Music Appreciation

lead guitarist George Kooymans wrote this song (Barry Hay didn't write any of the lyrics, as he often wrote lyrics for their songs starting in the early '70s, before which George had written most of their songs by himself). George had planned to use this for a solo album, and then they were talked into doing one more Golden Earring album, and George included "Twilight Zone" and it became a huge international hit.

Not the only hit where they traded lead vocals. The song below was a top 10 hit in Europe, from a 1989 album that was also a top 10 hit there but was never released in the States. This performance was from their 1993 concert for more than 100,000 fans on the beach near The Hague.
