It's 2024 - this song is TWENTY years old, and I still like to revisit it every year. Beautiful melody, performed exquisitely.

One of the most beautifully crafted melodies in the history of ESC..And definitively the most criminally UNDERRATED...

It was definitely the mostunder-rated song in 2004. There was some real crap in 2004....and yet this did so bad. I would have had it at least top 5, maybe even top 3.

I've listened to this song every year, ahead of ESC, and I think to myself no way this deserved last place. Should have finished higher.

This song really did not deserve the last place.

after many years - this haunted me this morning :) so beautiful !! i loved this one ..and i still do

Injustice, this deserved top 10 at least. Beautifully sung (the backings are amazing) and a wonderful song with a strong message. It was my fav back then and still is, love it.

Agreed. I'm still feeling a little bit ashamed of the results for Sørum if you think that Shake it mi amor (Sakis Rouvas/Greece) went 3rd place. Is it a Song Contest or Fab-Ab contest?

Casto Ono I agree, it is HottieVision not Eurovision in this case - however I always found Scandinavian guys like Knut more sexy than this Greek guy who has reached top 10 twice only because of his looks.

Just 3 points from Sweden and finishing bottom . Yeah i don't get that at all . Solid song , performance, voice and they look great together ❤ deffo my 1st of 2004 , Belgium right up there too another brilliant song .

WHY DID THIS SONG FINISH THE CONTEST IN LAST PLACE? It has a really beautiful sound and may be the best last place song in the Eurovision Song Contest in the last 25 years (except 2020). It's a beautiful song and it definitely didn't deserve to be the last one. Greetings from Turkey to Norway. 🇹🇷 🇳🇴

This song was one of my favorites that year! Definitely not last place worthy! One of my favorite Norwegian entries! Unpopular Opinion: Better than Fairytale!

If there was any song in the 21st Century that _should not have been_ last place, if you ask me, this would be it. Sørum's voice was strong, and the song's composition was endearing. Part of me wants to see him return to Eurovision and outdo himself.

It's kinda anonymous and plain, but nowhere near being last for me. Bosnia, Romania, Russia or Poland should have been last.

Did not deserve last place.

Canción muy bonita, quizá nada extraordinaria pero desde luego solvente. Tema estupendo, sonido envolvente y estribillo pegadizo, tal vez muy cool. Knut Anders Sørum es mono, no canta mal, su look informal y desenvuelto. Su puesto trigésimo quinto con 3 Puntitos de mierda es algo muy injusto!!! Escuchar los primeros acordes y pensar, me acuerdo de ella! 10 Puntazos!

The best song! from 2004! omg i can't believe :( LAST PLACE! SHAME ON YOU EUROPE!:?

For the success in Eurovision, vocals should sound strong and clear, preferably in high pitch.

I've thought that ever since the night of the final.

Why did it come last? One of the best underrated entries in the Eurovision history!

You may ask Europe about this. I voted for it in Norway, could do nothing in Eurovision since I am Norwegian!!!! But all in Europe could say: It's a top 10 song, but I like this and that better and vote for those songs. Maybe that's how it works. But Knut Anders is a happy man now, soon to release his new album. Besides taking part in Stjernekamp, which is mentioned! All fans of him could follow him there on KZread or Nrk1 every Saturday, if you could recieve NRK 1 where you live!! He is just awesome!'##Stjernekamp.

you could compare it to the Norwegian final. Try Melodi Grand Prix 2004 High, Knut Anders Sørum.

+Joanna Sowoska. Knut Anders is a nice chap from Skreia, from the district of eastern Toten some miles from Gjøvik where parts of the Olymic games of 1994 took place. Toten does also belong to the district of Mjøsa, the largest lake of Norway. It's not accually the same as Athens and the Mediterranian sea. Forgive me my spelling. But does it really matter where you come from???
