My First Reaction To Europapa - Eurovision (Netherlands) 

Turn the CC on and the lyrics will be translated🙏

His parents died ,when he was 12 , his mother when he was 13, his father told him always there are no borders, make your own world, this was delicated to his father. He worked a year on the song, to make it fun, but to bring the message to all the People. The world is ours

This song is fun and happy, but has a deep meaning (mutliple). The song title is a contraction of Europe + Papa (= father in Dutch). Further references to these 2 subjects: 1. He has been an orphan as of a young age. His father taught him that this world is his oyster, without borders. So he sings about travelling to many countries and to escape the pain of the loss of his parents, but that doesn't work. No escargots, fish 'n chips, paella can make him forget. 2. He used to watch ESC with his parents. And he said that one day he would be on that stage performing. His father encouraged him to live life without limits and to go for it. The small boy with the note pad references to his father encouraging him to write poetry (his father was a writer) and now Joost writes songs and he has made it to the ESC ("you see, dad, I listened to you"). With the burning (of the house, picture, building/mill (his past, growing up in Friesland)) at the end of the video, everything comes full circle. He has made his parents proud and he can accept their passing, his past and move on.

Haha this is funny! 😂

Comment down below what i should react next! ❤

Dank je wel.

That was a good and honest reaction!

Happy tunes, sad lyrics from the start. No matter where he goes he cant escape the pain of the loss of his parents. At the end he is ready to move on, hence the burning. Pure art.

Grappig dat mijn Medelanders in het Engels tegen hem praten. Hij geeft zelf al aan dat hij Nederlands spreekt, ik vermoed dat deze gast uit Vlaanderen komt.

Pure art 12 from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

Love ❤this song. Its getting better every day. 12 points for The Netherlands ❤❤❤

Bro i like you! You look like chandler from mrbeast 😂

His parents died when he was a child.

Misschien moet je de versie van de doventolk bekijken, dan weet je dat het over zijn papa gaat.. Je weet blijkbaar niet wat het is om je vader te moeten missen! Hakkuh is gewoon lekker Nederlands en hoort bij ONZEZ cultuur.. Ik hoop dat je nog kunt slapen van "politieke" happy hardcore nummer 😅😅
