Loading ...A few days ago we wrote something about the new A Brand single Mad Love Sweet Love and we were not able to find the clip for it. Well looks like the guys from A Brand have been working hard ever since and now there is A-Brand-new (get it?) video for Mad Love Sweet Love.
In the song/video you might notice the Barry-White-like vocals from Michael Houston. He’s not a member of A Brand, he is a 63 years old street performer in Antwerp and you can often find him on the Meir, one of the biggest shopping streets in Antwerp.
Enjoy:
Lyrics:
You can call me mad dog, sweet dog
You can call me any name
You can call this mad love, sweet love
But don’t leave us astray
Oh no, we believe
This is a love supremeI can call you black cat, white cat
I can call you many names
Oh no, we believe
This is a love supreme
And you’re doing it, you’re doing it
Time and time againYou provoked
Twisted love
As you cast your wills
Upon the world todayMad love, sweet love
You ignore the people’s laughter
You ignore this mad cup slain
You know just what you’re after
Come and get it right away
Oh no, we believe
This is a love supreme
And you’re doing it, you’re doing it
Time and time againYou provoked
Twisted love
As you cast your wills
Upon the world todayMad love, sweet love
I don’t mind you talking dirty
It comes out so unashamed
I don’t mind you talking dirty
It comes out so unashamedMad love, sweet love
Mad love, sweet love
Mad love, sweet love
Mad love, sweet love
And you’re doing it, you’re doing it
Time and time againYou provoked
Twisted love
As you cast your wills
Upon the world todayMad love, sweet love
You provoked
Twisted love
As you cast your wills
Upon the world today

Love this song! Is it possible that I remember Michael Houston as a street performer in Amsterdam, some 20 years ago? I have great memories of returning from work and planning my route in such a way that I would hopefully see this guy and enjoy his songs before going home. When I left Amsterdam and went back to the provinces, I missed this aspect more than anything else.

@Inge It’s very well possible you saw him as a street performer in Amsterdam a long time ago. Michael Houston has travelled all over and has performed in many cities in Europe. At some time he even had a restaurant in Germany. So he’s the one of those guys that has done hundreds of things in his life.
