I do love the amount of countries singing in other languages this year. There are 15 countries singing at least partly in a language other than English which is the highest since 2013.
Great reaction, thank you! I do think that the ending fits very well with the feeling of being bereft that she sings about. It makes us crave for more, which is just the feeling that the song describes. S10 has explained that the song is an ode to all the pain she went through when she had mental health issues. That pain was a constant companion & it was all she knew, so in this song she says goodbye to it as if to a beloved friend. It makes perfect sense to me that she sounds broken & unable to finish properly.
The most dark and depressed song/video combination, great work by director who made this poignant video did justice to the song. There are lot of symbols definition and meaning... S10➜the moth (her real tattoo), the boy➜the light (her ex-boyfriend who died in a motor accident), her affection like a moth to a flame. After fighting scence the boy riding off and the next scence there's a guy in front of him➜the boy is Ride with Death. The scence she's in the pool full of fallen leaves➜her heart like dead water, she throw away all the food from fridge➜sometimes people thinks leaving is the way to close to their lost and reaching for immortality love. I'm glad she's recovered from the past like the end of the video.....
The song isn't about the death of a boyfriend, that's just the story of the video. S10 has explained that the song is an ode to all the pain she went through when she had mental health issues. That pain was a constant companion & it was all she knew, so in this song she says goodbye to it.
The end is great, it’s pulling back in your own thoughts and just feel it…it gives you the feeling that it comes really from deep deep inside. But that’s my personal opinion based on just my feelings.
I think the Dutch song is magnificant and I really hope she wins because to me, it's the best song- Also, the Rotterdam eurovison, to me, was the best ever! I did wish the staging would be a bit less minimalistic, but I also understand that the song is about mentalhealth issues and the song is called "the depth" so I suppose the staging is part of that being in the dark depth. Love your reaction, very very real what you say...
I absolutely loved the end of the song because it feels like she has overcome something and you can feel that she feels lighter. She has let go of the thing that was holding her back and she is going to be okay. That was the vibe that I got. You can watch her live on the semi finals and again the real emotions she showed at the ending of the song was absolutely breath taking and even got me tearing up. Thank you for this review I loved to see your professional perspective!
I adored this song. Her voice is incredible. The problem last year were there were so many ballads that I think S10 and Ochman for Poland (who was my favourite, S10 was my #2) were lost in it. Their staging lacked so there wasn't the visual hook either. I still listen to both artists a year later which isn't like me with Eurovision in the past. Loved that it was in Dutch too.
Ooo thanks for revisiting this! You’re right in saying it was very ballad heavy last year (which wasn’t helped by Australia 🙄). Btw I’ve also seen your comments on my other videos! Thanks for checking them out too!
I think the ending is perfectly fitting for the song and its lyrics and i think being sad about not hearing the chorus one more time is the whole point .. Kinda leaves you sad and empty ... You can always listen to the song again though 😊
05:50 I think that time must’ve been an issue, I was already surprised that the song is 3:05 minutes . As far as I know the songs may not be longer than 3 minutes (but maybe the eorovusion tune and ending cards take a few seconds) It always makes me so happy to see somebody reacting positive to a Dutch entry and at the same time has good understanding about music Oh before I forget, Don’t know how you fixed it. But I’m so eternally grateful that you didn’t skip parts of the song and also used the perfect moments to give your comments And (of course) the quality of your audio is so good. People must know that if you want viewers to keep ‘watching ‘, the video quality is not the most important thing. If you’re audio is perfect than people keep ‘watching ‘ - ( level, noise suppression if needed and know-how about EBU rules, editing and microphones ) Now of course I don’t need to tell you this (that’s obvious 🏆) Very nice 👌 thank you ❤️ from Amsterdam
Personally I actually liked the pulled back ending. I think it fit the sort of sad vibe that the rest was going for (at least I think the lyrics have something sad to them from the little that I could understand from speaking German). I usually like explosive endings, but here it kind of fit I think. I can see how it’s doing good on the polls, it’s really catchy and sounds good. Just haven’t heard anything that blew me away this year yet. What’s your favorite so far? Anyways loved the video as always. I don’t really follow Eurovision but when is the voting / winner anncounced?
I agree about the ending. It fits very well with the feeling of being bereft that she sings about. It makes us crave for more, which is just the feeling that the song describes.
Thanks as always! I was definitely taken aback by the ending as I loved the chorus in its original form. But I can see how this works. The 3 minute time cap is pretty strict for Eurovision, and I had the same problem with Poland’s (spoiler alert 😆 ) which won’t be released until next week! Thanks as always!
Great analysis, love it! You're spot on, there was nothing in the song that was foreshadowing the pulling back in the final chorus, while usually such shifts in mood are at least a little bit signalled to fulfil that promise -> anticipation -> delivery. I did like it very much but I think your point stands that the abruptness takes away something from it. Did like hearing a song in my native language though, she's a pretty good vocalist although the lyrics could have been a bit more poetically worded here and there (tad too poppy for my taste in its current wording). Thanks once again for a great video
