You can travel around Europe without borders, but you can’t run from the grief of losing a parent. “I’m in Germany, but I’m so alone. I’m in Italy, but it still hurts”. It’s a sad song in disguise, it’s beautiful 🇳🇱
@@Zootsings And the song Papaoutai is also about Stomae growing up without his father, and missing him. I thought he died during the war in Rwanda( if I renember correctly), so the reference is not only very clever but also very real, deep and emotional. The lyrics of this song has so many layers. It's briljant! I speak Dutch and I listened to the song a couple of times and everytime I discovered new things in the lyrics. So I do hope they'll find a way to translate this on stage for the viewers( most of them) that don't speak Dutch.
As someone who's been part of the Hardcore/Gabber scene for nearly 20 years, it means A LOT to finally have some representation in Eurovision! Makes me feel like a teen again!
DAAROM THUNDERDOME IS 1 VAN DE GROOTSTE FESTIVALS VAN NEDERLAND EN IS EEN GROOT STUK VAN NEDERLAND EN DAN MAG HET MET ZO EEN GEWELDIG NUMMER NAAR EUROVISIE
This ! Who would have thought, back in the 90;s we would have dancing Gabbers at Eurovision song festival hahaha . The haters said it wouldnt last. in a few years its over. This isnt music ! and what not. Now you see DJ Paul in Eurovision song festival Video clip. LOL> we have come a long way.
Gabber is a style of clothes, hair and music. It's not Scottish btw, 100% invented in the Netherlands (in the 90's). The dance Gabber's do is called Hakkuh (kicking you legs on the beat) and music they listen and dance to is Hardcore and some Happy Hardcore. The song starts as Happy Hardcore and ends in (real) Hardcore (it's more rough and hard). Hope this gave you some info
Thank you guys for this amazing breakdown of the song. As the producer of this song, I’m so happy to hear all elements are being understood as intended. It’s a big pill to swallow; a lot of information and layers. We spent months on this song to make sure it would be packed in the right wrap. Thanks again and keep up the great videos! 💙
Perfect! I am almost certain this song will win, and more importantly, it's precisely the thing we all need at this tumultuous times. This was my analysis posted at the original entry ❤ This song can be interpreted on so many levels, it's pure brilliance. -On a personal level regarding the performer's background, him missing his parents and taking their lessons to heart. And making them proud by making his Eurovision dream happen ❤ -just like a party and the value of comradery, having fun and taking things not too seriously -poverty, transience and the struggle to maintain healthy. -mental health issues, he talks about running from himself and feeling alone and not feeling better even with the help of people (professionals?) he pays. Also got a vibe about this referencing immigrants and refugees and how we should be more compassionate. -and on a broader level about the pointlesness of polarisation, toxic politics&bureaucracy, paranoia, discrimination, agression and hostility we see in Europa and the world at the moment (and the last few years building up) when people have different opinions or think they have the right to take things from someone else no matter the consequences 😢 You know, all the things we are sick of as a collective. -and I'm sure there are even more levels to this I didn't even picked up on yet!
Thank you to our neighbors in the Netherlands for sending us a little of their madness and a little of their humor, this song represents your country so well. Thank you also for the message of unity towards all the countries of Europe . We are so different and yet all the same. Cheers from Belgium.
The picture can mean him leaving behind the pain of his past, and finally fulfilling his promise towards his fater, to one day go on Eurovision. The word 'grenzen' besides 'borders' can also mean 'limitations'.
The ending had me almost crying, But it's not only the ending that makes it a masterpiece., All the lyrics in this song are briliant, the way he plays with the words and the many layers. If you only hear the music you might think it's a wel made Joke entry, but when you listen to the lyrics a couple of times you discover more and more. So I do hope they'll find a way to translate his fine paece of poetry on stage, so the viewers of Eurovision get at least a part of the message.
My heart is crying...😢 a rollercoaster of emotions.... I would love for Joost to win eurovision. Because then he knows how much Europe supports him. And that he is not alone. He is a inspiration to all of us. ❤ proud of our entry this year 😊😊
@@blee1997 also the dutch language, and the happy hardcore in the song makes it a good song to represent our country. Its the whole story and the song! The happy hardcore brings a lot of good memory back from the 90s. When i was a child. Love him for this!
