Joost lost his parents as a kid, the song is a tribute to his dad. He promised him to make it, and now that he's 'made it', he's ready to leave his past in the past (the burning picture/house).
sorry for him that's terrible, but its not fair to mention such personal details of any artist who is about to compete because I believe some other competing artist might also had experienced personal tragedy and is not bringing it up in this context. The WORST scenario might be winning points over personal information and sympathy rather than song or talent. So please be careful what you write and how you present it
@@bojicc9miso Well it's very much intertwined. The song is about his parents watching Eurovision every year when he was a kid. Then, both his parents died when he was 13, and he travelled a lot throughout Europe, feeling alone in every country, dealing with his grief. His dad always said "borders exist only in people's minds", so that why this song is called Eurodad. It also incorporates Dutch culture, as the Netherlands was one of the first countries to influence today's EDM scene (with hardcore).
@@lwgg742 I get your point but it would be nicer to let audience interpret his lyrics and use their own imagination. Sharing the real death tragedy and gaining sympathy in that manner overshadows the song and the competition which is why I said it would be bad if points are given because of that fact. Best example is Portugal. Wishing you good luck!
@@amber2905 I would never think of someone's death tragedy after listening the song until it was brought up in the comments. The song is cool and catchy and with all due sympathy to this singer- that detail is unneccessary. All the best!
Joost Klein is Groot! He dedicated this song to his father who died when he was 12 years old. His dad taught him that the world has no true boundaries. His mother died when he was 13. He is a HUGE inspiration to young folks, he is such a legend. The world needs more people like Joost. He has gone through so many challenges in life it is a true inspiration to see how he deals with it. Joost Klein is Groot!
The story briefly is: his parents died when he was a kid. His father always said: the world has no borders. So Joost said: then I want to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest one day. After the death of his parents, he started searching for the meaning of life and relief of his pain by traveling, but never actually found it there. He gave people money (psychologists?) to help him, but it didn't work. Until he realized that he still had time and options to realize his dreams. After all, the world has no borders right? And so he did. The burning house represents losing but also moving on, in a positive way. Burning your bridges: no longer controlled by pain + sadness, but focused on your dreams. Without borders.
The happy hardcore style is composed/produced by dj Paul Elstak. For example rainbow high in the sky is from his hand (back in the nineties). Joost told his parents when he was little that he would be performing a the esf one day. In the end of the song he says: dad, I made it! It is a tribute to his parents/dad. That is why the song is titled Europapa.
The translation of the song: Europe, let's come together It's now or never I love you all Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Visit my friends in France Or take a walk to Vienna I want to leave the Netherlands but my passport is gone Fortunately don't need a visa to be with you So take the bus to Poland or the train to Berlin I have no money for Paris So i use my fantasy Do you have a euro please? Say 'Merci' and 'alsjeblieft' ('please' in Dutch) I really lost everything Except time So i am travelling every day, because the world is mine Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa (hey) Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Eu-ro-pa (hey) Ich bin in Deutschland (I am in Germany) Aber ich bin so allein (But i am so alone) Io Sono in Italia (I am in Italy) But it still hurts I am running from myself Calling for help all day long Yes i even give people money but there is no one to help me I don't need es-car-gots (A French dish) Don't need fish 'n chipt Don't need paella (A Spanish dish) No, i don't even really know what that is Turn on the radio I hear Stromae with 'Papaoutai' I won't stop until they say: "Yes yes, he does that very well ey!" Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa (hey) Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Eu-ro-pa (hey) Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa..... WELCOME TO EUROPE BOYY!! ... Eu-ro-pa! At he end of the day, we are all human beings My father once told me, this is a world without borders I miss you every day, is what i secretly whisper You see dad... I listened to you. (The end is a tribute to his parents, especially his father, whom he lost at a young age)
I'm so sorry for you😢...This is why the story behind this song has to be told. This is where music is made for, to give healing, hope and strength. The most powerful songs ever made came from tragedy and have a message. That's the power of music.
