Never witnessed a man get something so wrong and sound so confident about it
This song is totally not political. Far from it.
Your stupid , it is
It’s ok to be ignorant, but it’s silly to broadcast it on RUclips….
This song is NOT political😑🙄
This song is an ode to his parents (he lost both of them within a year when he was 12/13 years old) and an ode to the 90s when our country created the genre Happy Hardcore. You can't go more Dutch than that.
It's ok if you don't like it, but you could've been a bit more respectful.
Wow.. you have no idea what you are talking about.
Your stupid too
Picture this: Little boy. Father died… few months later mother died… he is coping via music bruh 🤦🏻 this is REALLY a song about loss and moving on.
Joost said it himself. You love or hate it. That is the best art. We sent modern stuff for years. Europapa is out there and very 90’s but not dated and never done yet. This is dutch culture and NOT political, therefore not disqualified. Dutchies are protective of Joost bc of his story. Joost already won with making such a viral impact with his song.
Well said👍
What the heck are you smoking to hate on a song like this? This is not political at all. Sending Happy hardcore is the best move ever in Eurovision cause it has never been seen before.
12 points to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Pure Art ❤
Drink another bottle of vinegar.
How ironic that an Israeli is talking about banning the NL... 😅
😂😂
@@letheas6175 You mean freedom for Hamas A political stand-point joining the current hype of anti-Israeli
movements in the West is shamefull.
Not being informed (or mostly one-sided) by facts and history.
How ironic that a contest that is supposed to be apolitical was turned into a battleground for petty political reasons.
@@conny53 ahaha, this guy is such a clown
@@yairmohr there is nothing political about the song....
People that are very political minded see politics in everything 😂😂 This is called art, it’s about all kind of emotions, most people feel them.
Exactly
You have no idea, do you?

Is not political,
the song is about his journey with his deceased father throughout Europe.
U must be disqualified!!
Do your homework,before you react
You are discrminate dutch culture.
This type of music including the dance( hakken) is founded in the netherlands in the 90s,so it's a culture thing
Discriminating? That's one of most ridiculous things that have ever been said about me.
@@yairmohr you're welcome
@@yairmohryou just said the most ridiculous things about the Dutch entry. So snap out of it.
@@yairmohr I am not sure "discriminating" is the right word. But after watching this video and the one you made about the Italian entry I've got the feeling you hardly understand how most Europeans tick. And how could you? You do not live in Europe after all.
Actually this music style was created in the Netherlands and is one of the biggest export products of the country. So an ode is totally appropriate.
Here’s a fun fact about the gabber culture that is finally getting it’s recognition in a main stream cheasy festival such as Eurovision.
The culture was rooted in multicultural youth in Rotterdam finding a way to expres themself. ‘Gabber’ as you should know means ‘friend’ referring to the unification of community.
However the sun culture was looked upon with arrogance for years by folks well, kind of with an attitude as yourself. But it never stopped them from creating their own sound, which thanks to Paul Elstak (in the video who you missed) founder of the Happy hardcore style that made this sun culture acceptable for the ignorant.
Joost is giving the same message: don’t look down on others, don’t be ignorant, at the end of the day we are all humans in search of the same.
And the gabber culture is redeemed by having a place on the Eurovision stage and we salute it. This is the typical sound of the rise of Europe, and you may be over it. But if I understand correctly you’re not European so this message may not be for you.
My message for you though: get your head out of your own ass and try to be open to new experiences, you’re projecting a vey negative attitude about your personal frustration around political issues the Dutch entry is no part of.
If you think having a place in Eurovision "redeems" a culture - you're the ignorant one.
@@yairmohr Why the fuck would we need redeeming? Are you slow? Why are you projecting so much? I would hate it too if my country was waging an unjust war, killing more civilians than in the last so many wars, and is now.. the laughing stock of the world. But I can assure you, I would never be saying stuff like ''redeeming'' to others, if again- my country was in that state. Be better, and be ashamed, damn.
