A big thank you to those who voted for the 80s banger!
Now we're returning to the indie-pop route, this time with a returning artist!

"Hunger"



Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

At seventeen, I started to starve myself
I thought that love was a kind of emptiness
And at least I understood then the hunger I felt
And I didn't have to call it loneliness

We all have a hunger (4x)

Tell me what you need, oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me
Don't let it get you down, you're the best thing I've seen
We never found the answer but we knew one thing

We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) (4x)

And it's Friday night and it's kicking in
In that pink dress they're gonna crucify me
Oh, but you and all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment

I thought that love was in the drugs
But the more I took, the more it took away
And I could never get enough
I thought that love was on the stage
You give yourself to strangers
You don't have to be afraid
Then it tries to find a home with people, oh, and I'm alone
Picking it apart and staring at your phone

We all have a hunger (4x)

Tell me what you need, oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me
Don't let it get you down, you're the best thing I've seen
We never found the answer but we knew one thing

We all have a hunger (8x)

And it's Friday night and it's kicking in
In that pink dress they're gonna crucify me
Oh, and you and all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment
I forget to worry ​

 

[Arion]

I love this song! Good luck!

 

[Eulaliya]

Thank you so much for voting one of my fave songs from FATM into the final - it was such a jubilation to see this happening

And with the spin-off hosting going on I'm afraid we'll be putting off the NF season for now - we'll be going internal with some Britpop!

"Parklife"



Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as parklife
And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as parklife

John's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons
They love a bit of it (parklife)
Who's that gut lord marching?
You should cut down on your pork life mate
Get some exercise

All the people
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife

Know what I mean

I get up when I want except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen
Parklife
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house
Parklife

I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being
Parklife
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it

All the people
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife

Parklife (parklife)
Parklife (parklife)

It's got nothing to do with "Vorsprung durch Technik" you know
Parklife (parklife)
And it's not about you joggers that go 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
Parklife (parklife)

All the people
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife

All the people
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife

Announcement!
Due to the breaks of some of Pot E members including Calvin, Fer and Robert, and other personal reasons, we have decided to postpone the NF for next edition. But don't worry, your votes are safe for now until then.
So we're back to internal selection with a 90s boy band song I've adored since childhood

"Everytime"



Lately I'm not who I used to be
Someone's come and taken me
Where I don't wanna go
If I knew exactly what I have to do
In order to be there for you
When you were feeling low

And all the things we ever wanted
Were once yours and mine
Now, I know we can revive it
All the love we left

Everytime I kiss I feel your lips and
Everytime I cry I see your smile and
Everytime I close my eyes I realise that
Everytime I hold your hand in mine
The sweetest thing my heart could ever find
And I have never felt this way
Since the day I gave your love away

Save me, I've fallen from my destiny
You and I were meant to be
I've thrown it all away
Now you're gone
It's time for me to carry on
But baby I just can't go on
Without you by my side

And all the things we ever wanted
Were once yours and mine
Now, I know we can revive it
All the love we left

Everytime I kiss I feel your lips and
Everytime I cry I see your smile and
Everytime I close my eyes I realise that
Everytime I hold your hand in mine
The sweetest thing my heart could ever find
And I have never felt this way
Since the day I gave your love away

We can survive it
All the pain we feel inside
You relied on me and now I've let you down
Now, I promise you forever
I will be the best I can
Now, I know we can revive it
All the love we left

Everytime I kiss I feel your lips and
Everytime I cry I see your smile and
Everytime I close my eyes I realise that
Everytime I hold your hand in mine
The sweetest thing my heart could ever find
And I have never felt this way
Since I gave your love away

Everytime I kiss I feel your lips and
Everytime I cry I see your smile and
Everytime I close my eyes I realise that
Everytime I hold your hand in mine
The sweetest thing my heart could ever find
And I have never felt this way
Since the day I gave your love away ​

Haiyaa, our late 90s nostalgia doesn't fare well with the WV audience, I think I might not send any 90s hit again, even some among my childhood faves like boyband songs! That's one of my saddest moments in my WV history, so many breaks from among my fellow Pot E players going on yet still flopping. But that's my overreaction.
Anyway, I have no choice but to continue for the next edition. The Folk Rock and Prog Rock NF is now reopen for further votings including those returning from breaks. Meanwhile vote in my first OM National Final for

Just as a little side comment, I really enjoyed a lot of A1 songs, but you picked a schmaltzy cheesy ballad that just wasn't my bad at all. Same Old Brand New You or Summertime Of Our Lives would've nabbed decent points from me
