~~~ Lyrics ~~~
Don’t look now
You’ll see me crying rivers I might drown
Don’t know how
Oh will I ever find my own way out
I don’t wanna lose me so cruelly
I’m drifting in and out of who I am
So help me understand
It’s killing me slow
Try to make me just another believer
Everybody just pretending they're preachers, preachers
It's killing me slow
Yeah I'd rather let them dig my grave shallow
Instead of selling out to something so hollow, hollow
Not afraid
Oh to tell you all my sins I can’t escape
No I won’t change
Woah it's like a bad disease that I can’t shake
I don’t wanna lose me so cruelly
I’m drifting in and out of who I am
So help me understand
It’s killing me slow
They try to make me just another believer
Everybody just pretending they're preachers, preachers
It's killing me slow
Yeah I'd rather let them dig my grave shallow
Instead of selling out to something so hollow

    The dark horse of Eurovision. I had never payed attention to his song until i saw his performance tonight. His humble shy personality got me, such a contrast with his soul and his powerful voice! When he cried i liked him even more. I hope people will vote for him tonight, Dons deserves a place at the finals. Love from Greece!💙

    What a performance! Absolutely nailed his delivery. The fact that he flipped the odds completely shows that people are starting to get it. He's not pandering to the crowd with a flashy show, lack of trousers, or other novelties, he's simply a person with a microphone singing a message for everyone of us who has ever felt unheard. It grows on you and resonates deeper the more you reflect on the lyrics; it's not a depressing song; it's an inspirational one, to love yourself and be a better person for it. I'm hoping that by Saturday people will be singing along to it, like I am, even when I'm just at work or cooking dinner.

    Listening to this again today, and it never fails to bring me to tears. Imagine going on stage, knowing the bookmakers think you'll never make it. You know you're in the last place, and that chances for making it are low according to odds. He must have been so nervous and sad, because he has truly been underappreciated. And STILL he delivered his performance with excellence. I just want to give him a huge hug, because he truly deserves to be there. Finally, people proved that true artists CAN make it in Eurovision. This performance is what art is.

You're absolutely right by the way and, I don't know y'all, but I'm getting very tired of all these "wannabe Jennifer Lopez", each of them singing the exact same song with the exact same choreography.

    What a song, what a personality! The lyrics of the song are absolutely stunning and this performance will definitely go down in history, I don't know English well, when I saw the lyrics I was stunned, I've been listening to it over and over since yesterday, and that emotion of Dons at the end is so beautiful and true, and it says a lot about his soul which is pure, this song has something amazing in it, and the emotions it brings are wonderful, what a performance, what a lyrics, This performance has already gone down in history, I hope everyone will see it, because it is wonderful, Latvia really has a chance to win, which I wish it with all my heart!!! Greetings and I bring you all a lot of love from Poland, Latvia, we are with you. Love from Poland to everyone🤗 🇵🇱❤️🇱🇻

    As a Latvian, I did not expect this. I was shocked to hear the first announced country was mine. Wow! Blew all the _'Bookmeikoors'_ into the dirt. 👏 I love this ballad. It's beautiful and sincere. Hopefully, Europe will open their eyes and listen to the beauty of this song and it's lyrics. 🙏

    Me too! I think it was the emotional delivery! He felt almost "too perfect" or slick before this. Seeing his emotions at the end, but also singing to the cameras more, while still being his poised self, a very good mix. It was very authentic and powerful. I think not having that many male ballads this year helped him. And Mustii being off key/pitch/tempo (which broke my heart). And that bridge in Don's song. Wow. I am worried that Slimane will eat his points tomorrow, but I'll send him some votes for sure!
