Imagine rushing into the emergency room, not with chest pain but with too much love. That is exactly the comic-tragedy De Dijk paints in “Groot Hart.” The narrator pleads with a doctor for a cure, confessing that his heart is so enormous that he instantly falls for every woman he meets. From mistaking a tree for a boyfriend to getting hit by cars because he is busy swooning, his oversized affection turns ordinary mornings into slapstick disasters.
Behind the humor lies a tender truth: having a “big heart” means living wide-open to the world, and that vulnerability can hurt almost as much as it delights. De Dijk’s lyrics celebrate boundless empathy and romantic optimism while winking at the chaos it creates. It is a feel-good reminder that loving freely is risky, hilarious, and brilliantly human.
