Glad there's an authentication that this entry is great, specially from someone with music background who appreciates it. At least now I know I'm not delusional.

The song is all around great. Their delivery is great. It's just a question of being more on the indie side,which by definition is a bit more niche.

This is the type of music I'd listen to in my real life. I'm comfortable around it and it baffles me how this isn't an instant hit with everyone. But then I have to remember how I always think that about the bands I love xD

Month to go to ESC, I still love you Latvia. I have this song on replay and I have never gotten tired of it. I'll spend some cents on you for sure. Absolutely deservedly.

Successful pre-party performances, now Latvia is on the run for qualification.

This afternoon I 'ave been mostly listening to Latvia.

This was actually one of the very first entries that I heard, and I kinda liked it from the start.

It's got a solid indie rock and yet polished feel to it. The accompanying video with all the extras is certainly interesting, but I guess they can't bring any of that video narrative to the staging, which is a shame.

It's strong enough just as a sonic experience though. The soft ending might not help in the actual competition. It subsides into a tranquil conclusion, and that won't grab a television competition audience.

I do hope that it finds a way through to the GF out of that very tough first SF. It's certainly worthy enough.

ive not had an irish sim for years now so im really upset I cant vote for Latvia living in the UK

i actually think that soft ending is a prefect way to end it. they are building to crescendo and then SUDDENly the LIGHTS are out (sorry i had to lol)
it's such a drastic change, drop off, that it'll surely be remembered. you can see in reaction videos. people get really into that powerful loud part sung at the top of the lungs, and then get startled by an immediate silence with soft vocals.

 

[Rocket man]

Yeah, same as everyone here, I'm really rooting for this to do well at Eurovision. It was one of t he first selected for this year (or at least that's what it feels like), and yet I still like this a lot. One of my favourites from the very beginning.

I'm really intrigued as to the reaction to the ending. I could be wrong, and it might well be an advantage. I do so hope as I would like it go through.

I'm in the audience for the SF preview, and am looking forward to seeing these guys perform!

Loads of their other music is great but their song Laternas is genuinely out of this world give it a listen
