Azerbaijan AZERBAIJAN 2022 - Nadir Rustamli - Fade To Black

[escYOUnited]

Stay
The story barely started
Can't you
Stay
Do you really want no part of this
Oh so sweet
Reverie
You back off slowly through the door
You always go and blame the weather
The weather

It hurts so fast
When love goes bad
Until at last
We fade to black

And I'm numb, numb
Numb, numb

Wait
I need some time to fix this can't you wait ?
We can't afford to miss this
You back off slowly through the door
You always go and blame the weather
The weather

It hurts so fast
When love goes bad
Until at last
We fade to black

And I'm numb, numb
Numb, numb

We're living in a memory
The present is the price I pay
Fade to black
Fade to black

It hurts so fast
When love goes bad
Until at last
We fade to black​

ESC 2022 album is available for pre-order but entry is yet to be released

ready for the reveal party

I mean you can pre-order the album but you still can't listen to it anyway.
The song is coming in 1-2 days depending where you are.
Wonder if it will be on Spotify on 12mn on 21-Mar (which I doubt so since Azerbaijan usually takes time having their entries on Spotify).

It seems like Azerbaijan is really leaving everything to the last minute this time round. I mean they only announce Nadir's participation on 16-Feb (and it seems like he only knew about his confirmation on that day), took them about one month to record the song and music video (that to me is considered pretty rush). I don't think they are really drumming up hype like some other people from other forums are suggesting.

Coming soon.

Same here. It's midnight, and still nothing. Anywhere.

Submission deadline should also be the song presentation deadline!

Bravo, Azerbaijan, you've managaed to keep this song a secret for a whole week, while most others leaked in one way or another. Do you want a cookie now?

 

[Synergise]

This feels like a borderline qualifier to me - it's not bad but not particularly remarkable either. I find him a bit difficult to understand, particularly at the beginning - genuinely no idea what he said in the first verse.

 

[GermanBango]

So ... this is what we had to wait for huh ...

 

[Looren]

Okay this is

THE BEST SONG AZERBAIJAN EVER SENT

 

[empo21]

This is a strong ballad. I like it. The final part, if performed well, will be a moment imo

But I would like to speak to whoever decided to keep the 2nd 'it hurts...' part the same instead of contiuning the build-up.

 

[ayzelto]

If you are making us wait until the 21st March, at least bring us something that blows us away. Not this one, generic at best. 4-5 points.

 

[ayzelto]

Okay this is

THE BEST SONG AZERBAIJAN EVER SENT

Is this for real?

 

[Realest]

It was worth the Wait.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

Meh. Not bad, but if you take the few beautiful instruments Azerbaijan always throws in their songs out, its just a generic ballad.
Dont like the lyrics, could have been better. You always blame the weaatheeer
With good staging I can see this scoring like The hour of the wolf

 

[BorisBubbles]

Absolutely generic on every point. Watch it qualify and come bottom five in the final.

Musically, a total nothing though.

points.

 

[Looren]

Me : okay I know my top 3 for this year

Azerbaijan coming :

Me : I don't know who's my N°1 of the year now

 

[MopManMoss]

If there is any justice in this world this will be the second time Azerbaijan doesn't qualify

 

[Zeus]

Morocco2021's top 3 has 38 songs in it now.

This feels like a borderline qualifier to me - it's not bad but not particularly remarkable either. I find him a bit difficult to understand, particularly at the beginning - genuinely no idea what he said in the first verse.

Okay I thought it was just me. I really didn't understand anything but "Fade to Black".

This leaves me completely indifferent, the singer probably doesn't even know what he's singing?
It's not bad but I don't know if this will qualify.

 

[MopManMoss]

If there is any justice in this world this will be the second time Azerbaijan doesn't qualify

Oh its in Semi 2 never mind
