Happy Hot Air Balloon Day!!!! ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶

[neVernope]

Maybe Joost didn't get the prize, but he got all eurovision viewers hearts

[SimSummer]

I like, how this entire song is about the fact that Joost was on top of the world, living his dreams, but then he got "shot down" referring to his disqualification. also he says its lonely on the top, but he also sings about how the past hurts, but he will have to move on, and do something great. is this maybe teasing something upcoming?

"Did you understand at least a word?"

[pimientichi]

What I liked most about Joost going to Eurovision is that he defined his aesthetic and became an international icon forever

[LyonPol]

Thank you for letting me direct this beautiful ps2 cutscene <3

I'm not Dutch, I've been a huge fan of classic rock for a long time but I've never seen this kind of combination of different kinds of music in a long time, if ever. This man is a Legend.

[Lovelili]

I don’t speak a word of Dutch and have no clue what he’s saying but this song is a bop and Joost is the true winner of Eurovision.

[TantuBeats]

Sorry Nena, but this is now my favorite song about Hot Air Balloons.. 🎈

[overthinkingit]

Honored to be sampled, my gabber. Anytime you come to Los Angeles I’m ready to perform it live. 💙

[Okami_gris]

1:05 the 180° head turn😭
This song is 🔥🔥🔥

[polahb]

Despite not winning the contest, you've won everybody's hearts, which is what really matters.

The Joost Klein lore is expanding.

Edit: We all know he is not guilty of anything. stop the hate.

[ewar]

I have goosebumps watching the contrasting fragment (0:47-0:52) when Joost is being dragged and people around are still dancing. For me, cinema should tell a story without words, and here we have it in only 5 seconds! Don't get me wrong, there are worse things in this fucked up world than getting disqualified, but there is something very emotional about seeing representation of the recent events of the Jury Final filtered through the artist's imagination. As if the weapon in this peaceful protest was the unity of people who had time of their life dancing and singing to the material repetition. Years have passed since I came across such inspiring artists as Joost and his team.

[alejandro_a.a]

I started watching him due to Eurovision. And he has become, withoit doubt, in one of my favorites artists with his songs. WE LOVE JOOST

[emiliana]

We love you Joost, you are the winner of our hearts! LOVE from Greece ❤🇳🇱🇬🇷

[kayleigh_]

Eurovision couldn't handle your art. Joost you go free and on your way, you don't need the support of corrupt organizations. Your real fans will support you and your team, never stop doing art💙🎈

[foxymoron]

you know a song is a banger when you don't even understand the language and it still sounds amazing

[Little_Duck_]

His parents figures in the end...it was one of my favorite moments from his performance at the semi final too...very emotional