I agree that the song should have been longer. But that counts for many other ESC-entries over the years. Unfortunately hardly anybody makes a longer version on his / her album. Strange.
That's totally my assumption however I believe the abrupt ending is there for a reason, just like the last image on the mv where she releases her breath. I haven't checked the lyrics yet but I have read the song is about suicide and her struggles in her past. This is my personal winner although I am pretty sure much "easier" songs like Sweden or Spain will win this year. Honestly after my country (Italy) this is the only song I connected with immediately, evem not understanding a word of Dutch. One of things I like about Esc is when countries sing in their own language, I believe that's in the true spirit of Esc, and music has so much power, it can truly touch a soul like this song did to me for some reason. I am going to check the lyrics although to me this song represent a beautiul example of art.
I think the end should be like that Its the loveletter to the singer ( S10) her sadness. she suffers depresions till about when she was 17 and thats what the song is about. Its hard to be in teh deep while people around you cant feel what you feel. Thats what the song is about.
I don't agree with you about the ending part. Saying they put to much in 3 minutes seems a little disrespectful to me. The team did not rush anything. It was a well considered decision. And there are a lot of live versions available.
Thank you. I do understand. I did have the same issue with Poland (which I haven’t released yet). That being said, that’s just my perspective, and in the end, the composers and s10 are the experts here. I think my worry was I loved the chorus so much in its original form, that it didn’t live up to my expectations on the final chorus. It is an amazing song though, and I did look at this from a somewhat subjective lens here which I understand others may disagree with. These artists and musicians deserve the utmost respect, and I do apologise if my thoughts came across disrespectfully. I know these videos are attracting a wider audience to my channel, and you’ll see some (my regular viewers) are very understanding of some of these comments I make, but I know that new viewers may not be, which is fair enough. It’s tough because Eurovision has their strict 3 mins rule, which presents these challenges
Ok, finished now. This one I've heard a few times by now, so nothing new there, but I still like the sound. They get points from me for Dutch too, but as far as lyrics go I just don't connect with this song. So not a personal favourite, but interesting choice.
Her actual name is "Stien" (a more classical/old Dutch name). In Dutch "10" = "tien". Her full name is Stien den Hollander. Which more or less translates to "the Dutchman". Funny that I hear this entry here for the 1st time being 🇳🇱
Personally, I think the ending should have shifted tonality and notes. It does that to an extent but, as you say, it feels abrupt. Not being a composer (not by far) I don't know how to explain myself, but I feel the last chorus should have born enough traces of the previous ones as to make it recognisable, but it also should have changed enough to express the final emotions and add layers.
to be honest i feared you would be much more critical about the ladadada bridge and the quite simple melody. Sorry for that! thank you for your honest reaction and your professional assessment, always on point! ❤ yes, the ending could be better, but i enjoy this song just the way it is!
That’s ok! I think the ladada pre chorus worked really well here! This is a great piece and I’m in no way an authority on how they should have done things. This will be awesome live
The ending of the song is like the abrupt ending of the life of her lost-one like in the song.. So maybe not the best ending for the music but in a way the best ending for the emotional part..?
I like how you shake your head @4:42 At that moment she sings ‘jou niet laten gaan’, which translates to ‘not letting you go’. You probably didn’t understand the meaning linguistically, but you did understand it emotionally.
I love this song, touching heard. And i wanna ask if you will do review of Lithuania song " Sentimentai" Monika Liu Ir till be really intresting to hear it your professional apinion 😊
The music dies out on the end because of the story she s telling about her love story problems here in the depth i can t let you go but its not working out so a bit of sad and abrupt end where she only uses her voice for the last time. Its suits the lyrics in this song

It's a reaction... and pausing it will make the video educational and won't be copyright striked. Watch the music video if u don't want pauses...
I do love the amount of countries singing in other languages this year. There are 15 countries singing at least partly in a language other than English which is the highest since 2013.
Indeed it's beautiful when you don't understand a single word and just get the feeling of the song.
Love to hear people singing in their own language. It is the true spirit of Eurovision.
Great reaction, thank you! I do think that the ending fits very well with the feeling of being bereft that she sings about. It makes us crave for more, which is just the feeling that the song describes.

Love your take on the song, the ending however is perfect to me, she ends it small, vulnerable and it suits the lyrics and meaning of the song.

It's a great video, only the bit with the fridge feels shoehorned in.
The face with the candle reminds me of old master paintings.

S10, in Dutch 10 is pronounced as tien (ten), so nou we look at her real name, that is Stien, voila, S10.
All songs must be 3 minutes or less. rules
Sorry. You’re wrong. The best part of the song is the end when it is very small and breakable.
