Poland POLAND 2021 - RAFAŁ - The Ride

[escYOUnited]

Lights, beaming down the rainy street
All the faces that I meet tell me I'm wrong
Ride, staring at the neon signs
Making up a storyline, gotta hold on
Not lost, even in the death of night
I can make it out alright
Just let me go
Yeah, I, I will make it through somehow
Let me figure out what is in and out

So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
High above ground, living it now
I'm gonna take you to the end of the line
Taking that fight, make it alright
It doesn't matter if I stumble and fall
I'll make it through, I'll never touch the ground
So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
Hold on real tight, make it alright

Hard, I won't give my heart and soul
I am going for the glow, no looking back
I'm gonna rise high up in the atmosphere
I ain't got no time to fear
Follow my tracks

Not lost, following the neon lights
Shooting through the summer skies
Just let me go
Yeah I, I will make it through somehow
Let me figure out what is in and out

So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
High above ground, living it now
I'm gonna take you to the end of the line
Taking that fight, make it alright
It doesn't matter if I stumble and fall
I'll make it through, I'll never touch the ground
So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
Hold on real tight, make it alright

I'm gonna take all the world tonight (Oh-woah-oh-oh)
Not gonna ask, gonna take what's mine (Oh-woah-oh-oh)
So hold on tight, baby, let's get high (Oh-woah-oh-oh)
High above the ground
Ride, staring at the neon signs
Let me figure out what is in and out

So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
High above ground, living it now
I'm gonna take you to the end of the line
Taking that fight, make it alright
It doesn't matter if I stumble and fall
I'll make it through, I'll never touch the ground
So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
Hold on real tight, make it alright​

I would die if it turned out to be her, but she must take Vito with her. To me, the tone of his voice is the best part of the song.

An English version of Ale jazz! ? How do you know it's even been recorded?

She sang part of it in English during online concert here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=853083172200639&ref=external (from 11:14)

Yes to Sanah

NOOOO to English

 

[Mrm]

Trolling right?

Of course not!

Her MF entry has 800 000 + views on this Polish channel, and all comments in Polish..she is so popular there..

I hope TVP want to win and take ESC to Warsaw finally, thus choose dear Veronica for Rotterdam!

You complain about "trash" in other threads but proposed an NF with just trashy acts that either don't even exist any longer or have no careers (for logical reasons)

I just complain about Oriental fake ethnic trash.. Nordic one and Disco polo are more than welcome!

Don't you find awsome Verona's songs in Italian language, with that hard 90s, early 00s beat, don't they just warm up your soul A-lister!?

They are so intense, yet so gentle, they can almost be performed by Scooter!

Ah ok so some trash is ok

But why should Poland send a has-been Czech Eurodance act that randomly sings in Italian and once entered MF?

Wait, is she Czech?? I always though ther name was Veronica Andersson!

It is my fave MF entry EVER!

And Man Meadow took part in Polish NF twice.. Bless 'em..

If not, we can agree in the end on stunning Izabela Kopec...I accept her with arms wide open..

Goosh, how I loved Polish NFs in 00s.. You cant even imagine dear A-lister..
And the moment I saw Isis Gee in Belgrade, here on the street live, during 2008 ESC, I almost passed, you are lucky to have me now here, I somehow stayed alive..

I'd also pick Margo with AMAZING "Dlatego Walcz".. oooh don't even remind me of those brilliant and awesome NFs..

 

[Mrm]

@A-lister

Woud you allow at least Martin Rolinski and Kasia Cerekwicka? Please say yes!

Actually they are a Czech Eurodance group to be more precise...

Man Meadow was a flop project that Bard tried to send to MF but was never accepted there, you know the group doesn't exist right and no one even know about that it ever existed? (well except for us two... I bet Bard already forgot about them himself )

I am not sure what to say as Polish NFs were pretty terrible, BUT I will admit there were a couple of decent entries that should have gone to ESC like Blue Café (2003), Kasa Cerekwicka (2006), Margaret (2016)

TVP better hurry up. Only 45 minutes left to present us the third clue.

 

[Mrm]

?

All those "Dum tek tek"s blah, blah, blah..

And don't ask me abut "Rimi rimi ley"..that one is great, it features real Anatloan Turkish ethnic elements!

 

[I bims]

Margaret (2016)

I was shocked that it was a "eurovision song" and that they didn't send it

 

[Mrm]

Do you know how they appeared at 2007 MF, to compete?

 

[Mrm]

But Michal Szpak was so much better, he did really great in Stockholm in 2016, especialy with audience, bless him..

Yeah I mean he def was the right choice but I was still really surprised

 

[A-lister]

Oh gosh you're actually right, the Verona from MF isn't the same as the Czech Verona... my bad

For some reason I thought this was the same act!!!

Margaret was a lost opportunity for Poland, sure she was sold as a low budget white Rihanna without a sound of her own and she isn't particularly a good live singer, but "Cool Me Down" still felt like surprisingly "contemporary" for Eurovision standards and had cross-over appeal while Szpak's song... well... if that wasn't a cliché of a clichéd Eurovision ballad then I dunno

 

[Mainshow]

If Eric Saade whose "vocal abilities" are as bad as or even worse than Maraget's ones was able to finish #3 in Eurovision, I'm pretty sure that "Cool Me Down" could have reached a better position than Michal Spzak back in 2016. That song had winner written all over it.
