Joost will introduce a new generation to Eurovision because of this here in the Netherlands and i'm excited for it. I also feel i'm too old to follow whatever Joost is doing (voel me echt oud), but his energy and representation in everything he does is undeniable. Let the older people whine all they want. This is awesome. And for me with Paul Elstak nostalgic as hell

Vast majority loves it. It's fun, emotional, many Dutch elements for once, it's great. Who cares about old people give me a break 😂. We will vote for it, not Dutch old people. Even if it doesn't qualify (it will), it will make lots of people happy and smile. That's all what it is about imo.

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! And I am 40 plus so it is not just young people..😄🍀🥰

55 and one of the few Eurovision songs I like

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.

I can't get Europapa out of my head. Another party banger this year. I need the Netherlands, Estonia, and Finland in the final with our boy Baby Lasagna. It's a party ESC year for sure. 🥳

@@Dannyknuiman Thank you! We all have high hopes for Baby Lasagna. He's an incredible person who put in a lot of hard work. Croatia has never shown this level of support for a candidate before, and we are hoping for the best, but we will be proud no matter what the outcome may be. 🐱♥️ But I'm really hoping Joost gets great results too. His song is interesting, catchy, and has that ESC factor. He definitely has my vote and I'm sure he can get fair amount of public votes. 🥰 I can't wait to see both performances. I hope that both Joost and Baby Lasagna do well and that we'll see them in the final.

One of the countries who created and does electro-dance better than everyone else, finally decided to send a song of that genre to EV and it's....pure magic 🎉. It's a top 5 for me.

There's a possibility that DJ PAUL ELSTAK will appear on the Eurovision stage. This further confirms we're living in a simulation.

I'm in my 60's, but having a lot of fun with this song. Can't get this out of my head. It brings me joy and emotions, got tears in my eyes at the end. Want to give a hug to Joost. And wish him lots of succes. Love this ❤

The more I see this music video (about 50 times now), the more I end up in tears... This hit me hard in a weird way. First the throwback to the 90s... MY HEAAAAAART!!!!! But to end it like that... an ode to his father... Til yesterday I didn't even like Joost Klein - now I'm a believer! 🤣

The guy in the car is Paul Elstak. Google him. He also worked on the song.

Yes, the Dutch are truly pioneers of electronic music, from Techno and Trance to Hardcore.

Joost Klein is amazing live on stage! I cannot wait to see his stage performance

I gotta be honost, i dont like the Eurovision contest (anymore). But this year i WILL be watching and partying with Joost. Happy hardcore gold from the netherlands, i hope we all will go mental when he sings. Forget about every worry we have and go loco. Letsgooooo Europe!!

Totally perfect mix between remind your roots and open minded for something different, even honor them and most important not taking yourself or something else to serious. I like the dutch kind of thinking ;), sry 4 my bad english...

Can you please turn DOWN the music volume a bit more? I can still just hear it if i'm super quiet...

So MANY fun and boppy entries this year! But that's a good thing for you and me! The lyrics are about Joost moving on from the death of his parents when they were younger by following his father's wish to not see borders.

What a masterpiece powerhouse banger 🤩🤩🤩

It is a true work of art, it is filled with so many hidden gems that go unnoticed, especially for those who aren't Dutch. But in short, all the musical transitions go from the old-school house, dance, and EDM to Gabber and New Kids "Hey Jonguh" (the referrals are obvious imho but I'm Dutch). It is a work of art! And I'm proud of him too. But I think the backstory is so important to really understand it that might be the only downside, perhaps he will have something up his sleeve?! Perhaps he will have an English version for the EVSC?! Can't wait to see it live on stage at the EVSC :)

Thanks so much. I’m so happy with this entrance. We are gonna slay!

This is a jammer ! Definitely my number 1 so far.

theres A MASSIVE dutch identity to the video clip, i could explain them but only dutch people can connect to it the most

I love Joost klein , proud to be Dutch, not all elder people dislike this song I am a 59 years old Dutch lady and I think it’s amazing so proud off our Joost Klein , a hero in my eyes.

The song is a cheerful, comedic and caricatural tribute to Europe, but it takes on a completely different meaning when you consider the life story of the musician behind it: a sad story. He dedicates the song to his parents, whom he lost at a very young age. First his father died when he was only 12, shortly after that suddenly his mother died. He sings Europ-"papa" (nice alliteration, but it's not a coincidence) and at the end of the music video, we see a metaphorically burning house where you literally see his family photo burning away. A very unfortunate childhood, but Klein finds comfort in the love of his parents and it even turned him into a musician. He started writing to process his huge loss. At the end, he quotes optimistic words from his father and says, "See, daddy? I listened to you."

I'm so excited for our entry. Is it my music taste no, is it part of Dutch culture yes! Go Netherlands!!

You go to difficult. This is simply genius ; its new and its freak good. The key on Joost is not to analyse. Just his presence is enough

I watched the music video after a bad hookup in Denmark. Went to Makmö the next day and listened. This song is just THE vibe of 2024. I’m calling it.

The sounds are early 2000's and some sounds 2010's But new, you know what i mean? And the beat when the people dancing crazy was called happy hardcore and was very popular in the 90's. The dance was called Hakken and the group was calling themselfs Gabbers. O yeah and the godfather of hardcore "DJ Paul ELsak" helpt with the (happy) hardcore beat. He is even in the car (in the clip), the bald guy in the car. Joost Klein lost his father when he was only 12 and a year later his mother died. Song tribute to his parents, and a message to his father i have done it dad. He prommised his dad that he would be performing at the eurovision.

I am 63 and musician for 58 years. For me this is a great song, it sounds good. I thought scooter had his inspirations also from Holland... Spotify and the rest shows that it was not bad.

Paul Elstaks hard dance beat at the end is the best.

I'm dutch and to be fair, only heared this song because I see clips on youtube.. Welcome to the 90's..

Joost klein, droom groot❤

Noosh101 I felt also the similarities in style to Windows95Man. Fun fact: Windows95Man is married to a woman from the Netherlands.

I think he may have done it. Singalong, party, hits all the Europe angles and themes, Paul Elstak with some happy hardcore in there and then right in the feels. I’ll say top 3 if the jury votes get what’s happening here. Public will be voting for us.

Long title is long. But you reacted so I guess that's fine. I subbed to make up for my comment.

Joost and Paul 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Its a ode to his dad that died and papa (euro-papa) means dad in dutch

love this song very much its and banger my country netherlands are slaying

Hardstyle stuff i rather call it happy hardcore/ gabber then hardstyle 😆 there is a big difference

Wonder if they will keep the sad part at the end for the live performance? A lot of people don't get it.🤔
