/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Melodifestivalen 2023 next show is on the forthcoming Saturday, February the 25th! The fourth heat of the national selection process of Sweden, will take place at Malmö Arena in Malmö.

Back in 26th of February, almost 40 years ago, by just a day, Carola won Melodifestivalen 1983 with the song “Främling“. Now Carola celebrates by returning to where it all began to be a guest at Melodifestivalen on Saturday. She will perform the Swedish winning songs “Främling” (1983) by Lasse Holm and Monica Forsberg, “Fångad av en stormvind” (1991) written by Carola herself and Stephan Berg as well as “Evighet” (2006) written by Bobby Ljunggren, Carola, Henrik Wikström and Thomas G:son.  Fourty years later, there are seven contestants, bidding to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 to be held in Liverpool.

A while ago, SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster released the lyrics of all seven competing songs, of the fourth heat.

You can read the lyrics of the fourth heat songs below:

  1. Kiana – Where Did You Go (Writers: Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb)
    So many times I asked myself

    I need to know

    Where did you go?

    I felt so left out in the rain

    Come numb the pain

    Where did you go?

    I wanna know

    Everyday time I get lost in emotions

    I wish I could turn back time

    In my dreams I imagine that you’re still mine

    Under the stars

    That’s where I found you

    (I found you)

    Under the stars

    That’s where I found you

    (I found you)

    (I wanna know)

    Where did you go

    Where did you go

    Where did you go

    Where did you go?

    (I wanna know)

    Under the stars

    That’s where I found you

    Where did you go

    Where did you go

    Where did you go

    Where did you go?

    Oh oh oh oh oh

    Oh oh oh oh oh

    Where did you go

    Where did you go

    Where did you go

    Where did you go?

    Oh oh oh oh oh

    Oh oh oh oh oh

    A drive by the ocean

    With The Weeknd playin’ on the radio

    Where did you go?

    You and me were chasing dreams

    Oh boy you had me at hello

    So where did you go?

    In my dreams I imagine that you’re still mine

    Under the stars

    That’s where I found you

    (I found you)

    Under the stars

    That’s where I found you

    (I found you)

    I wanna know

    (I wanna know)

    Where did you go,

    Where did you go,

    Where did you go,

    Where did you go?

    Oh oh oh oh oh

    Oh oh oh oh oh

    Where did you go,

    Where did you go,

    Where did you go,

    Where did you go?

    I wanna know

    Under the stars

    (Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?)

    That’s where I found you

    (Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

    Under the stars

    (Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?)

    That’s where I found you

    (Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

    Where did you go

    Where did you go

    Where did you go?

  2. Signe & Hjördis – Edelweiss (Writers: Anderz Wrethov, Jimmy Jansson, Myra Granberg)
    När regnet öser ovanför

    Så tänker jag på dig

    Hur något vissnat inom dig

    Hur du inte hittat hem

    För jag vet, och jag ser

    Jag har alltid sett

    När du ler

    Finns det mer

    Inuti

    Men när vinden dansar över ängarna

    Så talar träden om hjältemod

    Hör grönskan spela över strängarna

    Låt dom sjunga om vår edelweiss

    Och när hoppet ekar över vidderna

    Ska blomster växa ur våra sår

    Vi skålar för dom gamla minnena

    Och sjunger om vår edelweiss

    Ett litet frö där inom dig

    Som aldrig fick slå rot

    Men tårarna ska rädda det

    Att växa och bli stort

    För jag vet, och jag ser

    Jag har alltid sett det

    När du ler

    Finns det mer

    Inuti

    Men när vinden dansar över ängarna

    Så talar träden om hjältemod

    Hör grönskan spela över strängarna

    Låt dom sjunga om vår edelweiss

    Och när hoppet ekar över vidderna

    Ska blomster växa ur våra sår

    Vi skålar för dom gamla minnena

    Och sjunger om vår edelweiss

    Säg mig om du inte längre tror

    Det är i mörkret som det finaste får gro

    Men när vinden dansar över ängarna

    Så talar träden om hjältemod

    Hör grönskan spela över strängarna

    Låt dom sjunga om vår edelweiss

    Och när hoppet ekar över vidderna

    Ska blomster växa ur våra sår

    Vi skålar för dom gamla minnena

    Och sjunger om vår edelweiss

    Och sjunger om vår edelweiss

  3. Smash Into Pieces – Six Feet Under (Writers: Andreas ”Giri” Lindbergh, Benjamin Jennebo, Chris Adam, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb, Per Bergquist)
    I’m six feet under

    Like I’m buried alive

    We’re so game over

    But we keep holding the line

    You fight me and I fight back

    And when you come back

    We get up and we do it again

    I’m turning to a shadow

    I can’t let go

    Though it’s wrong

    I don’t want it to end

    Better safe than sorry

    Better safe than sorry

    Felt so right now what are we?

