Re: GREECE 2016 - Argo
More info about the greek entry
According to newsit.gr (http://www.newsit.gr/default.php?pn...c&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork)-the link is in greek- the verses of the song will be in greek hip hop (with words in pontian dialect too) and part of them could be translated as "I lived as a refugee when i was little, i look back, but i walk forward..."
Τhe chorus will be in english though, and the lyrics as follows : "We are the rise of the rising sun, dance with us and have some fun. We are the rise of the rising sun, fight with us for an utopian land"
God help us!

OMG the news reached
Sad indeed! May he reast in peace! I was not a fan of him and his music but it is still heartbreaking to see artists "leaving" so early...

According to newsit.gr and the journalist Grigoris Melas, the song's title is "Utopian land" and the lyrics in pontian dialect will be the following ones ; "Αδά νυχτών κει ακεί που πάμε ξημερών" ("Here the night is coming on, but there, where we go, it dawns").
The "inspiring" message of the greek entry is supposed to be that, despite all the current problems (the refugee and financial crisis), there's always a way out, insofar as we all stand together and fight in order to build an ideal society, the so-called "Utopian Land" (Beat that, Russia, haha!)
Still no news about the date of the official presentation of the song! According to Oikotimes though, it will be "early March"

I was rather surprised, that there hasn't been a country so far that took this topic, as it was so present the last months...

Me also! I do not suport that idea because they use tragic destiny of those poor people for self-promotion and they count on empathy of voters which is not OK!

Re: GREECE 2016 - Argo
I also have my concerns about that.... It always depends on the way it is done of course, but of course the risk is high that it comes across quite shallow.
