Joost in lowlands wishlist: buymeacoffee.com/teacherpaul/wishlist

You have to see the live version of Florida 2009 from Pinkpop 2022. It’s so emotional, especialy the interaction with Joost and the crowd of people.

this song is about his parents...his father passed away when he was 12 due to cancer. His mother couldn't handle it and had psychological problems because of it. He found her in cardiac arrest on the couch. less than a year later... a stone thrown into the river... is a Dutch metaphor... it means clearing (problems) blockages.

Rain = tears. Correct me when i'm wrong. His father had cancer. When they knew this they went to Disney Florida in 2009. After they were home his father pastaway of this cancer. And almost a year later his mom died. Her hart stopped and Joost found her on the couch. When you see this as a teenager. It is like a war zone. He needed therapie. He made a song wachtmuziek = waiting room muziek about this part of his life. I think the eurocoin in Europapa is about the therapie also. "Niemand die me helpt"

5:30 It’s explained correctly in the comments. Florida 2009 is the last holiday he experienced with both parents.

Joost de developed PTSD because of this. He’s had a very good reason to agree on not being filmed after finishing Europapa. He sometimes have flashbacks. Performing the outro of Europapa is always very emotional for him. People who say he was a 'joke entry' for Eurovision couldn't be more wrong.

I believe florida was where they went for a last holiday...I believe his father was already sick at that point.

The tv show Joost was watching with his parents "DWDD" is short for "De Wereld Draait Door" = "The World is turning on". He's actually saying after the death of his parents his world stopped turning, "de Wereld stond stil". He lost everything when his mother suddenly died after his dad. He lost his home, his safe place to be. He has been homeless a few times, mostly couch surfing at family and friends. Joost found help for Trauma (PTSD) and he likes to share with his fans and audience what he has learned in mental therapy (quote: the corny stuff is mostly true). He had contact facetiming with his therapist during the esc in Malmö. That's why I don't believe he has been agressive, really threathening a camera woman. Also some say he was too vulnerable and not looked after careful enough. I think that's rubbish. He was quite okay until he suddenly got suspended and disqualified. The video was shot at the Dutch island Texel, which is in the Province North Holland, not Friesland. However Joost wrote this song (two poems about losing 1 his father and 2 his mother) in Friesland, where he was born and grew up. His mind is in Friesland at the moment they're shooting the video.

6:04 That's exactly why so many people got so upset right away. Anyone who knows his story wonders why *_he_* wasn't the one who was protected in the _first_ place. Watching Lowlands *_2023_* opened my eyes.

I believe that Florida 2009 was the last holliday with his parents. They went to disneyland

I heard that too.

Joost Klein had a holiday with his parents in Florida 2009. That was their last holiday together. His dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2010 and died that year. His mum died a year later. The song is about the memory of that holiday and the loss.

Florida is the last holiday hé went on with his parents, when everything was alright and they where a happy family together. His father past away of cancer Some time after that and his mother died of an heart attack in the next year. She couldn’t cope with all of it, do Joost relationship with his mother was very difficult in the last year before she died. The metafoor ‘i tost a stone in the river’ means: I did somerhing, even of it’s small, but the river never runs the same way. it’s a reflection on life. And the line after that ‘even despite all of the rain’ means: I did that despite all of my sorrow and troubles.

When you go to: Joost live at Lowlands, you can scroll to the last part, to watch Florida 2009 live version. A beauty. In many ways.

Paul what a beautyful, spot on deep felt words you speak here! And yes, speaking of inhumane what they did: This evening in the Dutch press: Joost performes this weekend at the charity festival Baby’s Bonanza in Vancouver. Already booked in februari by organiser, rapper, singer-songwriter and good friend of Joost: bbno$ ( ‘baby no money’). It willl be at the Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park, an open air theater for about 2000 people. Joost did not take this job for the money. The money from the ticket sale goes to an organisation for Women's shelter called Downtown Eastside Women's Centre. .................. And then they accuse him.of....😢 OMG...