@@yairmohr no. It’s actually my profession. This is absolutely social acknowledgment for a sub culture that represented the emancipation of (multi cultural) youth in 90’s yet was suppressed and devaluated. The National and open acknowledgment of the most influential modern day sun culture took long enough. From cultural historical perspective this is a very interesting theme of influence in the perception of generation X and being researched in regards to how this subconsciously played a role in societal attitude and value shaping of this generation in the Netherlands.
You may not understand, observe or think about that, yet that doesn’t make sociology ignorant.
@@NinaHassan-in1io none of this mumbo jumbo is anywhere close to addressing my point - which is typical coming from someone who studied sociology but can't even understand simple sentences.
@@yairmohr I actually studied clinical psychology and I could tell you a few things about how you’re making your pints but you would probably respond in the same manner as you seem to do towards anyone who is responding with assertiveness. It’s quite infantile tbh.
It’s totally not a political song. It is a personal song. His parents died when he was 12/13 years old and this is about his journey through life. This was dedicated to his dad ( = papa in Dutch)
He is from Israel, he is just playing the victim as always..
There is nothing political in this song, only a liar or a twisted mind would say otherwise.
"A liar or a twisted mind" is exactly what it takes to make a song reaction about my nationality.
@@yairmohr yeah keep play the victim, we are use to that "weeeehh Ebu wanted to ban Israel but didn't ban Netherland cause it talked about unity of Europe! weeeeeehh". You are a clown bro and you shouldn't be in Eurovision cause you just don't get it.."uniting Europe" is the main reason of Eurovision existence in first place .
@@yairmohrawwww poor baby, you don't like the fact we don't like you? Just to be clear, you were making fun of OUR country first, calling us holland "or whatever it is called", making very very dumb assumptions. Afcourse you are going to get it right back! Grow a pair or don't do dumb videos like these
@@yairmohr There it is, the anti-semitism card. Instead of reacting to @Benfilms and acknowledge your mistake, you react to a reaction that offends you. Not a very bright move.
LOVE THIS SONG ❤️🇳🇱🇳🇱
As happy as this song sounds, it's a sad song.
Actually, he describes his life in a few minutes;
In the first verse, he talks about losing everything. An important part is the death of his parents when he was 12/13 years old.
In the second verse, he talks about how alone and lonely he is. He also says that he needed help because of depression and being homeless and apparently insufficiently helped I don't understand the reference to stromai (bad in french).
The leonardi da vinci (The Last Supper) scene may refer to one of his songs in which he sings that he is god.
If I remember correctly, his father once told him that he should keep writing poetry.
The house with the mill is the place in which he grew up (with all the shit) and possibly burning it down, taking a new step into a new world without borders in which he can do whatever he wants
I think you are doing this video for attention and for the views! You have done no research at all of the song from The Netherlands.
Go read my previous comments for idiots like you who haven't watched a reaction video in their miserable lives...
@@yairmohr Calling your viewers idiots and their lives miserable is not only pathetic, but, I do have to admit.. partially true.. I did feel miserable after seeing your video, and it's not your looks or anything (although that might add to it, hey see I can be a dick too- you get what you give but worse, you know that IDF tactic?) but it's your absolute disgusting behaviour to other people. You are such a rude and ignorant person, I might confuse you with a seppo.
@@yairmohr youtubers acting like this and not taking actual criticism will always stay small
@@yairmohr Hoe petty you are. You are making an utter fool of yoursellf. So my advice is to you is stop beeing rude and just admit you are wrong. You can thank me later ✌🏽
@@yairmohr Calling everyone who doesnt agree with you an idiot doesnt help, it makes you look pathetic. Just read the comments, no one agrees with you. It is just not a political song and you just made a fool of yourself by posting this reaction.
If you want to talk politics, you should criticize your own country for bombing innocent people (including children) in Gaza, instead of just getting back at Hamas, you whipe out the whole population, that is just genocide! That is why Israel should be banned from Eurovision!
Netherlands has the Efteling Park, among the oldest theme parks that are still open for the public. It received the American applause award by the IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions).
You should just turn on the subtitles, you have no idea what you’re talking about !
He did, we can see they were on
He did, but he's so busy with himself that the meaning of the song doesn't reach his brain. He can't keep his mouth shut and just rambles on and on. Completely ignorant. Just like a child yelping and covering his ears.
