Great show Milos!
And a little promo!
Here are the lyrics of the Cypriot entry! So deep and meaningful!

The song is a tribute to absolute loneliness. It was written by Sunny Baltzi, after the death of her mother.

Show looks great, Milos!
The music nerd in me is a little annoyed with the fact that songs in a major key are sent to a melancholy spin-off, though. But I suppose even songs with "happy" melodies can be sad to some people.

Great show [MENTION=4368]Milos-BC[/MENTION]
entry background:
"Se me fue" (He/she left) by Myriam Hernandez (1992), is a song dedicated to her beloved grandmother, who suddenly passed away during one of her international tours, she regreted then that she couldn't be with her.
Sixteen years later of its release, in 2008, before a concert in Peru, Myriam Hernandez got to know that the President of her International FanClub, a Peruvian guy who had became a close friend of hers, died in an accident when he was on his way to meet her at the airport. Still shocked, she opened the concert with this song, which was not in the program before the sad news, as an In Memoriam Tribute.

She left saying nothing
I couldn't go with her
to the appointment with the darkness.
I don't know if she missed me or
if she forgave me
I just know that she is not here anymore

SUDIRMAN - "PELANGI PETANG"
(Rainbows at Sunset)
Sudirman is a legendary singer from Malaysia who rose to fame in the 1980s until 1990s. Coined as 'The Singing Lawyer' and 'The Best Asian Performer', he continued to impress with his evergreen songs like "A Thousand Million Smiles", "Salam Terakhir" & "Merisik Khabar".
Behind that cheerful personality and friendly smile, Sudirman has kept his personal life problems a secret. He was divorced from his ex-wife after 2 years of marriage, and was diagnosed with a mysterious disease which led to his death in 1992 at his peak of fame. However, he did hinted out his sorrows and sadness through his songs towards the end of his life.
This song "Pelangi Petang" (Translate: Rainbows at Sunset) is one such song, a song which tells a story of his sorrow and loneliness, and how loved ones come and go like 'rainbows at sunset'.
This song became a hit after it was featured as the soundtrack of the movie 'Kami' in 1990 which tells a story of two street kids who survived the harsh treatment of the society despite their innocence. The song is played in the movie ending in which one kid died after being hit by a car, while the other kid looked on has created a great melancholy image around this song.

Spice Girls - Goodbye
Taken from their 2000 album "Forever", it was recorded after Geri Haliwell left the group. It was the girls' 8th #1 song in the UK and their third straight Christmas #1, making them the first group since The Beatles to accomplish that feat. The song also charted well around the world, earning multiple gold and platinum certifications
What makes this song personal and very sad to me is that it reminds me of loved ones I've lost over the years, especially my maternal grandmother, who passed away in July 1997 - we were very close.

"Förlorad Igen" - Niklas Strömstedt
(Lost Again)
A song that I've loved ever since I was a child. I always thought there was something so sad and melancholic about the melody, that there was a story there, not quite told.
"Lost" here can mean many things, from feeling hopelessness, to being forlorn, forsaken, abandoned, entranced, spellbound etc.
English lyrics translation
The suitcase was packed and my head was full
I left one morning for the sake of suspense
On my way - and all in the world was new
I looked in the mirror and saw someone else
A bottle of whiskey and a one-way ticket
On my way to the most beautiful woman I'd seen
Today - tomorrow your life could be over
Go while you can, before the train has stopped
I am lost again
I am lost again
I am lost again
Love shall conquer
But I am lost again
Alone and astray in a strange land
In the midst of a life that I hardly know
My friend, who knows me better than most
Might have found someone else to love
Looking around, there is none by my side
The road going back is all that I want
Too late, my beloved, always too late
With flowers in hand and eyes looking down
I am lost again
I am lost again
I am lost again
Love shall conquer
But I am lost again
Nothing is too late
Nothing is too late
Nothing is too late
I am lost again
I am lost again
I am lost again
Love shall conquer
But I am lost again
I am lost again
I am lost again
I am lost again
Love shall conquer
But I am lost again

"Vale Decem" by Mark Chambers et al
(Farewell Ten)
"Vale Decem" was the song which incidentally scored the final moments of the Tenth Doctor's life in The End of Time, part two. It was written by Murray Gold and principally sung by Mark Chambers, with chorals by the Crouch End Festival Chorus and orchestration by Ben Foster and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
I loved this song ever since I've heard it for the first time. Combined with the last moments of the Tenth Doctor and the "this song is ending, but the story never ends" phrase said by Ood Sigma. Every Doctor regeneration feels like a funeral. Soooo this is sad, mkay? It makes me cry like a baby

PS: I wanted to send 11th Doctor's farewell song but it was somehow a little bit happy-ish.

Some really nice choices!
Although this spin off teached me that "melancholy" is sth completely subjective!
