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​

Well I already like this more than Finland which is currently my #1 and from what I've heard about the rest of internal selections, none of them seems like something I would really like, so it's safe to say that Austria will be my winner this year.

I'm very excited for the release actually, which is very rare.

Song cover looks hawt.

 

[Ezio]

Austria and Switzerland at the top of their game

The set looks like the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

Would be even better:

Dinosaur with a halo

Hal(l)o! I am representing Austria this year!

Kleine Zeitung:

With Ukraine, the ESC winner is almost certain

Song Contest 2022: Mit der Ukraine steht der ESC-Sieger fast schon fest

Die Ukraine ist hoher Favorit in den Wettbüros: Mit „Stefania“, einer flotten, tanzbaren Verbeugung vor den starken und liebenden Müttern, könnte sie zum dritten Mal den ESC gewinnen. Am Freitag hat Österreichs Beitrag "Halo" seine Radio-Premiere.

I also think so. But what will happen if Russia (or a pro-Russian politician so to speak) will take over the power of Ukraine? Do we still want Ukraine to host next year?

"Halo" in German would be rather bumpy: "Heiligenschein". Too many syllables
Hear a preview from one third of the song on:

I think that wouldn't be a problem. Then another country is simply selected. But if Kyiv falls before the contest, will the Russians even allow participation? Putin's point of view is that there is no Ukraine.

There are not many songs like this one in the contest this season. I think it was a good choice to choose an uptempo song.

 

[harey]

@Lindon but it could have been like France did a lot: chorus in English but sung in German. (Obviously not, but I am someone who likes to have hope.)

The last Song in German (kind of German) was Woki mit deim Popo 10 years ago. ORF hasn't still recovered from that expierence.

I still love our song in French so much.

 

[mauve]

Heard the full version ... usually not my kind of thing, but catchy as hell. 8 points!

 

[mauve]

Nah, make it !
