It's written on the wall
You can hear it on the tram
You can see it in all eyes
It won't take much longer
And it's really great news
It's really great news
That the sun and all the stars are lies and not real
And what seemed so terribly important is erased and canceled
And that's great news
That's great news
Friends become strangers and no memory can come along
And all the time you wanted to save
Crumbles slowly in your hand
And blows out to sea
And that's great news
That's great news
Great news
Say goodbye to the one you always wanted to be
If there's still something you want to say, do it quick
There's not much time
Because the clouds are getting dark
And the storm is drawing near
Hear the distant dogs howl
See the last starlings flee before the end
Because everything's going to change
And it was high time
Because the rust is creeping toward your eyes
And the shadow gains ground
On everything you once found so beautiful
On all the prizes you received
When the new sun rises
The streets are wide and empty
And in the morning we'll be complete strangers again
And when I meet you again
I'll finally be someone else
I'll be honest, strong and real and true and good
And then we'll drink the rain
And then we'll eat the wind
And then we'll be friends again
Just friends again like before
Nothing more
And that's great news
That's great news
Great news!
Great news

SONG MEANING

Spinvis turns the idea of “good news” on its head in this hauntingly playful track. Heel Goed Nieuws sounds like an apocalyptic bulletin: walls whisper, storms gather, friends drift into strangers. Yet every ominous sign is met with the same bright refrain: “Dat is heel goed nieuws!” Why? Because the artist is celebrating the grand reset. The burning‐away of fake suns, fading memories and rusted trophies means we can finally drop our masks and start fresh.

Under the looming clouds lies a strangely hopeful message. When the old world crumbles, we meet each other again as blank slates, ready to “drink the rain” and “eat the wind” like wide-eyed children. Spinvis invites us to welcome change rather than fear it, reminding us that in every ending hides the freedom to become honest, strong and real. It is a quirky Dutch pep-talk for embracing impermanence – and that, indeed, is heel goed nieuws!