It says alot that you have more comments than likes
I think it says more about the commenters.
@@yairmohr Yes- it's always the fault of the others! It can't be that you are wrong, god (or Yahweh) forbid- you are wrong. That can't be? How can that be!
@@yairmohrif you keep going like this, you won't have a yt channel soon enough
@@yairmohrYup it shows that we can form an opinion that is shallow and has some context supporting it.
You make me fall asleep when you talk. You have a scary smile.
Maybe next time try to find out what this song is really about? Political? Far from it! It is very personal.
He had the subtitles on, so he obviously cannot read very well...aiaiai. he is meshuggah
@@saskiapanter🤣 The subtitles aren't as accurate as the native language, but his reaction is not kosher....
You are not well informed
We explained over and over this is not a politic song
I wonder what is your intention
Who's "we" and when did you explain it "over and over again"?
@@yairmohr the Dutch fans
We explained it underneath every video of Joost
@@yairmohr almost the entire comment section...
@@yairmohrdo you have any idea how intensely DUMB you sound. I advise you....stop talking, stop responding
"The real scoop (at the end of video) is that Joost Klein's tune isn't about geopolitical fires-it's about the blaze of his own memories, scorched by the loss of his parents at a young age. He's just globetrotting through Europe to douse those fiery thoughts. Simple as pie!"
I like how different Europeans call it 20 year old music while we Dutchies call it 30 years old 🤘
I made a 15 euro donation in your name, for a Palestine organisation helping people in need. This way, at least your name will be connected to something good!
Brilliant...
You are pretty anti-Semitic....please stop spreading it!
Love you for this
Lol
Touched, brilliant 👍
Late to the party and totally misinformed… 😂 good for you to have totally relatable opinion❤
As much as Israel isn't in Europa, Europa is NOT the EU...
New level of idiocy from an israeli fan is reached. Here we have an israeli talking about "europapa" as a political song, yet his own country is sending the absolutely most political song this year, a song that got rejected 3 times by EBU and just did some small changes to get accepted. The political message is still there, the writers have said it outload. And, Eden's dress just got banned and cant't be used on Eurovision cause it was too political. So no, you have no right to critisise this song for being political, when your own country is the defintion of a political entry, the record of most rejects. I dont know if i should laugh or cry.
It is not political at all
Read the comments, 😮 wt.... open your mind . This is far from politic. His father died when he was 12, mother 13. His dad worked with regugees. People running from war , because human made borders. We are all human, . We should love and care , all people need to be free, so no war ! He wants to connects the people . And that all in a happy song, in pain. You are so wrong. The union, brexit??? He hates politics 😢
Sorry, but i am from Leeuwarden, Friesland, his hometown, we know him as unicorn Joost. 8 years ago,and i dont like all his songs, but Wachtmuziek, Florida 2009 are about the pain . He is so humble when not on stage. This was a letter to his dad. And he is all over social media. You did not even did any recherche. How did you miss all that info the last weeks. Prepare and then watch , then comment . Its oké you do not like the song, but how and where in the lyrics do you hear that, ?.... he is in pain , alone. And the end. The burning is his past. And you say. Union and even brexit? This is the worst comment video so far.
I love all you people who expect me to somehow turn the whole concept of reaction videos on its head. Go research what the common rules are for this type of video before you comment to yourself again in an even more idiotic manner.
@@yairmohr Number one common rule for reacting to music video's is being respectfull. Please learn how to do so before you upload any more video's. Insulting the people that comment on your video will mean your channel won't last long.
@@TheSeNaBi Being respectful doesn't mean having to lie. As for not insulting commenters, here I agree I can do better. I just tend to escalate when faced with annoying comments.
