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​

Unfortunately, Warner Music makes an Eurovision rookie mistake by lashing out with copyright strikes. That curbs the buzz.
Yesterday I had to laugh because Lum!x uses an unverified channel to thank for the many positive comments on his song on the Eurovision Youtube channel. A number of prominent producers gathered there to congratulate Lum!x on the song.

This irks me so much. How stupid are they? I notice it happens with a lot of the Greek and Cypriot songs too. Makes zero sense.

 

[mauve]

come on - 36 readers (so far with huge 12 points!?)
the very,very,very average i have no idea song is it worth?
really?
in the glory 90s this poor song has been destroyed by labelbosses!
you still like it?
ok,it is a free country (no idea how long...) - for me this song is true bullshit!
i have always thought swedish melo has a lot of this bullshit last years but from now i am unsure.

Have you ever been questioning yourself? And I don't mean your taste (cause taste differs) , but your disrespectful behaviour? Or do you think you are sitting on the music throne? Sometimes I think you in your music world there is nothing between heaven and hell. Poor you.

So I tried to contact Lum!x on several different ways to explain to him why this is important. Maybe it gets through to him and he can try to influence the record company. But maybe it's already too late to lift the ban. It would have been important in the very first days after the release.

I don't think we can fight for Top 3 but for Top 8 for sure.

The caveats are how juries respond to EDM and how televoters respond to Austria. Also running order matters. Opening the GF and we are out of Top 10.

What I really would love to see on stage is the voguing dance choreo, which is really really good and pleasant to watch.

I think it was very clever to choose such an upbeat song this year, after last year was very upbeat, with all of them cannibalizing each other, and now this year is so ballad-heavy.

@Ezio
Luca seems to be a very lucky kid, he could draw second half. But I'm already fine when we are in the GF at all. Last years were boring for me on Saturday. It's like when you play Lotto. There's hardly a chance you can win the jackpot, but before drawing to dream what you could do with all the money is worth to pay the moron tax.

I think it's quite pointless to talk about our spot in the GF when we didn't even have the SF

 

[Ezio]

Well, I could say that reading your mostly angry postings is quite pointless, that your hair looks a mess and that you should take a mint for your breath, but I won't say that, because I am not that kind of person.

 

[ESCREGION]

Well done Austria. That is a and it's going straight to my Top3

 

[ESC Can]

I was looking through the last 25 Top 35 videos. Austria was 17 times in the top 10. best place: 1/ worst place: 20
Seems like the bubble likes it. As we see in Austria and other countries the song is well reveived outside the bubble as well. Looks promising so far for Austria.

i guess i was the one who placed them 1st lol

 

[ESC_FAN]

In my opinion, it is a very generic song.​

 

[Ezio]

I want 20 seconds more of instrumental only to this song.

 

[Iker]

In my opinion, it is a very generic song.​

Yeah, but it is not surprising to me after learning what style Austrian entry is going to be.

I really don’t know what your problem with me or with your life is, but hey, I don’t care!

If you like you can make your mind for hours about being put at the beginning of the running order of the GF before not even knowing the SF results, I honestly don’t care. If it makes you happy, go for it. To me it doesn’t make any sense right now.

 

[Ezio]

Bad hair, don't care? I don't buy it. This already is your second posting about my musings.

 

[Datura]

Btw: DelaDap were one of the acts in the internal preselection, they made it to the final 4. They released the song last friday aswell Deladap: Easy Kiss

 

[Ezio]

Love it

 

[aef]

Oh thank good they chose LUM!X and Pia Maria.

 

[Ezio]

Any chance we get to hear this song live? Then we know whether or not this is contention. Bookmakers are very shy at the moment, while fan ratings are above and beyond.

I suppose it will be performed at Starmania in April.

 

[Franzilein]

Their voices absolutely remind me of Charli XCX, which was the most annoying thing on the radio when they had their stint some years ago. Can't enjoy this entry at all, song is kinda whatever as well
