@ Shqiperia

Well, I don't have an idea to be interesting here, I'm not here for that! I'm here to comment ESC entries, in positive and negative way! If you want smth positive from me go to another thread, like Hungarian one for example. Byeeeee and have a nice evening!!

P.S. Can you tell me what is "Setovia, Xhanostania"?

 

[RainyWoods]

Yeah, that's definitely a demo although one of a decent quality. It's gonna need some work but it's all looking incredibly promising. The twinkle effect needs to be thrown into the trashcan. The demo has a much more generous helping of the electric guitar. I'm unsure on this. On one hand it makes the song bigger but electric guitars are a dangerous addition to orchestrated pieces. Perhaps some traditional instruments could be brought in?

Traditional > electric

I feel the same about guitars in general, it could be "too much" of it...

It's like four different song instrumentals put into one song and only in 3 minutes 1

They need to just stick with one or two and build on those

 

[QwaarJet]

Studio version.

Haha, wow. This is terrible.

 

[Shqiperia]

Less guitar, more ethnic instruments imo!

I love this song I gave it 10 points. I hope it stays in Albanian, because this languages suits this song so much! I don't like the beginning of the song, though - it doesn't suit the rest of the song. And ofc, the live version is better than studio one, but, as veryone knows, the artists are required to song live in Eurovision, so it's ok with me ;D

This has the potential to be fantastic.Herciana is a great artist and handles the difficult to pitch sections very well.It MUST stay in Albanian.The intro needs dropping and start the song from the piano.I know Herci said the intro was showing anger but the ESC televoter wont know that so it needs dropping.
The guitar bridge is suicide and needs to go.Id have more strings there,or even wind instruments.If they keep the guitar it needs to be much shorter and Herci singing over it but dropping it would be a huge + .

They need to really work at this because they have a chance here to get top 10 with the right re-work.Its one of those songs that has massive potential, but could easily flop if they get it wrong.I hope they get it right as it belongs in the final.

 

[dezbee2008]

I will have to agree with some of you that it needs reworking (past Albanian entries did reworking, some were better than others) and with the rework, it has a potential to be part of my top 15 or even 10. And keep it in Albanian. It's great already in the language.

I've been trying and trying to like this song but I just can't. It's just a mishmash of all kinds of genres and there's no cohesion and it seems that Herciana is just singing away to herself and there happens to be a microphone there. There'd want to be a series amount of editing going on before May.

Obviously not the official music video, but it looks beautiful

I'll be surprised if this song doesn't end up in my top 5. It would've been my fav last year. Her voice is divine and that melodic piano.....
I don't want it to be changed too much from the orchestral live version. The chaotic intro really catched my interest from first listen, and it should stay! The quitar solo is the only thing I can live without.

5 points. The song at the beginning of the video was more interesting than the song itself. As for the song itself, it had all-right to good vocals and instrumentals, but I'm afraid it's not going to stand out. One positive is that at least it's not a conventional ballad.

I heard better Albanian ESC songs.

 

[12Points]

Reminds me of 2012 , i think the guitar intro need to be changed to strings or piano or maybe choir , so it has more orchestral vibe in it, rather than random guitar sound xguitar, REWORK! REWORK! xbounce

 

[anto475]

It's finally growing on me, but I'd love to know what it means! Has anyone been able to find English lyrics anywhere?

 

[r3gg13]

The main issue with this song for me is that it doesn't sound substantial. I feel like it's one of those songs that needs to drown/overwhelm its listeners with emotions and energy. YET, it just doesn't. As it is, it sounds like the song wants to build up to something, but it doesn't. It needs more drama, so it can stir up some emotions; make that wonderful voice and the instruments communicate emotions. Also it would also be nice if the instruments jive better together.

I've made up my mind and given it 8 points. Can't wait for the revamp!
