Pasha Parfeny is already Eurovision royalty. He represented Moldova in 2012 with Lăutar which he co-wrote, and then the following year co-wrote a song for one of his backing singers from the year before, Aliona Moon, perform to perform on the Eurovision stage. that song was O Mie and finished 11th, equal to his finish in 2012. He has also tried unsuccessfully to go to Eurovision 3 further times as a singer/song writer and once more as just a song writer. One of those times, 2010, he lost to the band he had previously been in, SunStoke Project. He has finally made it back to Eurovision though because perseverance pays off.
Soarele și luna won Etapa națională 2023, the Moldovan national selection, with Sunstroke Project coming second and Aliona Moon third. Soarele și lunais the stronger song though it sounds like it could be background music in a fantasy TV series. The lyrics, written by Parfeny's wife Iuliana are quite thin, but also seem to sit in a fantasy theme. It needs a great performance to win Eurovision though

Moldova's most prolific repeat offender as a performer is Zdob și Zdub who have cracked the top 10 twice and made the final on their only other attempt. The first time they hit the top ten was with theirs and their nations first entry in 2005. Grandma bangs the drum.
