Latvia LATVIA 2018 - Laura Rizzotto - Funny Girl

[escYOUnited]

LYRICS (Click Spoiler)

Ain't it funny, ain't it funny
Oh, it all started as a joke
But now I'm falling, now I'm falling
The punch line is getting old

Cause I've been keeping to myself
For way too long, yeah

Ain't it funny, ain't it funny
I made you laugh every time we spoke
I locked my heart in hesitation
But somehow, you cracked the code

I tore down my walls
Wrecked the ceiling
Ready to bare it all, but

You're looking at her, she's looking at you
I'm falling apart, what can I do
To make you feel that way about me too?

And it's getting hard, I'm not gonna lie
To keep in the dark all I'm feeling inside
When you walk in smelling like her perfume

What was I thinking?
I'm just the funny girl to you

Can you see me, can you see me
Like a fire rising in the smoke?
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Open up with every note?

Cause I've been playing to myself
For way too long

Oh, I tore down my walls
And I wrecked the ceiling
Ready to bare it all
What was I thinking?

You're looking at her, she's looking at you
I'm falling apart, what can I do
To make you feel that way about me too?

And it's getting hard, I'm not gonna lie
To keep in the dark all I'm feeling inside
When you walk in smelling like her perfume

What was I thinking?
I'm just the funny girl to you

So tell me what you're looking for
I promise you, I got it all
What does it take to make you see?
I am right here

And if you ever need to cry
I'll be the one who makes you laugh
Yeah, I'll be your funny girl
Your funny girl

You're looking at her, she's looking at you
I'm falling apart, what can I do
To make you feel that way about me too?

And it's getting hard, I'm not gonna lie
To keep in the dark all I'm feeling inside
When you walk in smelling like her perfume

What was I thinking?
I'm just the funny girl to you

Re: LATVIA 2018

Supernova was by far an away the best quality national final in 2017. Hoping that next year is a) more of the same and b) an event I can actually make it to next year

Re: LATVIA 2018

Please, Anmary's comeback.

Re: LATVIA 2018

Samanta Tina, Sabine Berezina, Antra Stafecka or Markus Riva

Re: LATVIA 2018

Barring the unlikely Aminata/Prāta Vētra/Musiqq comeback, I don't have much hope for Latvia next year. Maybe Dons will try again? It will have been years since Pēdējā vēstule was robbed so I could see it happening, and results from countries like Belarus this year show there is the possibility for songs in less-spoken languages such as Latvian to do well. As long as it's not Markus Riva or Samanta Tina I'll be happy though.

Re: LATVIA 2018

Latvia will use Supernova once again, but this time with a rule change: Foreign composers might be part of the composing team, as long as their work is only, at maximum, 30% of the final artistic rights.
LTV will also hold a writing camp in the next month.

Re: LATVIA 2018

Mad Show Boys - Laiva
Samanta Tina - Divi cilvēki
MNTHA - IKA
Markus Riva - I'll never let you go

Re: LATVIA 2018

Yeeeees this has made my week!

The first song, You Are My World, is really good. Will try and have my say on all of the songs this week

Re: LATVIA 2018

esamība is my favourite by far. have to say i'm pretty disappointed by the mntha song though

 

[AlekS]

Re: LATVIA 2018

Sapņu dziesma ftw!

MNTHA's song sounds like a demo. Lots of Swedish rejects, 1 Spanish reject that had sex with Despacito. Markus Riva hit a new low. The biggest improvement was made by Edgars Kreilis.

Re: LATVIA 2018

A new Samanta Tina song is one of my personal highlights of every Esk season, and she hasn't disappointed with this, probably the most creative entry into her oeuvre. I love how sparse the verses sound and the simplicity and consistency of the melody. Samanta ftw

 

[kopachka]

Re: LATVIA 2018

I gave 'like' to Flashbacks, Funny Girl, Baltic, Ocean of Pain, If There Is No Love. Still haven't listened to all though, but for now it's not really enjoyable.

Re: LATVIA 2018

Haven't listened to all the songs, but from what I've heard, "Baltic" is the standout. There are a few creditable songs, but this one stands out the most. Love the sax parts.

Which song is Samanta?

Re: LATVIA 2018

So, if you are not FB or twitter-user - there is no chance of listening to the songs? xdown

Divi cilvēki is either her or a really good imposter.

Re: LATVIA 2018

Some real gems there, but, as it is Latvia, there's a lot of awful ones with convoluted names. It's a very interesting way to choose the songs that go through, I respect LTV for a novel approach like this!

You can also be on Draugiem!!

Re: LATVIA 2018

I love the song titles like War of flame or Ocean of pain so over the top
