WEEK EIGHT

Theme: Send a Eurovision song from Estonia.

RÄNDAJAD by Urban Symphony

ESTONIA 2009

Timeslot 1:26+

DESCRIPTION

This song is a staple Eurovision song and in my opinion one of the two really remarkable Estonian entries that I absolutely adore to this day. Rändajad runs shivers down my spine and I still remember how much in awe I was, directly assuming that Estonians are just like the song: mysterious, deep and all fat like Mark!

See on tee, Nad rändavad nii päevast päeva
See on tee, Nad rändavad siis ajast aega
See on tee, Ta nähtamatu rajana kulgeb
Nende ees, Ta ootab kui riskida julged

The ominous stage presence of Urban Symphonies just adds to the majestic presence of the song.

Armenia
Inga and Anush • "Jan Jan"


Recap slot: 1:13+

I decided to go with Armenia's 2009 entry because it's probably the most unique song the country ever sent. My other alternatives I shortly considered were 2008, 2016 and 2017 but to me this song represents Armenia as a country, it combined traditional, ethnic elements with modern sounds and generally Inga and Anush are what S!sters tried to be but couldn't. Additionally, I don't think the song is a too obvious choice (like 2008 or 2016 would've been) and yet it still remains very iconic. Personally I'd love for Armenia (and other countries) to send more major ethnic bops like this.

CAND ICE MOLLY STERLING • "PLAYING WITH NUMBERS" (2:39+) (S06E08, EUROVISION FEST) Do I owe you something? I think I do They tied our hands But I cut through In the arms of the potion They found our truth And I made a girl Abandoned youth And I made the mess in your vision And I see a debt to be paid To give a little love was all I wanted Give a little love was all my intent And I was playing with numbers And I didn't know what it meant Please don't remind me I won't be your muse Fragile misguided minds like mine Only know how to use Oh, while I played with white lies and fiction Unbeknownst to you I played the victim Well that was the last time I faced you And I made the mess in your vision And I see a debt to be paid To give a little love was all I wanted Give a little love was all my intent And I was playing with numbers And I didn't know what it meant I can watch from afar, from my art on my own All along I was lost, I was wild, this is wrong I can't force this, just watch as the surface surrenders it all I made the mess in your vision And I see a debt to be paid To give a little love was all I wanted Give a little love was all my intent I was playing with numbers And I didn't know what it meant

For this week, I wanted to go with something I like and I feel connected to. At first I did not find the song that interesting but during rehearsals this grew on me so much, and it's one of my favorite Irish entries in Eurovision. "Playing With Numbers" was one of the biggest robberies back in 2015, and her voice is so captivating and her live performance gave the audience an emotional impact with this magical performance, that should have seen Ireland back in the final.

"Birds"
Anouk

2:32+

Birds is by far one of the best entries  The Netherlands have sended in the past decade, it's just so magical and her voice is so pure and full of emotion. I can even say it is one of my favourite eurovision entries ever that I still listen to occasionally. Netherlands had some amazing entries in the last 10 years, but for me this one still stands out as a very special and unique one (and should have placed higher in 2013)! As my wig flew of once they finally qualified for the final that year and started an amazing streak of results!

"L'ENFER ET MOI" Amandine Bourgeois

LYRICS Tu m’as mise K.O. d’entrée Il faut croire que j’ai bien aimé Liens de cuir et mains de soie Qui blesses-tu et dans quel port? Jusqu’à faire rougir l’aurore Tu m’as jeté comme un sort Je vais te faire l’enfer De là où tu te perds Regarde bien derrière Et ce sera moi Tu m’as fait pleurer à vif Mon cou porte encore ta griffe J’aimais échanger de peau No limits, c’est un classique J’aimais nos amours toxiques Celles qui font que tout est beau Je vais te faire l’enfer De là où tu te perds Regarde bien derrière Je vais te faire l’enfer De là où tu te perds Regarde bien derrière Et ce sera moi J’vais te faire l’enfer Tu vas manquer d’air À moins une, à moins que On s’retrouve à deux À moins qu’il nous faille Renoncer aux batailles (Je vais te faire l’enfer) J’vais te faire l’enfer Tu vas manquer d’air À moins une, à moins que Qu’on s’retrouve à deux À moins qu’il nous faille Renoncer aux batailles (Je vais te faire l’enfer) J’vais te faire l’enfer Tu vas manquer d’air À moins une, à moins que Qu’on s’retrouve à deux À moins qu’il nous faille Renoncer Je vais te faire l’enfer

"Eurovision Fest"




It's finally Eurovision week and I chose the beautiful Balkan nation of Romania. Romania has had many great entries throughout their run in Eurovision. I decided to choose my favorite Romanian entry ever and I hope you also enjoy it!



Song:



Romania Eurovision 2012: Mandinga "Zaleilah"







(2:45-3:00)



Why this song?:



Zaleilah is actually my favorite Romanian entry ever. When it came out in 2012, it was my winner for the entire contest! 2012 was the first year I watched Eurovision live and I remember this song so well. Also, it's a bop! I love how she sings in a language besides English or Romanian. It shows the true meaning of Eurovision, which is cultural exchange. She gives us Spanish vibes but with a Romanian flare. 2012 had some of the best songs in all of Eurovision so I am happy to share my favorite with you. I hope you enjoy and relive this lit bop!

 Week 8 ♦ Eurovision Fest ♦

Horehronie By Kristina Pelakova (2010)


Of the few slovakian entries defintely my favorite, it was totally underrated in it's edition getting only 16th in it's semifinal. The song has a deep connection with nature and state of mind, it mystical rhythms really puts an atmosphere to this amazing, simply the best slovakian entry

Na tráve ležím a snívam oči tíško plačú

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie


I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, my eyes are crying softly

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point


Lyrics Slovakian & English :

SPOILER: Click to show

Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní chce sa mi spievať, zomrieť aj žiť

Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní túžim sa k nebu priblížiť

Na tráve ležím a snívam o čom sama neviem

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie



Najkrajšie stromy sú na Horehroní to tiché bratstvo vraví mi poď

Sem sa vždy vrátim keď ma niečo zroní, vravia to stromy: z pliec to zhoď

Na tráve ležím a snívam o čom sama neviem

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie



Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní tam niekde v ďiaľke náš zvon zvoní

Keď má ma to bolieť tak nech ma bolí raz sa to stratí do čiernej hory

Na tráve ležím a snívam oči tíško plačú

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie



Na tráve ležím a snívam oči tíško plačú

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie



Najkrajšie stromy sú na Horehroní







English Translation



Horehronie



When the sun goes down in Horehronie, I want to sing, die and live

When the sun goes down in Horehronie, I wish I could get closer to the sky

I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, of what, I don’t even know myself

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point



The most beautiful trees are in Horehronie, a silent brotherhood is telling me: come

I come back here when I feel sad, the trees are saying: shake it off

I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, of what, I don’t even know myself

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point



When the sun goes down in Horehronie, out there somewhere far away our bell is ringing

When it hurts, let it hurt, one day it will vanish in the black mountain

I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, my eyes are crying softly

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point



I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, my eyes are crying softly

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point



The most beautiful trees are in Horehronie
