Trijntje Oosterhuis represented The Netherlands in 2015 with “Walk Along”. I however, discovered Trijntje prior to that contest, after hearing her song “Vlieg Met Me Mee (het avontuur)” released in 1998 as part of the soundtrack to the Dutch movie “Abeltje”. I was trying to improve my Dutch and this song had the perfect tempo, with very clear lyrics making it easy for me to listen and sing along. It is an uplifting song with soothing melodies, rich vocals and an emotional delivery.
“Vlieg Me Me Mee (het avontuur)” had modest success in the Dutch charts, peaking at 18th position in the Top 40.
