Kishi Bashi • "Manchester"Recap slot: 3:27+
This song by American singer Kishi Bashi is about his love for the city of Manchester (and England in general) and he wrote it while touring there. In an interview he stated the following:
"It was my first time in Manchester, and England in general was still very exotic to me. It was kind of gritty and had a very colorful spirit. I was suffering from insomnia and I just felt compelled to create at that moment. it was a very creative time for me, despite the insomnia."
The poetic lyrics combined with the beautiful instrumentation create a, in my opinion, wonderful song and the topic of a city makes it even more unique.

Week 4 - Queens in the City Sykur - Reyjkavik Recap - 1:09+ This song really defines Reyjkavik and its location and surroundings, not only that, its a very fun song and very unqiue to the competition. Also Icelandic will be coming to DSR which is quite unique to see.
These lyrics especially capture the esscence and meaning of Reyjkavik and the song.
You’re in Reykjavík
Going along Laugarvegur
I know it will capture many
The terns are crying
O, the Reykjavík night is like no other
I wanna go to Reyjkavik now, who wants to join me?
Full Lyrics; (In English)
Heels that rise by the mountain peaks,
they swim in the smoke that will form
chaos
as they wished for
Beautiful in colour, you wait, they bite
it stings, they bicker
take every golden opportunity
an evening like this
Beaten up from pressure
Of a price with a sword
what I did was everything, ha
boy, nothing for you, for you you
Take me, dance, show me,
shine, rummage
in old things that you find
if you work, become thin, good custom
comes down, unfortunately
Lustre and glitter that goes in your hair,
my wound
I miss with a tear
Morgan the clever
Reykjavík, you wake me up
Itches in my claws, it tickles in my toes
and the flees on the hobos
what are you looking at?
You’re in Reykjavík
Going along Laugarvegur
I know it will capture many
The terns are crying
O, the Reykjavík night is like no other
Curly hair, very high socks, she rocks
the party in the city with some nice ones
Going home with profit
Are you one of them?
Are you there?
Are you lame?
With stars in my eyes
and five thousand ghosts
She’s headed for the dance floor
No one can stop her
Come with me night catch
Or do you want to sleep? Ha, no ’cause
Reykjavík, you wake me up

WEEK FOUR Theme: Send a song about a city.
BARCELONA Click the Album cover above to listen to the song. Eleni Foureira DESCRIPTION The icon and legend that we all adore at least since last year's Eurovision Song Contest has dropped her extended play 'g-word Woman' exactly ten days ago and there is a clear stand-out track that you will enjoy at first, dance to at second and ruin your room with at third listen. It is characterised by its Mediterranean-influenced hot beats and Eleni's intriguing voice, referencing that Barcelona is the place to be as opposed to far-away California. Baby Adams, who needs California? Take me to Barcelona! It's so damn spicy and intoxicating. Unlike the rest of my fellow queens preferring to stay fairly original and alternative, I have decided to deep down the path of dance pop for this week, after all of my previous entries were very conceptual and stimulating to the mind - but the next song race superstar mustn't dwell into the indie genre every week, and this track out of all deserves to be listened to. Also, I was accused of never shutting up. Lona! Lona!

Lleuwen - Caerdydd (Cardiff)
2:58+
I have chosen this song as Lleuwen sings about Cardiff. She sings about how Cardiff is in modern day and how beautiful it is. She is able to capture the beauty of the city and sing about Cardiff in a raw form. There is not a lot explaining need as from the lyrics you are able to get the image and description of the city.
Lyrics
If you still spend your time hiding, remember, I know all the streets of your mind. I know this city, the dust and the chaos, I know the straight and narrow paths And gorgeous gardens of your skin while you sleep.
Three hundred and forty six thousand People are living in Cardiff Yet not one knows the way The way to you. Three hundred and forty six thousand.
When we were spent I went as far as I could, far away, But there was traffic on the roads and traffic on my phone. Traffic in my mind and traffic in my veins Driving me back to Cardiff - One way diversion to your kingdom.
Three hundred and forty six thousand People are living in Cardiff Yet not one knows the way The way to you. Three hundred and forty six thousand.
