They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs have fun, have fun
They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep
We're living in a den of thieves

Re: USA | WV 30 | Male voice? |
After failing again I'm thinking of to send a song with a male singer, so no female singer-songwriter pop again. Could this bring the back to the final?
What do you think? What do you wish for next entry?

Re: USA | WV 30 | Male voice! But which genre? |
So as I revealed, I will choose an male artist, but I can't decide for a song. I have 3 songs, between I want to decide.
- A pop/rock song with some summer flavour
- A folk-rock song
- A rock-song, lightly driftin' to Indie
Any preferences?

Re: USA | WV 30 | SF2 | Mighty Oaks - Brother |
WV 30
Let's welcome the US artists for WV 30: The Mighty Oaks!
The Mighty Oaks are a multinational folk-band, founded and based in Berlin. Lead-singer and guitarist Ian Hooper, he also plays the mandolin, tambourine and the big drum, came from Washington State, but living in Germany since 2008. At some gigs in Hamburg he met Claudio Donzelli from Italy, who also plays guitar in addition to banjo, mandolin and keyboard, and Craig Saunders from England, who plays the bass and they founded the band in 2010. Little by little they all moved to Berlin and began to focus on her music career, after finishing their studies and apprenticeship. They released their first EP 'Just One Day' in July 2013 and it became #16 in iTunes Download charts. The single 'Brother' is from her first album called 'Howl', which made #10 in German Media Control Album Charts.
Please enjoy and vote for the Mighty Oaks in Semifinal 2! It would be great for them to see and make it both to the final and met Chvrches again, after touring together in 2012! 
Lyrics
We had howl
We had run around
In the summer in the nighttime
We made no sound
And deep in the forest we get lost
Whistle to the Birds as they call
Go on Trips
Moving with weather as it shifts
We took to the seas and let it drift
How many islands could we hear?
I'd follow you
To the end of the world if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother
I've got you
Nothing to stop us now
Because we found in life what's true
Oh my brother I'd follow you
In my faded truck
We shot across the country to find our luck
And the youth inside would scream and shout
Like a dagger in the heart we ripped it out
And we had laugh through the night
Call the star's
By the fire shining on
Through the night
We will run
To the rising life and on
Through the night
Burn the flames
The world will know our Names
And I'd follow you
To the end of the world if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother
I've got you
Nothing to stop us now
Because we found in life what's true
Oh my brother I'd follow you
I'd follow you
To the end of the world if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother
I've got you
Nothing to stop us now
Because we found in life what's true
And I will follow you!

"Raging Fire"
We are dead to rights born and raised
We are thick and thin 'til our last days
So hold me close and I'll surrender to your heart
You know how to give and how to take
You see every hope I locked away
So pull me close and surrender to my heart
Before the flame goes out tonight
Yeah, we'll live until we die
So come out, come out, come out
Won't you turn my soul into a raging fire?
Come out, come out, come out
'Til we lose control into a raging fire
Into a raging fire
Come out, come out, come out
Won't you turn my soul into a raging fire?
You know time will give and time will take
All the memories made will wash away
Even though we've changed, I'm still here with you
If you listen close, you'll hear the sound
Of all the ghosts that bring us down
Hold on to what makes you feel
Don't let go, it's what makes you real
If the flame goes out tonight
Yeah, we'll live until we die
So come out, come out, come out
Won't you turn my soul into a raging fire?
Come out, come out, come out
'Til we lose control into a raging fire
Into a raging fire
Come out, come out, come out
Won't you turn my soul into a raging fire?
Let the world leave us behind,
Let your heart be next to mine
Before the flame goes out tonight,
We can live until we die
Come out, come out, come out
Won't you turn my soul into a raging fire?
Come out, come out, come out
Won't you turn my soul into a raging fire?
Come out, come out, come out
'Til we lose control into a raging fire
