Eurovision Review: Bulgaria

[passionpop]

On a nice lazy sunday I am sitting listening to a nice cruisy sunday afternnon dive-bar type song. It is a nice day to listen to Bulgaria's Kaffe, "Lorraine"

(unrelated song of the day) Riot at the sheepdog trials by N O'Flaherty and P O'Connel.

Nobody talks about Bulgaria on the news any more,
We started a riot at the sheepdog trials - we can take no more,
We started a riot at the sheepdog trials - we can take no more,
Nobody talks about Bulgaria on the news any more.

whatever... anyway back to Eurovsion. I like this song in a sleepy sunday kinda way. It is something to relax and have a beer too, which I will be doing in the Eurovision song contest drinking game anyway because it is a "Foreign acts sing in English". this song can also earn drinks for "The song goes up half an octave in the last refrain" and "Singers put excessive emotion into their singing"

This won have to potential to win if for no other reason it will get consisant votes rather than the more erratic voting the more popular countries with similar sounding songs will experience. this is just different enough and maybe just bad/good enough to win.

"Lorraine"

Music: Vesselin Vesselinov-Eko
Lyrics: Vesselin Vesselinov-Eko; Orlin Pavlov
Arrangement: Kaffe

Standing here alone again
Waiting for the moment that we’ve shared, my love.
No matter how many lies you say,
No matter how many miles you walk away from me, Lorraine.

Here I am, all alone, waiting for the moment again
But I know that you’re gone.

You’ve got to know that harder the rain, sweeter the pain
I can still remember, Lorraine, in the rain.
Calling you, again and again, I’ll wait for your name,
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain.

Whispering your name again, saying prayers
Among the stars, for you, my sweet Lorraine
You’ve always given me some great time,
Try to imagine how we fly so far away from here, my love.

Here I am, all alone, waiting for the moment we’ve shared
But I know that you’re gone.

You’ve got to know that harder the rain, sweeter the pain
I can still remember, Lorraine, in the rain.
Calling you, again and again, I’ll wait for your name,
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain.
