WWW Song Contest #92

[ferrygraf]

Welcome to  Kotka! Here in this thread you can discuss everything about our 92nd Edition! 

The submissions officially start now! Deadline: 8th of July @ 22:00 CET!


The rules of the last editions apply, here they are:

IMPORTANT: Confirming isn't enough, just a submitted song guarantees your place in the upcoming edition! Only the first 51 spots are safe, the people submitting afterwards will take part in a Pre-Qualification Round and compete for the 3 remaining spots, making it a field of 54 in the "main competition"! The maximum number of entries so that there is no Pre-Qualification Round is 55.

Already reserved are the hosts, the Top 3 from last edition and those who voted as members in the Rest of The World Jury last edition. If any of these fail to submit an entry in time, the reserved place will be lost.

We're looking forward to receiving your entries!  

If you want, you may include a timeslot/recap part in your post; note that 24 seconds of each entry are played in the recap.

Timeslots should ideally be added before the submission deadline, otherwise they might not be considered for the recaps anymore!


Please notice this new rule: 

Songs that have more than 100 Million views on Youtube are not allowed to compete. Official videos as well as other videos with a respectable amount of views are taken into account, the sum of views of these videos is decisive.

If you plan to permanently withdraw or to skip this edition, please let us know as early as possible.

LATVIA

For this edition, which is also our 75th anniversary edition, I've selected a returning artist that took part 26 editions ago. But unlike last time, this time I'll use a song in latvian language and it's a pretty deep one. I hope you'll like it

Little description of what this song is about:

You might be wondering, why is he in a boat rowing through a swampy area?
Here's what the author of the song says about it: "For each of us, the day has come or will come when we decide to make a self-growth assessment - to list what has already been done, to come to terms with the overdue and to commit to moving on, continuing the same or choosing a different path. This song will probably resonate the most with those who have experienced such a period relatively recently. I urge those who are still ahead of the process to prepare in time for self-examination and to do so honestly and fully.”

I hope this explanation gives a better idea of this song and the music video.

P.S. I actually agree with the top comment under the video - it says: "We each have our own swamp, through which we wander and seek the meaning of our lives." So yeah, this is basically the idea of the song and the music video.

Neon Saturdays - "Nekad Nekad"

After flopping pretty hard in last edition, I decided to send song which is pretty different from my last entries.
And singer is someone you could remember, but not because of WWWSC participation...
