After my first 2 listenings I am down to 19 songs and my top3 is already defined. As usual, 9th-12th places are going to be very difficult to pick and I will probably have two more listenings before making my final decision on Wednesday.
 
I don't know if it's just me, but I think this year we have a lot of ballads (some of them quite good but others are cliché or imitations of famous singers), more than in previous Annual editions.

The Entries Window is officially closed!
 
You can start listening to the songs whenever you want. As a reminder, the Voting Window will open next Thursday and will last 2 weeks. I hope the 38 registered nations will send their votes in time and participate in the Grand Final of March 18th.
 

I added a YouTube playlist to the first post in case you want to start listening. I will update it once we get the entries of  and  (@Fly_like_a_don and @Ionoutz24).

Dan Balan - Printre culori
 
Sa fiu
Sa stiu
Sa pot iubi ca atunci
Cind eram "vii"
Doar doi copii
In vara
Cu un singur vis
Miros de tei
Si ochii ei
In ploaie
Zburau pin-la cer
Iar tot ce-a fost
Si tot ce-a fost
Traieste ca punct de reper
 
Tuuu Tuuu
Tuuu Tuuu
Iar noi ne iubeam
Printre culori
Printre culori
In noapte
 
Sa ard
Sa-mpart
Sa pot iubi ca atunci
In doi zburam
In doi cadeam
In vara
Sub frunze de nuci
Emotii vii
Din melodii
Uitate,
Dar cit de adinc
Trezesc fiori
Trezesc fiori
Si-n noapte din nou te ating
 
Un cer senin
Si-n palme liberi ne simteam
Eram in film
Si-n nori ne iubeam
Din nou zburam in doi
Cresc aripile-n noi
O lume de culori ...in noapte

Lyrics
 
Kemm fittixtek 'l hemm u 'l hawn
F'post mudlam stennejt id-dawl
Ġrejt kemm flaħt wara l-ħmerijiet
Sa ma fl-aħħar lilek sibt

Fil-mument li kont fit-tarf
Lil dil-qalb inti sabbart
Iżda llum wasal il-ħin, li nagħtu kelma lil xulxin

Dal-mument kemm stennejnieh
It-tnejn flimkien ħdimna għalih
Għalkemm forsi diġà taf
Imħabbti għalik hija bla tarf

Tini idejk jien hawn għalik
Jien lest li nipproteġik
Imħabbtek għamlitni kuntent
Tagħna t-tnejn dan il-mument

Nibku, nidħku u niċċaċċraw
Insiefru flimkien 'l hemm u 'l hawn
Lest li nagħtik kull ma trid
Għadek qas taf x'għandi bik

F'ħakka t'għajn jgħaddu s-snin
Ma' saqajna żewġ ċkejknin
Ma nixbax nimlikom bews
Għalija tkunu l-univers

Dal-mument kemm stennejnieh
It-tnejn flimkien ħdimna għalih
U għalkemm forsi diġà taf
Imħabbti għalik hija bla tarf

Tini idejk jien hawn għalik
Jien lest li nipproteġik
Imħabbtek għamlitni kuntent
Tagħna t-tnejn dan il-mument

Dal-mument kemm stennejnieh
It-tnejn flimkien ħdimna għalih
U għalkemm forsi diġà taf
Imħabbti għalik hija bla tarf

Tini idejk jien hawn għalik
Jien lest li nipproteġik
Imħabbtek għamlitni kuntent
Tagħna t-tnejn dan il-mument

Ireland
 
 
After much deliberation, the Irish National Selection Committee has chosen singer/songwriter Cian Ducrot to represent Ireland at the TISC Annual 2023 in Spain with his single "All For You".
I hope you enjoy!
 
 

 
 
 
Cian Ducrot - All For You
 

 
 
 
Lyrics:
 
I roll over but it's empty
You used to lay here beside me
I swallow my pride 'cause it's all on me
Is it too late? Forgive me
Did you mean what you said? Are you angry?
Lost more than a friend, now I'm on my knees I don't know why I'm praying tonight
But if you can hear me
Tell me if you hear me   And I should have called
And I should have tried
And I should have walked you home every night
And I should have kissed you ten thousand times
Just to tell you I love you
I should have done it all
All for you, baby
But now I'm just a little too late
To be what you needed
But I hope that he is   You took me around but we got nowhere
'Cause you were naïve while I was too scared
So when we lit a fire, you ran towards the flares
And I stood around and I watched you burn
Then I rose up to claim you and left you in the dirt
Kept my hands to myself like I kept my word
Fool you once, never twice, I guess you've learned And I don't know why I'm praying tonight
But if you can hear me
Tell me if you hear me   And I should have called
And I should have tried
And I should have walked you home every night
And I should have kissed you ten thousand times
Just to tell you I love you
I should have done it all
All for you, baby
But now I'm just a little too late
To be what you needed
But I hope that he is   I shouldn't have promised that I'd never fall
But you saw the writing all over the walls
I try not to cry in the places we'd go to
But I still fucking care for you   I hope that he calls
I hope that he tries
I hope that he walks you home every night
I hope that he kisses you ten thousand times
Just to tell you he loves you
