I think the “dadada” is quite clever as it gives non-Dutch speakers something to sing along to. Will make people remember it in an international song contest.

I do feel like the “dadada” work really well in this song. Cause it gives some time to build up to the chorus, without weird sounds from the language.

Do not disagree with you many times but this time I do. It's a perfectly crafted song. Non Dutch people cannot sing along to the song but they CAN sing along to that "da da da" part and having watched about 40 reaction videos about this song, they WILL sing along!! Also, you said they "did something" with her voice, they just put a live version on KZread and her voice holds up to the studio version. Maybe listen to that one.

I'm dutch so biased but i was captivated by its pureness and authenticity. I couldn't stop listening to it. I think the "dadada' and "oehoeahaa"s are smart and immediately sticks into my head without getting old. I am absolutely in love with it.

S10 is my winner for now, she just seems so real in what she's singing about

I don’t think there is a lot of production on her voice. It’s just the way she sounds. Check out her live videos.

The "dadada" part is my favourite bit!

The hook and chorus are real earworms. After listening to it 3 times, I now hear the dadadadada ahaaa ohoooo all day 😊

This is my winner😭❤️❤️❤️

It's actually a love letter to herself, because she went through a dark time being depressed.

This is a great song!! The Dutch language feels beautiful, S10's voice is great and full of emotion. One of my favorite ones this year and I'm hoping it will do pretty well in Turin.

One of the best songs so far this year! Full of emotion, with a very good interpretation..hopefully, if the live performance will not disappoint has good chances to be in the top 5..

As a dutchie, many of us were worried that Europe wouldn't understand our language, so my guess is that they put in the "dadada" part so people can sing along. I saw a few people that reacted to the song sing along with that part.

As a south african, although English-derived, I understand it perfectly. I have never heard nederlands sung so beautifully, I love the sound of her voice with "...je naam" versus afrikkans "jou naam."

I first didn't like the chorus too. But with the live-version on Mathijs Gaat Door it grows on me. The chorus could be a great moment in the final when people sing along

She was 17 years old when she signed with the Dutch hip-hop label Noah's Ark in January 2018.[2] Her EPs Antipsychotics (2017) and Lithium (2018) are named after drugs that are sometimes prescribed for psychological complaints. S10 is praised for her bold and honest lyrics about her personal psychological problems: she herself was admitted to a clinic in the past for depression and psychosis.[3] she sings from a real place and hope that others in dark times can be helped by her music

I think it's awesome :) Got a London Grammar vibe too. Georgina, I'm slightly curious: how does the Dutch language sound to you as native British? Thx & enjoy your travel!

This song is beautiful 😍 the "ooo, haaaa" is my favorite part of the song as it's so beautiful and graceful. This along with Poland and Australia's entries are my top 3 favorites so far😍😍😍

I love the song 🇳🇱

In the clip she gets confronted what happened, she got into an argument with her boyfriend, he drives off alone and dies. Her tattoo lights up and he appears as a ghost and she still feels deeply connected to him, after seeing his motorbike at the garage at the `braketest` sign she walks off and cries her eyes out and his presence inside her fades. (The light on her cheek) The Lyrics Translation: Do you know the feeling that your dream won't come true? are you ever scared it will always stay the same? Because it's raining every day and I can't see anything You and me together, right? it would always be that way Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Oeh-Ahh Here in the depth, I keep hearing your name Oeh-Ahh Oh my love what should i do? I'm in the depth and I don't want to let you go I'm hiding under the table and I hope you'll find me I'm already waiting the whole evening, Oh I look like a child I'm biting my teeth again and I know you're doing the same But God what else should I do, when is it enough? Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Oeh-Ahh Here in the depth, I keep hearing your name Oeh-Ahh Oh my love what should i do? I'm in the depth and I don't want to let you go No, no, no, no Not letting you go Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Oeh-Ahh Here in the depth, I keep hearing your name Oeh-Ahh Oh my love what should i do? I'm in the depth and I don't want to let you go

I really love this song! This is the kind of music I listen to in a daily and I’m so excite for this. The lyrics is so good and a simple-effective staging will cement it’s spot in the contest. 🇳🇱✨

She did a stunning live performance in the show 'Matthijs Gaat Door'. I really recommend it to give it a listen!

