Tungevaag & Raaban - Wolf (Florianne Spijkers Acoustic Version) TungevaagRaaban

We receive many emails from people around the world and would like to thank you all who write to us. One of the most heartbreaking messages we have received comes from the Netherlands.

We wish you to take 2 min and 34 sec of your time, read this and listen to the acoustic version of our song, Wolf.


Hello Tungevaag & Raaban,

My name is Florianne Spijkers, I am 19 years old and I live in The Netherlands.

I ask your kind attention for my story. Part of my family lives in Norway, in Norheimsund to be specific.

The story is about my uncle Berend (my mom’s oldest brother) who lives there, or actually lived there.

He fell ill some 3 years ago, he appeared to suffer from skin cancer, although he was a real sportsman, non-smoker, an example for many people.

During this period of time he chose a symbol for who he is, how he felt, what his family and next of kin meant to him. The wolf!

For the strength of the wolf is in the pack and the strength of the pack is in the wolf.

So true.

My cousin, Berend’s son Frans-Philip, let me hear your song WOLF.

I decided to convert this song to an acoustic version, with help from my father, who plays the guitar.

Immediately after new years day 2018 we went to Norway to visit my uncle, during the last phase of his cancer. I sang WOLF, with tears in mý eyes and brought tears to everybody’s eyes, apparently. After the ‘performance’ he stated: “I wish I was more of a WOLF, girlie!”

Later that day I discussed the possibility, with him, to sing this on his funeral. He was moved and would very much like me to do so.

Last February he lost the fight and died, sadly enough he only reached the age of 55, leaving a wife and three adult children behind. And his mother and us, the rest of the family and all his friends of course.

So I sang, my father played the guitar, after the funeral for the public at large. Everybody was touched, for this was Berend.

And I want you to know that this was the last song anyone sang for him. Your song.

Your WOLF.

I have no other intentions than to thank you for composing this song. So striking for him in this awful situation. With gratitude I think back to the moments I sang this song for him, made possible by you.

Yours sincerely,

Florianne Spijkers
