before, Boeijen had travelled extensively through Asia, and a lot of the songs, although concerning Boeijen and The Netherlands, were written from a distant perspective. In 1999, De Ballade van de Dromedaris, recorded in Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio's appeared, followed by live album Door De Jaren Heen, containing several duets with Ramses Shaffy, Liesbeth List and Stef Bos. Both albums were big sellers. In 2001, Heden, was released. Drummer Norman Bonink left the group to join BLØF. He seat was filled by Oscar Kraal. Helder contained a collaboration between Boeijen and BLØF front man Paskal Jakobsen, single Geen Gevaar. The song was released in the summer of 2002. In the same year, Boeijen won an Edison award as best singer.

Frank Boeijen Lyrics
Ik weet niet wat jou zover heeft gebracht
Als ik jou zie, 's avonds in het park
De autolichten beschijnen je lichaam
Zonder ogen, zonder herinnering
Ik neem aan dat je nooit liefde hebt gehad
Ook niet toen dat zo belangrijk voor je was
De woorden die bij jou horen zijn goedkoper dan ik dacht
In 1 seconde ging het regenen vannacht
Ga die wereld uit
1 seconde, en rij snel door die wereld uit
Ga die wereld uit
1 seconde, en kijk goed rond in ons paradijs
En vraag niet naar de weg, want iedereen is de weg kwijt
Op zoek naar het geluk in Kronenburg Park
Thuis wacht een vrouw onwetend op haar man
Ze heeft nooit iets gevoel van zijn ontevredenheid
En alles blijft bij het oude als hij naar huis rijdt
Ga die wereld uit
1 seconde, en rij snel door die wereld uit
Ga die wereld uit
1 seconde, en kijk goed rond in ons paradijs
En vraag niet naar de weg, want iedereen is de weg kwijt
Aaaah
En alles blijft bij het oude
Als hij naar huis rijdt
Ga die wereld uit
1 seconde, en rij snel door die wereld uit
Ga die wereld uit
1 seconde, en kijk goed rond in ons paradijs
En vraag niet naar de weg, want iedereen is de weg kwijt
Aaaah...

I could never guess what brought you to this pass
As I spot you late at night by the park
Passing headlights are flooding your body
Seeing nothing, forgetting instantly
Perhaps you never knew love growing up
Who knows, the difference that might have made
The words we exchange are shockingly cheap
A moment passes as the rain starts pouring down
Leave that world behind
One moment, keep driving out of this place
Leave that world behind
One moment, and remember our little paradise
Directions are pointless for we have all lost our way
Seeking happiness in Kronenburg Park
A wife awaits at home, blithely unaware
His dissatisfaction has always passed her by
Nothing is resolved as he's on his way home
Leave that world behind
One moment, keep driving out of this place
Leave that world behind
One moment, and remember our paradise
Directions are useless for we are all rudderless
Nothing is resolved, he's on his way home

Ik weet niet wat jou zover heeft gebracht
Als ik jou zie 's avonds bij het park
De autolichten beschijnen je lichaam
Zonder ogen, zonder herinnering
Ik neem aan dat je nooit liefde hebt gehad
Ook niet toen dat zo belangrijk voor je was
De woorden die bij jou horen zijn goedkoper dan ik dacht
In een seconde ging het regenen vannacht
Refrein:
Ga die wereld uit
Een seconde en rij snel door die wereld uit
Ga die wereld uit
Een seconde en kijk goed rond in ons paradijs
En vraag niet naar de weg, want iedereen is de weg kwijt
Op zoek naar geluk in Kronenburg Park
Thuis wacht een vrouw onwetend op haar man
Ze heeft nooit iets gevoeld van zijn ontevredenheid
En alles blijft bij het oude, als hij weer naar huis rijdt
Refrein:
Ga die wereld uit
Een seconde en rij snel door die wereld uit
Ga die wereld uit
Een seconde en kijk goed rond in ons paradijs
En vraag niet naar de weg, want iedereen is de weg kwijt
En alles blijft bij het oude, als hij weer naar huis rijdt
Refrein:
Ga die wereld uit
Een seconde en rij snel door die wereld uit
Ga die wereld uit
Een seconde en kijk goed rond in ons paradijs
En vraag niet naar de weg, want iedereen is de weg kwijt

Sorry that it took long to write the lyrics but I had it really bussy with my school and other things. But here is the Lyrics in English.
I don't know, what has brought you this way.
When I see you in the night of this park.
The carlights is shining youre body.
Without eyes, without memory's.
I assume that you have had never love.
Even when it was really important for you.
The words that belongs to you are much cheaper then I thought.
In 1 second it began to this night.
Refrain:
Go out of that world.
1 Second and drive fast out of that world
Get out of that world.
1 second and look very good in our paradise.
And don't ask to the way, Beceause everyone has lost it's way.
Searching for any luck in Kronenburg Park.
At home waits a wife unknowing for her husband.
She has never once feld for his discontent.
And everything stays with the old when he drives home.
Refrain:
And everything stays with the old when he drives home.
Refrain:
Last part are just woman that are singing ha ha ha ha.
If someone is from the Netherlands and I have wrote something not really good pleas let me know and I change it so fast as I can.
