Official video for original Alan Lauris song 'Not too big' with animation by Maaike Nijholt.

30 cities

none of them big

but altogether

they're one big metropolis

Millions of people

but we think that we're small

we say: ''just act normal

that's crazy enough after all''

So when we need buildings

bridges and tunnels

houses and motorways

it shouldn't be striking

so this is what we say:

Please not too big

and not too tall

we like it flat and small

with many trees

or we build walls

in fact, we don't like things to change at all

We have this system

where everyone can

give his opinion

about every vision or plan

We call it poldering

some say it's not wise

cause every ambition

leads to grey compromise

So goodbye to ambition

and daring big visions

hello to the complex game

that will take ages

to let it all look the same:

but during the past few months I noticed something strange

there were many big new plans and no complaints

are we waking up? are there some changes made?

do we connect ourselves to the world or do we fade?

Please not too big (just keep it modest, we are calvinists)

and not too tall (if it's above ground level: reject it)

we like it flat and small

with many trees (get on your knees)

or we build walls (it's all prestige)

in fact, we don't like things to change here

don't like things to change here

we don't like things to change at all

compromising

poldering (repeat)
