About the artist: Boudewijn de Groot (1944) is a Dutch singer-songwriter, whose albums and singles (all in Dutch) were popular in the Netherlands in the sixties and seventies. He released 13 studio albums. Boudewijn de Groot currently has one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.
About the song: Testament (Last will) is a track from the 1966 album Voor de overlevenden (For the survivors). It describes the feelings of a man who at 22 definitely says goodbye to his youth to enter society and decides to leave his collected experiences to whomever he thinks they suit best. Outstanding lyrics, alternating between sweet and cynical, and a great melody to boot. Run time 3:18.
