Elán - Amnestia na neveru (Amnesty for infidelity)

 

Hello,

This year Slovakia selected this epic song from one of the (if not the) greatest Slovak bands - ELÁN.

 

This Bratislava based group was founded in 1968, but the first album was released in 1981 and since then they achieved and experienced only glory and successes.

  Elán is still considered as the most successful Slovak pop music band of all times.

 

They had and have around hundred of huge hits in Slovakia and Czechia, so it was not easy at all to select just one for the contest.

 

If anyone is interested in and want to discover more about the band and their most famous songs here some of them

Damn, I forgot the key part. Obviously, the main aim of the Mixed Team Music'thlon will be to make TISC more urban and youthful. :evil::lol::facepalm:

Another idea for a mixed TISC competition could be borrowed from Youth Olympics. We could mash two random countries together and they would have to find an artist that shares nationality with both.

Because you are likely to find an artist with both Maltese and Uruguayan heritage? :p

Well, if it's the annual competition, you can always prepare a special Skype duet performance during the month of registrations.

Lithuania already picked a song? "In My Mind" is close to hitting 100 million views on Youtube after just over 2 months.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Songs have to be 5 years and older. Also, I don't rate music based on the view count.

After a tough selection process, the Irish national TISC committee have settled on a representative for TISC Open 2018. This year's chosen entry is Gary Moore with his single "Over the Hills and Far Away". The song featured on Gary's sixth studio album entitled "Wild Frontier" which was released in 1987 - I hope you will enjoy:

Gary Moore - Over The Hills And Far Away

 

 

Lyrics:

 

They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistol had been found

They marched him to the station house
He waited till the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged
You stand accused of robbery
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom

Over the hills and far away
For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
A prisoner's life for him there'll be

He knew that it would cost him dear
But yet he dare not say
Just where he'd been that fateful night
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend
He'd spent his final night of freedom

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
Back in her arms again he'll be
Over the hills and far away

Each night within his prison cell
He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom

Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in his arms again she'll be

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
As sure as the river reach the sea
Back in his arms is where she'll be

Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in her arms is where he'll be

Over the hills
Over the hills and far away

Over the hills
Over the hills and far away

:DENDENMARK :DEN 

 

After much deliberation the Danish jury has finally been able to decide the song. As rumours have told, the selected artist wasn't on the original shortlist, but shortly before deadline she was remembered. It may be the most main-stream artist to compete for Denmark, but we are very happy with the decision.

 

Ladies and gentlemen!

The Danish song for the 2018 Totallympics Open International Song Contest is...

 

Tina Dickow - Sacre Coeur

 

 

Lyrics:

 

Poison racing through my veins
A sordid pull to the insane
A constant gravity to change
And I don’t know where to go

Paris breaths beneath my feet
Thirsty skin against concrete
My sacred heart misleading me
And I don’t know where to go
No, I don’t know where to go

I could go home to my love
And live the life I’ve always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
And the strange thing is
I don’t know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set on Sacre Coeur

Paris falls under my eyes
History against one life
My sacred heart’s on no-one’s side
And I don’t know where to go
No, I don’t know where to go

I could go home to my love
And live the life I’ve always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
And the strange thing is
I don’t know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set

I could go home to my love
And live the life I’ve always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
I could go home to my love
It’s all there if I want it
But the sad thing is
I don’t know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set on Sacre Coeur

S.A.R.S - Lutka

 

 

Doll (Baby)

 

Who took you from me
Who sent you to me
who provokes our tears
every time you come
 
My brain doesn't let me
to give myself to you
your appearance feeds me
but I still restrain
 
And I just look at you
feeling is outstanding
and to that drug I will be devoted
even if I remain chaste
 
Baby, I'm resolved
to dance with you forever
 
The look in your eyes makes me embarrassed
but it feels so good
Your scent lures me
your touch is taking me
 
You are the goal of my wandering
and the subject of motivation
the reason for my trembling
color of my lust
 
And while I slowly falling asleep
in the dark I hear your voice
on the pillow I squeeze your palm
and orchestra plays to us...
