Slovenia SLOVENIA 2021 - Ana Soklič - Amen

[escYOUnited]

Hey child
Why ya hiding from the light?
Why ya cowering in fright?

Don’t tell yourself
The heavens cast you out
And you’ve fallen from grace

You’ll get beaten and bruised
You’ll be scarred unto your core
But it’s gonna make you who you are

When ya learn to heal
When ya learn to rise again
You can tell the sun, “Amen”

Hallelujah
We’re gloriousl
Hallelujah,
The day is dawning!
The storm’s relentless
But everybody knows
Everybody knows
We’re born to the fight

Hey child
The fear’ll never go away
Might as well accept it now

Learn to persevere.
Learn to count your blessings down
Greet the future with Amen

Hallelujah
We’re gloriousl
Hallelujah
The day is dawning!
The storm’s relentless
But everybody knows
Everybody knows
We’re born to the fight

Not until the rain has stopped,
Not until the thunder’s hushed
Are we at rest, are we at peace…
Just imagine it
Not until the storm has passed,
Not until it’s quiet
Can the heart that’s broken cry.

Hallelujah
We’re gloriousl
Hallelujah
The day is dawning!
The storm’s relentless
But everybody knows
Everybody knows
We’re born to the fight

Hey child
Why ya hiding from the light?​

One more thing. Though I'm not the most active contributor, I've certainly hung around here long enough to see the all-round appreciation for RainyWoods and I'm so glad he loves this entry. Just make sure you don't describe yourself as "not religious" but "spiritual" if you happen to bump into any vicars that look like David Mitchell...

 

[wtf]

The voice The juries will eat it up, might even win their vote

I don't know if this was clarified yet but where will the Eurovision version exactly start and end, will we somehow get the outro from the live performance at EMA at Eurovision? I love how everyone at the reaction videos is totally confused with the ending...

The outro is in the "music video" on the Eurovision channel, it wasnt in her live performance on EMA so I assume it'll finish at the red part (which is where the live performance ended)

Already over 400,000 views on Youtube is quite impressive for and it's way more than some of the other songs got by now!

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Upgrading to a

her voice and that last chorus a power ballad I stan

 

[pardoESC]

I gave it 4 points.

A song that annoyed me a little. First of all the singer, not that she's not good, she's great, she's great, her song last year was great. But this year it's not that, she can perform a song better than that.

What's more, this song takes up almost every Eurovision gimmick. All about the quiet ballad with the fire around, the singer with the great voice style Shiri Maimon.

Also Hallelujah, has become the new "Ding Dong", it appears in almost every Eurovision song. (Although
That might be the magic word to win the Eurovision Song Contest then, who knows?)

Honestly, at first I read that she would sing a song called "Amen" I thought it might be a cover for Liora from '95 and I was quite disappointed that it was not it.

I do not know why, but this song, constantly made me comparisons to singers in Israel

 

[Citelis]

So far remains my no1.

I was worried when I saw it's a religious song because I wanted to love this year's entry as much as "Voda", and I find everything having to do anything with religion absolutely toxic. But if I really like the song, then the lyrics can hardly change my opinion. These lyrics can totally be interpreted metaphorically anyway.

It's perhaps not as authentic/amazing as "Voda", but I'm so glad that it turned out to be great anyway Ana is just amazing and elevates the song so much

 

[Grinch]

I wanted to hate this song because of the religious lyrics and gospel thingy but when she starts screaming "Hallelujah"... well, goosebumps... dammit

500.000+ views on youtube after a week

very high for a country like Slovenia

well esc in Slovenia is quite popular, sometimes it is bashed and it is often marked as a gay festival or festival of trash music (especially among boomers hahah), but in reality it is always the most watched tv show of the year

 

[Flamenkax]

Updating it to , the song slowly grows on me. Everytime i hear the song, this gospel bridge is on repeat.

Or maybe it could be the conservative Christians in Cyprus streaming it just so the views can overtake Elena's demonic song. LOL.

 

[Sammy]

upgraded it to from to I still don't like the message, but I think I have to give credit to the vocals.

 

[wtf]

This must be the most underestimated entry this year. This vocal coach can't get over her vocals throughout the performance. The juries will be floored and I can see it do Tamara, if not even Conchita.

Strongest vocal this year by far, gives me goosebumps every time

A true dark horse

 

[aef]

I'm downgrading to points but she's still a queen

 

[crashworld]

Didn't see anyone posting this but the song is on Spotify.

Noticed it was uploaded on 27-Feb. I guess it was only made public recently?
I am surprised they didn't do a revamp on the song like they did with "Voda". I feel the song could do a revamp.

 

[Zonne147]

I will be so mad if Slovenia doesn't qualify this year
