Norway NORWAY 2021 - TIX - Fallen Angel

[escYOUnited]

​

What can I say?
I can't make her stay
When I know that she's so far above
How could she ever love someone like me
She's out of reach

Here in the dark inside the hole in my heart
I'm fighting all of my demons tryna tear me apart
And I'm still not sure what you ever saw in me

No, I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
And no matter where my heart is
There's no way I'll ever
Reach up to heaven
To you

She's so far out of this world
No way I could ever be with her
'Cause I know heaven's your home
That's where angels belong
And it wouldn't be fair
If I keep you down here

Here in the dark inside the hole in my heart
I'm fighting all of my demons tryna tear me apart
And I'm still not sure what you ever saw in me

No, I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
Tryna fly, but I'm not able
And I need you to know
That it's okay to let me go
'Cause no matter where my heart is
There's no way I'll ever
Reach up to heaven
To you

I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
Yeah I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
And I'm still not sure
What you ever saw in me

No, I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
Tryna fly, but I'm not able, so
Just let me go (I'm a, I'm a fallen angel)
'Cause no matter where my heart is
There's no way I'll ever
Reach up to heaven
To you​

Tbh I am not surprised if this qualifies

Me neither tbh. I was super-salty after the MGP result (unsurprisingly), and while I still find this song the very definition of middle of the road pop, I think it will find an audience, and the performance will be memorable for many. Public support is more likely than a jury winner though.

But can we just admire the utter majesty of this track that TIX provided the vocals for back in 2018? The fact that he could be at the forefront of such a banger and he's sending this song to Eurovision is just making me all the more salty again...

I'm pretty sure either Sweden or Norway will be NQ in SF1, and my bet is on Sweden so far. Norway looked more slick vocally and visually, especially in the 2nd rehearsal.

 

[VikingTiger]

Those lyrics are absolutely discusting!! Cheap and cynical. Like other lyrics that TIX has written before. I would be really ashamed to see and hear Norway send lyrics like this to the ESC.
I was definitely no fan of TIX before. His off-putting lyrics were quite enough for me not wanting to listen to his music or learning anything else about him.
Fallen Angel on the other hand, I do love it. It is firmly placed in my top 10 this year. TIX? Well, he has shown a totally different side of himself. Probably that is very good for him as well!

This is the benefit of not understanding a language - you don't have any negative feelings if they are bad. Think I'll avoid Google translating these ones so I can continue bopping to Bergen 2018.

 

[Jopi]

But those are party songs, it's no shock that the lyrics are not 'peace to the world'.

This new song from Tix just got me to tears. It's about a girl who died in 2019, and Tix got to be at her funeral.

Wow, 17.4% of the voters completely hate it with a passion and gave it 0 points. Not many songs got this treatment. Only Germany and Macedonia got more AFAICT

To be more precise, they hate the fact that he won over Keiino.

 

[Neo]

Yeah that's probably right

To like minority music has always be my thing. Go TIX! Go Jendrik! (Can't say the same for Vasil though )

It's called winner's treatment

It took some time for me to start liking the song, but now I do like it. Even though it's not among my favorites like Ulrikke was, it's a good song that deserves to be heard in the final. And I believe we will hear it.

6 points.

 

[lacrymea]

Rooting for you tonight, dear Tix. Unfortunately, I can't vote. But I'll be sending you good energy

 

[Veronika]

Very best of luck tonight to my favorite of the year, Tix and Norway!

Will be voting several times, of course!
Also painted a big flag to wave it!

To be more precise, they hate the fact that he won over Keiino.

... Or they simply dislike the song

 

[Jopi]

... Or they simply dislike the song

No. He didn't get circa 7k/8k dislikes on the night he was chosen for Norway just bc people didn't like the song.

I know you're a fan of the song, but I don't think the majority here are in Kindergarten and press 0 just because their favs didn't win but I could be wrong...

I am at least not one of them ...

 

[Jopi]

People are weird and childish. I know that for a fact since I was really following the whole situation.

Well, there will always be such people unfortunately, but to assume that the majority who don't like the song is because they have some sort of "childish vendetta"... some people just don't like it

 

[Jopi]

I know that. And I am not talking about those people. But it's a fact that on the night he won MGP he received majority of dislikes (and hatefull comments). That's all.

 

[CPV4931]

Wouldn´t have imagined to write this after MGP this year, but so hoping for TIX to reach the Final tonight :-) He will get some of my votes for sure
