For me this was the best song this year on Eurovision.

Sweden has such a great talent pool of singers.

when children has the right to play whatever instrument for free then the pool of talaneted artist explodes and when some are succeful its gets into the avalance stage which it has

I have a feeling that no one apart from her can sing this song and have the intended effect. She had the perfect mix (and fluctuation of) in her tone of wryness and confidence, it's like witnessing someone musically go through the stages of grief... but in reverse. You can feel the acceptance in her voice at first, that's why the first chorus hit so hard and yet feels so /right/, because like you said it didn't feel as predictable based on the song's context clues, it wasn't the buildup before the call for battle crescendos, but the gentle thump of someone putting their mic down to walk away for their own good. Then slowly the song builds and the colors change from the green of acceptance to the white of bargaining/depression to the furious red of the anger and denial. her voice holds a lot of the song's style, at least for me, and manages to match the tone of the "stage" the song is at. The held together with paper tape and yet trudging on despite the cracks still unhealed of the beginning (with a matching crackly voice), to the end which has a furious intensity of red-hot feelings which are too sensitive to poke without bursting, her voice feels like it's bursting at the seams just like her emotions. amazing

Cornelia actually co- wrote it herself with two other people. It comes from a real break up she had last summer and those were the exact words said at the break up. She is now in a relationship with David Zandin, who wrote the song with her. They became a couple recently:)

Fun fact,she got brutaly rejected when she applied for the Swedish IDOL show. The jury said "your'r not as good as you think" among other things. And one of the jury members was competing in the same erouvision contest for Sweden,She obviusly won and he came in 2nd i belive. I love her voice and wish her all the best in her career.

In another year when she didn't have to contend against Ukraine and, for some reason that even us in the UK can not understand other than Sam Ryder just being a genuine star of a human being, the UK, she probably would have done it. I liked this song so much that I've bought a copy.

@@Ragachagel She would definitely be top 3 which is a great placement no matter what. Spain, Sweden and The UK were all phenomenal this year, I'd be fine with any of them winning. I do like Ukraine but I don't think it should have won. It's definitely top 10 material though.

What really matters is how a song makes a person feel. Firstly, the strings are amazing. As for the singing... absolutely superb. The song is beautiful.

Another one late here 😅 I wish I could delete all my memories and feel this "the first time listening" emotions again, absolutely brilliant performance and genius song

Glad you got around to this! I've probably heard this about a hundred times by now, and love it for many reasons, but especially because of her raw vocal tone and the way it works with the lyrics. Anyone who has found the right one at the wrong time recognises the feeling. (For me it meant a couple of tough years and moving to another country, but it was worth it!) I was expecting you to mention some instruments too, the way they are layered to build up intensity and carry through the calmer parts, but maybe that would take a couple more times of hearing this. Now I have this dream of Cornelia singing a ballad with Måneskin. Her voice would be such an interesting match with Damiano's, they all have so much stage charisma, and if they threw some live strings in the mix too..

Ok, one more time. This song hits me right in my heart, right in my soft spot. One of the best entries in the last years. She makes me believe in what she's feeling and experience, just like I'm she and she is me. No need to explain, just suck in the feeling what her voice and the song brings to you. No need for more than that. It's great!

She added an extra high note to the last chorus at the Grand Final last week. If you haven't already seen it I recommend you check it out. Combined with the cheering from the audience it makes for a really special moment in my opinion :D

Best voice in this eurovision :) 💛💙

A very proffessional evaluation! Like your style! Btw when she was 16, she was kicked out of Swedish Idol, being ”talentless”. Always lived in the musical shadow of her famous rocking father and composing grandma. This Song is her own work. Wish her all luck and success❣️ Go Sweden!

The harmony used in the strings are the heart of this songs emotion, and the melody of the chorus in my opinion. The backing is very emotional film score like.

@@melina7202 Ikr. The most ironic is this: For the past 15-20 years the usual nasty comments are we send the same kind of music and safe choices. We sent something completely different and took risks, it didn't go well (Malena Ernman and Anna Bergendahl). We sent pop songs and ballads. Complaints were it wasn't like Carola and the older Swedish Eurovision song style. Had we sent that complaints had instead been the songs are outdated.... We sent modern pop and dance influenced songs, it did well and gave Sweden two wins the past decade. Complaints were it's nothing original, it's too polished, too manufactured, too perfect with no soul. This year we sent a song that broke away from that. It's not polished and it makes you feel something, we've all been there and experienced heartbreak. But I've seen how the lyrics in the chorus have made people think about departure and farewell with someone else than a partner. A relative or a close friend who died. The negative comments what's bad with the song and what should've been different about it would make it into something too polished, too manufactured, too perfect with no soul. The exact same things that were complained about for the past 5-6 years... The most dumb thing I've seen was someone who said her raspy voice is fake and manufactured. She has a natural rasp in her voice. The second dumbest thing was someone who said the emotions in the song are fake. She co-wrote the song when she was going through a bad break up.

@@lightwalker7123 I now exactly what has been said during the years. And of course some years we have had songs that has not lived up to it and then we should not get the highest score either. But it is a fact that Sweden usually gets much negativity and often. Much more than other countrys ( and sweden is not the only country who sends pop or as they call it generic pop songs or songs in the same genre) and to often you get to hear " if another country will send a song like that they wouldn't qualify and so on) or that we have payed the juries or some other nonsens) I think Europe overall is tired of Sweden participating in the competition. Beacause we mostly get good results or that we have won to much. I don't think that is fair. It is a music competition.... But I agree Cornelia is different, she stands out and she should get cred for that beacause of the quality of the song and she will probably get a very good result this year.

I think everyone can agree that Sweden know how to this Eurovision malarky, so even if you are not the winners, you are top of the table pretty much every time. Some other countries don't seem to have the formula right. For example, after finding out what the lyrics for Serbia's song are about I now believe that she must have written that whilst really drunk.

Thanks from Sweden.

The Show she did on the officiall Wurovision was epic!

She actually won and the best song her voice is beautiful 🥹❤️

There were few decent ones but I feel like this one was clearly the best, emotion, lyrics, performance, chorus, buildups... everything was perfect!

The circle looks like a Monad. The whole stage in Turin is one giant Monad: Monad (philosophy) - in the Pythagoreans, an indivisible unit inspired by the atomists, which constitutes the innermost essence of something. From the monad, the dyad is created, which in turn gives rise to numbers, numbers give rise to points, which gives rise to lines, which gives rise to two-dimensional figures, which gives rise to three-dimensional figures, which gives rise to bodies, which gives rise to the elements earth, water, fire and air, from which the rest of the world is made up. The monad was thus the root of the cosmology of the Pythagoreans. (Source: Diogenes Laertius' book On the lives and thoughts of famous philosophers.) Monad (Gnosticism) - within Gnosticism identical with Christianity's highest, spiritual, real God, who emanated so-called Eons, pairs of lower gods, of which the two most famous are Sophia and Jesus. The Gnostic Valentinus counts as many as 30 such eons (pairs).
