Yeah the same here. My initial reaction last night was quite positive but after paying close attention to the lyrics, it's going to be hard to enjoy the song how I first envisioned enjoying it. The songs story is there and right in your face.

Yes, exactly. But in the end maybe they will arrange a real shocking, hair raising staging full of, say, beheaded teddy bears and red eyed bearded men and it all makes terrible sense and we will love it!
Or, more realistically, maybe by may kallay will be a better actor and deliver his song more convincingly like he really means it because last night to be honest he didn't, not really.
His enterview was alright though

A stylish, well-crafted song. It just gets better and better with every listen. I'm impressed!

He is a native speaker, he is from New York City. And i think the lyrics are just fine, not sure where the problem lies.

Really? Hmmmm oook, i don't know what to say :lol:

Actually, the whole thing can be fixed in a heart beat:

Silent cry, every night
This pain will never even lie
She's not alone, so she tries to hide
She calls her out, but never a reply
She cries, cries, cries
She’s all alone
Why, why, why, leave me alone
She calls for help,
She calls for help, but no one seems to care,
She calls for help but no one seems to care.
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life
She keeps on running, running, running, never sees the light
I can see the angels standing by your side
It’ll be alright
It’s back again, just one more time
Just wants to see her saving smile
She can’t forget her only child
Angel, let the devil in the house
She cries, cries, cries
She’s all alone
Why, why, why, leave me alone
She calls for help,
She calls for help, but no one seems to care,
She calls for help but no one seems to care.
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life
She keeps on running, running, running, never sees the light
I can see the angels standing by your side
It’ll be alright
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life

Just get rid of Daddy and Mama reference.

This is my favourite entry so far. Albeit, I'm probably gonna listen to it so much in the next months that by the final, I'll be annoyed with it and won't like it. :p
But that's just me.

Very good song, well done Hungary once again for not sending a dated ESC-style song but something that is following the modern trends like last year (different style, but still in touch with today's reality).

10 points from me for now. xcheer

Me too, but it's not a surprise, I think it's deserved. Still, I didn't give it 12 but 10, I don't like to be very enthousiastic about a song from the first listening, unless it impresses me so much (It happened with "Dancing in the rain" only from this year's edition so far :oops:)

I've just been listening through the songs from each countries, I actually feel I might have been a bit too harsh before, and so far this is one of my favourites.

"Running" is so perfect! When I first heard this I fell in love with it and after more and more listens and playing close to the lyrics it makes me love it even more. The very dark lyrics make this an unconventional Eurovision songs and I hope, for everyones sake, that Hungary makes the final. It doesn't hurt that Kállay-Saunders is, by far, the most attractive singer in the Contest and I want to see him on my TV screen so I can stare at his beautiful face on the 10th!