@@yairmohr Doesn't mean having to lie, no it does'nt, what's your point? By annoying you mean comments you don't like I supose? You do realize (I hope) that if you had not said the song is political (witch it is not) and saying it should have been disqualified, you brought this on yourself
Shalom Yair. The song is all but political. It is an ode to his parents. They used to watch the Eurovision together and he told his father he would, one day, be on that stage. His father died when he was 12 years old and a year after that he lost his mother. The fact that he uses the so called Happy Hardcore (typical music style from the Netherlands) is a great way yo shake up things. It has never been done in this way at the Eurovision. That you can't appreciate it is ok, it's always been a question of taste. But you might have done some more research into the Why of the song (and not put it away as being something political). ערב טוב. שמור על עצמך
There's only one name: The Netherlands. Thank you and good luck.
Amusing to see that you have a complete misinterpretation... You don't understand it at all
Before you say anything negative about others, their music, their style and how simple it is, try to sync your reaction subtitles first, before you judge others, Ali Express cheap fake version of Moby 🤣
Oh, wow, being compared to such a legendary musician is one of the greatest compliments I ever got. Thank you ❤️
@@yairmohr oke now I like you too ❤️
All Points to Joost klein Nederlands
Nooo I do not agree, let's give Israel a point for every time they tried to prevent genocide in Gaza. OH WAIT
Me when I have 0 braincells left and don't know wtf I'm yapping about
You don't understand, but that's ok! 😄 Good luck!
Oh man you are so wrong about this being a political statement.
The Israël entry is just a Political Song …….October Rain ………….. is now Hurricane
It's not political, and never was. There's a VERY BIG difference between songs ABOUT political events and songs with political MESSAGES.
@@yairmohr man, if you still think Europapa has a political meaning, then your straight up ignorant. So many people in the comments telling you what it is really about, and you just don't want to listen and still want to throw this bigotry. And then claiming that the one from Israel is not political!
@@yairmohrOctober Rain was a very political song, the Hurricane song is the same song …….
"before the European Union became this wild thing that is is today" ???
Everything nice and calm here!
Not like in ..
I'm sure the German girls being mass-raped in Köln; The Christmas shoppers being run over in Berlin; The Jewish women and children being slaughtered in France; Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who had to flee The Netherlands and become a refugee for the 2nd time in the age of 36 because of terrorist threats and her European neighbors blaiming her for the mess they created; And so many others disagree with you about the "nice and calm" part.
@@yairmohr Great fallacy, I can really notice your country is influenced by the US, because this just feels like the group @What in the American education system is going on here? So you are comparing certain instances of bad events, that could (and do happen) anywhere in the world at random moments (actually most EU countries rank in the top regarding safety, so it still happens less here)with.. actual issues? Like, what @R.Houtkoop is referring too? Yeah no, totally fair comparison. Hey get back with us with some real arguments whenever we start slaughtering innocent people and introduce apartheid.
@@yairmohr That you have to go back so many years just to name a few big incidents says it all. Europe is still the calmest continent on the planet. Except for Russia trying to destroy and kill Ukranians!
Joost is not talking about taking over someone elses country to create a new country and chase away the original habitants and then commit genocide against them. Now that would have been political, oh wait that is……… Israel!
@@yairmohr bla bla bla.. ur so ignorant! 😂
@yairmohr are we allowed to speak in the same disparaging way about your country? No. So why do you feel entitled to speak that way about us and think you can get away with it? All the things you mentioned are true, but you do not eve dedicate a thought to the good points of the EU, a minor one bring that we have learnt to solve our contrasts peacefully. Have a nice, peaceful day.
U didn't know the meaning of the song 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Do you know the meaning of all the other songs?
@@scsc33 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@scsc33 Great fallacy! @tahitivivivi9428 isn't complaining about those songs here, lol.
@@letheas6175 why are u obsessed with me ?😏
@@tahitivivi9428 Because you are so extremely sexy! I find borderline crazy opinions and appearances, extremely hot. What else could it be? It couldn't be that I found a goldmine of absolute degeneracy, and I'm all in for seeing bullies like you get taken down. PS: Yes you are bullying some of your viewers by calling them names just because they criticize you, be better. Grow a thicker skin you lol. It's like, you don't understand what.. defending versus attacking is, but it kind of checks out.
How does it feel to be so clueless ? Hmm ?
It's about his father (who died to cancer when he was 12) and mother (who died a year later to a cardiac arrest).
His father (papa) told him to write and perform and see the world (Europe) because there are no borders accept for the human made borders...
