After months of waiting finally The Netherlands released their song. Douwe Bob will represent The Netherlands at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, and be performing the song Slow Down on the stage!

 

 Douwe said about his entry: “We are all going way too fast. There is constant pressure to prove yourself.Slow Down is a protest song against myself, against the pace at which I live life in Amsterdam. When walking through the forests of Sweden, or riding a horse through the fields in Spain, a peace descends on you and you see everything in a better perspective. It is such a great feeling!”

 

 

 

I’m going nowhere and I’m going nowhere fast
I should find a place to go and rest
I should find a place to lay my head tonight

Every morning, there’s another a start
Every morning hits so hard
Guess I’m running scared, guess I’m running on empty

Mister, can you help me?
‘Cause it seems I’ve been led astray
I keep searching for an answer
For a way

Won’t you help me?

You’ve gotta slow down brother,
Slow down brother, slow down if you can’t go on
Slow down brother, slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on

Do you think I’ll ever learn?
I used to be without concern
Now all I ever do don’t seem to free me

Mister, can you help me?
‘Cause it seems I’ve been led astray
I keep searching for an answer
Today

Won’t you help me?

You’ve gotta slow down brother, slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
Slow down brother, slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
Slow down brother, slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
Slow down brother, slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
Slow down brother, slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
Slow down brother, slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