The hard part at the end of the song, called Gabber house and it was invented in the Netherlands and where big party’s in the 90ties. Hardcore never dies. And with the borders, don’t let the borders stop you who you want to be as a person where you want to go, and grow as a person
lol omg every comment hahaha. SO you're definitely right he is doing the Dutch gabber. But this sound is also popular in Scotland. For instance, the "bouncy techno" wikipedia states: "The sound became prominent in the northern United Kingdom rave scene before it broke into the hardcore homeland of the Netherlands through Dutch DJ and music producer Paul Elstak..."
Scottish gabba? In my opinion it is a reference to the dutch world hit: No limits from 2 Unlimited back in the nineties. No limits is also the message of the song.
It's gabber (dutch for friend, but also an entire subculture that was insanely popular in the 90''s) two unlimited? More like DJ Paul Elstak, who practicly ruled the Netherlands gabber scene in the 90's.
I lost my father young as well, he too was an internationalist and imbued that in me, and I love Europe. I have never voted in Eurovision, but I will be voting for this with every vote I've got.
That instrumental is called Gabberhouse/Happy Hardcore. It was MASSIVE in the 90s in The Netherlands. I LOVE IT. Joost is very popular in multiple European countries. Prepare for a massive party on that stage in Malmö Top 5, easily
This made me feel so proud to be part of our European family! Thanks to Netherland we get a moment to celebrate this amazing union that we have. We have created something so unique and beautiful that it is worth celebrating and worth defending in the future. Netherland will do amazing this year ❤❤❤
Hij loopt wel met de Europese vlag te zwaaien, maar ik vind de video vooral heel Nederlands eigenlijk… Rotterdamse gabber, molens, polderlandschap, scootmobielen, New Kids (jonguh!) en een zootje bekende Nederlanders zoals René Froger, Donnie, S10, Emma Wortelboer en Paul Elstak.
Dutchie here that doesn't like this typically Dutch happy hardcore at all, but as you say William, there is this layer of nostalgia and sadness which gives this something that draws my attention. I don't think that I'll ever really love it, but it's a good thing that we're showing a different side of the Netherlands.
Right now the song is not a favorite by the bookmakers… I really think it Will do well! Especially with televote!! And also his fanbase is HUGE!!! Especially on TikTok and also his MV almost hits the 1m views within 4 hours!! JOOST KLEIN, DROOM GROOT ❤
Do you remember the Netherlands 2014? We were 24th at the bookmakers and eventually became 2nd in the grand final. At the televotes he’s going to do it AMAZING, I’m sure 🕺🎉
Strangely this is the only song this year that I liked on first listen. Perhaps because I also lost my father as a child, or because it kind of reminds me of the 90s my favourite era I don't know. Not sure how this will end up in May but can't wait to see it on stage.
The way you pronounce Joost when you corrected yourself is spot on! In English your brain just automatically reads his name as te double oo in good, but is just like the o in ‘yo, dude’. Exactly how you pronounced it in the end. 😍🥰
Thank you for youre reaction. Im a Dutchy and normaley I dont like this sort of acts at the Eurovision, but this one!!!!!! Crazy!!!! I Love it. One note......Gabbers are NOT Scottisch but 100% Dutch!!
It’s fun and up beat, but in it’s core it’s a sad song about him missing his parents. Who died when he was very young. His dad thought him there are no borders. And while watching eurosong with them he told them he would preform there one time. They died when he was 12 and that’s why he dedicated this song to them.
Oh I’m feeling it. My apologies to everyone. It’s just that I’m used to hearing bouncy techno from Scotland and in a first reaction video one doesn’t always have time to access the right language 😭
Wow, I'm very impressed by both analyses! ❤ Deban, you are so eloquent and share these very clever connections. Then William comes in with a very clear, more practical perspective. You guys complement each other so well! Thanks guys!
I love it and the message of the song. I think he is going to get a lot of points from Germany if he makes it to the final. I'm rooting for him 🇩🇪❤🇳🇱 🇪🇺
They are very much related. For instance, the "bouncy techno" wikipedia states: "The sound became prominent in the northern United Kingdom rave scene before it broke into the hardcore homeland of the Netherlands through Dutch DJ and music producer Paul Elstak..."
The burning house symbolises the closing of a (difficult) era. Joost has said in an interview you have to close a door to open a new one. Papa in Dutch means daddy. So it is actualy Eurodady.
At first I was disappointed that it mostly seemed to focus on superficial advantages of being part of the Schengen Area. However there are a few lyrical gems in between that relate better to the final part, which seemed too distant from the first three minutes. Finding happiness anywhere even though you carry great sadness within yourself is a great theme, and I assume the stage show will (have to) stress it. Good luck to Joost! Droom Groot❤
