Rosti is a good pop rock and country singer; it should either have been her or Norway's Guldbransen. Yet it was the soppy Sean Sherrard aka. Johnny Logan who won, maybe because he sang in English...

Unfortunately completely underrated. This song deserved a much higher placing.

Love it still! Heja Finland från Sverige.

Proud that my country the Netherlands gave this awesome song 8 points (25% of the total votes) so underrated, this should be at least in top 3 of 1987 or even better the winner, cause it is one of my ever time favourites in Eurovision, 12 points from me!

Another brilliant Finnish song that deserved better

The true winner of 1987, my number 1, definitely. Unfortunately only the juries from Norway (10 points) and my own country The Netherlands (8 points) understood the strength and power of this song. Very underrated.

Somehow I have a soft spot for Finland in Eurovision and like the majority of their entries. Right from the early sixties to now. But this is one of my absolute favorites from Finland and from Eurovision in general. Such an amazing song and great looking performance by a fantastic singer. Finland was so underrated on many occasions. This deserved at least top 5.

Fabulous 80s rock! A very strong song and performance! I absolutely love it!

The power of this song: my six year old heard this song once a week ago and now she is singing this song every morning😍

As Finn i didn't know that this is eurovision song. Song is so much more than what we usually send to competition that time and after.

The white lands are getting darker, singing trees go silent Children of the streets go into hiding when a storm is rising Let's fear our fears away, nothing could take me away When love sticks tightly to you and the heart gets warmer Though a hundred lightnings strike fire, and all of life explodes Nobody can take love away from me, there's always hope When a hundred suns shine on us And a ship is ready to depart I will take our love to a safe place And we'll find a new land

Ja punkin 'no future, no hope'. No siitä se tuli Mad Maxiin myös. Punk tosin alkoi 70-luvulla, mutta 80-luvulla se levis ympäriinsä. Ja miksköhän? Kun se mikä ei ollu niin ihanaa 80-luvulla ruutukuosihousujen lisäks oli se pommin pelko. Kojon 'Nuku pommiin' on mun mielestä yhä yks parhaita euroviisulauluja.

Amazing song. I never heard anything before, and I was browsing different song contests in Eurovision. The best rock-pop version from among the contemporaries. Love it from the Philippines.

Beautiful... I don't understand a thing, but I love the harmony and the energy of the song. I listen to it on my i-pod almost every day.

Was this lady a sign for me. Her name is spelled like like I spell mine, she is from the country my boyfriend was born and this song is from the year he was born!!!

What a lovely and catchy song!! How could she only come 15th?? Had it been nowadays with televote, I am pretty sure it would have been on the Top 5 :-)

I can't help loving this song! The more I listen to it, the more I like it!!!!!!

I saw her live last weekend. She is still awesome :D

Johnny Logan (IRL) voitti 1987 laululla "Hold me now". 7 vuotta ennen tätä voittoa hän jo voitti eli tuttu ääni . Ilmeisesti Virve oli aikaansa edellä räjähtävällä laulullaan. Suomenkieli on Euroopassa aina ollut aliarvostettu.

I am Afghan and I heard it right now I loves it a lot i wish a Person to teach me What She sings

One of the best ESC songs of all time! This should have won!

Fantastic mix of Schlager of Hard Rock! Vicky Rosti sings great and I like how they wear all black, should've been another Top 10 finish for Finland. How did that dud from UK score more than this in 1987?

Definitely the number 1 of 1987, 12 points from me. Happy that at least my country the Netherlands gave Finland 8 points and Norway gave 10, the highest two. But very unfairly only 15, should have at least been top 5! As so many Finnish entries totally underrated and others overrated, Finland 1983, 1985, 1987 should have all ended in top 3.

Still listening to it in 2017. Love this song!

For me, this is the best entry in 1987! So strong, so full of energy, but also: So underrated!

1 of many sensational Finnish Eurovision songs :-) Finland rules the Eurovision song contest :-)

This should have won! My favourite Eurovision song EVER!

I'm proud to be Finnish :)

Great song. 12 points from Spain

This song was let down badly by the lacklustre orchestra in Brussels. But Virve Rosti gives an impressive vocal performance

Why did this go so bad? It should have been top 3!!!!

Vicky-Vain Sata salamaa-biisi is very best👍😎👩🏼🎶🎤❤️!

Just love this! Some Finnish songs were a bit daft, but this is great and it should have been in the top 10 easily. So much better that all the hard/soft rock songs that the Finns send nowadays!

Still listening to it in 2018!

TOTALLY different from norwegian,danish and swedish..But even i can't understand a word,this is among the best songs in the finnish language which has been in Eurovision song contest(very nice melody)...This one and Hengailaan from 1984.

@timomastosalo

6 жыл бұрын

I like Hengaillaan too, more than this. It's one of the few which I don't think as a 'Eurovision song'. I think one of the problems of the Finns has always been, that they have tried to make the entry songs 'Eurovision style'. We feel the songs have to be of certain style, to make it in the ESC. 'We can't just send any Finnish song'. But sometimes a protest song breaks through, because many of us also see the ESC somewhat pretentious, theatrical - a bit fake. So there was Kojo with 'Nuku pommiin' (Sleep into bomb) - a political song, ironical of the nuclear arms race in the 80's. Then there was Lordi. Finns are sports people, so winning is more important for many, than how it comes :) I like some metal songs for their rhythm and melody. I just think it's unwise to dabble with the dark side of the force, my young padawan. The news tell every day what happen, when we let the dark side to affect our thinking, killing others and cheating etc. Hengaillaan is of Finnish evergreens, and I didn't even remeber it's a Eurovision song. So the song is authentically good :) I didn't even remember Sata Salamaa was a ESC song, I just feel it was schlager, which is not my thing. The best song for me from Vicky, which is nicely rock, and just good otherwise (well, not all rock is good), - is Kun Chicago kuoli - 'When Chicago died'.

Finnish is an Uralic language (just like Estonian or Hungarian), that's why you don't understand it (your languages are North Germanic Indo-European). But I agree Rosti really rocked in this song! She or "your" Kate Gulbrandsen (with "Mitt Liv") should have won instead of Johnny Logan.

One of my favorites ever. I love it! :)

Not my fave Eurovision song by a long shot but still a great song. Typifies a great era in Eurovision during the 80s when the contest was fun and the songs were good

Hyvä kappale.

@PavelShvalov She hadn't won the contest because the song was in Finnish. On the other hand, Johnny Logan performed a very lyric ballad ("Hold me now") in English, not to mention that he was the singer who performed last. For all the above reasons, Rosti didn't win back then, even though she deserved it

Mahtava kappale!

I feel tenderness beside you, a dream of an exhausted land The last dream gives us shelter from the wind of the night I see the truth in your hope, you create a flame by whispering Only love will take us there, it saves us Though a hundred lightnings strike fire, and all of life explodes Nobody can take love away from me, there's always hope When a hundred suns shine on us And a ship is ready to depart I will take our love to a safe place And we'll find a new land

HYVÄ VICKY OLET HYVÄ!!!

This is a proper song with a proper singer, proper music and a proper tune. Not like the rubbish that wins nowadays.

with Sonja Lumme the best entry for Finland ever

This version is clearly better than Antti Tuisku's cover. Antti Tuisku's version was good, but not better compared to this masterpiece.

There's a thousand worlds out there, and one of them is ours Though a hundred lightnings strike fire, and all of life explodes I will take our love to a safe place And we'll find a new land I will take our love to a safe place I will change this land to another white land
