You should also see the reaction from the Dutch professionals that were watching her, 2 out of 3 broke down in tears. It’s a very very emotional and powerful song, and I think the translation doesn’t completely do it justice, the way she subtly plays with the dutch grammar and words is amazing, this girl has a true talent.

I am actually happy to see it touches you too. I thought it was just the Dutch it would touch, but apparently it translates both in tone and in text. I still cry when listening to this song. Every time. It's healing tears though, and I don't think she truly realizes how much she touches everyone.

This song struck a chord nationally here. She wrote because her and her brother lost both of their parents during their teenage years. The music itself is kept very simple (on purpose here) but her lyrics are magical, are filled with these small details with words that sound similar but mean something different. At this point in time she wasn't a pro at all but was just dabbling in songwriting. This was a talent show that focused entirely on artists who write their own material. It actually launched several artists' careers including Maaike's. Since then she has already released two full albums and is now working on album nr. 3. You said you couldn't believe why she could sing that with such a straight face and actually that is one of remarks one of the judges on the couch actually makes, that the power of the song and its delivery is not that you see the emotion in her but that the emotion lands with the one listening / watching.
