Joost Klein - FLORIDA 2009 Live / ENGLISH SUBS (lyrics in description)

Joost Klein's "Florida 2009" performed live at Lowlands 2023. I translated/paraphrased the orig. Dutch lyrics (paraphrased to keep the rhyme scheme intact) into English. #joostklein #lowlands #europapa
Florida 2009
(Dutch lyrics translated/paraphrased into English):
So there you are, at your dad's cremation
After fleeing fast & far, you just stand in contemplation
This is the end of sweet custard, in front of our tv
The end of us together, watching a show called "DWDD"
The end of fist bump clapping and dancing in our dome
It may have been out of place, but I miss us and I miss home
So there you are, at your mom's cremation
Used to all of the crying people's faces I was facing
She was a woman so sweet, and I wish that I had chosen
To say "I'm sorry" before all, but my heart felt frozen
For you I keep my patience in a box beneath my bed
But what's a theme park, a theme park w/o fun to be had?
Florida 2009, is where I hit a brick wall
But I put a stone in the river, in spite of it all
Orig. lyrics in Dutch:
Daar sta je dan, bij de crematie van je pa
Na al die tijd van vluchten sta je stil en denk je na
Dit is nooit meer vla, nooit meer vla voor de tv
Nooit meer samen, nooit meer samen kijken naar DWDD
Nooit meer dansen in het huis
En nooit meer klappen met een vuist
Misschien was het niet juist
Maar ik mis ons, en ik mis thuis
Daar sta je dan, bij de crematie van je ma
Allemaal huilende gezichten, maar dat vond ik best normaal
En ze was zo'n lieve vrouw, nog zoveel dat ik zeggen wou
Van het spijt me, en sorry, maar mijn hart die is nu koud
Voor jou bewaar ik mijn geduld in een kistje, onder me bed
Maar wat is een pretpark, een pretpark zonder pret
Florida 2009, daar, daar kwam ik mezelf tegen
Maar heb een steen verlegd in de rivier
En dat ondanks alle regen

Joost!! Im glad hes getting the recognition he deserves. Sure his parents are proud up there in heaven. 🩵

[@Kristina-qe5ig]

Found this yesterday. I haven‘t cried this hard for ages. I lost my dad last year after short but heavy illness, within 2 days I had to deal with his upcoming death. I didn‘t feel such a strong pain in my life before. But it must be just a glimpse of the feelings Joost must have felt and still feels. Good job man. Thank you. I send you the biggest hug I could give. You are not alone. 🫶🏼

[@lisanotti7792]

Wat is joost ook een schat❤️ dat deze jongen dit heeft moeten door staan we houden van je

[@pearvoz]

I am a sobbing mess after this. it's amazing to see someone be so open and the crowd supporting him so much 🫶

[@alexiapratt9874]

“I miss us and I miss home” broke me 😭🙏🙏

[@barbaraam7256]

Wow. Impossible to not feel the huge emotion there. Just a few people are capable of moving crowds with that much emotion. Incredible. ❤

[@florienbakker6238]

Lieve Joost, Heel knap dat jij jou verhaal durft te vertellen over zo iets gevoeligs, en ik denk dat heel Nederland en België en nog vele andere landen trots op jou zijn en niemand had jou dit Eurovisie drama gegund. 💙❤️‍🩹💙❤️‍🩹💙 love u Joost!!!!!

[@monneke12]

Een hele gevoelige jongen prachtig dat hij dit wil delen mijn traantjes vloeien mee met hem

I saw the great performance of Europapa and wanted to learn about the ending of the song and Joost, and here I am, crying

[@violetindigo8514]

I hope Joost that one day you will be albe to sing it with the peace and with only tears that would be those of touching. Knowing that your parents wherever they are now are so proud of you and these tousands people in front of you love you and support you ❤

Joost, may god bless you, my heart goes out to you

[@Lizet-tu9px]

A very touching poem

[@milie..8]

Impossible d’écouter cette musique sans avoir un pincement au cœur..

