Bloem's voice and musical style have been compared to Björk. Her music is mostly melodic although a couple of the songs on her album are quiet, just Bloem and her acoustic guitar. The album was produced by Pete Briquette, of Tricky fame. After her debut Bloem de Ligny virtually disappeared from the music scene, only to return in 2006 as Fono & Serafina, a duo with Ties van der Linden, releasing the dreamy trip hop album 'bathtub'.
Bloem is currently a member of Sam and the Womp, a British-Dutch group fronted by trumpeter Sam Ritchie. The group’s debut single "Bom Bom" was released as a digital download on 19 August 2012 and went to the No. 1 spot in the UK Singles Chart and has sold over a million copies worldwide.
Pink Serenity
Bloem De Ligny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I only are you and you hurt me come here here we
Are come 'buy' me over your tea you make me
So 'emblematical' you make me complete through
Any coast through any colour you break a moon
To me you pour the kickle on me you bring
The sun you bring me pink serenity.
I will always be there to hold up
You know the clouds will disapear
When you are near
Just enter honey I need to have you by me
Need to be beside you need you have you over me well I know
You make it good yeah well I know you make it good I need
To have you by me I need to be beside you so
Rhaouh! over me through any coast through any
Colour you break a moon to me you pour the
Kickle on me you bring the sun you bring me
Pink serenity.
If you ever lay a finger on my left
Side if you ever lay a finger on me I will
Open even if you let me oh no I will
Pass you by you know me I will pass
You by you know me
I know you make it good
Yeah well I know you make it good
Rhaouh!
I will pass you by
You know me
I will pass you by
You know me....
The lyrics of Bloem De Ligny's song Pink Serenity are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. The opening lines of "I may be just a moody goon I mean I am a you" can be seen as referencing the complexity of the singer's identity and perhaps a sense of detachment or confusion. The following lines "you hurt me come here here we are come 'buy' me over your tea" could be interpreted as a plea for comfort or support from someone who has caused pain, perhaps a lover or friend.
The chorus "I will always be there to hold up, you know the clouds will disappear when you are near" conveys a sense of loyalty and devotion, promising to be a constant source of support for this person. The lyrics "just enter honey I need to have you by me" and "need to be beside you" also suggest a longing for closeness and intimacy. The final lines of the song "If you ever lay a finger on my left side if you ever lay a finger on me I will open even if you let me" are somewhat enigmatic, but could be interpreted as a warning against mistreatment or abuse, and a promise to remain open and vulnerable regardless.
