    I see the Tin Foil Hat Brigade is out in force. Some people need to learn that not everything has a hidden agenda. Not everything is political! I swear, some people could even find propaganda in a boiling pot of soup... Twist it around however you'd like...the song is a VIBE! There are so many more IMPORTANT things people could and should be concerned with. You can type until you have carpal tunnel in both wrists...hashtags and Tweets and Instagram posts are not going to remedy the things you dislike about the world. If they were, we'd all be living a worry-free and sustainable life by now. Just Sayin...

      As for the tinfoil; they are anti evrything. It's their relaxed status (and proof we fcked up on healthcare,lol). Don't worry about it. Not even worth your energy and heartfelt emotion. That is what they want; the only ones having a hidden agenda is that lot, wanting to destroy evrything good that our generation tries to do. Don't give them that platform. Not even worth it. It was about aliens they would be all about anti fcking aliens. Like I said; It's their relaxed status. If you dont like those comments just ajust who can reply et voila. Rainbows, unicorns and happy algorythm overlords.

      Although the song is a happy song it's subliminal message is everything but joyful for the Dutch people.
      Aren't you even suprissed you got almost 5K likes on this video while you ordinary don't have more then a hundred?
      Yeah well you and a few other know reviewers got targetted by pro EU trolls that got no clue what is about to happen in the next few years. Like WW3 and the death of a entire generation against Russia, yeah 'we will die in Europa' for Europe like the song says for sure. You got used in the media over here as a EU propaganda tool and you don't even know it. The burning of the house at the end and the windmill that is symbolic for the Netherlands is what is about to happen and the end of the Dutch identity. It is completly the opposite of your phrase, 'Be proud of where you came from' because our culture and heritage is about to get erased and we are about to loose our Dutch identity and become European digital citizens, decentralisation of power only means less power to the ordinary citizen. The day the song was announced, the eIDAS law was passed in Brussels, which will become our European digital identity, needed for everything in society and online and will mean exclusion for those who don't obey to their terms. Like getting a mandatory injection on a frequent basis. And the Chinese social credit system.
      F.Y.I. You will also get a digital ID in the US soon.
      The death of his father symbolizes the death of his homeland and everything you like about the Dutch people is about to get erased. One third of our civilians are already foreign refugees.
      Europe will now be our Papa / father , Europapa.
      This is not a song that represents the Dutch people, it represents the EU.
      If you wonder why someone like Davina Michelle haven't represented the Netherlands at this Eurovision contest, she knows about the political agenda behind this fake contest and she doesn't want to be a influencer but an artist.

    Joost Klein dedicated this song to his father, who died when he was 12 years old due to cancer. His dad taught him that the world has no actual boundaries. His mother died a year later, when he was 13, due to cardiac arrest. Before his dad passed, Joost was already writing all kinds of stuff and promised one day he was going to go to Eurovision. He has gone through so many challenges in life, and it is a true inspiration to see how he deals with them.

    Hi.. have you heard the news? Joost was disqualified and was not allowed to perform in the finale of the Eurovision 😭😭😭 He told everyone from the Eurovision production that he did not want to be filmed after his performance because of the emotional ending. But one camerawoman filmed him, he asked her twice to stop filming but she didn't... Joost gets triggered fast because of his past and so he made some kind of threatening movement towards the camera. He did not touch the camera or the lady. Fair, he shouldn't have done the last part, but if she respected his request and had turned off the camera, nothing would have happened. Sooooo, Holland is in a Eurovision mourning mood today... Hope he will be stronger and perform next year 💙💙💙

    I'm Dutch and let me explain what kind of music style this is. This isn't hardstyle, this is called Happy Hardcore. It's a music (sub)genre from Hardcore created in 90's in the Netherlands. Hard, fast beats and in the early years it also had some rave vibes. For example checkout the song 'Party Animals - Have You Ever Been Mellow' a typical Happy Hardcore song from the 90's. The "Happy" part is the melodie what makes it 'Happy' Hardcore. There was a whole sub-culture back in the days called 'gabber' (what, means buddy) in the Netherlands.

    The song is typical of the Netherlands. It is in Dutch, a music genre, the music video features mills and stunning Dutch landscapes.
    Eurovision is an emotional affair for Joost. As a child, he watched it together with his parents. "Parents, one day I'm going to be on Eurovision stage" and he did. Unfortunately, his parents died when he was a child. This song is dedicated to his late father. That's why it's called EUROPAPA. The part in the song “I'm in Germany, but I'm so alone. I'm in Italy, but I still feel the pain, etc.", I feel it's directed at his parents... Joost loved his parents and still does. His lyrics are mostly very deep, but the melody is happy, danceable and the clips of his song are presented in a fun way.

