I don’t know if it is because my musical taste already became too Dutchy or it’s just a bad year but I can’t find any Portuguese song I actually like from last year.
 
There are some nice ones but it’s mostly due to lyrics so I don’t think they’re worth sharing.
 
So I’ve decided to do something that might be unique (maybe?) which is send a music where the author is not alive anymore.
 
This is a song from Sara Carreira, who actually participated in a TISC some years ago, but that died in 2020 in a car crash with only 21 years old.
 
This song was composed originally by her but was never released while she was alive, until this last year, where some parts that were not finished yet were added by three other singers: her two oldest brothers and her dad.
 
I choose this song as it is sad and beautiful at the same time.

Registration Window will be open for 2 more weeks, so you still have plenty of time to pick your song.

Wow, if I didn't decide to log in just now, I might have completely missed this. 
 
I'm in my biggest "overworked" era right now, but I'll try to somehow make this work. 
 
Lithuania is in. 

i'm in for Italy

This year decision was easy to make! Marlon Williams gets the opportunity to represent New Zealand, with his new solo album My Boy. More about it you can find here https://www.marlonwilliams.co.nz/bio
 
Born and raised in Christchurch port suburb of Lyttelton, music started early for young Marlon Williams, though the trail to his chosen alternative-country discipline was hardly flagged. His father sang in a punk band, but with a blend of Ngāi Tahu and Ngāi Tai blood he inevitably did a bit of singing at the local marae, harmonising around the house along with his mum. Church and school choirs later helped polish his natural vocal skills. Gram Parsons was his first country record and, as he tells Silke Hartung, Marlon knew then that this was the music he himself wanted to make.

I would like to be in!!!

is in despite the jury not knowing any new local songs in 2022 lol

I'm in

“Sevilla tiene un color especial!” 
 
por supuesto Portugal is in 🇵🇹
 
Spain is probably the nation I’ve visited the most during my life (have family there and spent all my summers there during my childhood and teenage years) so I can’t wait to “visit” it yet another time 
 
as for the contest it’s always a bit difficult for me the anual edition (due to not be living in Portugal for 6 years now) but I’ll find something out I’m sure 

Btw for those who don’t know, this is from a really nice (to me at least haha) Spanish song from los del rio, the macarena guys
