90s vs. 00s: Secret Garden - Windancer

For the 90s vs. 00s Lotunia is going to be representing the 90s with the Norwegian/Irish duo Secret Garden. The song that I have chosen is called "Windancer" and it is a song with a Celtic sound~
Secret Garden are probably best known in Norway for representing Norway in Eurovision in 1995, and winning with the eternally beautiful "

". The song "Windancer" is to me very soothing and I hope that at least some people will appreciate the (re)discovery.

BJSC 104: TAEMIN - MOVE

So, this is our first male act since Crywolf~
It is also our first Korean act, and I do have plans to send a few more Korean acts before this year ends... Anyway, TAEMIN has been a potential entrant since BJSC 100. The only reason why I did not send him that time was that I realized that since it was a special occasion it would be more fitting to send someone from my own country. Which lead me to entering Eva Weel Skram. Result wise it did not end well, so this time around my goal is to avenge poor Eva by getting a better position~

So, this was a pleasant surprise. I never thought Secret Garden would be the act that would get me a respectable placing in a Spin-Off, if anything I thought it would go the same way as in the Japan vs. South Korea Spin-Off. Anyway, thanks to everyone that that voted for "Windancer" ^_^ , especially Terra Avium for giving us our second 18-pointer ever in a Spin-Off!

BJSC 105: Sofia Jannok - Snölejoninna

 

för att vi är för små för att finnas

för att det som rör få inte kan hinnas

Kan du förstå, en vill inte försvinna

när en levt så länge vidder kan minnas

 

Jag vill vara fri, mer än inuti

Är det nåt jag gör är det att höra hit

Urfolkskvinna, snölejoninna, jag är regnbågen på din näthinna

 

 

I barely managed to enter on time, only to forget I actually entered and ended up voting late again :blush: . Anyway, it has been a year since I debuted with

song, so I felt that it was time to send something that had a small connection to that song. "Snölejoninna" by Sofia Jannok is the second song that I have sent that is in Swedish this year, and the first song since

that is partly in Sámi. Not really expecting to qualify, but hopefully some people found this song enjoyable ^_^

Glad that you did decide to enter again after all because this is another fab entry, such an oddball song but in a good way <3 fingers crossed for it to make it through.

This should NOT have DNQ’d </3 :( usually not my thing at all but this is great :wub:

aww, glad you both liked the song!

 

~

 

For the second time in a row Lotunia did not qualify for the final. Which is fine, since this means that I can send something that I have been dying to send forever. Prepere yourselves for a song partially in Quechua and partially in Spanish ^_^

(Yeah, I'm going to keep the q-q-q-dnq-dnq-dnq-q-q-q-dnq-dnq-dnq pattern With my next song :whistle: )

Pride | Result

This is how it ends, never meant to hurt you

I'm a pretty mess and I don't deserve you

I ran out of time and second chances

Sorry couldn't build your white picket fences

 

'Cause every time I see you, it's like all I am is see-through

We were everything I know it, don't wanna miss it, record it

I adore you , I adore you

 

The falling out was easy, but I hate that you don't need me

And it gets so hard to speak, every time you get to me

'Cause I adore you, I adore you

BJSC 106: Magaly Solier - ¿Porque Me Miras Así?

Cuando te canto yo así,
mírame, mírate cómo estás
Perdido en el horizonte,
perdido con tu mirar

This month Lotunia is being represented by an artist from my birth country Perú ^_^. The song "¿Porque Me Miras Así?" is sung partially in Spanish and Quechua by Magaly Solier. The song is the first song that I have sent that is in Spanish, something that surprised me a bit~

I'm intrigued as to how you went from living in Peru to Norway! Doesn't seem like a very obvious move :lol:

 

This is an interesting song, actually sounds almost like something that could be in a Bollywood film despite obviously being from a completely different continent. I expect you'll be right about it being another DNQ but stranger things have happened eh ~

^ yay, i'm glad you like the song! I was not entirely sure if this was going to appeal to anyone at all ~ As for Perú and Norway, that is somewhat a long story and not really all that interesting :P To make it short: I'm adopted. As for qualifying… not really expecting to qualify, but it would be a nice surprise I guess? I just don't want to end 20th one more time :lol:

BJSC 107: Dan Balan ft. Matteo - Allegro Ventigo

Ali sento, ma n'usted
Cal in amar, ir canto meu
Sera fina bella che canto meu
Ci vorra alto tu ribel
Dei karamel in nos museo

The song is sung in a mix of some romance languages with a few words which actually make no sense at all~
Anyway, Dan Balan is a Moldovan singer and is most known as one of the singers behind O-Zone's song

Re-Invention II: BTS - Fake Love (Rocking Vibe Mix)

 

For you, I could pretend like I was happy when I was sad

For you, I could pretend like I was strong when I was hurt

I wish love was perfect as love itself

I wish all my weaknesses could be hidden

I grew a flower that can’t be bloomed in a dream that can’t come true

 

I'm still kinda shocked by the result tbh :mellow:

BJSC 108: Widy - Yahabibi

 

انت على بالي ياحبيبي

لا لا تنساني لا لا لا

 

Contigo me quiero perder,

Dime cómo hago para hacerte entender

No sé lo que tengo

Si me llamas vengo

 

 

Arabic + English + Spanish = Yahabibi

 

Not much is known about Widy. The only thing I have managed to find out is that her real name is Wedad Cura, and that she is half Colombian and half Lebanese~

Thanks to all who voted!

Was not expecting to get such a high placing when I entered "Dharma". Yay for finally getting a top 5 placing ^_^

BJSC 109: Laibach - Vor Sonnen-Aufgang

 

Du willst mich los sein

Schon kommt die morgendämmerung

Du bist meine freiheit

Oh himmel über mir

 

 

 

For this contest I have decided to enter the Slovenian group Laibach with the song Vor Sonnen-Aufgang. Which translates to "Before Sunrise", one of their less controversial songs... I think. Laibach has been around for awhile and most of their work is very ambigious. There has been a lot of controversy surrendering their group, lyrics and activities. They have even visited North Korea, so yeah ~ A very interesting group :lol:

 

 

*~~~~~~~*

 

 

Your Best Of: Ágy - Arvedávgi

 

Her color is dark grey

"This is who I am", she says

"I've had it all,

Built up a wall - for protection.

Colors are hard to find

I've almost given up

This is my one last call to the sky"

 

 

 

Ágy is the artist I have chosen for the Your Best Of Spin-Off!

She brought Lotunia to our first final on our first try. In the end she archieved 17th place, which was our best position for a long time.

I genuinely think this is the best I have sent to the maincontest ^_^ and I will most likely never be able to top this tbh. Very excited to see how this will fare against the other entrants!

Edited November 15, 20186 yr by NocheLuna

I was wondering if you were actually aware of Laibach's history when you confirmed this!! Safe to say though this is not what I was expecting from them, absolutely beautiful song :heart:

^

Yeah, I usually check for info on the artists I send, needless to say this group has far more controversies surrendering them than most of my former entrants. The first song I heard by them was "Eurovision", which is quite different from "Vor Sonnen-Aufgang".

 

I'm glad you like this song tho! Just a pity that we are in different semi finals :lol:
