~~~ Lyrics ~~~
You said some words
Didn't hear you fall asleep
People were talking louder
From my TV screen
I heard them scream
It was too dark to see
Don't cry
I'll try to
Say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please don't wake up wake up
Used to think we live
In a world so beautiful
You see
I think I don't believe
In this stuff anymore
Don't cry
I'll try to
Say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please don't wake up wake up
Don't cry
I'll try to
Say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please don't wake up wake up
Please don’t make me wake
Don’t make me wake
Please don’t wake up wake up
(Latvian): Aijā, aijā, saldā miegā (Lull, lull, in sweet sleep)
(Latvian): Aijā, aijā, saldā miegā (Lull, lull, in sweet sleep)

    Had they won the ROTW vote, they would have qualified. Although Serbia would have been in the Top with the ordinary televote and the Global Vote and still wouldn't have made it, which would have been a travesty as well, similar to Albina in 2021. Maybe Latvia should have made it instead of Switzerland.

    Four countries from Semi-final 1 finished in the overall top 5 in the Grand Final of ESC. None of the Semi-final 2 songs did. Latvia was 3 points away from qualifying, finishing 11th. I am 99% convinced that they would have easily qualified from Semi-final 2, if the allocation was just a tad different. Perhaps not even as a borderline, but as 7th/8th. Which is both comforting and frustrating! What a masterpiece Aija is!

This song became instantely my favorite of the whole contest this year. I can connect it with my childhood, and how I'm feeling now. Mother's day in France is close, and each year, since my mother passed on Mother's day, I dedicate her a song. This year, this special song will easily be Aija... That being said, I am not surprised but absolutely gutted this didn't make the finals. Sudden Lights, you may will not win Eurovision, but you won our hearts 🥰

BUT what comes after Eurovision is so much more important and I think they got many, many new fans who will be there to support them
