The story behind the song

Johan is a Dutch indie rock band from Hoorn, North Holland, with lead singer and guitarist Jacco de Greeuw as the only consistent member through a rotating lineup. The band, originally named Visions of Johanna after a Bob Dylan song, shortened their name to Johan in 1996, referencing footballer Johan Cruyff. They signed with Excelsior Recordings in 1995 and released their self-titled debut album, which was well-received by Dutch critics.
