Starting my fresh English journey in music, the NWEN Songfest NF will be commencing soon. Stay tuned!

 

[Eulaliya]

Due to some technical difficulties while examining potential entries if they're already sent, we've decided to save the NF for my 50th WV anniversary (or until the database is fixed). And let the internal quest for a new journey begin!

 

[Eulaliya]

For WV118, one of the 80s hits will be representing through internal selection:




​

 

[Eulaliya]

WV118
Limahl
"Neverending Story"




Turn around
Look at what you see
In her face
The mirror of your dreams

Make believe I'm everywhere
Given in the light
Written on the pages
Is the answer to a never ending story
Never ending story

Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be

Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never ending story
Never ending story
Story

Show no fear
For she may fade away
In your hand
The birth of a new day

Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never ending story

This was the theme for The NeverEnding Story in the US (and also used in the third season of Stranger Things), while the German version uses Bastian's Happy Flight by Klaus Doldinger (WV115 Berlin entry). So that makes both of them the iconic NeverEnding Story dilogy we've ever witnessed in WV.

As I've said in the LL, next edition will be my 50th WV edition, so I would like to thank you all who've been part of my camaraderie through my 3 years in WV As a milestone, an iconic National Final is on the works, featuring one of my fave NWEN bands I can't tell right now. Ten songs in a one-band NF! Such a breakthrough move, your wigs will be flown ​

 

[Eulaliya]

All right, time for a special something!

First of all, our Kajagoogoo boy Limahl has made it, making my qualification streak a third time in a row And now to mark my 50th anniversary in WV, it's time for the super-iconic band to made their WV debut, it's no other than The Beatles (except John Lennon of course)! Without further ado, here are the ten competing entries (chosen with much difficulty to deliberate):

1. Hey Jude

2. Strawberry Fields Forever

3. Come Together

4. Here Comes the Sun

5. Yesterday

6. The Ballad of John and Yoko

7. I Want to Hold Your Hand

8. Eleanor Rigby

9. Help!

10. In My Life

Voting: Melodifestivalen style (12-10-8-6-4-2-1)
Deadline will be the day before the WV119 submissions deadline. Have fun and a happy WV anniversary to me!

 

[RainyWoods]

Well, if there's anyone worthy of a ten song single artist NF, it's obviously the Beatles. One of my favourite songs of all time is here, along with also my second or third favourite (mood dependant) Beatles song. You've also snuck in something I've always strongly disliked which I think is going to be the favourite to win Anyway, I'll be sure to vote here soon. Could do so without even listening to the songs but I shall of course refresh my mind.

What a nice way to celebrate your 50th entry, Eulaliya. Gosh, how time flies.

Any final votes before the deadline are welcome as I'll be extending the deadline to 17 CET as a last resort. Hurry up!

 

[Eulaliya]

Hey everyone!

Due to reaching no more than 3 voters coming into the ten-song NF despite earnest efforts of reaching out, we have decided to postpone the Beatles' WV debut to next edition or so, so the NF has to be put on hold for now.
Instead we have internally selected something more fitting and perfect for my 50th WV anniversary entry, so stay tuned

 

[Ausesken]

I'm so sorry Eulaliya you can count on my vote to choose your Beatles song when your NF is up again!

 

[theditz83]

So gutted that only 3 people took part in your NF. Where has everyone been??

 

[Eulaliya]

So I've taken another unexpected break. All because of a London-based band whose lead singer is from NWEN. I think I'll save this for my future stint.

See you in WV120 with The Beatles as my 50th entrant!
