The song is a deeper meaning. Not political. It’s dedicated to his parents. Who both died in 1 year when he was 12 and 23 years old

Its not political at all! Maybe you should get some more information before you react!. Its about his dad. His dad died when he was 12, always telling him to spread his wings and travel the world. Watch the video again with subtitles. This is really the worst reaction video off all the 100.000 reaction videos there already are.

Maybe I should have. The lyrics could have been different, depending on how you read/listen to it. In his case it was all positive and thinking about his family, but if you read the lyrics, there are lines where you can quote about how bad Europe is (helping people, but not getting anything in return) Thats the thing about any form of art. You can listen/read it how you want it to be or what you think they mean. But I am glad that you have seen all the 100.000 reactions to know that EVERYONE had the same opinion

Breaking news from Maaskantje The hype around Joost Klein and his song Europapa continues to grow. This year's Dutch Eurovision entry entered the Top 40 out of nowhere on Friday and 'with a huge lead' at number 1. The song is also at the top of the Single Top 100 this week 'by a great distance'. The performance in the Top 40 is historic. It has never happened before that a Eurovision Song Contest entry reached number 1 in the Netherlands before the actual party. No Eurovision Song Contest song has ever come to number one out of nowhere. Success seems to be only the beginning for Europapa. The song is currently the most popular song on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and Deezer in the Netherlands. Joost is also number 1 in Spotify in Belgium. The clip is currently the number 1 trending video on KZbin and is approaching eight million views. Maaskantje gabber newspaper agency.

This song has a deeper meaning. 'Papa' is translated 'dad' in dutch. Joost lost his dad to cancer when he was 12 and his mom a year later because of a cardiac arrest. When he was younger he watched the Eurovision with his parents and said “I’m gonna sing at Eurovision one day”. Joost sings that no matter where he goes or what he eats, he can not escape the pain of this loss. In the end he says goodbye to the pain of his loss by burning the photo, without losing the memory. This song is also an ode to Europe. His dad told him that it’s a world without borders, because borders are invented by humans. And that you can create your own world. The dance break is happy hardcore - a music style that was invented in the Netherlands, also called gabber music. Bringing a personal loss, the feeling of Europe and the dutch culture together; that is art. The lyrics have a lot of layers: Europe let’s come together! It’s now or never! I love you all! Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Visit my friends in France Or take a long walk to Vienna I want to leave the Netherlands But my passport is gone Fortunately don't need a visa To be with you So take the bus to Poland Or the train to Berlin I have no money for Paris So use my imagination Do you have a euro please Say "merci" and "please" I lost everything Except time So am travelling every day For the world is mine Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Eu-ro-pa! Ich bin in Deutschland Aber Ich bin so allein Io sono in Italia but still I feel pain Am running from myself Calling for "help!" all day long Yes I even give people money But there is no one to help me I don't need es-car-gots Don't need fish 'n chips Don't need paella, no I don't even really know what that is Turn on the radio I hear Stromae with "Papaoutai" Won't stop until they say "Yes, yes, he does that very well ey!" Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Eu-ro-pa! Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa…. Welcome in Europe boy! At the end of the day We are all human beings My father once told me It's a world without borders I miss you every day Is what I secretly whisper You see dad I listened to you Is what I secretly whisper You see dad I listened to you

Not political. Just not. It is about seeing the world without thinking in boundaries and limits, as his father told him. He does, in a practical way by travelling through the Schengenzone (without borders) as an example, but still cannot outrun the emotional pain. And it is not about getting anything in return for his money or the something to do with EU. He means he can help other people with money, but no one can help him with his emotional burden (traumatic youth). The burning in the end, is the closure of the painfull past.

That words can have different meanings, doesnt mean my english is bad. Burn dutch windmills could be a symbol of moving on, but it can also be a big middle finger to the country. Its just the way you look at it COULD I be wrong? Ofcourse. But if words, footage etc can be interpretet differently, there is no real wrong answer

@@Zehlia thats a fallacy, and you know it- not only are you mixing up visual symbolism with lyricism, its a misuse of the ambiguity fallacy. Honestly, if you want to argue that you have issues with equivocation, thats fine. But to imply that there is a objective vagueness in the words is a vast overstatement.

No it is about his personal story. The end is symbolic. He burns his grief And chooses life He means it in a way that wherever he goes he takes his feelings of grief that is why he burns that part of the past. You misunderstood the message The nineties vibe is nostalgic but also very popular all over Europe But it has nothing to do with politics. The songfestival is about people coming together to celebrate. Connection!

Oh my god this guy is projecting his personal political views on Joost and this song. Maybe he should read the liner notes at the Eurovision site and get a deeper understanding. The only thing weird is what he’s saying. It’s totally beyond me how he, as a Dutch person who’s fluent in the language cannot see it for what it is. I think Germans would call this too much hineininterpretieren.

Right, cause its always the way it is? Ask Russia or even some 'peaceful' countries in Asia. They only get news/info what they are allowed to get. And it wouldnt be the first time that politics were involved during Eurovision (either with some songs or with rules). My personal politics are far from this. I do think that some things do need to change, so im not sticking my head in some pink clouds
