Good luck for him.

The song itself isn't bad, it has some kind of an earworm-charakter, but it's not exciting either. As a few people said correctly - it's "okay". Nothing less and nothing more.

I guess with this entry it is sealed. Lithuania is the least attracting country in the ESC for me. Not a single entry I liked or even remotely cared about in this decade. Guess that's also an accomplishment xshrug

I liked Lithuania last year but only after some time. But all in all they're among my least favourite ESC countries.

Same actually. It was a grower, but it faded almost just as quickly. 2013 is basically the only entry I ... kinda enjoyed? The lyrics were hilarious, but I don't really mean it in a positive way. Something has always been lacking in their entries, the sound often felt... incomplete. I don't know. Just have a hard time getting behind their entries, cannot really explain it.

Guilty pleasure in the making. Live vocals need to improve though. Sounds like gasping for air.

I've come to the conclusion that I am in LOVE with he dumbness of these lyrics lmfao
:"if you wanna see, just open your eyes"
:if you want a voice, just open your mouth"
"if you wanna breathe, let's go outside"

I still really like this, it's remained at my 3rd place. It's so chill, summery, free-spirited and feel-good and that's what I'm all about, it's the embodiment of everything I value in life and everything I wish I could be. :lol: It doesn't try to be anything crazy or some masterpiece, it just is, and it feels real, and it makes me feel, feel damn great just like that. Hell yea. xmusicxheart

I still did not make my mind up about this one. I always completely forget about it. I wish I could forget Montenegro and Denmark instead.

It is great to hear that. :D Especially in the Eurovision fandom where people seem to be way more often way more focused on how much they disagree with everybody. :lol:

I honestly like this entry. It's breezy, uplifting and sounds fresh.. the pre-chorus is absolutely amazing and Jurijus is simply magical and stunning on stage (vocally). I can't believe how diverse and distinctive his voice can sound like!
This entry is clearly criminally underrated and I can totally see it qualify easily!
:8: (I would've given more if the song had not get lost due to the messy middle 8 part)

Is he ethnic Belarussian or Russian? His name / surname suggests me that.

I just found out I hadnt rated this yet. I am quite surprised to see how badly Jurijus is doing in the polls. I quite like this entry! I enjoy Jurijus voice. It is VERY rare that I like an entry from Lithuania, but this year is different.
This just slipped out of my top 10 based on the performances and studio versions of the songs that are out until now. But maybe that will be this song's problem; even though I like this quite a lot and gave it an 8, I am not going to vote for this in Tel Aviv. I have other favourites that needs my support. I guess that is the way others feel as well. One may like Run with the Lions, but I guess few people will actually put this in their top 3.
I wouldn't mind seeing Jurijus in the final though. But having to compete in the second semi I highly doubt it...
