https://www.njarts.net/belgian-musicians-send-message-to-springsteen-via-waitin-on-a-sunny-day-video/Three Belgian music schools have joined forces to lobby for a Bruce Springsteen performance in their country, creating a website, waitingforsunnydays.be; a Facebook page, facebook.com/Waitingforsunnydays; and a YouTube channel.
They have also made a video with more than 200 musicians playing Springsteens Waitin on a Sunny Day in a field; this follows a studio video made earlier this year. You can watch both below.
A message on the website reads:
What is Waiting for sunny days? Its the collaboration of 3 Belgian music schools: 1234asbl, Music Factory & the Rocks cool. For the first time these schools came together around the same project: that of gathering more than 200 musicians in a field to play Bruce Springsteens song Waitin on a sunny day. Beyond this gathering and this unforgettable memory, we hope that Mr. Springsteen will appreciate the result and will come to do us the honor of a concert in the Belgian fields because we want to prove that you dont have to be a big music business company to reach the greatest artists in the world. Our fingers are crossed and we are already so happy with this music video and this incredible memory.

lyrics came up while he was singing. I never knew it was about the Vietnam war, serving and coming home.
Great song.