So after his parent's died he went to travel and see Europe, that's why he mentions the countries he mentions in the song.
He mentions Stromae (Paul Van Haver) because the song Papaoutai is about living your life without a pappa.
Joost acknowledges the bravery of Stromae to sing about this ( "dat doet ie goed ey !" )
The pretty house with the windmill you see burning at the end is the representation of the end of that part of his life.
Half of his life he tried to cope with the loss of his parents, he feels it's time to move on and start anew.
So, how about the song now ?
THANKS FOR SUPORTING JOOST KLEIN NEDERLANDSE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bookmakers nr 4
Make a new video after he has won amigo!!
There is no grain political in the song he sing about his grief and he travels all around europe and cant find a place to stop griefing about his parents. This music reminds dutchies and other people of the olden days and for the netherlands this is a really big gamble to send in because normally we send in some piece thats either uberpopy and not at all intresting we had some gambles with piano like dunkan a few years ago i think we gotten a good person to represent the netherlands. but music is objective art some might not like it like you. But the views show many people like it a lot.
How dare you say this should be disqualified, what gives you the right. Israel should be disqualified for the actions in Gaza. Joost Klein's song is anything but political, and is about respect and living together on this earth.
If Israel should be disqualified for what's happening in Gaza, why wasn't Russia disqualified for the war against Georgia in 2008 (not only weren't they disqualified - they hosted the contest the following year, and Georgia was kicked out!) or for invading Crimea in 2014?
Why wasn't the UK and France disqualified for bombign over 6,000 "military targets" (i.e units - to well over 10,000 people) in Lybia in 2011?
Why wasn't Azerbaijan disqualified for the attack on Nagorno Karabakg?
Why wasn't Turkey disqualified for killing THOUSANDS of Kurds in the last 20 years, and even more Syrian refugees from 2011 to 2014, when they withdrew of their own accord?
@@yairmohr stupid answer!
@@yairmohrnot only are you completely wrong and ignorant about the meaning of the song, but let’s just not start an argument about who should or should not be banned, since that might become a slightly unpleasant topic.
@@yairmohr Israel should be banned from the Eurovision because it's a country in the Middle East and no longer a British colony.
What are you talking about ?
You did not even follow the subtitles did you ?
How is the father and young son poltical ? His father told him there are no boundaries.
Time for Israel to part. Let them have a song contest with their neighbouring countries that are hosting them ...
Yeah let them have a contest with all of their friends *The US Joins ''SadFriendshipParty''. That'll get them views, lol
Lijkt op jou 😢dat mocht je willen ! Domste wezen wat te bekijken is !!!
Deze guy is echt een absoluut racistgekkie, het zal mij niet verbazen als hij tegen Palestina is.
For all the Dutch friends: this guy speaks about songs not knowing anything about them. He did exactly the same with the Italian entry. Also he kept contradicting himself in the comments when a lot of people pointed out that he was obviously being biased against Italy saying that he had basically not liked one single entry from Italy. And he plays the expert, too. Very political? What does he know about Europe? Nothing! After all he does not live in Europe ... how could he know what is considered political in Europe? And I am saying this as someone who does not particularly like this song, but would never claim something as disparaging, ignorant and simply false in such a confident way.
You should probably hear it more often. I didn't like it at all the first time but after the second or third day I couldn't get it out of my head. I have seen like about a hundred positive and enthousiastic RUclips reactions to this song and you are probably the only one who doesn't get it. It's much more profound than you would think; it's Joosts journey to let go of the loss of both his parents as a child. Hence the burning building in the end. It represents closure. And last but not least: it takes guts to send in a song that a lot of young people (who might vote) these days may not understand (because they never lived in the nineties) but we did it anyway. No run of the mill Swedish pre-fabricated year-in year out same old drivel (with a few exceptions of course) but a song that will surprise many. And of course there are the bookmakers. Over the past decade they were almost never wrong, maybe by a few places up or down, and Joost Klein is at this moment placed number 3. So inform yourself before giving your judgment.
