The song is typical of the Netherlands. It is in Dutch, a music genre, the music video features mills and stunning Dutch landscapes. Eurovision is an emotional affair for Joost. As a child, he watched it together with his parents. "Parents, one day I'm going to be on Eurovision stage" and he made it. Unfortunately, his parents died when he was a child. This song is dedicated to his late father. That's why it's called EUROPAPA. The part in the song “I'm in Germany, but I'm so alone. I'm in Italy, but I still feel the pain, etc.", I feel it's directed at his parents... Joost loved his parents and still does. His lyrics are mostly very deep, but the melody is happy, danceable and the clips of his song are presented in a fun way. I'm so proud of him.

This is a really good explanation (I'm Dutch). The many associations in the lyrics make it difficult to translate it (even for me, and I'm a translator) and I feel you explained it well. Joost lost both his parents when he was 13 years old and this song - "Eurodad" - shows very well how loss feels and to walk around with all that grief.

@@lwgg742 Thank you. I've been listening to Joost for a while now, so I assumed what his song would be about. He's done about two songs in the past that are about his parents, and there's little mention of them in some of the others. The love for them is strong. Honestly, I have to translate every song of his because I don't understand Dutch or German at all and I'm thinking about his lyrics. He is an interesting and very creative artist.

Joost is a master in his lyrics and confusing people (in a good way). This song is both a tribute to his parents that passed away, as well as to the Europe he loves for its diversity, quirkiness and freedom. I believe that every European citizen can (or should) relate to this, especially in these times where the world seems to be on fire.

For me, this is the winner of Eurovision 2024. This song is a masterpiece. The meaning and message is beautiful. Europapa is Eurodad. An ode to his dad. Wjrn he was 12 years old, his dad passed away with cancer. A year later his mother also passed away. There are no borders, no limit was the message of his father, go and explore the Europe and the world. The fire in the song means he will let go of the pain of not having his parents and start a new chapter in his life. 12 points for The Netherlands. 🎉

When Joost was asked what song they should listen to in order to understand you. He answered Florida 2009 (it's about his parents) and Wachtmuziek (it's about mental health). I recommend listening to them. You have to translate it, because he sings in Dutch.

"It is an ode to my parents," explains Klein, who lost first his father and then his mother within a year when he was 12. ,,Europapa is a poem to them, that's how I write things off. Soulful music doesn't have to be soulful. I refer in the lyrics to Papaoutai by Stromae. How many people dance to that? While asking: daddy, where are you? Get it?"So his father said borders are man-made that's why he goes all over Europe too.

As a professional jazzphotographer I like only “real/good music. Joost his music is “not my cup of tea” but after seeing this video on Dutch television by Lubach, he changed for me as a Dutch Idiot to a international hero. Yes this song is related to his dad and parents and at the end the happy song changed in a sad ending instead a happy ending. That ending of the burning wood-house makes it to a winning song, because he is not allowed to make a political statement, indirectly without words he is showing the world that Europe is on fire. The war between Russia and Ukraine and the war in Israel and Hamas is a fact not mentioned but every human good working brain can make his own conclusion. Thanks Joost from the Netherlands to be important. Showing yourself in another world and “performing “ out of your comfort zone you can be successful, happy and stimulating others.

The song is actually a bit sad. As others already stated, he lost his parents at a very young age. There are a lot of double meanings / connections to his parents and surely i am missing something but ill try to name some: Like the song is called "euro-papa" because papa is dad in dutch. He is singing that he goes to other places but he feels lonely. He lost everything except time. he is struggeling He is giving people money but nobody is helping him. He went to mental healthcare but they could not help him. He is talking about the song Papaoutai from stromae. Papa outai means "dad is here" and the phrase Où t'es? Papa où t'es? means Where are you? Dad where are you? check out the lyrics of that song too :) He is also mentioning "i wont stop until they say, yes he does that very well" because he is seeking pride from his parents. The ending is pretty clear but i think he is talking to his dad and his younger him and he tells his dad that he listend to him. Also the burning picture and burning house stands for him closing that chapter and he wants to move on and dont want to feel the pain anymore. while he was in therapy they used burning stuff to let go the old
