:DEN Denmark :DEN 

 

After a long and thorough selection process, the Danish national jury can finally present its entry for TOISC 2020.

The Danish national jury has chosen to send the psychedelic rock group, Savage Rose.  

They have produced music for more than 50 years and influenced Danish music with their sound and lyrics.

They have a long and waste discography to choose from, so it was difficult to choose which song to sent.

In the end, it was decided to send the song, "Wild Child", from 1973.

 

Savage Rose - "Wild Child"

 

Lyrics:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

For a moment there I got completely baited and thought that Wild Child is actually a Danish band, but it wasn't meant to be :cry:

 

I saw the title in the video frame first and thought what an interesting song name choice to go with "Savage Rose", I don't think I've heard that one from them :d

:SLO SLOVENIA :SLO

All Capone Štrajh Trio - I Heart Kitsch

 

Again something completely different from our country. This is a group of 4 well educated musicians, who took classic music onto different level, even before 2 Cellos. Song is from 2002 and is almost completely instrumental with some samples involved. Their video is also maybe appropriate in these times. :d

 

Enjoy !

Bad news and good news

The bad news is that  Britain held a referendum and voted to withdraw from the contest. I suspect America/Russia/China and San Marino were using large amounts of money to influence the results.

The good news is that I have appointed myself emperor and have overruled the results of the poll.

So the UK selection is;

From 1992

 

Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness

 

"A power ballad the track is slower paced than most others on the album. Its lyrics are inspired by S.E. Hinton's book Rumble Fish, about biker gang culture. The lyrics have been interpreted by the band as an attack on the hollowness of the consumer lifestyle offered by capitalism, describing how society expects young people to conform. In 2006, Q magazine readers voted the song as one of the best 100 songs ever"

 

Enjoy...

 

Lyrics

 

Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto
Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit
Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

:CZE CZECH REPUBLIC :CZE

 

My absolutely the most favourite singer at czech music scene:

 

ANETA LANGEROVÁ - SVATÁ KORDULA

 

 

Aneta Langerová was born in Benešov, 26th of November 1986. She won the first contest Czech SuperStar (in 2004). Two times in a row she won a singer prize Český slavík (2005, 2006) like a best singer of the year. Her voice is very strong and she has large singing range. 

 

Lyrics (english translate :GBR ):

 

I'm drowning in your seas again
there is no breath below the surface
that's how it goes
that's how it goes

 

The smoke of war fleets in his eyes
arouses my calm blood
it is already merging
it is already merging

 

You are full of beauties
you are my midnight tide
we will sail
on the waves
stay here with me

 

There in deep waters driven by a stream
our catamaran sails at night
we will be asleep for a long time

 

There in deep waters driven by a stream
our catamaran sails at night
Cordula will stand on it

 

I'm fighting on the high seas
passion as a cowardly cat
the shores are guarded
the shores are guarded

 

You strike a match and I burn
luna is already taking off her black dress
and waves moan
and waves moan

 

You are full of beauties
you are my midnight tide
we will sail
on the waves
stay here with me

 

There in deep waters driven by a stream
our catamaran sails at night
we will be asleep for a long time

 

There in deep waters driven by a stream
our catamaran sails at night
Cordula will stand on it

 

In deep waters driven by a current
our catamaran sails at night
today it is better to die than to be afraid.

 

Enjoy her amazing voice :)

@hckosice
Yes, I see :) 

Voda živá and Křídla motýlí are fantastic songs at her debut album, it's true! :) And I teach both songs in Music lessons at our high school :) It's also album the most mainstream in her career, next albums are crystalizing her unique style like "music for hipsters", maybe? :d
