The Netherlands NETHERLANDS 2022 - S10 - De Diepte

[escYOUnited]

Ken je het gevoel dat
Dat je droom niet uitkomt
Ben je wel eens bang
Dat het altijd zo blijft
Want het regent alle dagen
En ik zie geen hand voor ogen
Jij en ik toch samen?
Dat zou altijd zo zijn

Hier in de diepte hoor ik steeds maar weer je naam
Oh mijn lief wat moet ik nou
ik zit diep en ik wil jou niet laten gaan

Ik schuil onder de tafel
En ik hoop dat jij me vind
Ik wacht al heel de avond
Oh ik lijk wel een kind
Ik bijt weer op mijn tong
En ik weet dat jij dat ook doet
Maar god, wat moet ik anders
Wanneer is het genoeg

Hier in de diepte hoor ik steeds maar weer je naam
Oh mijn lief wat moet ik nou
Ik zit diep en ik wil jou niet laten gaan
Nee, nee, nee, nee
Jou niet laten gaan

Hier in de diepte hoor ik steeds maar weer je naam
Oh mijn lief wat moet ik nou
Ik zit diep en ik wil jou niet laten gaan​

 

[NikolaiMoller]

my family all said this gave them winner vibes

 

[Milos-BC]

I missed the "wow" effect, but she was great, one of the best performances in semi 1, for sure.

I don't think it will win, but a top 10 should be certain.

 

[Miloutchi]

I saw her today in Turin! She was so friendly and relaxed. I really hope she can get a top 10 result. Her song deserves it.

 

[Reinventor]

Top 10 would be amazing for a song in Dutch. And both the song as herself (I'm so impressed how she manages to do it all while knowing what's she's been through) deserve it.

 

[skateaway994]

For me it is by far the best song of this year. I hope it can stand some chance to win.

 

[harey]

To me it's like arcade but in Dutch with the kind of energy it gives. (something very soft, well made.)

My favourite part of the performance was the part when we can see that she's about to cry and her voice cracks, at this exact moment I felt something this song never gave me before. (I basically just like it.)

With a flat staging like this and the first half running order, I think other ballads will do better with both the juryvote and the televote. I guess this is something a lot of people like, but not that much to really vote for it. And for the juries, there are ballads with better vocals than this one.

My guess would be 7-10 with the juries, 12-15 with the televotes.

I think she will be this year's Blanche: great song, shaky performance but a top 5 result.

Better vocals does not always equal better performance though. If you can convey emotions better, you'll win points regardless. And you can be vocally perfect but cold.

 

[dogmeat]

Can't stop watching her semifinal performance
Such a beautiful, touching, emotional song. And after finding out it's about fighting depression, I love it even more!

Do you know that feeling, when your dream does not come true
Are you sometimes scared that it will always stay the same
Because it rains every day and you don’t see anything at all
You and I together, that would be forever

Tadada dadadadada, dada dadadadadada
Tadada dadadadadada
Oohoo aha
Here in the deep I hear your name over again
Ooh aha
Oh my love what do I do
I am deep and I don’t want to let you go

I hide underneath the table and I hope you find me
I’ve waited the whole evening already, oh I’m like a child
I grit my teeth and I know you do that too
But God what else can I do, when is it enough

Tadada dadadadada, dada dadadadadada
Tadada dadadadada da
Oohoo aha
Here in the deep I continue to hear your name
Ooh aha
Oh my love what do I do
I am deep and I don’t want to let you go

No no, no no
Don’t want to let you go

Tadada dadadadada, dada dadadadadada
Tadada dadadadada da
Oohoo aha
Here in the deep I continue to hear your name
Oohoo aha
Oh my love what do I do
I am deep and I don’t want to let you go

Oh man, these lyrics really hit me. The way she refers to the concept of self-love by addressing the song to herself, "oh my love"... And how depression can make you lose your own self, yet "I don't want to let you go"... She's open about having struggled with mental health in her teens, so it is all genuine and personal. No wonder she seemed so authentic from the start, this song is straight from the heart

Hi, fellow Eurofans! I would like to ask you if there are places in the Netherlands were open air screenings are organized for tomorrow's final, preferably not in Amsterdam. Me and my friends are currently road tripping in the country and would love to watch the final together with other people
I wish the best of luck to the Dutch song, one of my absolute favourites this year!

 

[musicfan]

This one grew on me, the last Dutch entry I particularly liked was OG3NE. Looks like they are pretty good when they stick a number in their name. Hoping for a very high finish.

 

[midnightsun]

Good luck, S10. Some of my votes will go to you tonight. You and Ochman are my top 2 and I don’t want to decide which one's #1 because you‘re both so good but I'm crossing my fingers you'll get an amazing result tonight.

 

[grazy2266]

I will be sending some of the votes your way this evening, good luck

 

[PhoenixAscends]

My personal favourite, I’m not sure whether she will win, but a truly beautiful song. Good luck Netherlands from your friends in the UK

 

[musicfan]

Smoother final performance, provides a bit of variety for posterity. Whether the semi performance would have done better hard to say, as she also looked more nervous there.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

This should have at least taken the 10th position. Id be so nice to have this along with Greece and Portugal all in the top 10 coz for me this was the best song this year ( but there were much better performances ).
She still did fine with that totally empty staging tho, imagine if she had kept the laser concept.

 

[SAYAY]

Da da da da da da da da da da da da daaaaaa, neeee neee neeee neeeee this has been stuck in my head all night, love Netherlands and I am sure I will listen to this entry a lot in the future

She lost a top 10 because her placing between Spain and Ukraine.
