In commemoration of our 10th () anniversary of being a part of NSC a couple days ago, a little recap of our past 34 entries:

​

You've been one of my favourite nations of all time, happy 10 years

Happy Birthday Orangualia! We feel so privileged to have debuted in the same era as you guys.

We raise a toast to our long lasting diplomatic friendship and togetherness!

UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the act previously slated to represent in the 206th edition of NSC has been forced to pull out, though it remains to be seen if they will return to participate in the future.

I briefly considered sending this 2 years ago, and after revisiting it, decided that now is the time.

The Veils
Total Depravity

[Leaf]

I discovered this a few months ago, and I don't remember the last time I was so instantly enamoured with a song upon the first listen. There's not too much info on the duo behind it; they dropped a four-song EP nine years ago then disappeared, and all they ever really revealed about themselves was their initials. I hadn't considered this as an entry at first, but I got back into it just recently and figured I had to share it.

Lovelier Other
Leave This Behind

 

[Leaf]

every once in a long while I feel a motivation to share our entry in thread...and here we are



A couple of weeks ago I saw this post on social media about a band that would be playing a free show near me. Although I'd never heard of them, I was interested in going just because, so I decided to familiarize myself with their discography beforehand. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it in the end, but I was immediately hooked by one of their songs in particular and it's been my most played track since discovering it, making it the perfect candidate for this edition.

Walter Astral
Mirage

So this edition marks our 100th final! I never really imagined making it this far when I joined. As a PQ, I wondered if I should pick something 'special' for the milestone, like maybe an entry I'd held on to for a long time but never sent. I decided to go with a recent discovery that has quickly become one of my favourite songs of the decade, and—even though it's only April—will almost surely end up as my top track of the year.

Waiting for tomorrow
Caught in yesterday
No one left to follow
Tides are going to change

Looking out the window
Seems so far away
Calling out for help
It never comes my way
It never comes my way

Ride 'til the morning
See the open door
Ready for the action
It couldn’t be much more
I’m staring at my shadow
Seen you overboard
Waiting for the night
To take you out for sure

There’s God in your reflection
Somewhere down the line
The chaos of the water
Is where we come alive

So tell me you’re a demon
We’ve drifted worlds apart
Isn’t it forever?
It isn’t going to last

It isn’t going to last
It isn’t going to last
That’s all I know
It’s all I know

Ride 'til the morning
See the open door
Waiting for the action
It couldn’t be much more
I’m staring at my shadow
Seen you overboard
Waiting for the night
To take you out for sure

I will find you

Terrific nation, congrats on the huge milestone! I even remember the VanityEdge days with Låpøtré...!