    @Bowwow30 24 дні тому +3

    Hahaha, that's why this music style is called happy hardcore. Because it makes you happy!!! It was a big thing in Europe in the mig 90's, dominated by the Dutch and Germans, such as Paul Elstak, Charlie Lownoise and Mental Theo, 2 Brothers on the Fourth Floor, Nakatomi, Scooter, the Party Animals, Dune, and many others. The aforementioned all had huge hits in Europe, especially in North West Europe. Their music style led to a whole lifestyle, called 'gabber'. Joost Klein brings an homage to this music style and asked - among others - Paul Elstak to co-write this song.
    For Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Belgian and probably many others the music of this song immediately reminds them of the happy hardcore songs of the 90's.

    Love this, love Joost, with love and 12 points.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

    Never have I ever been so proud of the netherlands. This is such great guy and funny, and he is so hyped for eurovision. It was his dream as a kid and have been promoting his music for a whole year so he'll het picked for eurovision!!

    It is indeed a very emotional song, from happy to sad. With his background, that he told his parents he wil sing on Eurovision, many years ago, before his parents die, nice to see he did it.
    Also a lot of references to happy hardcore, gabbers, hakken, new kids turbo.
    And dj Paul Elstak that helped him with this song ❤ (famous for hits in the 90s)
    There are so many details, you have to watch it multiple times to see al details.

    Paul Elstak is one of the producers and he is well known in Netherlands, 3:26 you see a cameo from Gerrie which is a character from New Kids Turbo, i suggest anyone watching it's so good and Paul produced the music for that movie aswell.

    When it was announced Joost Klein would be our entry for Eurovision I admittedly was a bit skeptical. I am so pleasantly surprised, bringing me nostalgic feels of my teenage years in the 90’s. At first it might seem kinda superficial, but this song has so many layers, especially with the ending.
    To me it says he was running all over Europe to avoid his pain but in the end it caught up with him and now he’s ready to let it go.

  • @stephanvd66
    @stephanvd66 3 місяці тому +31

    This song is a tribute to his father / Parents who passed away. Europa in Dutch means Europe. Pa or Papa means dad. His dad once told him the world has no “Grenzen” which could be translated to both borders (Borders are a man made concept) or limitations (Many people create their own limitations in their own mind). This life lesson inspired him to have keep having an open view on the world and live his life to the fullest without putting limitations on himself.
    After his parents died he carried a lot of pain with him. No matter where on earth he was (Germany, Italy), whatever food he would eat (Escargots in France, Fish and chips in UK, Paella in Spain), he still carries this pain with him. In the end nobody but himself could deal with this pain and he himself must find peace with his losses. Only going through the grief and finding inner peace would put a end to this suffering. This song tells the story of him as an orphan trying to do exactly that.
    Him creating this song was a huge part of this process. The line with Stromae / papaoute (which Translates to: Dad where are you), is followed with the words about how he wants his parents to be proud of him. He used to watch Eurovision with his parents and told them one day he would be there performing. Which is what he now did.

    This is a masterpiece!!! This is the winner of Eurovision Songcontest 2024, for me. No doubt.
    Research: Europapa = Eurodad. 12 points for The Netherlands. An ode to his father who passed away when he was 12 years and his mother who passed away when he was 13 years. His father told him that there are no boundaries, no limits. Go, travel and discover Europe and the world. He promised his father that one day he will be singing at the Eurovision. They used to watch it together when he was a child. Now he made it, because he will be on stage this year.
    Everywhere he travelled he carried the pain and grief with him.
    The fire simbolise letting go of the pain of no having his parents and the start of a new chapter in his life.

    The important part of the meaning(s) of this song has already been pointed out, but I wanna point out an extra detail.
    As established, he dedicated this song to his father, who taught him that the world's borders are imaginary, which is especially true in Europe, since all we see of the borders is a sign: "You are now in [country]". But the wordplay he uses to this end is brilliant (imo):
    Europa = Europe in Dutch
    Papa = daddy in Dutch
    -> Euro-papa (Europe + daddy)

As someone from Luxembourg, how can I not love the celebration of the European vision? Joost celebrates everything that the EU strove out to be and I just love it. Pair that with the 90s Euro-Pop feel and the wholesome message, this has gotta be a winner.

    "This guys got a whole lot of everything"
    Song completely changes to the dark undertone that actually gives the true meaning of the song.
    The lyrics are very contradicting to the music. If you listen to the lyrics they show you that there is a deeper meaning and i think the fact that last bit in the burning house creates shock value.
    At first you are in complete bouncing, happy state and then comes the almost heartbreaking plottwist.
    I think this song is probably very underrated as to how creative its been put together
