Amen, I guess
You said that it's time for us to put
Our love to rest
Dressed in black, you left my neighborhood

No, I never thought you'd bury me and you
No, I never thought we'd die

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen

I bet it's just another funeral to you
But for me it's the end
A marching band are playing gone too soon

No, I never thought you'd bury me and you
No, I never thought we'd die

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?

'Cause it all feels like you didn't even try
Oh try, oh try, try to save us
All this time wasted on a lie

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen, yeah
Are you getting what you wanted?
Are you getting what you wanted?
Amen​

I listened to it for about 30 sec. and I really like, also this will qualify in the second semi where there is literally almost no slow song.. and we always need a bit generic ballad in the final for it to finish around 22nd place:)

Wow, this song is amazing. My body is shivering.

Well done, Vincent, this is your best song yet!

xlove

Now I am excited. It's gonna be underrated as usual by fandom, but I get actual winner vibes. This song is straight out of Heaven!

Tumblr, mostly.
Leak or snippet?
Full on leak. I won't share because it's a full day's ahead of the release and I'm a ~professional~ person.

Also i don't want to inflict it on anyone. it sux.

edit: lol vk coming through with receipts anyway.

It's a pity :2: in the poll once it goes up tomorrow.

I think this is another :12: pts from me this year. I think I gave Vincent a 6 last year ... Love it to bits! The most surprising song this year! xyes

Me too, I am raping the repeat button already. Alive was so lackluster, my disappointment was real. I was so nasty in advance of this year when I heard VB is gonna return. I am totally embarassed by myself.

This is a perfect blend of his musical theatre voice with a spiritual connotation. An arrow straight into the heart. If you are lucky to call a heart your own, you are gonna dig this. I think VB gets a chance to exude charisma with this song, because it suits him so well.

I love male singers who show off their vocal chords, same goes for Uku and Tix. That is also why I am slightly pissed at Denmark, because the song is great, but Jesper's voice so thin.

I have realized in the last 12 months or so, that the meaning of life is not to get what you want, but to give in to what God wants for you. In this song is perfectly synchronized with what I am spiritually experiencing.

I have a terminally sick brother and an unhappy sister. My sister is also seeking, but struggling to get a hold, although she is very resilient. We talked about our brother's life, and she dropped a sentence like "his life is not worth living anymore" and I schooled her that the opposite is true. Eventhough he is so sick, he is not broken, he is in good spirits, he told me he is fine and happy. When he was fit and healthy, he was an angry person, now he is calm and happy, because he surrendered his ego to his destiny, and my sister and I are destined to learn from his experience. When you succumb your ego and your own will, you enter an era of fulfillment and purpose. I myself was so afraid in the past of all sorts of things, like illness, age, and so on... now I don't care. Because the more you are down, the closer you are to God, it's an invitation from Him to get to know him. Today I was asking a question to God, and He gave me a yes, go for it.

So, if the lyrics totally resonate with me. What we should really want is to want nothing.

Wow. I'm speechless. This took me by surprise.

This is stunningly beautiful.
One of the best Austrian entries in the last few editions.

I love it! A pity I can't vote for you in semi 2!

It sounds like a more mature version of a Shawn Mendes song!