I often had doubts on dutch entrees and mostly i was right. But this year, Come on this is pure genius. Its almost a European anthem, its fun listening, its easy listening, its catchy and its authentic. It has marketing all over the place en it uses compleet New music styles in esc. Which is good for atracting youth at esc. With rap and hardstyle or happy hardcore refering to the 90. So you get the older generation too.
Hey people’s, I’m a Dutchie that hates gabber or hardcore music. but after listening a few times again. I become totally obsessed with this music. My advice for people who don't like this music is to give them some more time and listen again. the reason why this music is going big and (big chance) winning this ESC 2024. 1. in a short time there are so many views. no one in history has managed to get views in such a short time. This song would definitely be top 1 on Televote. 2. there is a big ART, meaning and story inside of this music with a lot of emotion. but most people don't know, their dont give a sh***t. 3. the chorus is constantly stuck in your head. But this brings pleasure, joy and sadness. Like you're on a roller coaster 4. this music is easy to sing. 5. who doesn't like cheerful music. 6. The vibes is amazing, in addition very Getchy. 7. Joost klein is amazing singer, he has many fans in several European countries. So ‘ EUROPAPA’ for the win! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
As a young teenager he lost both his parents within a year of each other. This song is specifically directed towards his father but that's why it says "to: my parents" at the end. The fire at the end is about him leaving behind his pain of their loss. And yes "gabber" music is Dutch originally 🙂
In my opinion The Netherlands can definitely qualify and is in the top 10 of the second semifinal. I know everyone has different tastes but i can’t imagine Netherlands won’t qualify! It might grow on people later when the second semi final comes around!
My Scottish friend often talks about Scottish gabber. Many people in the U.K. think the "bouncy rave" sound originated in the U.K. before being popularised in the Netherlands. I only know this now after reading the Wikipedia entry lol. But I will never say the term again!
Yayy I finally found your reaction. Europapa is rising on the list and 7 million views within a week, is pretty impressive. I am very proud of Joost and the team around him. This song is a party and also room for reflection. 🧡🇳🇱😁
Congrats to joost klein and this is a new song and and it might be a catchy pop Ballard song and it’s a party disco hit and good luck to joost klein and it’s a party boogie borpa and party boogie vibes and I think it might be a dance hit from Geoff England
this is touchy, beautiful, gives hope and inspires.... what a short masterpiece , this takes me on a journey and debats a bit the situation we are living in Europe.... 🧡💚💓💙💜🤎 great choice netherlands - well done❣ this is what Eurovision is all about...and has always been - a great song to celebrate Eurovision - generally I d start the song with the burning ending... that d be more effective to bring the messagee
As a dutch person i say it's really a nice song and it is very very dutch so i like that. I think i like the most the fact that the Netherlands did not do anything like this before and i think it is about time that we do something real different but also something that just screams dutch/holland/the Netherlands. But still i am a bit scared that eurovision voter will not understand this kind of music and apreciate joost his music at this point. I still believe it is way beter than keeping the ballads and country music. For now i just hope that there are enouch open minded people who can appreciate and love this song because its just a perfect cultural piece of our country. Joost klein! Petje af man! Alle vertrouwen in jou, gewoon wat minder vertrouwen in de stemmers.😅 EUROPAPA! JOOST KLEIN! 12 POINTS TO THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!!!!🎉❤😅🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱😅❤🎉
You can travel around Europe without borders, but you can’t run from the grief of losing a parent. “I’m in Germany, but I’m so alone. I’m in Italy, but it still hurts”. It’s a sad song in disguise, it’s beautiful 🇳🇱
There should be borders
The reference to papaoutai is very clever because papaoutai means where are you dad
I think it's also meant as respectful to Stromae, another authentic European soul and musician
Dank, ik wist dat niet.
@@Zootsings And the song Papaoutai is also about Stomae growing up without his father, and missing him. I thought he died during the war in Rwanda( if I renember correctly), so the reference is not only very clever but also very real, deep and emotional. The lyrics of this song has so many layers.

