[HelloWorld-ktjk]

as a dutch person, i can confirm this is very, very dutch. the foundation of gabberpop and happy hardcore was laid in the netherlands in the 90s.

[Mangoxchick]

Heyhey! The ending is indeed part of the song, the song isn’t just a reference to hardstyle and gabber (which has true Dutch roots) but in an interview Joost said that the song is also in honor to his father who passed.

What he says roughly translates to

‘At the end of the day we’re all just people, my father used to tell me it’s a world without grenzen (grenzen, means borders but it also translates to limitations). I miss you everyday is what I quietly whisper, see dad? In the end I always listened’ referring to the advice he gave him.

He always told his parents who both passed he wanted to go to Eurovision and now he made it, taking after his fathers advice not to feel limited since the world is beyond limitation if you’re willing to work hard for it.

[missdutch]

Both his parents died when he was young and his father told him about Europa, that we are all equal. The burning of the pictures is his way to tell his parents that he hasn’t forgotten them, but he has burned his pain and can continue now. It is an ode to his parents

[PotenzaZ]

He lost his parents at a very young age. So the last part is a reference to his parents
Euro(papa) Papa means dad in Dutch.

[tikodcj]

His song Europapa is going viral.12 points from France to Netherlands

[rsey.]

If you've seen him live, you know he's gonna rock that stage😭

[reginaldvanengelshoven]

Dear people from all over the world, give Joost Klein from the Netherlands 12 points, he deserves to win to make his deceased parents proud who will be watching Joost from heaven.

[tikodcj]

Netherlands deserves their 6th victory in Eurovision Song Contest

[Stefan-]

After Ducan Laurence, Joost Klein is our new nr 1 for The Netherlands 🇳🇱🇪🇺 greets from Amsterdam!

[ferisadi]

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.

[petrasandberg]

Als kind keek Joost altijd met zijn vader ( papa ) naar Eurosongfestival . Zijn ouders zijn gestorven toen hij nog heel jong was . Dit is een song dat hij doet als eerbetoon aan zijn vader . Jaag je dromen na zoon, en dat deed Joost . Ben erg trots dat we zo’n mooi talent hebben in Nederland .

[BluePointOpleidingen]

This is not only music, but real art ! It makes me happy, gives me energy and makes me sad at the same time. How is that even possible? Respect.

[eduardorosa]

You had the same reaction as I did, started happy and dancing and ended crying. I really loved this song.

[odemnic]

It was so sweet to see how you went went trough all different emotions

[Nientje]

This is really the 90th with happy hardcore and gabberpop; my beautiful childhood and how special it is that Joost, who was born in 1997, brings this style back into our lives.

What an artist and a performer.🙏 Truly the best of the Netherlands ever. This song is with happiness and sadness combined, that releases all kinds of different feelings in a human body.Terrific beat, terrific feelings, thank you Joost.🙏🙏🙏 

This is what music is about.

If this isn't going to win, than I don't know it anymore and we'd better abolish the entire Eurovision Song Contest.

Love this, love Joost, with love and 12 points.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

[jlv]

It has such an emotional backstory. That combined with a very catchy tune and DJ Paul Elstak's happy hardcore/gabber vibes it's a banger for sure❤!

[mariAposaa]

Моя реакция была такой же, супер песня😅🫶🏼🕺🏾
Но и чуть грустно из-за смысла песни, я тоже слишком рано потеряла своего папу🥺

[jooseemii]

he's just an icon, such a banger!!

[annebethkuijs]

I've never been this excited about a Eurovision song since Arcade and this one even kinda blows it out of the water ❤

[AdvdW]

When I watched your video, there was a big smile on my face. I love your enthusiasm. 😃🤣 Greetings from the Netherlands.
