Seven Tears is the seventh studio album by The Hague, South Holland - based rock band Golden Earring, originally (and until 1969) titled The Golden Earrings. 1971 began with the single Holy Holy Life, which had a heavy rock sound. The song, which cursed the hypocrisy of the official religion, reached number 5 in the Netherlands. The single was followed by the album Seven Tears, the title of which reflected, firstly, that it was the band's seventh album, and secondly, that it included seven songs.One long single, She Flies On Strange Wings, was selected from the album, which should be noted for the unusual saxophone of Barry Hay. Due to its length, the song occupied both sides of the vinyl single. The Dutch charts marked it at No. 4. Inspired by the Beatles ' film Let It Be, a film was made for this single, in which Golden Earring performed on the roof of the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam. The album Seven Tears ended with the song You're Better Off Free, sung by Coymans and featuring a thumping guitar solo. During the recording of Seven Tears, Kooijmans, Gerritsen and Suderwijk, along with several other Dutch musicians, teamed up and recorded a rock version of the traditional Dutch music Hans Brinker Symphony, which was released by Polydor under the overall name "Holland" and was a great success in the Dutch charts. ...more
