Thank you very much Sven :)) at least someone enjoy it :lol: well, I will always try to bring you the best Czech music scene has to offer (even though I'm aware our music scene is really poor compared to most of the other music scenes in Europe).

A Little bit of info about my entry this edition. The song "Falling Slowly" was composed by respected Irish musician Glen Hansard and Czech musician Markéta Irglová. They both received an Academy Award for the Best Original Song (Oscar for the best original song) at 80th Ceremony in 2008. For me, Markéta is one of the most original and best singers we have, so that's the reason some of you already know her from FSC (and it's not the last time you hear about her because I plan to send her to FSC this autumn). Simply put, I like their honesty, what you hear is what you get, not some kind of fakery what you get from maaaany singers/bands these days. And in the end of the day, Glen's and Markéta's songs are still very good, and these are all the reasons I sent them this edition.

I don't expect qualifiaction but I hope at least a few people enjoy this and vote for thins :))

I don't know you but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me n'always fool me
And I can't react

Games that never amount
To more than they meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice,
You had the choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'll paint it black

You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice,
You had the choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice,
You had the choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll singing mine

Re: Czech Republic | WV12 | Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová - Falling Slowly

Watch the Academy Award winning speech by Glen and Markéta. I don't expect qualification but I won't hide the fact that I will be pretty disappointed if I finish last again. This is in my opinion one of the best songs ever released (not only because of Markéta), so yeah, I hope for at least a decent result in the semifinal :) and yeah, this was quite a moving speech for all the people here :)

Huh, why? This folksy, singer/songwriter-ish stuff is exactly my taste :p (along with rock/punk/metal and hip-hop :lol:)

Thanks for the comments guys :)

Re: Czech Republic | WV12 | Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová - Falling Slowly

I was giving up that I will see this song in WV when you said that you won't send them because you already sent them in FSC Spin Off,

but I'm glad that you picked this one as your returning entry xup

Yeah, I've changed my mind. At first I was planning to send a different song by Glen & Markéta, but then I thought most of the people in WV didn't participate in that FSC spin-off, so I sent Falling Slowly :)

Re: Czech Republic | WV13 | Karel Gott???

Thanks to everyone who voted for Markéta and Glen in the semi :) I didn't finish in the bottom 5, so I'm satisfied :lol: Good luck to all the qualifiers in the final :)


As for WV13, I'm not entirely sure yet, but I'm thinking of sending the biggest legend of Czech music - Karel Gott :mrgreen: I might do a NF, so if you have any suggestions, post them here or send me a PM :D

Re: Czech Republic | WV13 | Karel Gott???

Sure, he is one of the all-time most popular singers here. His last big hit in Germany, by the way, was a collaboration with Berlin rapper Bushido. That was impressively terrible though. :?

I know the song, it was popular here as well. I like it though, but maybe just because I don't understand the lyrics :lol:

Just a bit overly pathetic (as all his recent look-upon-me-everybody-I-have-become-so-grown-up-and-wise-lyrics), but nothing seriously wrong with them. It is more that I do not like the melody without rap either and that the package does not match IMHO.
However, I've heard older songs by him (also in Czech) and I remember some of them were really good. I've little doubts about the quality of your choice anyway. ;)

Ah, yeah - Lady Carneval is Karel's biggest hit and actually I almost sent it this edition but I changed my mind in the last minute :lol: there's a high chance that I will send it. Don't know the "wind" song xshrug