People saying the "dadada" borthers them. What about the "bucka-mhm-buckbuckbuck-mhm" chicken sound from Netta? I'm still recovering from that!

It really grows on you! I recognize some of the points you made, but I also just can't stop listening now. It pulls you in - in an almost hypnotic way. I love it.

I personally really love this song. I think the da da da part is included so it makes is easy for non dutch people to sing along with it. It really got stuck in my head all day tbh.

I love this entry so much! Classy, even elegant, yet still modern and authentic. Reminds me of france's 2018 entry "Mercy"

The most emotional song in this years ESC. I love it from the first second that I've heard it. It's so deep, so sad and so wonderful. She have a beauriful voice and +1 for the "dadada" part. I really like it! 12 point from Germany ✌️🏳️‍🌈

At first I hated the "dadada" part but now I love it so much ! This song is INCREDIBLE !!!! My 3rd so far

This song isn’t about a relationship it’s about her life and her struggles. She was so deep in a depression that she couldn’t get out of it and the part that says: “ik zit diep en ik wil jou niet laten gaan”, she talks about herself, she doesn’t want to let herself go in this depression. She also said that this song is love letter to her emoties back then. Thank you Stien for this amazing song! I’m still listening to it till this day I’m proud that we came with this entry 🇳🇱❤️

I could see this doing very well. It gives me Belgium 2017 vibes which to do this day is one of my favorite eurovision songs of all time.

For me personally this is one of the strongest songs we have so far, but I think the whole strength of the song is only reached, if you know the backstory of S10 and this song: She has multiple psychological issues, especially schizophrenia, which have affected her whole life. This song is dedicated to all the sad and lonly moments you have in your live, which is something she really knows what she is talking about. What I've seen so far, the "da, da, da" part is actually something people have liked the most about this song, because they have something to sing along to, even though they don't speak durch. So I think your doubts aren't so much of concern.

the music video is simple, but emotional... :c she had a boyfriend who died in a motorcycle accident... now he's a ghost. in the end he kissed her on the cheek...

Well I think it’s an amazing song and It has a really good chance I think.✨

She just performed live which she only will do once, before Eurovision. It was on Matthijs Gaat Door. Maybe you will want to check it out.

My reaction to the first time listening to this song was exactly like yours :) But then I watched the live version in a Dutch tv program called *"Mathijs gaat Door",* and then I FELT it much stronger, as live there is more emotion in her voice, I think. Even made me cry , and since then I can feel it even in this version. So I would be very interested in your opinion of the *live version!*

beautiful song and good performer ! Netherlands would deserve a 6th victory ! One of the best and one of the most beautiful song of this esc 2022 !

First heard this song this morning,have been playing it all day. What will stand out this year are songs that are different,there’s no other song like this (so far) this year,definitely a qualifier and potential top 10 depending on the running order.

Thanks Georgina, Don't know what to make of the song yet. In 2019 there was a lot of critisism about Duncan and he won. He was pretty unknown for us and so is this singer.

She got a live performance now on Dutch tv, it's on KZread

I think that this will win. Personally, she doesn’t need to belt notes out because we can already feel the emotion and that’s what music is all about. As a non-Dutch speaker, I don’t need to understand the lyrics, the song is already a catchy hook line with the oooos and ahhhhs .

Eurovision every year gets better and better

Every year I come tho this channel when Eurosong is about to start ❤️ love The channel so much

Finally a "vocal coach" (no offence , i sometimes think people miss use that title) that can hear the tuning and things done to it ! well done ! By far the Best i've seen. you address allot of details love it !

