Apparently this song made a big enough impression on 14-year-old me that it just randomly popped into my head while hanging up the curtains. I'm 33 now.
This was way ahead of its time.. It's obvious because it was all rock n roll winners in the upcoming years' contests. Of course, there was Sertab Erener in this particular year, so I guess these guys were at the wrong gig at the wrong time:)
I was there in Riga that night, and everyone was astonished it didn't do far better. It's still a great song. Estonia always send really superb entries.
It was the wrong year. It would have done much better between 2009 and 2019. The years from 1999-2008 were the dark ages of Eurovision, when it almost became the Eurovision Trash Contest by 2008. When the juries came back in 2009 the quality got much better again with each year and the "funny" aka trash entries almost completely disappeared. Juries would have loved this song so much.
Yesterday night, my boyfriend and I watched the full Eurovision 2003 (for him was the first time). This song was his favourite and he was shocked when he realised they finished 21st. They deserved muuuch more, it was ahead of its time. Regards from Spain ❤
Still in my memory this is one of the three or four songs on top of Eurovision since started. I use to hear this song every week and I remember the perfect onstage of the group and the awesome performance.
I think you mean My Star BrainStorm represented Latvia in Eurovision 2000 as you probably know, and their song was My Star, but yes, they do have another song called Maybe, and I suppose that's what you're reffering too But yes, My Star is amazing
Still my favorite song to this day. I was in Tallinn last year and this song was always on my headphones. The Eurovision crowd wasn't ready for this indie type of music.
you thought you had it coming but now you really really just dont know it seems you make a deal far too big outta this you thought that youd done it jeah you thought that you had heard it all but the state of things is putting you down now just because you know they say it's just the eighties coming back jeah it feels just like the eighties coming back aw i know it's just the eighties coming eighties coming eighties coming eighties coming eighties coming back you said lets do it let's take it out and dance all night but those deep synthesizersounds freak you out now you wake up in the middle of the night in terror all you do is cry cold sweat a cup of tea no nothing seems to help you thru the night my god you know they say it's just the eighties coming back jeah it feels just like the eighties coming back aw i know it's just the eighties coming eighties coming eighties coming eighties coming eighties coming back yeah you thought you had it coming but now it looks like you didn't know this but everybody's wearing their hair the way you did 15 years ago you know they say it's just the eighties coming back
If anyone else has the same question as the first commenter (whom I can´t directly address) then googling would help. (voice) Vaiko Eplik & Eliit (guitar) Jaan Pehk, Orelipoiss, Köök... + Kõrsikud (maybe) (and is a poet it seems) (bass) Ivo Etti, Ewert and the Two Dragons (Basically they have disbanded (into Koer) but now, some seem to have sth to do with &-Eliit-part. In addition, they used to go by Claire´s Birthday before Ruffus.) There are probably things that could be added. :))