[@zowiesovanwel]

Ik moet echt elke keer huilen als ik dit hoor zo mooi en zo puur. Joost je bent oprecht een mooi persoon

[@paigesewell-qw7hr]

this made me sob, the fact that he has the courage to talk about it is amazing. I don't really like talking about this but when I was 11 I lived with my grandma and grandpa and in June my grandpa passed away because of lung cancer. this really touched me bc it's really relatable and I want to say that it's very hard to go through something like that. You can hear the pain in his voice as he cries. but Joost's parents are looking down on him and I bet they are very proud

[@Zlatawq_]

JOST, WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, PLEASE DON'T BE SAD, THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE

[@leahrabinsky87]

Zo mooi , zo diep , zo hartbrekend speciaal ❤😢 Joost Klein je bent een muzikale genie ❤

This is no joke the saddest video i have ever watched... Im writing this weeks after i first saw it because i get so emotional by this video every time, that i don't wank to watch it many times. The first time i ever watched it i didn't really get the meaning of it... But after i finally got it, i couldn't stop crying for over 3 hours. Even before... i listen a tiny glimpse of it and teared up. You helped me so much during a very difficult time in my life (finals) because every time i felt stressed or like i couldn't do it, i thought of your: Joost Klein, Droom Groot. This really helped me realise that i can do it and i am capable of dreaming big 💙 I feel very grateful that i discovered you even from eurovision, because in the end like you said: Love always wins 💙 Just know that your parents are always watching you proudly and i feel like they are really saying that its better that this happened, because you are just too big for eurovision. At least thats what i want to believe... I love you so much 💙 May we continue laughing at your onion jokes and crying through your music= art. And as always Droom Groot, Thank you 💙💙💙 Ps: Your new music video Luchtballoon is fire🔥 I could talk about all of its deeper meanings, but that would probably take me forever, so yeah LOVE 💙

Would love to know, what he said the few minutes before this, my dutch is unfortunately miserable

[@royvanrijn]

He says something like: I want to share a poem. One I wrote just after my father passed, and the second part of the poem, on the other side of the sheet, I wrote the very next year. So please, hold someone, with consent obviously, someone next to you, or, if you’re here alone, hold yourself, again with consent… this is the story about Florida.

Tjonge, je bent wel diep gezonken als je deze onzin plaatst.

[@joanbuteijn8558]

Onzin ? Lijkt me niet niks als je zo vroeg beide ouders verliest. En als je zo weinig familie hebt is t toch niet raar dit met je fans te delen ? Zeker geen onzin.

[@leahrabinsky87]

Onzin ??? Dit is een pure meesterwerk uit het diepste van de menselijke emotie , schaam je !

[@Jenkins808]

Ik schaam me kapot in jouw plaats en hoop dat jij nooit zo een shit moet meemaken #pinofshame

@@joanbuteijn8558 zie je bericht nu pas. Ik ben ook een wees vanaf mijn kindertijd. Dat je dan een dom pak aan trekt en e.o.a. dom “ liedje” “ zingt”. Maar ja het past in de woke wereld, kijk naar de winnaar. ☠️

This was soooo cringy to watch lol

Ur messed up

[@moxxiloquita2048]

Why is he fake crying? I mean serious he does this every time at every performance.... that's what it is, a performance. Because after that he just goes on doing what he supposed to do. Eventually everyone knows this are fake years, part of the show.....

[@noneofyerbeeswax8194]

Just another product of the music industry.

[@bonnietolsma4184]

I don't think you have any experience with grief? That never really goes away. That remains emotional, especially when it concerns your parents and at such a festival with all that audience. But as an artist you also have to pick yourself up again. You can only judge it when you are grieving yourself.

[@Jenkins808]

He lost both his parents on a young age in a short time and is standing in front of so many ppl living his dream but without the 2 most important ppl in his life performing such an emotional song adressing just that. If you still don't understand you're just short-sightedly restarded or plane autistic.