Well, this didnt age well
On the contrary...
the lyrics are about his life: welcome to europe, I stay here till i die . europapa (2x) visit my friends in france , or take a walk to vienna. i want to leave netherlands but my passport is gone. Luckily i don't need a visa to be with you. i take the bus to poland or the train to berlin. I don't have money for paris . do you have 1 euro please say merci and please ( he was homeless for sometime after his parents died) I lost everything , except time. so i travel everyday. the world is mine Welcome to europe, I stay here till i die . europapa (2x) europapa papa etc.. I am in germany, but so alone. I sleep in italy but it still hurts. i run away from myself. i cry for help whole day. I even pay money, but there is no one who helps ( he had therapy to process the loss of his parents) I don't need escargot,(french snails) i don't need fish and chips. i don't need paella, i don't even know what that is. I put on the radio and hear stromae with papaoutai (belgian/ruandian artist who lost his farther in the 1994 genocide ) i won't stop until they say , " yeah he does that right" welcome to europe, I stay here till i die . europapa (2x) europapa papapapapapapapapapa. . in the end of the day we are all human. my father once told me " it is a world without borders ". "I miss you every day" . that is what i silently whisper. do you see now, daddy? I have listened to you
You bothered to write down all of this, including explanations for some key parts, and STILL don't see how this is EXACTLY the story of the Syrian/Lybian/Tunisian/Algerian/Egyptian/Sudanese refugees who came to Europe in the previous decade? Then you're the one who deosn't understand art.
@@yairmohrbro, you have nothing to offer to the world. Sour Israeli
@@yairmohr You cannot diminish a person's grief by comparing it to the (greater) grief of others. Every individual has the right to their own sorrow and process of grieving, even if there are others with even greater sorrow.
From a nation that is wrong about everything in life, a comment like his was expected…
Sodium has been done many times as well. People still like it.
I LOVE sodium - in food...
I think the intention of sending a song like this was to work on nostalgia, from the sound to the message. Well, I think the wild and burning state of the current European Union is not controversial among the majority, so I don't think it has been disqualified.
But I believe that precisely because of the work as a whole, and due to the weaker scenario at Eurovision this year, Europapa should reach the top 5 without much effort.
My man has no idea what he is saying 🤣🤣
You don’t understand it🤣
Palestina 🇵🇸
Yair you really miss the point totally. The song is about his parents whom he lost very young, who taught him to look beyond the frontiers, and he mixes the the music from that time, music which was and still is very, very Dutch ... the girl dancing is also very, very Dutch. There is a lot of symbolims in the song from the start to the end. I would not be surprised at all when he wins, well deserved.
who hurt him so bad
His government.
i first read the comments and didn't bother to watch the reaction from Yair.🤗🐔
So why bother replying? Go watch something else...
@@yairmohrGo cry some more, weakling.
@@yairmohr womp womp
Too bad you didn't let the text sink in, then you would have had a different conclusion!
You don´t get it! This song is far from political and is so pure. Maybe not the best singer. But This production is lit and next level. Joost is a poet and Tantu is an instrumental wizard. Awesome song that break borders and spears to many generations.
Great song.
Netherlands 12points❤
you are not the first who was send to the wrong direction. Advice: do not get cocky. Wait with your insight in the future till after closure of the song.
Saying this Song Is Poltical , when your country wanted call its Song "October Rain"..🤦🏻🤦🏻😱
bro has no clue what he's talking about 😂
"It's been done só many times"...
"only three layers of music, só simple, too simple"
"is this a political message?"
Dude... common... whenever you comment on something at léast take care of some knowledge before you comment.
No music knowledge, no knowledge about what the song is about, no knowledge about the fact that 'gabber' has never been done before on esc.
Sigh...
You really think The Netherlands is 30 years behind ?
I think this is a rollercoaster that has to do with his own youth (also referring to the nineties in Dutch electronic music)
The song or act, whatever one thinks of it gives a new kind of input for the festival, but yeah Joost will not win the contest. Doesn't change the in- and output of his doings...
😊
Did I say I thought The Netherlands was 30 years behind?! I literally started this video by complimenting Radio 538 for being the best radio station in the world.