TRANSLATION OF THE ENDING!!! What he says roughly translates to ‘At the end of the day we’re all just people, my father used to tell me it’s a world without grenzen (grenzen, means borders but it also translates to limitations). I miss you everyday is what I quietly whisper, see dad? In the end I always listened’ referring to the advice he gave him. He always told his parents who both passed he wanted to go to Eurovision and now he made it, taking after his fathers advice not to feel limited since the world is beyond limitation if you’re willing to work hard for it. You’re welcome! 😊
Throughout the songs he hints that he is facing isssues after the loss of his parents. The pain in italy being alone in Germany. No matter how much he travels the pain of his parents death is not gone. As he mentioned no one helped him. He burns his house down to end the chapter and accept the loss of his parents. He watched eurovision and promised his dad he would make it however his dad passed away before he could make him proud. The song is fun and happy but the lyrics does hit knowing the background
The are the lyrics: Europe let's come together! (Europapa1, Europapa) It's now or never! I love you all! (Europapa, Europapa) Welcome to Europe, I'll stay here until I die Europe-ope-ope, Europe-ope-ope Welcome to Europe, I'll stay here until I die Europe-ope-ope, Europe-ope-ope Visiting my friends in France Or taking my legs to Vienna I want get out of the Netherlands but my passport disappeared Fortunately I need no visa to be near you So I'm taking the bus to Poland or the train to Berlin I have no money for Paris so I use my imagination Do you have some euros please Saying "merci"2 and "alsjeblieft"3 I lost everything, really except for time So every day I'm on a journey because the world is mine Welcome to Europe, I'll stay here until I die Europe-ope-ope, Europe-ope-ope Welcome to Europe, I'll stay here until I die Europe-ope-ope, Europe-ope-ope Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Europapa-pa (Hey) Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Europe! (Hey) I am in Germany But I'm so lonely I am in Italy, but it hurts really Running from myself Shouting "help!" all day Yes I even give people money But there's no one that helps me I need no escargots Need no fish and chips Need no paella, no I don't even know what that is for real Turning on the radio I hear Stromae with "Papaoutai" Won't stop until they say "Yes, yes, that's good, yeah!" Welcome to Europe, I'll stay here until I die Europe-ope-ope, Europe-ope-ope Welcome to Europe, I'll stay here until I die Europe-ope-ope, Europe-ope-ope Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Europapa-pa (Hey) Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Europe! (Hey) Europapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa... Welcome to Europe, boy! (Hey) Europe At the end of the day we are all human beings My father once told me it's a world without borders I miss you everyday, I whisper secretly Do you see now dad? I listened to you
The only thing he sings about regarding Europe is that he appreciates to be a European and no matter which European country you come from, we’re all the same lol. Literally nothing political is mentioned
[Post-Chorus: Joost] Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa (Hey) Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa Europa (Hey) [Verse 2: Joost] I am in Germany, but I am so alone I am in Italy, but still, I feel pain I'm running from myself, call for help all day long Yeah, I even give people money, but there's no one to help me I don't need escargots, don't need fish and chips Don't need paella, no, I don't even know what that is Turn on the radio, I hear Stromae with "Papaoutai" Won't stop until they say, "Yes, yes, he does that very well, ayy" [Chorus: Joost] Welcome to Europe, stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe, stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa [Post-Chorus: Joost] Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa (Hey) Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa
The song is about : his father told him there are no more borders. But he lost both his parents before he was 13 years old . So in the song he travels across Europe, but it’s not a travel, he is running and hiding for himself and his feelings. But you comment music videos, then it’s a bit sad that you didn’t see that EVERY ACTOR in this clip is a very famous artist. s10, dj-Paul Elstak, Donny, René Froger, and many more. This song is a tribute.
Welcome to europe, stay here till i will die Euro father Euro father Welcome to Europe Stay here till i will die Euro father Euro father this is the Chorus
[Intro: Joost] Europe, let's come together (Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa) It's now or never I love you all (Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa) [Chorus: Joost] Welcome to Europe, stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe, stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa [Verse 1: Joost] Visit my friends in France or take a long walk to Vienna I want to leave Netherlands, but my passport is gone Fortunately, don't need a visa to be with you So take the bus to Poland or the train to Berlin I have no money for Paris, so use my imagination Do you have a euro, please? Say "merci" and "please" I lost everything except time So I'm travelling every day 'cause the world is mine [Chorus: Joost] Welcome to Europe, stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe, stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

@@alesctv for real i have seem 6 youtuber who reviewed his song for the eurovision and all those have double or more views on joost europapa then any of there other video in the last couple months. tell me enough how hype the song is
@@alesctv we will see :) first time i actually folllow the eurovision, cause i follow joost but also cause the song just pop up on my youtube. (maybe someone at youtube is fan and pushes the song to people recommanded)
If you really listen to the lyrics, it is clearly an ode to his parents who passed away when he was a child and talking about him running away from his pain without success. Europapa means 'Euro daddy' of course, but also: 'fortunately I don't need a visa to be with you' 'I've lost everything except time' 'I'm in Germany but I'm so alone' (in German) 'I'm in Italy but it still hurts' 'I'm running from myself, crying for help all day long. I even give money to people but there is no one to help me' 'Turn on the radio, hear Stromae with Papaoutai ( which means Daddy, where are you? in French) 'My father once told me: it is a world without borders. I miss you every day is what I secretly whisper. See, dad, I listened to you' So basically: wherever he goes, the sadness goes with him. And then that burning house at the end symbolizes the message to oneself of having to let go of that sadness and old memories in order to move on
its a sad song of him being lost after his parents died, covered in happy beats, typical behaviour for orphans, like me, and together with eurooa being awesome and never wanting to leave.
The thing with you guys and these commenting video's is that not nearly 25% of you are actually paying réal attention... Especially with a song with different layers and segments and a clip with a lot going on (speaking of cultural and subcultural references)... It's like asking a kid to review a movie > they'll miss so much... The track unfolds if you are paying attention, but all you do is babbling over and missing everything that could make your comments àfter the clip so much more interestening...
