LATVIA

I'm gonna take a HUGE risk (last place kinda risk) this edition by sending a song that is probably the most overused latvian song in song contests... I never use overused songs anywhere, but this one and only time I'm taking this risk, because I've always wanted to use this song somewhere... unfortunately it was quite overused already by the time I started taking part in any contest, so I was always gonna be late to the party...

P.S. I will completely understand if some of you don't vote for this song, because it's overused... like I said, I've just always wanted to use this song somewhere at some point and so I'm doing it now without any expectations for anything better than last place...

Anyway, here goes nothing...

Jenny May "Es Gribu Vēl Mīlēt"

(2:09+ for recap, please)

PIC: If you have saved something from previous times I've used Jenny, then you can use the same one's... if not, it's not hard to find her pics on google
