Picture the kind of friend or lover who seems to read your mind: they sense when you’re lost, nudge you back on track, let you roam free, then pull the brake just before you go off the rails. In Iemand Als Jij (Someone Like You), Huub van der Lubbe celebrates exactly that magical person. The lyrics list a playful, heartfelt checklist of super-powers: knowing you better than you know yourself, laughing at life’s chaos, crying without wallowing, and loving you even when you feel like nothing at all.
By repeating the mantra “Iemand als jij, zo is er niemand” (Someone like you, there is no one), the song turns into a warm ode to the rare soul mate who is both compass and comfort blanket. It’s a feel-good reminder that when you find the one who gets you, every detour, meltdown, or chill wind suddenly feels manageable—and even a little bit fun.
