Ex-Prime Minister Guest Stars On A New Hit Ballad
Retirement is hard for some politicians. But former Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy found a creative outlet by recording a song about the power of love over hate. Van Rompuy, who was also the former European council president, guest stars on a track by the Flemish artist Dana Winner titled “Liefde wint altijd” or “Love always wins.” The former leader recites some of his poetry at the end of the anti-terrorism song that was released to commemorate the victims of the Brussels attacks. Van Rompuy croons:
“You asked me: ‘Where are the flowers.’
But you did not wait for an answer.
Because now you know there is only one thing,
which is stronger than hatred and all things bad.
