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​

What will they say when the song hits spot one on spotify in several countries?

 

[DirtyFalcon]

I only follow Eurovision seriously since 2016 (i was watching 3/4 years before but not as a fan) and let's be honest, this is the catchiest song i've ever listened at ESC, my favourite Austrian entry of all time and potentially one of my favourite entries of all time at the contest. My winner this year. So it's a 12, but it's not even enough.

Please dont fail the live, i'm so worried about that

 

[Kaz]

It's an easy from me. Straight to my workout playlist.
I think Austria's choice to send a pair of 19-year-olds has really worked in their favour. They're very in-tune with current trends (well-produced retro pop) and it seems like Halo has huge potential to go viral. It also helps that Lumix has like 10,000,000 monthly Spotify listeners. It's feeling very tempting to place a bet on Austria while their odds are so low.

I know I said I wanted at least one more EDM track but I‘m not totally sold here. As much as I want to like it - and it’s really not bad - there is something missing. The beat is totally cold and can’t decide between 80s or some mainstream 90s techno pop with a kidlike voice (or Katy Perry‘s younger sister) and I find it hard to listen to at times.

 

[94ayd]

Based on the unofficially leaked version it's a and makes my top 3.

 

[Datura]

Track is officially on spotify now: LUM!X & PIA MARIA: HALO

 

[Carlkva]

Really really good, definitely in my top 3, but I can't decide if it's my winner or my second or third place, but definitely Austria's best song since 2014 imo. Really in line with what I listen to outside Eurovision, and yeah just love it.

 

[HayashiM]

This song could really use some joik nah, just kidding, I enjoy it a lot. A cautious that might become a once I've slept on it. Could be quite demanding to sing live I guess?

Easily one of my favourite tracks in this year's contest! The snippet of the music video you can see while playing the track on the Spotify app looks good as well, just hope that they don't mess up the staging.

 

[Ezio]

If the odds won't shift in our favour, we are destined to open the Grand Final, or worse, the 2nd half of GF. At least 2nd or 3rd spot in the running order are out of discussion lol

I would argue that Cesar Sampson was also robbed by the bookmakers in the GF. He lost a hefty amount of televotes between semis and GF.
Our odd history is quite odd and between 2014 and 2018, we outperformed by a lot.
But maybe Italian executive producers have some love for Gabry Ponte and Lumix.

 

[Gera11]

Yikes.... this is not time to bring back Bubblegum Eurodance

This is the perfect time, with the line-up we currently have

 

[gingerale]

Great video and maybe also a hint how the staging could be done and could work. Everything looks great. Bit worried about the stage presence of Lum!x and Pia though.

 

[Sammy]

Pia Maria said on Ö3 that her hair will be „fire-red“ un Torino

 

[aef]

Great video and maybe also a hint how the staging could be done and could work. Everything looks great. Bit worried about the stage presence of Lum!x and Pia though.

That’s one of the things I’m not worried about at all they have got a great chemistry in my opinion.

The video is very nice though I’m not too keen on the light work and the colours. All in all still the best entry at least since 2018.

 

[aef]

Well I have to give this a in the poll, also without any patriotism. So far they’ve done a lot right!

 

[MopManMoss]

Love it just worried about how it will transition to the stage

 

[FilipFromSweden]

well done

 

[MAD20]

Austria serving a banger who would expect this??? Deserved points for you

 

[mauve]

Great video! I actually don't worry about the chemistry between the two, I am rather worried if Pia will be able to serve her vocals live. Other than that, it's a fantastic song. Even though people might claim it is a bit repititive, to me these (almost) 3 minutes never bore me. 12 points and among my top 5!
