Austria AUSTRIA 2022 - LUM!X & Pia Maria - Halo

[escYOUnited]

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

We don't need a Hercules to bring a man down to his knees
No more apologies
Philosophers like Socrates define yourself, think on your feet
Go sharpen your teeth

We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know
Yeah, we can be the boss
Fly higher than the Gods
We're not under control
And no, no, not anymore
If you feel me, then put your hands up

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night

I think I had the right idea
Beautiful, something to feel
For a hundred years
We're gonna be written among the stars
Posing so we're hustling young queens

We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know
Yeah, we can be the boss
Fly higher than the Gods
We're not under control
And no, no, not anymore
If you feel me, then put your hands up

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Don't need no
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night​

Why don't they release it earlier? It's buzzing right now and the next weeks are packed with final decesions and releases.

You cant just release it the next day. Everything is booked and planned for a certain day.

 

[Lindon]

They still try to keep it under the rug til next week and hit everyone with the copyright but Jeannie is out of the bottle. It's too powerful to keep it a secret. It seems I lost the understanding what works at Eurovision but this will conquer the rest of the planet.

I know that and it's difficult but sometimes plans don't work out.

Reeleasing the video on the Eurovision channel wouldn't be a problem. Of course then the song premiere isn't a premiere anymore but that very long snippet is already around.

"(Original Mix)"? - Hopefully, there will be a "Eurovision Edit" in which Pia´s vocals aren´t that heavily processed.

After listening to that snippet on Twitter, I´d definitely rank Austria in my Bottom 3 at this point - which would be a shame because I can totally see its potential.

It just would not make sense. It is just a few people talking about that snippet. They can wait another weak. Thats what snippets are made for actually.

I'm not exactly keen on the vocals but I think an unapologetic electro pop stomper is just what the doctor ordered for this year's contest. It sounds like Kim Petras on speed which is a good thing.

Why on earth bottom 3 in this extremely weak year? don’t tell me you rank songs like higher

Earworm chorus, could be pretty great if they just know how to stage it. As a song I prefer it way more than Stefania's somewhat similar throwback from last year. Personally don't really have any issues with the vocals, it fits the song.

Unfortunately, I do (apart from ).
I really loved "Amen", though. - "Halo" will definitely be more successful in Eurovision in May but it´s just not my cup of tea at all (Right now, is part of my bottom 3 as well, though).

 

[Lindon]

Look at the pictures in this report of ORF about last night in Vienna of young people in front of and in clubs and discos. I think they will appreciate Halo

Hey, those are all my national final winners and Bulgaria got me hyped up as well

Oh boy

Based on the 2-min preview, it's just a generic dance tune.

Well what exactly did you expect based on the information we had? It was clear that it will be a EDM/ DJ Song.

 

[Lindon]

Retracted

 

[hungo]

wow I like it a lot. Cant wait to watch the video and listen to the whole song. I hope they can keep that quality live on stage.

 

[Lindon]

I'm assuming that Marvin Dietmann will do the staging. ORF sticks by its boys or was there any stage of ORF in the last 20 years that wasn't from Florian Wieder?

 

[Realest]

Well, congrats for being the best german speaking Country this Year.

And even if it's only a LQ Beatport sample for now.
