I wouldn't be surprised at all if this ends up in the upper half of the table. Both tables. ;)

Nice ballad however Im personally more in to a more up tempo song.....the are so many ballads this year that ESC could be boring ......... Finland becomes more and more my favorite ...... we need a wake up song..

Is this a slight revamp? I'm pretty sure I can hear a bunch more instruments in here, particularly strings. It sounds good!

yes it is. fortunately they didn't change much but kept the intimacy. a great song! Touches me!xlove

Don't know why, but I suddenly got Netherlands 2014 vibes from this. I may be wrong of course, since I'm not entirely objective (I love Greece & Cyprus).

Sadly, amongst all of the other entries this one has become rather unnoticeable. I dont think it's as good as Paradise Oskar. I give it 6 points.

I also think this songs deserves more attention. It deals with the theme of lost love in a very open and honest way. I think from the point of lyrics this is one of the most touching ballads this year - far away from drama, with very simple words. Also the melody and the voice are pleasant to listen to. It all fits together and hopefully it can stand out by these qualities. cross my fingers for cyprus this year. xcrossed

A beautiful song. Sadly uneventful and boring. It is going to be tough for Cyprus 4pts

As this is the only slow song, as long as they stick to a simple presentation, maybe as he can sing quite well, strip it back to the guitar, and lengthen the acapella section, this might qualify. I quite like it.

The lyrics are actually incredibly bleak and depressing - "in your hour of need, I didn't come, that's the one thing I should have done":(
Did his lover die or something?

Agreed. Definitely one of the my biggest favourites this year. I think he will pull an amazing performance live and qualify with ease.

Lovely song, I like listening to it and I'm one of those people that do hear magic in it. I hope enough people will feel the same way and send it to the final. :)

I don't know if anyone mentioned this already, but it kind of reminds me of Norway 2003. Not just as powerful, but relatively similar, even the mood, surprisingly, considering:

Giannis: Tonight the rain is falling, I’m feeling cold
And I’m out of my mind without you


Jostein: And I hold her now, when the rain starts to fall
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to move on


:D
