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​

Apparently, the song is available for purchase in Eastern realms, where March 11 has already sprung

Yeah I saw it around 11:00 a.m.. CET on the Australien website of spotify geo blocked.

This song makes even the grumpiest leather bears shake their (_x_) or family jewels on the dancefloor, bathroom floor or duck room floor, or grab some elseseses. The doctor said, Dance! and Lum!x says Now! This is the perfect antidote for the drowzy medication this year, when singers want to die together, be taken away by rivers, planes, snakes, snakes on planes, and make their boys cry. No one should ever make any boy cry! Eurovision is not here for a saudade-exclusive event. So I thank ORF for the generous contribution to cheer us up.

Of course, I am not a scientist, so I cannot predict the outcome at all, like everyone else can. There are juries and they might tick every grievance on their list first before they gave the rebellious teenagers a pass. But all I say is, whatever, this song is mine already, and may forever be not yours.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

What.a.banger! This is one of the catchiest tracks I've ever listened... and hoping for a good performance in Torino...

If our commentators emphasize that Gabry Ponte worked on this song this could easily get a boost in the Italian televote, who would otherwise not care about LUM!X being half-Italian. Personally, it's my 6th place and the highest placed of my points songs.

Back after a few hours not beeing online its stunning to read all these very positive posts about the austrian entry. I think we really have something we can be proud of this year.
It amazing that LUM!X could find the right way to create a song that is radio friendly, a club banger and perfect for the esc stage at the same time.
Concerning the stagings ORF did not disappoint us in the past years, we can be confident that they will put a great show on the stage. And even if not it doesnt matter, this song works also with a bad light show.

 

[Ana Raquel]

BY FAR the best dj track in esc history (excluding the iconique dj bobo of course)

Thanks for making me have more than three this year

 

[0scar]

Honestly LOVE this

makes me afraid how this will do in Turin as it sounds like a song that isn't made for actually performance purposes

 

[CPV4931]

Also loving this, expected a lot from Lumix and he delivered. Hopefully, Austria can reach the final again :-)

 

[Sammy]

The leaked version on YT is just 2:40!
I demand the full 3:00 of LUM!X-Power!

The video is awesome....reminds me to "Rock me Amadeus" from Falco

Austria is last in the odds.

Austria is last in the odds.

?? Last time i checked that spot was firmly reserved for Last Place Slovenia

 

[Datura]

Austria is last in the odds.

how did that happen. I'm sure this will climb as soon as it's officially released

 

[Fluke]

Yikes.... this is not time to bring back Bubblegum Eurodance, and it's god-awful in every way. The vocals are way too high pitched and repetitive, not that it isn't the norm for this genre, but really.... i'm thinking this might be the worst song of the year, in contest with Ireland so far. What absolute ear-aching rubbish!
