This song won Composers Award. That award that Bjorkman usually hands out before the Grand Finals.

That instrumental break is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard

They purposely didn’t say what he did because they wanted listeners to insert their own story into the song.

It’s all about your past relationships. Probably they’ve hurt someone and are still feeling guilty about it and de themselves as “monsters” and want to tell “hey maybe it’s not a good idea to be with me. I can hurt you emotionally and I don’t want to do it”. And it fits in every person. Everybody is at last a little guilty about something from a previous relationship. Also I see Debra singing from her own perspective, due to what I wrote. It’s an amazing song, a masterpiece.

You don't like duets, Jake, but this Norwegian and the upcoming Estonian entry will once and for all change your mind!

THEY WON *BEST SONG* THAT YEAR. I MEAN *BEST LYRIC*

Legend has it that they somehow missed the deadline for the staging and the LED screen, so they were forced to only work with the spotlights and the yellow/orange lighting. And it turned out to be just the right decision to work with such a simple and reduced staging.

Thank you for this reaction! I loved Norway, I thought they were both amazing and Debrah is beautiful. I am so excited to watch your reaction to Estonia, (another duet!) which was my favorite in 2015 and is probably my best ESC song of all times (for some personal reasons as well :) )

To me, this song, without a shadow of a doubt, is the BEST Eurovision ballad ever. It was simple and both Morland and Debrah delivered a powerful performance. Like you, I also have a personal connection to this song. This song came out around the same time I was coming into terms with my sexuality, when I felt the worst about myself. Music and talking about experiences really help in healing. Thank you for sharing your experiences, Jake. Stay awesome!

This song is so good! It makes you press replay on and on.

I think Mørland’s character in the song killed someone. It’s never answered. If you enjoyed this one, you’ll love Estonia’s duet. And yes, I agree, you lay down all your armor (ha, Denmark 2017) to someone, and worry they’ll reject you, so you try to end the friendship/relationship to “protect” them from you, but they stay because they care regardless of the past. I see Debrah’s character negating his “I better let you go” and wanting to stay on her own volition simply because she wants to, and she cares. I know where you’re coming from, and it’s not a good place. I’ve been there too. It’s all about finding the right people who’ll stick around no matter what and who won’t care about the past, who’ll want to make a better future as friends, partners, etc.

I love love love this song! My 2nd favorite of 2015 and one of my all time favorites. The final chorus gives me chills every time. Should have finished top 3!

I love the feeling that you never knew what they "did", they have one of the most powerful official videos, this was my personal winner along with Estonia.

and now jake will react to part two of this song which is estonia in 7th place

Wow this song was surprisingly good! And yet, i have three years later i have no memory of hearing/seeing this back in 2015. It's nice to rewatch past contests with you.

This is one of my favorite songs. The Estonian duet is fabulous too. Jake, do not sabotage yourself. You deserve to be happy. Give yourself this opportunity, you owe it to you! You share so much of yourself. It is beautiful the humble and felt way in which you reveal your vulnerability and your humanity. You are a beautiful person who definitely deserves to be happy. Do not sabotage yourself, Jake, let yourself go ... surrender to the right that you have to be happy. Thank you for the wonderful and beautifull reaction. Divine

Jake’s Face Reacts I could not tell you anything other than what I said! You said you carry a baggage from the past ... everyone carries a baggage from the past. Only those who did not live didn't have a past. No one has the right to judge. We should rather raise people's self-esteem and self-esteem as well. You said you were not a great person, or I might have misunderstood. Do not do this to yourself. You are aware of yourself and others. That alone makes you a great person. But I believe you are much more than that. Give yourself an opportunity to be happy, because in fact you deserve it. I've been in your shoes. I know what it is to think that we are not good enough at anything or to enyone and for that we do not deserve to be happy. We deserve it. You, me, and so many other people ... Be happy Jake. You make me happy and so many other people just because you are such a great person. You are human. And that means everything... People like you renew my hope in humanity. So do me a favor, and do yourself a favor ... Let yourself be happy, you really deserve it. Peace❤✌

Greetings from Bergen Norway. I LOVE this song and because I listened to this today I found your reaction. Love that you loved it. Debrah was 23 here and she was in the Voice Norway the year before. I also love Mørland and his voice and he wrote these interesting lyrics

Only really realising now that she sings the final "monster like me" which adds a twist, still an eerily beautiful song

They just never tell what happened! Hahaha but they were great! You’re gonna love whats coming next!

while this isn’t my favorite to win MGP, it’s a beautiful breakup song and a wonderful duet! Performing before Sweden didn’t help! Speaking of MGP 2015, check out the 2nd and 3rd place songs from that year, “Thunderstruck” (my personal pick) and “En Godt Skekt Pizza” (total LOL) for your instant react video. They also used a live orchestra that year’s Nat. Final! Another LOL entry is “Laika” from 2016’s MGP! Part 2 of amazing break up songs that featured amazing duets is next. That’s Estonia.