😂😂😂😂wath an I.D.I.O.T sorry, not sorry
Oonly way you can think is love or hate?
I didnt know where you are from but now it makes sense... so full of hate...
Damn ...somebody is missing the message here...LoL!
Joost ❤❤❤12point 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good luck to you, Yair. Let’s share a glass of copium.
I haven't read all the comments but it seems like nobody bothered to explain the actual meaning to you. This song is about an orphaned child traveling to try and run from the pain ("I lost everything except time". But he can't run from it. He's in Germany, but still alone. He's in Italy, still feels the pain. He's also trying to get help with his grief and pain, but it's hard to get help (pressure on the healthcare system making it hard to get therapy). Joost Klein himself lost his parents at a young age (12/13). He used to watch Eurovision with his parents and told them he'd be on that stage one day. His dad told him it is a world without borders/limits. So the EU is not the subject of the song, but it is the backdrop of the song. At the end, there is a picture of him and his parents on fire, as well as the building, aka his foundation. As he wants to use this song to finally move on from the grief that he has been carrying. It's a form of therapy for him. The kid in the room is him at a young age, the old man is what he thinks he will become if he doesn't let go of the grief. The music style and a lot of other things (the gameboy, the posters in the room etcetera) are a throwback to his youth as well. I hope this helps to better understand why this song is not political. Whether you like the music or not is obviously not up for debate 😁
Actually, if you had read all the comments you would have seen it was explained numerous times. But apparently everyone thinks they can explain it in a way that will magically change what I said in this video over a month ago.
He may have lost everything but time, but it seems like commenters here have never even found out the concept of time...
@@yairmohr I am not trying to change what you said in the video because that would be impossible. Just trying to help you see a different perspective after the fact. But from this comment it is clear that you're not open to any other perspective and think your own assessment of the song is the only possible correct one and/or you're intentionally being a prick for the engagement. With such misplaced arrogance I can only hope it is a hunt for views and that you're actually a much nicer person than this.
@@yairmohr bruh Joost is the goat and you think this song is crap its the only FUN one from this year (except Estonia that was also nice)
You’re not enjoining life too much, are you ?
I see the reactors brain is equal like his hair ... nonexistent

Political ? Do your research . Move your video , do research before you say something
Another student with an "F" in understanding RUclips culture.
@@yairmohr I don't think you made the ''epic own'' you think you did there. Person who cannot even understand a song.
Ironic seeing the title now…😂#Joostice
Do your homework !
you don't get it huh?
You have no clue at all, my friend. 😅 This video has the most views on your channel. Think about that. Go look at all other reaction channels. Joost klein beats them everywhere. This is totally no political song. Its aletter to his dead parents. ❤ At the official eurovision channel 1ste Nederland 20mln / 2de Ukrain 4.7mln / 3de Israeli 4.1mln
You're either confused, or worse. Saying a song should be disqualified and judging its musical level is two different things. Like I said in my reaction to Switzerland, last year I thought they should have been disqualified, but I LOVED the song and almost voted for it (had it not been for Lithuania having an even better one). And the fact a song gets a lot of love does NOT mean it's not political, as very strongly demostrated last year by Croatia.
Here we go…
You really missed it... By far! 😂
Sorry but this reaction video should’ve been disqualified.
A this song is not political, it’s about his very personal journey after his parents died.
When Joost was 12 his dad died of cancer and 8 months later his mother passed away from a cardiac arrest.
When they still lived his Dad told him to have a very expensive view of the world, like he says in the last part. “In the end were all humans.”
He’s singing about himself traveling all over Europe to find someone who will comfort him while he’s fighting with his grief. But as much as he is partying and meeting people in the end he’s still alone.
The end of this song is him concluding that it’s okay to be missing his parents and him finally finding closure letting go of his past yet keeping the good memories.
It is not a political song. Do your homework.
Ik heb nog nooit iemand overduidelijk van de muziek zien genieten terwijl hij beweert het niks te vinden😂😂😂
You mean saara altoo from finland with monsters. But se isn’t. And there is notting political about this song
But she really looks like Saara, right? It's not just my imagination.
They are all Dutch, happy hardcore is Dutch too...do your research.