I'll translate the song for you sentence by sentence :) NL: Daar sta je dan, bij de crematie van je pa EN: There you are standing, at the cremation of your dad. NL: Na al die tijd van vluchten EN: After all that time of running/fleeing NL: Sta je stil en denk je na EN: You stand still and start to think NL: Dit is nooit meer vla EN: This is never custard* NL: Nooit meer vla voor de tv nooit meer samen EN: Never curstard again in front of the TV never together NL: Nooit meer samen kijken naar DWDD EN: Never again together watching DWDD** NL: Nooit meer dansen in het huis EN: Never again dancing in the house/home NL: En nooit meer klappen met een vuist EN: En never again giving fistbumps NL: Misschien was het niet juist EN: Maybe it was unjust NL: Maar ik mis ons, en ik mis thuis EN: But I miss us, and I miss home --------------------------------------------------------- NL: Daar sta je dan, bij de crematie van je ma EN: There you are standing, at the cremation of your mother NL: Allemaal huilende gezichten EN: All faces crying NL: Maar dat vond ik best normaal EN: But I thought that to be normal NL: En ze was zo'n lieve vrouw EN: And she was such a sweet lady NL: Nog zoveel dat ik zeggen wou EN: There was so much more to say NL:Van het spijt me, en sorry EN: Like I'm sorry, and sorry NL: Maar mijn hart die is nu koud EN: But my heart that now is cold NL: Voor jou bewaar ik mijn geduld EN: For you I'll save my patience NL: In een kistje, onder me bed EN: In a lockerbox, underneath my bed NL: Maar wat is een pretpark EN: But what is a amusementpark NL: Een pretpark zonder pret EN: An amusement park without amusement NL: Florida 2009, daar, daar kwam ik mezelf tegen EN: Florida 2009, that is where I found myself NL: Maar heb een steen verlegd in de rivier EN: But now I moved a stone in the river NL: En dat ondanks alle regen EN: Despite all the rain * Vla = custard. It's a dessert in the Netherlands ** DWDD = De Wereld Draait Door (The world keeps spinning) was a Dutch TV (stopped in 2020) show that told the current news but in a lighthearted way and in addition live music pieces. I've translated this myself, and I literally started crying. It's such a beautiful song.

Yohama in dutch it was “je ma” meaning your mother. His Father died of cancer and his mother died a Year later of cardiac arrest. Joost was then 12 and 13 years old. They died in the Netherlands. Joost lives in Bristsum in the north of the Netherlands This video is probably filmed on one of the islands north of the Netherlands . I can’t find why it is called Florida.

The Lighthouse is from Texel, Nord Holland.

Droom groot = dream big. There’s also a song called Droom Groot (love it)! Florida 2009 live @lowlands and live @pinkpop is more impressive, really advise you to see it 💙. I really hope he’ll get justice after the trial. His lawyer made an official statement and is pretty confident they will (I.e. he’ll be Acquitted) 💪🏼💥

In your wish list ( and correct me if I am wrong) I now see an important detail: Joost at Lowlands 2019. Is also oké, but we here are talking about Joost-live at Lowlands 2023!😊. 2019 version is different because of Joost's art always is in progress.

Joost's father died of cancer and in the same year his mother also died of cardiac arrest. In the song Florida 2009, the last holiday together as a family. Joost sings about this in the song Florida 2009. His performance during the semi-final of the Eurofestival is an ode to the memory of his parents. That is why Joost did not want to be filmed after the performance because he was high in emotion. But unfortunately this was not heeded by the woman with the camera who filmed him anyway. This is how his big dream ended and he was disqualified :( kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYiBm8GJqpTddtI.html&ab_channel=BrendonChase

Joost Klein heeft een Wikipedia pagina, daar kan je meer informatie vinden op Wikipedia

Yamaha is a wrong translation. He is talking about his mother.

This version is not the live version, which has (tv) subtitles instead of these bot subtitles with its yamaha-words. The only thing is that the live version is not comp.ete as the audience kept clapping and cheering

I love your reaction❤ The EBU destroyed his dream😢

Last sentence is: I've relocated a stone in a river, despite all the rain. It is a twist to a Dutch saying.

Florida in 2009 was their last holiday? I think?

Joost Klein, droom groot + Joost Klein=Little, dream large

Hey, not a lot of the songs of Joost have proper translations. So you want me to translate some songs just send a message

No he buried aparte stone in the river

Thats what you get when you dont concentrate on a lric of the song.

They knew his story, but again, he was too successful, and the song was too well recieved, and the sponsor didn't want him to win, so they looked for any excuse to disqualify him. Pfffff tears again. Because it's exactly what you said, very inhumane what the ebu did.

Paul, the justice for Joost vibe not only hit you, but so many people more. And it keeps going on! Dutch press: Joost is going to give an extra show on Pinkpop 2024 in june. The organisation said that the agenda of the festival was already complete since februari, but now they want to to give Joost the opportunity to open the festival on sathurday with a special.openingshow . .. ............ Pink.pop is a very large festival, here in the Netherlands, think of 60.000 people and more visiting it, each of the 3 days.