Your comment about the song after it ended was so spot on, we sabotage ourselves when things are going out way simply because we're not used to it, and we end up pushing people amazing people away from our lives. Now get ready, next up, a song about someone feeling they're not good enough for their partner, and said partner telling them they're meant for each other, even though one of them walked out of the other's life already, oh emotions!

Out of all these masterpieces this was my favourite 😊

I loved Silent Storm, still sometimes listen to it. But I guess one vote doesn't mean much.

Next to Italy - this is my favourite from 2015. Musically speaking - it is flawless. I particularly got attached to the song after a friend send me an extended version - almost 6 minutes long - of the song where the instrumental version was combined with the original track - and wow! simply wow! I still have it on my phone and I listen to it quite often, it's just gorgeous from start to finish. They are both extremely good looking, I find, and indeed his voice is superb: sharp, precise, in full control and just beautiful to listen to. This is a work of art, and I love it.

You are right in your analyzes. The message is to have a past and it's better that he let her go. The past could be anything. He sais that his mind went blanc and that he lost control. Kjetil Mørland sais in an interview that the song is about the question of worth being loved because of this person's past: more like «I did this and that several years ago, I'm not worth to be loved.». Lots of people have something they have said or done that they are ashamed of later. Bad things or worse things. The reason for why it didn't be in the lyrics what his charachter on stage did (because this is more a role play) is that it could refer to what ever it was. He lost control. That's all. It's about not losing faith in yourself as person, believing that you are a good person because of your mistakes.

The song was written by Morland as a solo piece, so it was not mend to be a duet. After they decided they decided to sing it as a duet they also decided not to change any lyrics so that they both sing the lyrics from the same perspective. And it remains a mystery what his/her big secret is.

One of my favs songs of all esc history

This is the sort of music that wins awards and could easily be the showstopper for an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Of course no one takes any notice because it's Eurovision. You have to see the video which is equally like a masterpiece - sort of Norwegian chic noir.

i went to high school with that guy,we both comes from a little town in norway called grimstad,where everybody knows eachother.i was shocked to see him on eurovision.

Love this song! Can't wait for Top 5💕💕

The Scandanavian Countries always send quality song's, always have.

One of my favorite song ever.

YES! Thnx Jake!

This was one of my favourites in 2015. Maybe because this is very similar to "Say Something". And that is one of my all time favourite songs. I just like this kind of music. But 8th place was actually very good place for them, just a beautiful ballad without dancing and fireworks.

I absolutely love his vocals

We all have our own stories and most of us can relate to the lyrics. I saw that moment you felt your story, in your eyes.

My 2nd placer that year, that opening verses really stuck to me in like, did he kill somebody or what?? And the music video of this is absolutely crazy, the best MV of 2015...

I must admit this is better than i remembèr i enoyed that.

Love this!

Yes, I was waiting for this, I love this song! :) By the way, I want to know what he did too :D Now I can't wait for Belgium!

I'm norwegian and this along with the entries for 2013 and 2014 are my all time favorites from norway in the ESC. You should react to both Margaret Berger - I feed you my love from 2013 and Carl Espen - Silent storm from 2014 as well.

chills. everytime.

Norway's best entry since 2009! Beautiful arrangement and melodies. I remember watching/hearing this the first time in Melodi Grand Prix and I was skeptical, but after the Eurovision performance I was sold. Funny how that works. I feel bad for not loving this immediately. P.S. The letter ø is pronounced like the u in "but".

Hi Jake. There are so many forgotten masterpieces in Eurovision history. " Rapsodia" from Italy 1992 is one of them. Would You please react to this. PRETTY PLEASE.

While I like this song and think the performance was really clean and spot on, I just never get moved by it. Still, I respect it.

Best Norway entry ever

The reaction on your face as the singer sings: I'd better let you go. For the first time, says a story about you. It's clear the song is taking you somewhere. Or am I wrong?

Great response :) please check out the music video for this song, it's really good

I DON'T REMEMBER THIS SONG OMG! 😧Their voices are amazing but the song itself was not memorable (I liked THIS TIME/I'M FEELING LOVE or whatever the name of the song was much more than this one).

I kind of like this now. Back in 2015 I did not understand the hype about this song. Instant request pleaaaassse (I am being persistent on this requests) Molly Pettersson Hammar "I'll be fine", Linda Pritchard "Alive" or Isa "I will wait" (all of them live at Melodifestivalen) thank you!
