Azerbaijani progressive metal band Midnight returns to the Retro WWWSC for the third time to participate on behalf of the country with a song "Unudulmuş" (trans: "Forgotten") Azerbaijani entry is about a man who suffering and getting forgotten throughout his life, lost all his hopes for the recovery of humanity, which is excessively obsessed with materialistic possessions and neglect the necessity of friendly human relations. Midnight - Unudulmuş Timeslot: 1:25 - 1:49 Below in the spoiler you can find the translation of the lyrics from my favourite part of the song:
Walking through the streets, nobody notices me Nobody cares about my shoutings Neither death, nor sorrow is left to me Everything surrounding me became darkened The circulation granted me only agony Everywhere, I have only seen deceit My forgotten tears perished My name was erased from papers Heaven did not accept me Hell got horrified by me My soul can't find the place it belongs to It can't belong to the eternal life
Beating heart does not heat this body anymore Everything has stopped, only questions are left to me (x2) For the picture, please click on the spoiler below:

Ireland returns
After a few editions of absence, we're back! Firstly, thanks to Niall for bringing Ireland successful results since I withdrew a while ago, including even winning the contest. And I also thank him for allowing me to take Ireland in RWWWSC
For my return, I'll be sending an artist that I already sent to WWWSC twice in editions #31 and #36, getting 24th and 4th respectively. Of course it's none other than Lesley Roy.
I used to love this song and once I found it was released in 2008, I rediscovered it and decided to send it here. In fact this was one of my earliest song contest entries, with me sending this to now closed Worldvision Song Contest #5.
"I'm Gone, I'm Going"
Release date: 19th May 2008 Timeslot: 1:54-

Germany At first I was weirded out when this was suggested to me, since to me the band only has a weak connection to Germany. However, after considering the suggestion, I decided to send them after all, since Sweden doesn't take part and it'd be a shame if ABBA never get send to this contest. So despite ABBA representing Germany sounds crazy, I select them for this edition just to let them appear at least once in this contest, hope you understand my reasoning

After a relatively famous band we're moving to the top of Switzerland's music industry. Gölä - I ha di gärnIt translates to I like you, but is also used (like here), more towards "I love you" - think you all know what I mean)Timeslot: 1:36 - 2:00 ImageGölä has been famous for like 25 years years now. Despite having a bunch of hits (and nowadays classicals) this is the only one that actually went to #1. Funfact: The date it went there is 9 November 2008 (so literally 10 years ago). Despite that success, I wouldn't call it a famous song. In fact I even dare to say that I haven't heard it in years!
