Rona Nishliu |
Nishliu was once a contestant on Albanian Idol (who knew that Albania had Idol?) and her song is something we have come to expect from the country. It's a ballad that slowly builds and when I say slowly, it's almost at a snail's pace. Apparently, she wrote the lyrics which no-one else will understand, as it will no doubt be sung in her native language. All credit to Albania for that, but it does hold them at a disadvantage over other songs which will be entirely more accessible to voters across Europe.
I've listened to it a couple of times, but I haven't discovered any discernible hook. In fact, for the most part, it makes you want to doze off. That's until you're unceremoniously woken up by Ms Nishliu howling and screaming towards the end of the song.
I can't see this one getting past the semi-final stages, but you might think differently?
"Suus"
ReplyDeleteIn this world, love lives no more
Time has no time for us anymore, no
Noo, oh
Noo... oh...
Time has no time for us anymore
My airplane lands
On your souls's runway without lights.
They elbow their way and rise today,
Those who couldn't live yesterday.
But yesterdays have no importance
they were devoured by stormy seas.
Oh, tomorrows won't bring anything,
Only hope without hope and madness...
Let me cry... cry... cry...
Cause this is the best I can do now
Cause this is the best I can do now
Let me cry... cry... cry...
Cause this is the best I can do now
Cause this is the best I can do now
Let me cry... cry... cry...
Cause this is the best I can do now
Cause this is the best I can do now
Rona's song "Suus" is one of the most distinguisht songs of the ESC 2012!
ReplyDeleteIt has special meaning, special structure, writen by the the singer itself.
This is not a stupid song with some na-na-na & tra-la-la on it!
Kudos to Albania! Nailed it!
stupid text she is refering to kosovo people who elbow thei way to the top but yesterday could not stay alive, what an idiot she is
ReplyDeleteI think this song is powerful, and really connects. It makes my hairs stand up every time I hear it, and I wish it won!
