In the early Seventies, the band switched to hard rock and had its first successes, including a brace of Top 40 hits. After original singer Veerman left and drummer Keizer took his place behind the microphone, the band made a musical U-turn and opted for commercial radio pop, adding female co-vocalist Annie Schilder and laying the foundation for their status as the most popular Dutch band ever (in terms of hit singles and albums). BZN has had over 50 hits in the Dutch hit parade to date.
BZN's claim to fame started with the song "Mon Amour" (1976), which held the #1 hit parade ranking for over 5 weeks. Outside of the Netherlands the band has had some success as well, amongst which several hits in South Africa (such as "Yeppa" in 1990) and minor successes with their French-language songs in Canada.
Through the years there have been many lineup changes, the most important of which have been the departure of Schilder in 1984 (replaced by Carola Smit) and in 1988 of the brothers Cees and Thomas Tol (keyboards), who until then had been responsible for most of the music and lyrics. The band remained nevertheless successful, making their last major change in strategy when they decided to write in Dutch instead of English as of 2003.
BZN are also responsible for the initial success of singer Jan Smit (singer), who was discovered by BZN at the age of 10 and went on to have pop and schlager successes in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
On February 15 2006, BZN announced they would do one final tour and then call it quits. This goodbye tour is scheduled to last until June 2007.
Everyday I Have to Cry
BZN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This was my love, I didn't wanna share it
I thought this love would make my life bright and sunny
But she said she couldn't love me 'cause I didn't have no money
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
I have me a girl, I guess I really love her
Every night, I would thinking of her
But she gave me a love with money
'Cause when you do it's gonna hurt somebody
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Ev'ry day I have to cry
Lord I know, that I'm just a poor man
But is it wrong to love, 'cause I'm not a rich man
Every time you make her love with money
And every time it's gonna hurt somebody
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Ev'ry day I have to cry
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Ev'ry day I have to cry
Ev'ry day I have to cry some
Ev'ry day I have to cry.
The lyrics of BZN's song Everyday I Have to Cry depict the struggle of a man who loves a girl dearly but is unable to win her heart because he doesn't have any money. The singer is shown lamenting the fact that love has become tied to material wealth and that it's impossible for him to attain his dream of marrying the girl he loves because of his financial status. The lyrics bring out the pain and frustration of the singer as he is forced to see his love wither away because of this social construct.
The first stanza is essentially the introduction to the situation. The singer explains that he had a girl he wanted to marry, but she ended up breaking his heart because he didn't have any money. He had believed that their love was going to create a happy and bright future for him, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. The second stanza describes how the singer is deeply in love with this girl and thinks about her every night. But even though she reciprocates his feelings, she gives him no chance because of his lack of wealth. The final stanza delves deeper into the frustration of the singer, as he wonders why he is being so severely punished for being unable to earn money. He ultimately questions why love has to be tied to wealth and why he is the one suffering because of it.
Overall, the lyrics are a commentary on how financial status affects relationships and love, which is a universal issue that many people face. The song highlights how often love and money become intertwined in our society and how this hurts people who are unable to achieve financial success.
