Prinses



A song for Morlvision Song Contest 2022 by Martijn Frazer with lyrics by Karin van der Meulen. This was the first time they entered Morlvision.

Musical & lyrical content
The lyrics are inspired by the prompt "Peas" and deliberately don't make it immediately obvious this is the case. This is also why the song is called "Prinses" (from The Princess and the Pea), although most people seem to refer to it as "the pea song".

The song features several contrasting sections: ballad-like electric piano-heavy verses, more upbeat jangly choruses, a slow electric guitar breakdown with choir-like vocals and an anthem-like outro in which the word 'pea' is sung in various languages.

Video
The video was shot in Martijn & Karin's newly built garden, which had only just been completed for no more than a few weeks at the time. It features various pea dishes between shots of Martijn playing various instruments. It is subtitled in both Dutch and English.

The video can be found on Martijn's YouTube channel:

Results
The song came in 3rd place during Morlvision 2022.
