Poland POLAND 2022 - Ochman - River

[escYOUnited]

Gonna take my body down
Right down, down, down to the river
Gonna take my body down

Let the water carry me away
Just float away
Oh oh…

Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done

Carry me away
I float away
In the river

Gonna lay my head right down
Right now, now, now and forever
Gonna lay my head right down

Let the water carry me away
Just float away

Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done

Carry me away
I float away

In the river, oh oh
In the river, oh oh
In the river, oh yеah

Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm donе
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done

Gonna take my body down
Right down, down, down to the river​

Ok, I´d better not tell you my dirty thoughts I had while watching the video.

Did you see his balls and ? Some people in the comments claim his trousers are so tight they can actually see it

Nope, sadly not.

 

[markdowd]

Just found out Mikołaj Dobrowolsk is staging this in May,
he did ''the Ride'' last year...

That is NOT good news for Poland fans

1:52. Happens in his the Voice performances too... What a... gifted singer

 

[ESC94]

Just stopped at this poin in the video.

Well....

 

[Chorizo]

I don't see anything at 1:52. Are you talking about the video linked in the first post?
You can see that he has a nice bulge in that video, but I think people exaggerate about the details. Nevertheless, the bulge certainly elevates the staging and should be recreated in May, while the rest of the staging should be changed for Turin.

 

[Chorizo]

Oh, you were talking about this video! I agree, the song was very well staged at 1:52. I can see a clear improvement over the NF performance. Maybe he could step into the waterfall of the Turin stage and get his pants all wet there in May. points!

 

[Chorizo]

I think that would be a good new avatar for me.

 

[Chalphon]

I have a hard time with the Baby D-like beat put into a ballad-like song, gives me a headache. Sorry Poland. Also, I really loved Paranoia and wish You would have sent that one instead.

 

[Ezio]

Aw, Ochi is giving us a John's Dik moment

I am signing up on his onlyfans right now!!

My review:

So, one of my final reviews since I already said quite much on the entry. I stand by what I previously said, it is better on paper than it is executed. I applaud Poland for sending something decent and pretty fine, but on the other hand I would have much preferred something else from Ochman. It still sounds like two songs in one and while I don't mind mixing up, the production is key then and unfortunately this fails the song from feeling well put-together. He is undoubtedly one of the strongest vocalists in this year, and I believe and think Poland deserve to do decently, but I can only feel this entry half-way I'm afraid.

[TomCH]

one of the worst songs of this years contest with norway... unlistenable.

 

[ESC94]

Do you think has a good start position?? I don´t know what to think.

Not Montenegro coming after, followed shortly by Sweden. I just can't. You would thought they will try to spread the ballads in between the uptempos. But no. I am sure Poland will still qualify but unlikely to win the semi now.

Well, at least song isn´t a typical ESC ballad, so it might stick out a bit more than we think now.

But well, I think we have to wait and drink tea til befor the rehearsals.

 

[Realest]

would qualify regardless of the RO.

 

[SarahM]

would qualify regardless of the RO.

I really hope so! One of my favourites but I was surprised it didn't get a better placement!
