Ana Mena, Belinda - Las 12

 

Lyrics (Spanish):

Quote

Tú y yo frente al mar
¿Te acuerdas de mí?, ¿dónde estás?
Yo quisiera verte, convencerte
De que vuelvas otra vez a quererme
Fue tan mágico, melancólico
Tan nostálgico, tan ilógico
Volver a perderte, quisiera volverme
Y otra noche yo en tus brazos perderme
Bailando como tú y yo
Si nadie puede hacerlo como tú y yo
Y nadie como tú me conoce, yo no sé
A quién llamo cuando lleguen las 12
Baby, como tú y yo
Si nadie puede hacerlo como tú y yo
Que nadie como tú me conoce, yo no sé
A quién llamo cuando lleguen las 12
Ay
¿A quién llamo cuando lleguen las 12? (Beli, Ana Mena)
Solo duermo pa verte, pa soñarte un poquito
Cómo extraño tu boca y eso' ojo' bonito'
Fuimo' lo más lindo que hay
No me digas goodbye, no me digas goodbye
Si esto era guay (guay)
Fue una guerra de besos que a ti te ponía loquito
La camisa te dejaste, y yo esa no me la quito
Vuelve a darme un besito, babe, a quererme bonito
Yo quiero devolverme a ese veranito
Bailando como tú y yo
Si nadie puede hacerlo como tú y yo
Que nadie como tú me conoce, yo no sé
A quién llamo cuando lleguen las 12
Baby, como tú y yo
Si nadie puede hacerlo como tú y yo
Y nadie como tú me conoce, yo no sé
A quién llamo cuando lleguen las 12
Ay
¿A quién llamo cuando lleguen las 12?
Ay
¿A quién llamo cuando lleguen las 12?

 U.S Song Selection

 

It was an exciting year for the American jury. We gained a jury member and held our first ever national selection contest. There were three songs that emerged from the semifinals as contenders, but only that rose above the rest. We hope you enjoy the song as much as our jury members did. Without further ado, we present the U.S entry for the 2023 TISC Annual Song Contest…

 

Judah & the Lion - scream!

 

 

 

Lyrics

 

Always baffles and disappoints me that America never pick a Paramore song in any of these contests.

sanah - najlepszy dzień w moim życiu

 

 

Lyrics in English

 

Quote

I am twenty-five now

Half of that I've been waiting for

The best day of my life

 

It was supposed to have an endless flavor

And it flew past like a bird

And so he flew away, hidden

 

I miss our laughing on these days

Dancing to Taylor Swift

Let's begin again

Master's degree and then marriage

Bon Iver sang us to sleep

Come with me, back to the beginning

 

I go back to those years

Where the fear fled

And so free, we shine like diamonds

 

I go back to those years

So close to the stars

And so free, we shine like diamonds

 

I had a hundred friends

And hoping they'll come back

I keep looking through the curtain

 

Today I disappear when the crowd is small

Taking a French leave is cool

And I have a flair for it

 

I go back to those years

Where the fear fled

And so free, we shine like diamonds

 

I go back to those years

So close to the stars

And so free, we shine like diamonds

 

Like diamonds

 

Like diamonds

 

Look me straight in the eye and say

That a miracle will happen

And that you will fix me

 

Hold me tight and say

That a miracle will happen

And that you will fix me

 

Look me straight in the eye and say

That a miracle will happen

And that you will fix me

 

Hold me tight and say

That a miracle will happen

And that you will fix me

 

I am twenty-five now

I look at the world crookedly

And I still dream about the stadium

 

Maybe the best day

Will find me soon

See ya on the other side

If they pick Paramore, I'd rather have them choose Paramore for an open contest.

 

The 2023 album just doesn't compare to some of the legendary songs from previous albums.

I agree, although You First is an absolute banger and is in my top 5 of all time. The News, Figure 8 and to an extent Big Man, Little Dignity are also good. But compared to their other albums like Riot and Brand New Eyes, where almost every song was top quality, this one falls quite short. Still better than After Laughter though, which is an improvement.

If I had to go for a top 5, then "Still Into You", "The Only Exception", "Ain't It Fun", "Fast In My Car", "That's What You Get" and many other tracks in Riot! are the first ones that come to mind. I actually liked the sound direction in After Laughter, can't really form a strong opinion on This Is Why, since I've only listened to the album once up to now and remember the songs not really grabbing me.

 

It's nice, cause it's Paramore, but it's not Paramore at their best.

My top 10 (in no particular order):

 

You First

Last Hope

Here We Go Again (prefer live but original still in top 10) 

Woah

Brick By Boring Brick

Part II

Native Tounge

Misery Business (my favourite)

For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic

Let The Flames Begin (live version only)

 

If live versions weren't counted, then it'd be a toss up between Fences, Ain't It Fun, Where The Lines Overlap, Future, Ignorance, The News, Decode and Looking Up. There so many good Paramore songs, particularly the older ones, that it's too hard to chose a top 20, nevermind top 10 or 5. The list I just comprised there was very much on the fly, I probably missed out a ton more songs that I like even more than the ones listed.   

 

I don't mind the odd couple slow or toned down songs, but I'd just like to see a lot more heavy/heavier rock from them. We've seen glimpses of them starting to go back that way in this album, but they haven't fully committed. Maybe once they get away from Atlantic Records (I believe this is the last album they're contractually obligated to do with them after Atlantic purchased Fuled By Ramen) they can start going back to their old ways.
