However, the content of the song is very much in keeping with the theme of this year's Contest: We Are One. It's nothing like what one would expect from a Salvation Army band, expect that the lyrics have a message of "unity in shared values":
Let it hear from near and far
This is how it’s meant to be
We’re together you and meThis rock ballad zips along nicely, with a memorable refrain and an anthemic chorus. I foresee lots of arm waving in the crowd along with a substantial amount of televotes. It should qualify easily for the final, but I don't see it worrying the current front runners for the trophy.
Switzerland also have the advantage of performing as the penultimate act (16th) in the second semi-final on May 16.
How well do you think the Swiss song will place?
I like "You and Me" but I think it is not particularly memorable. It benefits from being in the more open SF2 and singing second to last but there are stronger entries out there and I have a feeling it might just miss out on the Final. It may come down to relying on other acts not performing well...
ReplyDeleteIf it does make it to the Final, a high position on the right hand side of the board is the best it can hope for...