This has potential to go viral before Eurovision 🎉😊
its already doing so omg 5 million views on the ESC channel within 48 hours???
Now 10 Million plus!
The picture can mean him leaving behind the pain of his past, and finally fulfilling his promise towards his fater, to one day go on Eurovision.
The word 'grenzen' besides 'borders' can also mean 'limitations'.
The ending makes this a masterpiece in it's genre.
He'll have the whole audience crying by the end, just like Lowlands 🥺❤️.

This is a banger song but with a deep message. I'm loving it. 12 points for you Joost ❤

Came to type this as well :) Their review was spot on
Scotisch gabba...never of that one 😂

Scottish gabba? In my opinion it is a reference to the dutch world hit: No limits from 2 Unlimited back in the nineties. No limits is also the message of the song.
Ha ha. For me gabba is the most dutch thing since stroopwafel! I also thought of ‘No limits’ right away!
It's gabber (dutch for friend, but also an entire subculture that was insanely popular in the 90''s) two unlimited? More like DJ Paul Elstak, who practicly ruled the Netherlands gabber scene in the 90's.
Exactly! Happy to see some one got the same reference. That hitvwas very popular in the 90s in The Netherlands. There are many layers to this song.

It's not scottish it's Dutch Gabber music. Or Hardcore/Happy hardcore ..... This music is from the Netherlands.
The burning house symbolises the closing of a (difficult) era. Joost has said in an interview you have to close a door to open a new one. Papa in Dutch means daddy. So it is actualy Eurodady.

The winner is arrived 👌👌

it is not scottish gabber .. the gabber scene was invented in the netherlands it is dutch gabber !!!!!
I think you are the first one (of the reactions online) who really get's it what the song is about. Great explanation.
You're a little bit misinformed about 'scottish' gabber, because that is 100% 90's dutch. But for the rest, your review is spot on. Respect!

As a young teenager he lost both his parents within a year of each other. This song is specifically directed towards his father but that's why it says "to: my parents" at the end. The fire at the end is about him leaving behind his pain of their loss. And yes "gabber" music is Dutch originally 🙂
I am curious about the staging and the live act. If its done well. I think he will win. We keep our fingers crossed!❤
Massiel (1968) holds the record for using the word la, la, la etc in Eurovision. Joost sets a new record for the word pa , pa , pa !!!!
When I got a Baby his name will be Joost ❤
In my opinion The Netherlands can definitely qualify and is in the top 10 of the second semifinal. I know everyone has different tastes but i can’t imagine Netherlands won’t qualify!
It might grow on people later when the second semi final comes around!
12 Points to The Netherlands
btw scottisch gabber? gabbers coming original from The Netherlands
My Scottish friend often talks about Scottish gabber. Many people in the U.K. think the "bouncy rave" sound originated in the U.K. before being popularised in the Netherlands. I only know this now after reading the Wikipedia entry lol. But I will never say the term again!
@@Wiwibloggs Netherlands brought the sound late 80's early 90's lol
What he meant is that borders are made by humans. The borders are not really there if humans didn´t made them in Europe for example.
the transition from the ‘happy’ and up-tempo music to the outro hits really hard
Yayy I finally found your reaction. Europapa is rising on the list and 7 million views within a week, is pretty impressive. I am very proud of Joost and the team around him. This song is a party and also room for reflection. 🧡🇳🇱😁
I didn't expect to love this, but here we all are
scottish gabber ? 😢🙄 'gabber' is a dutch word. it's slang for friend
Congrats to joost klein and this is a new song and and it might be a catchy pop Ballard song and it’s a party disco hit and good luck to joost klein and it’s a party boogie borpa and party boogie vibes and I think it might be a dance hit from Geoff England
Uhmmmmmmmm "Scottish" Gabber?
Maybe the fact that it's a Dutch song gives a clue to where Gabber actually came from.
Thanks for watching the winner of eurovision 2024 🎉
I hope not !
@@steffvalmont6828 prepare yourself 🙏🏻
this is touchy, beautiful, gives hope and inspires.... what a short masterpiece , this takes me on a journey and debats a bit the situation we are living in Europe.... 🧡💚💓💙💜🤎 great choice netherlands - well done❣ this is what Eurovision is all about...and has always been - a great song to celebrate Eurovision - generally I d start the song with the burning ending... that d be more effective to bring the messagee
Its soooo nice! The netherlands!!❤
This is everything I do not like in a song but it's ticking in your head, I'll give you that.
The rave sound is called hardcore and this is music out of the 90s
Never thought this type of song could make me cry😢 i love it❤
As a dutch person i say it's really a nice song and it is very very dutch so i like that.
I think i like the most the fact that the Netherlands did not do anything like this before and i think it is about time that we do something real different but also something that just screams dutch/holland/the Netherlands.
But still i am a bit scared that eurovision voter will not understand this kind of music and apreciate joost his music at this point.
I still believe it is way beter than keeping the ballads and country music.
For now i just hope that there are enouch open minded people who can appreciate and love this song because its just a perfect cultural piece of our country.
Joost klein! Petje af man! Alle vertrouwen in jou, gewoon wat minder vertrouwen in de stemmers.😅
EUROPAPA! JOOST KLEIN! 12 POINTS TO THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!!!!🎉❤😅🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱😅❤🎉