    So turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

    We’re on the edge

    We’re miles apart

    And I’m six feet under

    Diggin’ down my heart

    We’re on the edge

    We keep falling down

    ’Til I’m six feet under

    Diggin’ down my heart

    ’Til I’m six feet under

    ’Til I’m six feet under

    ’Til I’m six feet under

    We’re in a maze now

    Playing arcade and I’m lost

    Counting our days now

    I’m in a straight jacket

    No matter the cost

    You fight me and I fight back

    And when you come back

    We get up and we do it again

    I’m turning to a shadow

    I can’t let go

    Though it’s wrong

    I don’t want it to end

    Better safe than sorry

    Better safe than sorry

    Felt so right, now what are we?

    So turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

    We’re on the edge

    We’re miles apart

    And I’m six feet under

    Diggin’ down my heart

    We’re on the edge

    We keep falling down

    ’Til I’m six feet under

    Diggin’ down my heart

    We’re on the edge

    We’re miles apart

    And I’m six feet under

    We’re on the edge

    We’re miles apart

    And I’m six feet under

    Diggin’ down my heart

    We’re on the edge

    We keep falling down

    (Keep falling down)

    ’Til I’m six feet under

    Diggin’ down my heart

    ’Til I’m six feet under

    ’Til I’m six feet under

    ’Til I’m six feet under

  4. Mariette – One Day (Writers: Jimmy Jansson, Thomas G:son, Mariette)
    I know that sometimes I’ve been lost

    But never try to hold me down

    I’m never givin’ up

    (Ain’t givin’ up)

    There’ll come a day that’s made for us

    I promise we’ll be standing there

    As the winners of our time

    One day we’ll ride out the storm

    We’re sailing with tomorrow in our hands

    And one day we’ll find our way home

    Another time, another place

    Somewhere there’s a promised land

    That’s waiting just for us

    (Just for us)

    Leave all your worries and regrets

    And forget about yesterday

    We’re heading for the skies

    If we get caught

    For who we are

    I take the fall

    One day we’ll ride out the storm

    We’re sailing with tomorrow in our hands

    And one day we’ll find our way home

    We’ll take the chance

    The power is our own

    What do you say

    (What do you say)

    So what do you say

    (So what do you say)

    We can be kings and queens

    Our dreams will be our throne

    Cos one day we’ll find our way home

    We’ll take the chance

    The power is our own

    We can make it

    We can make it

    We can make it

    We can make it

    One day we’ll ride out the storm

    We’re sailing with tomorrow in our hands

    Ooh, one day we’ll find our way home

    We’ll take the chance

    The power is our own

IT’S OFFICIAL: Marco Mengoni will sing Due Vite in Eurovision 2023!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Earlier today, it became known from the official Eurovision YouTube channel that the winner of the 73rd Festival di Sanremo, Marco Mengoni will represent Italy in Eurovision 2023 with his song “Due Vite”. Specifically, the Eurovision YouTube channel published his live performance from the Sanremo Festival.

Here is the published video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etn8d1x5Byk

 

We already knew that the popular Italian artist wanted to return to Eurovision after his last attempt in 2013 with the song “L’ essenziale” that ended up in 7th place at the Grand Final. Although, he hadn’t decided if he wanted to go with his winning Sanremo entry. In a previous interview with TG1, Marco Mengoni did not seem to be sure about the song with which he would take part in Eurovision for the second time, since as he mentioned he was thinking about not competing in Liverpool with Due Vite, but with another song.

The last time an Italian representative did not take part in Eurovision by participating in Sanremo was Nina Zilli, who replaced Per Semper with L’amore è femmina, eventually finishing ninth in Baku.

Here is his 2013 entry:

Luke Black: Eurovision is very conceptual and elaborate | Exclusive Interview

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Luke Black from Serbia gave an exclusive interview to EurovisionFun and Paschalis, talking about his song “Samo mi se spava“. Luke Black is taking part with this song in this year’s Pesma za evroviziju, hoping to represent Serbia in Eurovision 2023.

