Racoon
Racoon is a Dutch pop-rock band founded in 1997 in Goes, Zeeland. Bart van der Weide (vocals) and Dennis Huige (guitar) were fed up with the sound of their hardcore rockband Vic'tem and decided to go acoustic. Their first writings resulted in a song called Rapid Eye Movement. For their first release, a demo called "It's an Ice Cream Day", Stefan de Kroon (bass) and Paul Bukkens (drums) completed the band's line-up.
The band made a breakthrough appearance at the 1999 Noorderslagfestival in Groningen, resulting in lots of record deal offers.

The band made a breakthrough appearance at the 1999 Noorderslagfestival in Groningen, resulting in lots of record deal offers. Contracted by Sony's S.M.A.R.T. label, they released their first album Till Monkeys Fly in January 2000. Produced by Michael Schoots, former Urban Dance Squad drummer, the album hit the charts receiving nationwide airplay. Both the first single Feel Like Flying and the second one, Blue Days, became a 3FM megahit. Their festival appearances on Parkpop and Lowlands confirmed their image as a live-act.
Summer 2001 Here We Go, Stereo! was released as their second full-length record. Widely acclaimed, this record was their ticket to play at the Netherlands's largest festival: Pinkpop.
While working on their third album, Sony ended the record deal. With help from Dutch radio station 3FM and the producer of their first album, they signed a contract with PIAS, to release their 3rd album early 2005. The fresh and mature sound, combined with a more serious approach on songwriting got Another Day a slow start with Happy Family. The second single Love You More hits hard: they claimed 3rd spot on the Dutch Top 40; the album skyrocketed to 6th position in the Album Charts. A succesful club tour during autumn and winter 2005 resulted in the release of their first live DVD called Another Night. And the fans really found their true love back, voting Racoon to be Pinkpop's Gouden Tip ("Viewers Choice") for 2006, claiming a spot on the mainstage.
After this clubtour they decided to fulfill a long-lasting dream for the bands vocalist (Bart van der Weide) and went on a theatertour all across Holland, with the adition of a keyboardplayer (Manu van Os) and a re-write of most of the songs to slim them down a bit. They blew away most fans with the awsome sounding back to basics tour filled with emotions and a new track called Close Your Eyes.
After the theatertour Manu went on to join Di-rect for their theatertour. Currently the band is recording a new album

Racoon Lyrics
Clouds above go sailing by
I found my meaning in this life
Clear white is flying in my eyes
Underneath a blue, blue sky
The waves come rolling in with the tide
I've been away too long
And every day I missed you more
You look like you did before
Only prettier
Every day I love you more
All the people rushing by, by, by
Looking for meaning in this life
So used up, and blinded by lies
They're underneath the blue, blue sky
The way they seldom seem to smile
I don't know why
'Cause I've been away too long
And every day I missed you more
You look like you did before
Only prettier
Every day I love you more
I love you more
Everyday I love you more
And more
Cause I've been away too long
And every day I missed you more
You look like you did before
Only prettier
And every day I missed you more
And more and more and more and more
I've been away too long
And every day I missed you more
Oh you look like you did before
Only prettier
Everyday I love you more
I love you more
Everyday I love you more

Clouds above go sailing by
I found my meaning in this life
Clear white is flying in my eyes
Underneath a blue, blue sky
The waves come rolling in with the tide
[Chorus]
I've been away too long
And every day I missed you more
You look like you did before, only prettier
Every day I love you more

All the people rushing by, by, by
Looking for meaning in this life
So used up, and blinded by lies
They're underneath the blue, blue sky
The way they seldom seem to smile
I don't know why

'Cause I've been away too long
And every day I missed you more
You look like you did before, only prettier

Every day I love you more.

Clouds above go sailing by
I found my meaning in this life
Clear white is flying in my eyes
Underneath a blue, blue sky
The waves come rolling in with the tide
Ive been away too long and everyday, I missed you more
You look like you did before only prettier
Everyday, I love you more
All the people rushing by, by, by
Looking for meaning in this life
So used up, and blinded by lies
Theyre underneath the blue, blue sky
The way they seldom seem to smile, I dont know why
Cause Ive been away too long
And every day I missed you more
You look like you did before only prettier
Everyday, I love you more, I love you more
Everyday, I love you more and more
'Cause Ive been away too long
And everyday, I missed you more
You look like you did before only prettier
And every day I missed you more
And more and more and more and more
Ive been away too long
And everyday I missed you more
Oh, you look like you did before only prettier
Everyday, I love you more, I love you more
Everyday, I love you more

When i was a small boy me and my dad listened and sang along to this song in the car (while i couldnt even understand what the song meant). Today my dad has left me for almost 4 years and I've been wanting to know the name of this song because i could only remember the harmonica piece of it. Today I heard this song in a supermarket and when I got home I listened to it (now I can understand whats being said so I can now find songs by their lyrics) and I'm now a 15 yr old boy and I dont cry easy but I bursted out into tears when I heard it because it felt like being stabbed into my heart. I am glad I know the name of the song now so I can listen to it sometimes to remind myself to the good times I had with my father.

Sterkte Jurgen. Laat de mooie momenten met je vader altijd in jou hart levend blijven.

Waarom dit geen wereldhit is geworden, geen idee, want dit is gewoon zo'n prachtig nummer, heerlijke muziek en die bijzondere stem, gotta love it :)
Roth Sothy
I've known the Armin van Buuren version of this song for almost 15 years, and only now just seeing the music video of the original for the first time. It's beautiful and made me teary eyed and full of feels.. Happy Valentine's Day 2019! ♥️
SIMONAY VAN WYK
Fell in love with a Dutch guy who introduced me to this song. I wish we didn’t live in different countries. This song is pure gold!!
