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.
Maybe Someday
BZN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do we get tomorrow when we don't know what to say
All the fun we had is gone and the pretty girls around
Maybe someday I'll cry on my own
Maybe one day I'll try all alone
How would it be tomorrow when there's just another day
I know for sure that I ain't no more
What I am living for
Maybe someday I'll cry on my own
Maybe one day I'll try all alone
How is the day tomorrow will it rain or will it shine
Driving away my sorrows I see all my time goes by
I never had a bit affection
So I pray for it each night
Maybe someday I'll cry on my own
Maybe one day I'll try all alone
Maybe someday I'll cry on my own
Maybe one day I'll try all alone
Maybe some.....
The lyrics of BZN's "Maybe Someday" are a poignant reflection on the uncertainty and emotional turmoil that can plague our lives. The song begins with the question of what the future holds when we feel lost and without direction. It's a common feeling to wonder what tomorrow will bring when we are struggling in the present. The second line speaks to the difficulty of communication when we are at a loss for words. The song touches on the idea that life isn't always sweet and easy, especially when we lose the joy we once had.
The chorus of the song captures the sentiment that perhaps at some point, life will take a turn for the worse and we will find ourselves alone, without the comfort of others. The lyrics suggest that there are moments when we must learn to rely on ourselves and find the strength to carry on alone. The song expresses a sense of yearning and longing for something more, something better, and while there may be darkness in the present, maybe someday things will be different.
The middle of the song continues with the theme of uncertainty and the never-ending struggle to find purpose in life. The lyrics make it clear that the singer is lost and lacks direction. The line "yesterday I was in trouble and today it is the same" further emphasizes this point. The final lines, "I never had a bit of affection, so I pray for it each night," are particularly poignant. It reveals the vulnerability of the singer and their desire for love and affection.