Who is Luke Black?

I’m a musician from Serbia that has been making music for quite a while. I don’t write much, but when I write I decide to make it a project and then I release it. I was born in a small town in Serbia and spent my early years in Belgrade. I live in London and that’s where the learning process for me started. I do electronic pop music that flirts with different styles and genres from project to project.

When I started, I used to listen to british pop and rock and music like David Bowie and then the Beatles. My inspiration was John Lennon. When I was a teenager I discovered Lady Gaga and I guess my music taste has changed since then. I still haven’t found anyone else with such an impact to my creativity as Lady Gaga.

Some things about the song

Samo mi se spava means I just wanna sleep. It’s about sleeping. I spent the last years very alieanted from the world, especially throughout the pandemic. I immersed myself into my bed, video games and anime and that’s how the song was created. It is basically about the feeling of isolation that people are feeling throughout the world. It is an embrace of the innocence. I think sleep is one of the most innocent places where one can go and feel safe outside of the world.

The song was made in 2020, in April. It was a nice collaboration I had. I worked at first with an old friend from Lebanon who lives in the US and he sent me the piano introduction of the song. With what was going on in the world melodies kept on coming. We actually finished the song in fifteen minutes on zoom. It was one of those moments of inspiration that rarely happen. Later on I worked more with a friend from Canada and colleagues from London and we elevated the track.

Last year Konstrakta sent her song and I felt it was the right time to do that. I tweeted joking about it and people felt excited said I should go, so I couldn’t say no.

Does Luke like other songs from Pesma za evroviziju?

I have listened to some of them and I was quite surprised with the amount of bangers. I was outside the musical culture of Serbia, but I’m happy that there are so many artists that do pop music in a great way. There’s a guy called Filip whose song I really like and a guy called Gipsii. Everybody is great in their way and there’s balance.

Konstrakta is a genious. Her lyrics have always been mature and thoughtful, like poetry. Before that I enjoyed Eurovision as a european contest, but I didn’t enjoy the serbian selection. I felt there wasn’t a place for me. Konstrakta definitely changed the game. I’m glad that people in my country appreciate more modern and conceptual sounds. Eurovision is very conceptual and elaborate.

What are his favorite Eurovision entries?

Maneskin is something I enjoyed. I wanted to feel more rock vibes in Eurovision and I think lots of teenagers were attracted to the singer and started to listen more to rock music.

His message to the readers and viewers

Lots of love from Serbia! I really hope you enjoy Samo mi se spava and I hope to see you in Eurovision in Liverpool this year!

We would like to thank Luke Black for his interview and wish him best of luck!

Although only 24 years old, Robin has been in the music industry since the age of 13 and is now considered one of the biggest names on the Finnish pop scene! On how he made the decision to take part in UMK 2023, he said:

“I am happy that this year I am taking part in the national final! Almost every year I had an offer to participate but there was always something else in my career and I couldn’t! At this moment I think the time has come and of course I have the right song”

Regarding the participation of “Girls Like You”, he told us the following:

“The song was not written exclusively for the competition! Last year I was in Los Angeles for the creation of the next international album and as soon as I heard the song I said that it is the best I have created! I didn’t want this song to be just another single and that’s how the idea of UMK came about!”

“If I were asked to describe myself with one song it would be ‘Girls Like You’, both in terms of sound and lyrics!”

Regarding his choice to participate with a song in English , he said that he wanted to try something different as he believes that he has offered for many years what he had to give to his country and now it’s time to try his luck to a bigger audience, that of Europe!

This year’s Finnish national final will take place in the city of Turku, which is also the birthplace of the young singer and of course he couldn’t help but express his joy to compete in his “home” and maybe have a small lead, as he said jokingly.

About his stage appearance Robin revealed to us:

“My appearance in the national final will be “dangerous” and will have nothing to do with the aesthetics of the video clip! On the stage there will be props and a lot of acrobatics, which I have been doing since I was a child!”

His favorite Finnish entry states that they are Blind Channel (Finland 2021), with whom they collaborated recently and have the same producers, while as his favorite entry of the competition he preferred a recent favorite of his, “Slo Mo” from Channel.

At the end he sang a part of his participation:
