Bulgaria BULGARIA 2021 - VICTORIA - Growing Up Is Getting Old

[escYOUnited]

Playing tetris with my feelings
Trynna keep them all inside
Hollow shadows and my soul is spilling over, I'm out of time

Closing every door
Wanna be alone
Lonely is a way that I survive
Sick of wanting more
Sitting on the floor
Wondering where all my feelings go

Nervous system's aching
Growing up is getting old
Anxiety is draining
Getting up is growing old

Don't get it, there's an ocean of emotion that I'm carrying inside
I am cautious,
Cause I've never understood how so much can fit in little me

Star crossed soul
And I'm used to letting go
Sink deeper in the flow of it
My demons know exactly where my fears
Are hiding all my tears

I'm torn by nervous system's aching
Growing up is getting old
Anxiety is draining
Getting up is growing old

And if I ever take that second to leave my worries behind
Maybe I could tread the waters of time
Get out of my mind

Growing up is getting old
Getting up is growing old

If your world is breaking
And growing up is getting old
Know that you're worth saving
And getting up is all you've got​

Saving the best for last.

@anaraqueen On a scale of Efendi to Roxen how are these titles from Victoria?

 

[Charly]

considering the game change BNT has done I wouldnt rule out Bulgaria being a contender with the song titles, she was 1 of the contenders last year and knowing BNT's strategy I would say they will go all out for a win

The Funeral song

 

[Mainshow]

Wait.. I thought the EP would have been up for purchase by now. What did happen?

 

[A-lister]

Can’t judge about he songs by a title, still remember everyone laughing at “if love was a crime” then people loved it. Let’s wait for the songs as the album says it’s gonna be little dramatic.

People laughed about the "If Love Was a Crime" title? I can't recall that

Obviously song titles are just song titles and you can't really judge a song by its title alone... but some of these titles are really out there... I would be surprised if "The Funeral Song" would be a fun club banger (Victoria in general doesn't scream bangers anyways).... but it doesn't mean that the song would have to be bad...

Although I am not sold on anything Victoria put out thus far, I am still intrigued and I know the Bulgarian team are in it to win it so ...

 

[Leydan]

I'm now imagining The Funeral Song as some epic club banger now ^^

Obviously thats the name because every other participant will be needing a funeral for their careers the second she hits the stage with her hit.

the funeral song hope it's something with the same energy as this

dive into the unknown might be the mandatory let's follow the mainstream trends!!!!!!!!!!!! like they've done so since their comeback

Can’t judge about he songs by a title,

What nonsense is this?? We ABSOLUTELY judge songs by their title. The biggest casuals judge songs by their title.

If a song has a silly title, people WILL immediately expect it to be crap before even having heard the first note. THAT IS HOW FIRST IMPRESSIONS WORK. Never, ever, EVER take the "X My Heart" route for songs. Take into account what people will think when they see the chyron, like you know, any sane person would?

The first song

 

[mauve]

Imaginary Friend is a lot better than last year, I think. I think though that I simply just don't like her voice so muc. Always this kind of whispering gets on my nerves. The song itself though is quite good!

 

[rasmuslights]

THIS IS SOOO GOOD. It would be my winner so far if picked rn. I love Bulgaria at esc they always deliver.

 

[opinionsigotem]

Yeah this is streets ahead of Tears Getting Sober AND Ugly Cry. Holding out for something even better but this would be a fine choice

 

[Loindici]

VICTORIA's image is blatanly based off Billie Eilish, but Billie is neither the pioneer nor the sole example of the genre ( i.e. Imogen Heap, Paloma Faith, Lorde, probably Melanie Martinez to an extent). Imaginary friend is good, but I think we need to hear the other songs: it's dreamy and lush, but somehow lacks sophistication.

double post

 

[Mainshow]

Stunning. Beautiful. Mesmerising. What a beautiful backing track and built-up as well!

Seriously, at this point I wouldn't mind Bulgaria winning with such tune. It's well-produced, contemporary but doesn't feel like being a rip-off or copy of another song.

 

[EscGeek]

i'll be giving my feedback in this style (comparing it with tgs)

1-imaginary friend
2-tears getting sober
3-ugly cry

 

[BorisBubbles]

That's a nice little song they've got there. Not fully smitten by it, but it's leagues better than the Boring 'High Quality' Crap served by Diodato and Gjon's Tears last year ^__^

 

[Jacco]

I really really really like UGLY CRY, but I also like this song. How does she do that??

1. UGLY CRY
2. imaginary friend
3. Tears Getting Sober
