Picture yourself as the captain of a clever little boat: you study every current, dodge every sandbank, even build sturdy dikes so the waves stay polite. Wat Als De Storm Komt begins with that confident spirit, then flips the map upside down with one striking question: what if the storm still hits? Stef Bos and his duet partner Fleur sing about our modern urge to outsmart life, to stay "dry in the rain," yet they remind us that the ocean of reality can always swell higher than our plans. The song’s rising chorus feels like the moment you realize your umbrella is no match for a hurricane.
Just when the lyrics reach peak uncertainty, a beacon appears: “Er zijn altijd nog helden” — there are always still heroes. These heroes steer straight through the darkness, splitting waves in search of a distant light. The message lands with a splash of hope: yes, we may be small against the elements, but courage, solidarity, and a helping hand can haul us back on deck. The track is both a cautionary tale about overconfidence and a warm reassurance that when the storm comes, we are never truly alone.
