GREECE 2011 - Loukas Yorkas feat. Stereo Mike - Watch my Dance

[ParadiseES]

hmmm there is still one big problem...
The chorus (when Loukas sings) is growing on me everyday, the instrumental part is also growing. This is beautiful and amazing.
But the rap part......oh no...

Why didn't they put Loukas to sing a typical Greek ballad like the chorus? :?

That's what I feel also, but I think that the rap part, which is also in zeibekiko (9/8) rhythm is a very smart combination!

I don't think the British people will like the Greek song. It is not like the previews years, when it was something uptempo and they liked it, with additional points of the Greek and Cypriot diaspora in the UK. This year is different. Another minus (for Greece) is that this year British people will really watch ESC since they have something to anticipate (a victory? why not!) and the number of the voters will be much bigger! In the previews years, I know a lot of British people who didn't even watch the Eurovision Final!

Who knows One thing I am certain about is that it is a grower though. Greece is one of my favorite ESC countries. The only entry I didn't like was 2002, but even that was not that bad.

Greetings and Good Luck to all participants in Eurovision Song Contest 2011…
This year my Country Greece choose a very different song to represent us.
The song is the ”Watch my Dance”.
The day after the Greek contest people in Europe was so confused about what is this song.
I would like to explain why people in Greece choose this song this year.
We choose that song because we want to show an other way for you to know us better.

Some people believe that the Greece is just a place for vacations. What about the Greeks, the people who lived in this place ? What are they thinking about their future?
Europeans suffers and Greeks to.
We have the same fears and thoughts like you. Can you feel that words?? I Know that you feel the same.All people in nowdays do.

I was born so betrayed who am I what I ‘ll be
What is mine in this life just the Heaven and Sea ?
No I won’t give them up,
they’re my fortune, my proof
Don’t believe what you hear,
cause their truth kills the truth

The duty I’ve got
is my war against fear
and I want you with me
yes I want you so near
Watch my dance
Head up high
Hands like wings and I’ll fly

After that we want to show you how this sadness become power.
It’s the Zeimpekiko dace. It is an ancient Greek dance.
Mythology said that when a person’s soul suffer, the person offer the soul’s pain to Zeus like offering a gift to god.
The procedure was that :
The person who has the problem started to dance with this way. Zeus was eating the pain of the soul like eating a bread.
The dance named Zeimpekiko from two words Zeus and bekos (bread in ancient Thrace).
After a lot of years we feel the same when we dance the Zeimpekiko.
It’s not like Yoga but after this dance you can feel free. Your mind ,your body and your Soul become one part again. It’s difficult to me to express this feeling with words.
So I will copy the lyrics…

I have heard many words
but I still won’t forget
the language of my body
the sound my heart makes
so I’m staying alive
and my losses won’t let
my soul to surrender
the power of loss is my bet

I know that is difficult to believe This is a dance of philosophy and mythology.
The dance of our past and our present.
People dance Zeimpekiko only when they suffer.
So come and watch our dance and wish all europeans come together to create a new tommorrow.
I want you with me yes, I Want you so near….That’s my favourite part of the song.

Best of wishes to all participants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here is a video for Watch my Dance. It’s not the official video clip, it is created by me but I hope that you like it.

Very weird song Greece has chosen to represent her in this ESC. A very different style from the other songs in last years. I believe this country with fantastic results in Eurovision so long, will not make into in the Final..
