1989:Riva from Croatia Sang in Lausanne, Switzerland and Was the winner 2024:Baby Lasagna was 2nd when Swizterland was the Winner, Both had a Neon lights What a Coincidence!
The song was written by the famous Dino Merlin. It describes the Bosnian War occurring at that time in Bosnia and Herzegovina (from April 1992 until December 1995).
The members of the group were Vivien Galletta, Angela Jeličić, Melita Sedić, Naim Ajra, Petar Cucak Migliaccio and Olja Desic. Prior to Eurovision, they participated in the Croatian Eurovision Song Contest in Opatija, where they won after a decision by the Varaždin jury.
The song "Don't Ever Cry" was about The Croatian War of Independence, with the time being from 31st of March, 1991 to the 8th of August, 1995. During the war, this song was published and sent to the Eurovision Song Contest.
"Don't ever cry My croatian sky" Indeed, it was impossible not to shed a tear after the atrocities that happened during all the previous years in former Yugoslavia 😢
Nice bit of TV archaeology! I think all three of the qualifying republics from the former Yugoslavia had really good ESC starts that year, and were all potential top half finishers - even though none of them did! Personally I have them all in the top 8.
'that bend' could it have been 'and then' as well? A lovely song. They brought it down nicely at 1m 10 sec. At 1m 13 sec he sings 'the smallest dream' and not 'the sweetest thrill' as the lyrics suggest in the comments.
Hoy hubiera sido un exito a nivel mundial . Es cierto que hoy estaria acompañada de palmas por tango y cajon . Pero aun en el 83 tenia mucha fuerza y fue una cancion muy valiente.
This, Fly on the wings of love and Only teardrops were the only 3 winners that deserved it in the 3rd millenia. Out of the 3 everybody was the best followed by only teardrops and finally Fly on the wings of love
