Nothing's better than braving the cold with you

There's people who move to warmer countries

But we've got no money in our cold hands

So we'll just go to your parents in Zoutelande

In Zoutelande

Chorus 1

And we're sitting here in the old beach house

What you say keeps me sober and warm

Above my head I see the gray clouds

I'm glad you're here

Glad you're here

Chorus 1

We're sitting here in the rickety beach house

I never cared where we were anyway

We drown ourselves in your father's booze

I'm glad you're here

Glad you're here

Verse 1

Nothing's more beautiful than crossing the country with you

In bleak places to have you with me

And seeing that it's good, seeing that we're buzzing

And with vodka and smoked herring

Between lifebuoys

Chorus 2

And we're sitting here in the old beach house

What you say keeps me sober and warm

Above my head I see the gray clouds

I'm glad you're here

Glad you're here

Chorus 2

We're sitting here in the rickety beach house

I never cared where we were anyway

We drown ourselves in your father's booze

I'm glad you're here

Glad you're here

I'm glad you're here

Chorus 2

And we're sitting here in the old beach house

What you say keeps me sober and warm

Above my head I see the gray clouds

I'm glad you're here

Glad you're here

I'm glad you're here

Chorus 2

We're sitting here in the rickety beach house

I never cared where we were anyway

We drown ourselves in your father's booze

I'm glad you're here

Glad you're here

SONG MEANING

“Zoutelande” feels like a postcard from a windswept Dutch beach. Instead of dreaming of palm trees, the singers choose the small seaside village of Zoutelande, because that is all their pockets allow. Grey skies, cold hands, and a shaky old beach house would sound bleak on paper, yet the song turns them into something magical. Why? Because every chill is countered by the warmth of being together. As they sip vodka from her dad’s stash and watch the clouds roll by, they realise that real paradise is simply wherever the other person is.

This track is a love letter to finding joy in modest moments. The lyrics celebrate shabby sofas, salty air, and budget travel across gloomy Dutch towns, all uplifted by the spark of shared adventure. “Zoutelande” reminds us that happiness does not need palm-tree luxury — it only needs good company, a dash of courage, and perhaps a little vodka to keep the cold at bay.
