Holland

Holland is a region and former province on the western coast of the Netherlands. The name Holland is also frequently used to informally refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands. This usage is commonly accepted in other countries, but in the Netherlands and particularly in other regions of the country it could be found undesirable or even insulting.

From the 10th to the 16th century, Holland proper was a unified political region within the Holy Roman Empire as a county ruled by the Counts of Holland. By the 17th century, Holland had risen to become a maritime and economic power, dominating the other provinces of the newly independent Dutch Republic.

The area of the former County of Holland roughly coincides with the two current Dutch provinces of North Holland and South Holland, which together include the Netherlands' three largest cities: the capital city of Amsterdam; Rotterdam, home of Europe's largest port; and the seat of government of The Hague.

Etymology and terminology

Holland (surname)

Holland is a toponomical surname indicative of ancestral origin in the Dutch region of Holland, the Netherlands, or the English region of Holland (Lincolnshire), or the English towns of Upholland (Lancashire) and Holland-on-Sea (Essex). It is also an Anglicized version of Ó hUallacháin (or Houlihan or Holohan) and is a common surname on the [Beara Peninsula]] in southwestern County Cork, Ireland. It is also found in places where Beara immigrants settled, such as Butte, Montana, and southeastern Massachusetts.

  • Holland (album)

    Holland is the 19th studio album by the American rock group The Beach Boys, released in January 1973. It was recorded in Baambrugge, Netherlands over the summer of 1972 using a reconstructed studio sent from California, and with two Brian Wilson tracks rush-recorded in Los Angeles and added to the album at the last minute. The photograph on the album's front cover is an upside down image of the Kromme Waal, a canal that runs through the center of Amsterdam.

    Holland included a bonus EP, Mount Vernon and Fairway (A Fairy Tale), a musical fairy tale written by Brian Wilson about a magical transistor radio who appears to a young prince. Narration was provided by the group's manager: Jack Rieley.

    Background

    Just as Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" was coming to print, the Beach Boys, at manager Jack Rieley's urging, decided to pack up and record their next album in the Netherlands. They felt the change of scenery would make for some inspirational sessions, and perhaps even snap former leader Brian Wilson out of his deep depression.

    Call It A Day

    by: Holland

    It's hard to say goodbye when
    I never got the chance
    I missed the mark on where to stop,
    And now we just can't start again
    And I know that this ain't easy,
    But I'm giving it a shot
    To carry on since you've been gone
    Takes all my faith and that's all I've got
    Are the lights bright just enough to see me?
    Will you be waiting just to meet me there?
    Let's call it a day
    There's nothing left to say
    My luck is running out
    And you're taking over
    I've jumped the gun again
    I've lost my only friend
    To the hands that make the stars
    And that draw me closer
    And I stop every time my heart beats
    I get closer to a dream
    That's always out in front of me
    And I can't... I can't hold anything back
    Confidence in what I lack
    Is more than I could ever ask
    Are the lights bright just enough to see me?
    Will you be waiting just to meet me there?
    Let's call it a day
    There's nothing left to say
    My luck is running out
    And you're taking over
    I've jumped the gun again
    I've lost my only friend
    To the hands that make the stars