This is really beautiful and I love that it is in Dutch, easy qualifier and probably top 10! Also I really like the doo doos I just find them really calming and when they come on during the recap I think it will instant remind voters, but who knows! Excited to see the performance in Turin

Dutch person here; The song is about the loss of someone you love and everyone deals with it differently. The luminous man is the soul of the deceased loved one who enters her to give love and peace back to here. Diep means Deep, she falls deep

I thinks it's gonna be in the top 5 for sure

love the song and love it is in dutch. I might not understand the lyrics, but i still feel the vibe of the song

I love this song! OMG! Its so addicted! My top 5! Hugs from Portugal ❣❣

Thanks for your review! And I understand it. But maybe this is a song when analised too much you cant feel it? Try and listen to it it as a whole, it might feel different

This is my number 1 so far.

it is funny that everyone is breaking his neck about the da-da-da's .the meaning behind it is actually quit funny. it is because the song wasn''t finished yet when she was singing it in at the studio.she was humming along with the music because there wasn't a lyric for it. and founding it very good sounding. and there for they have letting it in in the song

We're back ❤️ nice to see you

She is much better live, it works and I love it. Hope it does well.

My personal winner!🤍 12p from Croatia. So stunning!

I think the dadada and aaah parts are a smart choice making the song easier to sing along with for those unfamiliar with the Dutch language.

The dadada for me feels like the " i don't wanna hear". Adds to the vibes and lyrics. But again, just a feeling. Crying out emotions don't go in words, that's all!

She has done it live tonight! Looked really cool maybe you can react to that georgine! Its live at mathijs gaat door

I love it so much. The Dutch is really nice

I really love this song and it will depend on the staging whether this qualifies and how well it will do

it is her written song the dadada and oooohoe has a meaning the oooohoe stands for highs and lows dadada for pause or breaks

I love this!

That's the goosebumps part dada and the oehoe and aahaaa... Have a great time there ❤

The Netherlands hasn’t done really good at eurovision with songs in Dutch, I think the DaDaDaDaDa en the Ohoo’s are actually great because it gives the opportunity for all countries to Remeber or even sing along to it. I am very exited to hear a crowd sing along to it actually

I think this song will come alive on stage

been waiting for you to react to it! i think the “daa-daas” were a choice because it’s in Dutch and those lyricless spots are easy to be sung when you don’t know Dutch

I think the da da da suits it perfectly.

The chorus was the best part!

It usually happens that in Eurovision contestants will fill in some parts of the songs like we see in the "dadada" parts of this song, but in this case, I think S10 did the best job in filling this gaps and made it sound so good, so romantic, so nostalgic. Whereas if you listen to other songs of this year's Eurovision that use the same resource you'll see a big difference. Personally I was pretty annoyed by this year's songs that did fill in the gaps with this resource as I felt that they didn't make any sense, and some even ruined the whole song for me since it felt like it was incomplete and took a lot of meaning from the song. But this song, I felt in love with it the first time I heard it (and I didn't have a clue of what she was saying but still I felt like I could relate to it so bad!) Great job S10 ❤️ this song will remain in my memory for a really long time!

it's going to be a good year! i love this song, and poland, australia, usually only one or 2 that i like but this is looking promising!

I have been waiting for you to do a reaction video to my country's esc song☺ love your videos💜💜💜

my winner of the season

It's funny, I have a completely differing opinion. This is the first song this year, that gave me winner vibes and the more I listen to and watch it, the more emotional I seem to get over this song. The "onomatopoeia"-bits seem to bother some people, but me not at all. The "oooo-oooo-aaaa-aaa" could be an expression of whailing/crying about the feelings presented in her text, the "da-da-da" is probably not about not wanting to know what else to write, but a kind of suspense. The moment of calm and trying to hold your feelings inside of yourself, when you realise the world goes down for you, but you don't want to cry, yet at some point in time you might just break: Then the "ooo-ooo-aaa-aaa" sets in. It's a wonderful song and, looking at the songs that are currently out, I'll be very bothered, if it doesn't make the Top 3 tbh.

first one that’s not liking the dada’s … it’s very emotional song. this is a sure qualification!

