De Jug
Opgezwolle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Of je die nog zo vaak ziet in instrumenthandels
dat weet ik eigenlijk niet
een soort, je zou kunnen zeggen. strot
en verder een aarden kruik, waarop gespeeld kan worden,
maar het hoeft niet specifiek van aarde te zijn
waar je dat basgeluid op maakt:
The lyrics of Opgezwolle's song De Jug, describe an instrumental piece that features a sample from a radio show that explains the use and origin of an unusual instrument called "De Jug." The sample explains that "De Jug" is essentially a jug made of earthen material that is used to produce a bass sound. The uniqueness of this instrument lies in the fact that it can also be played as a wind instrument, given that it has a "strot" or a throat-like opening. The lyrics suggest that although it is a rare instrument, it is not completely unknown as it might still be found in some instrument stores.
The song offers a unique insight into the fascinating world of musical instruments and their varied sounds. Furthermore, the use of the radio sample adds a sense of documentary-style storytelling to the song, which helps to further contextualize the instrument and its significance in the world of music. The song's use of this instrument serves as a testament to the creativity and inventiveness of musicians who are constantly searching for new and unique ways to push the boundaries of music.
