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​

It stuns me that this is still outside the Top 10 with the bookies. Her hair alone deserves a win in Turin.

 

[Looren]

Do you think it is enough to qualify? I think we will miss the votes of Germany and Belgium in this semi-final.

I think it qualifies easily and gets a top 10 in the final

Stunning live

 

[mauve]

This gave me major Dark horse alert.
Shes special

Absolutely stunning and beautiful. This is high on my list, but I am afraid that it may not qualify. Will people vote for this? I really hope so!

I also like it, but for some reason I also can see a 2017 scenario happen.

That's what I am afraid of.

I can't see how this wouldn't qualify. Jury support alone would probably be enough. I think this has a great chance of getting top 5 in the jury vote in the final.

My first 12 this year

 

[QuirkyYodel]

Does anyone know what this genre of music in particular is called? The guitars, the atmospheric chorus… give me a whole album of De Dieptes!

 

[Funix]

First time I listened to Netherlands this year my reaction was rather meh. But after a couple of relistnings, because the song somehow was sticking to my head, I must admit: I'm in love with Netherlands this year, and I will not be surprised if this is the winner of Eurovision this year. A sad themed song for a sad year, but in the good way

Maybe she is using the same hair products as Meghan Markle?

 

[VikingTiger]

Another really solid entry from the Netherlands. And that voice!! S10s voice is the real icing on the cake here!

 

[DanielLuis]

Look at the songs we already have for the first semi-final, especially the ones in the first half, where the Netherlands are placed. This is a surefire qualifier.

 

[midnightsun]

Do you think it is enough to qualify?

Definitely. It‘s a simple melody so people will grab it easily. It could get a bit tricky if it‘s placed between two uptempo dance bangers but we don‘t have a lot of these as of now, so…

 

[ZoboCamel]

I love the verses here; they've got a great, intimate feeling to them, and a sense of quality I haven't really felt in many songs this year at all. The choruses, in comparison, lose a bit of that intimate feeling and kind of just plod along... but they're still probably a little above average in my book. And I wish the song would grow some more throughout, but again, that's not a complete dealbreaker. I think I'll give this an for now and see whether it's a grower or a fader going forward.

P.S. I really don't see this struggling to qualify. Televote is hard to predict, but I doubt it'll be *too* terrible given the promising live performance, and regardless that shouldn't matter too much given that this feels like the SF1 jury winner out of the songs we have so far. It could very well lose out to one or two of the not-yet-revealed internal selections; but regardless I think this is safe enough off the back of jury votes alone. Of the 11 SF1 songs we know so far, I reckon this is one of only three "safe" – let's say, 80% chance or more – qualifiers, alongside Albania and Norway (plus Ukraine, if they're able to perform in May. Fingers crossed.)

 

[lasse braun]

the bookies are still very lazy.

 

[popavapeur]

I really like it, I think it's one of the best entries we have so far. I don't think it's winner material though but it could totally be higher than what most people expect. I don't rule out a top 3 spot for example.

 

[Kitakaze]

Loving this more and more, especially after having seen it performed so well. Dark horse for sure.

 

[Iker]

I have watched her very recent live performance and I was satisfied. S10 can sing live very well!

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

This is a very positive surprise. When I learned they were sending something in Dutch I suspected they were just winging it but it's actually an ambitious effort. Well to be fair I got distracted the first time I tried to listen to it and couldn't remember anything about it but it picked up from the second listen.
The Dutch language can be very challenging to showcase properly and here it blends very well and gives a little mysteriousness to the song. Didn't need both the oohs and the lalalalas though. With good staging could be finish very high, probably they will leave it to mr Panckaces again so it's a lottery. The live performance was good, she needs to connect a little more to get televote, currently she seems to be a fan of the typical stone-cold Dutchface which doesn't help a lot.

Fantastic entry from a fabulous artist.You just know she will be superb at ESC.I think it will be between this and Greece to win the jury in the semi,and whoever does will be the likely challenger to Ukraine and maybe Italy in the final.
This is the only real solid jury song so far,but Greece should also be there as well if potential is reached.