For me the 'da da' holds all the emotions...

If i am not wrong....the song is about depression,loss of innocence and the lost of ability in feeling love. The light symbolizes the hope and attraction other people felt in her...the man in the video was trying to help her but she refused to be helped because she doesn't believe she deserves to be helped. I do think the hollow feel of her voices matches the vibe of the song...it's meant to be seen from a depressed person's perspective and how they felt about themselves and the world during that time.

I am fairly sure that man in the video was her boyfriend who committed suicide through crashing his motorcycle on the road. He's hugging 'death' at some point in the video, driving away with him, rather than staying with her.

Good entry from The Netherlands this year

My two cents on the "da da da" is that I'm not really bothered by it. I'm sure she could've come up with words, but if she believed there was lyrically nothing left to add, there's really nothing left to say. In no way comparing the two, but I have to think of Otis Redding's whistling, which also seems like a loss for words, but still adding emotion to a song. Like a sort of child-like response to overwhelming sadness.

S10 sang her song live at Matijs gaat door. Impressive

I agree with your opinion but i was kinda suprised that 30 minutes after it was released it was already 3rd in the esc app and it still is, so i have good hope that my country will do pretty well this year.😄

The "dudududududu" is something that is in almost al her songs so its kind of her style and with the "dudududu" is kind a piece of emotion that needs to come out. ( im dutch so im trying to explain it )

My winner so far ❤️🇳🇱

I personally don't particularly like the translation, it's very choppy since you miss some nuance. For example "acting childish" it's rather "it's almost like I'm a darn child", meaning she dislikes how she beats herself up over how she feels due to his actions Anyways good video, thanks for reacting!

what i imagine with the "dadada" is. When you are struggeling with depression, you often tend to close out your surroundings. Like when she sits at the table with what i presume is family or something, but are not spritually present at all. She also mentions in the lyrics that she acts like a child. When emotions run high we tend to act out of our norm and are not willing to listen to reason. The "DADADA" can therefor be seen as a protection from outside interference.

It is so terribly bad that ESC was actually downplaying this clip! ;=) For last few days now. It has been noticed. LOL Probably the network will now push the views of the other songs. I am not naïve anymore. For the record, very few people, national and international, miss the emotional content and storytelling quality in the lyrics: through melody, instrumentation and (!) vocals. A few days ago she did it live in a Dutch TV show. With honours. Not perfect. But am I missing the point that with singing it is not always the best to sing the perfect notes, as long as you sing the right notes? I think it very clever by the way to do a song in Dutch and use the dadada's en de oeh's as functional and neccessary hooks for an international audience. And also thóse parts are arranged well. I know you are a vocal coach. And I have watched several of your reviews and liked them and understood most of the time were you were coming from. In this case, you have lost me. And you did something that I did not see you do very often: breaking up the song in oh so many parts that the storytelling quality in the music is completely lost. Gone. Maybe that is for the great part the reason for your assessment of the song? I think you maby did yourself a disfavor. By robbing yourself of some emotional journey. How subtle it might be. Greetings, wish you welll.

Don't understand that everyone has such a problem understanding the video. Simply explained. "She is with a guy on a motor, her boyfriend, and it is a flashback. Later the guy is alone on the motor, and a bit later again you see his ghost walking by, so that means he is killed in an accident with his motor. The rest you can fill in yourself hopefully.

Oehoe, aha, refers to breathing technique, I've read. The song is not about a boy or a relationship but her own past with anxiety. The butterfly refers to spiritual rebirthing. The lit spots are painspots that are gone. She got over the anxiety. Oehoe, aha is following that theory not because of not knowing words but well chosen.
