Such a neutral and boring song. Nothing new in it really, the melody is too safe and the theme so old. There's nothing exciting in cleanliness.

This! It leaves me feeling void of emotion...

I can't believe I ever rooted for this, what was I thinking?

It's generic and formulatic, on paper it's interesting, but it's done without soul.

Plz Magni comeback, forgive my dissing previously!!!

Your just bitter that they changed the language. I don't like that they did it either, bit It's still 80% the great song it still was, which makes it still better than just about everything else this year.

I haven't understood why this is such a big fave. I can't like it, even though i've sorta tried. xthink The melody is boring to say the least. I can't imagine this doing very well, but you never know...

They're talented, no doubt. I still think this will get a lot of points from everywhere, but they shifted down on my personal list.

This has really grown on me recently, if they qualify and get a late draw I can most definetly see this at top of the scoreboard. I fear having an early draw may hurt it's chances though, especially now the voting from the beginning has stopped.

Having the voting window extended actually no impact as pretty much everybody voted at the end which is the main reason the EBU changed it back

I liked the original version and didn't want it to be changed but when I listened to English version, fell in love with it! I like English version more then Icelandic one. I can relate to the lyrics.

Their outfits are great btw. Dark blue/white could suit better tho.

I'm worried about this song's chances... true, singing at #2 in the semifinal isn't as bad as in the final but it's still an awful position!

Don't worry about semifinal, they will be in final for sure!
And we don't know in which position they'll sing in Final.

Hope they'll draw like 21-26, somewhere in that region... or at least split from any other qualifying ballad.

I just can't get into this still, I've tried but it just doesn't grab me - am I the only one?

This is definetly one of my favorites. And also a rare occasion when I actually prefer the English version over the native one.

It might even be one of my favorite Icelandic entries ever. I don't think they have a chance to win, but they could very easily end in top 5.
