@Dnl

Do I need to change the application if the selected song was released only a few months ago?

[dcro 10,210]

 Following the most exhaustive selection process in the history, during which no stone was left unturned, the Croatian jury is finally ready to put forward their bid. We are proud to present Tango by Vatra. I hope you will enjoy it!

 

Vatra is a rock band from Virovitica (Podravina). Their leading vocal, Ivan Dečak, is a household name in Croatia. He has been a mentor during several seasons of the Croatian The Voice.

Vatra - Tango

 

 

Tango   Plesao bih s tobom Kroz najprometnije ceste Jedan tango kroz crveno Tamo gdje nitko ne bi plesao Na vrhu Hendrixovog mosta I to mi ne bi bilo dosta   Mi bi se držali za vodove Na krovu 14-ice Sijevale bi iskre   Ref. Samo mi stani na prste Odgrizi mi usne Gorko, slatko -- kao tango Crno i crveno Stani mi na prste Odgrizi mi usne   Zavrtio bih s tobom Piruete niz petlje Da nas nikad ne odmrse Plesom razbijali bi izloge Gradu ponestalo bi stakla   Mi bi se držali za vodove Na krovu 14-ice Sijevale bi iskre   Ref.   Licem uz lice, za naklon je prerano Sve ovo još jednom ponovit bi trebalo Gledaj me u oči, gledaj me...   Ref.

Tango   I'd dance with you Along the busiest of roads One tango through the red lights Where no one would dance On the top of the Hendrix's bridge* And even that wouldn't be enough   We'd cling onto the handles On the roof of the 14** Sparks would soar   Ref. Just step on my toes Bite my lips off Bitter-sweet -- like tango Black and red Step on my toes Bite my lips off   I'd spin with you Pirouettes down the loops Never to be unraveled again We'd break windows as we go The city would run out of glass   We'd cling onto the handles On the roof of the 14 Sparks would soar   Ref.   Face to face, it's too early to bow out All of it should be repeated once more Look me in the eyes, look at me...   Ref.

Hi @Illya, yes the Open Contest rules state that songs from the last 5 years are not permitted, so specifically the cut-off date for this contest is Dec 31 2016. The song can come from any time before that

[OlympicIRL 5,534]

still to submit their entry and need to submit an alternative entry.

 

Not long to go, fingers crossed we can have everyone before the deadline

[OlympicIRL 5,534]

Sad to say it looks like we will have no African entry in an edition of TISC for the first time ever

Really shocked that both of the Tunisians decided to implode when nobody expected it.

HARDKISS - "Stones" 

Lyrics : 

Long ago wisemen were.
Walking through a desert over there.
They were running away from this world.

Long ago wisemen truly found.
That indeed our planet is round.
And there's no way to run away.

And they turned into stones.
Silent observers of the world.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.

Ever since time has passed.
Through the years, through the north and west.
They were looking at us out of the sand.

People were falling in love again.
People were fighting till the end.
And the wisemen were keeping the secret from us.

And they turned into stones.
Silent observers of the world.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.
