Thank you from the Netherlands! Indeed the song was dedicated to his parents who passed away when he was 12-13 yo. He promised them he would one day make it to the Eurovision stage and he did, a lifelong dream come true, sadly for all of us and especially him, it ended a nightmare. The video in the background actually tells his life story and how he's still trapped in the past and connects to the lyrics (the original music video shows even more of this), it's quite deep. The PS2 style graphics are a recurring theme. The dance break is a Dutch thing, something we call "hakken", a rave dance style from the 90s. The mention of Papaoutai holds meaning as it is something he connects to, growing up without a dad. It might be fun to check out the song Luchtballon by Joost as well - it actually is a big finger at the EBU and gives us a glimpse on how he will continue after the pain inflicted. In it he even sampled a really nice hopeful mention another channel made in a reaction to this song before the contest.
Gaan we hier gratis Friesland lopen verkondigen . Je weet dat die mensen fout waren in de oorlog . Joost zijn ouders zijn niet dood, gewoon terug gevlucht naar Duitsland .
