Sometimes I know my fire burns low
But as long as you're with me I'll never get cold
'Til day and night, 'til darkness and light
I never worry when you're by my side

Oh, feelings change and seasons fade
But nothing will burn us out
Nothing can stop us now

Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
There's a fire burning for you (Yeah, there's a fire burning for you)
I feel the heat here
There's still a chance for us
Down herе in the ashes, yeah, thеre's something growing
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light)

Light up the room
Light up the room

You and me forever, we're free
We're cool under pressure, and that's all we need
So take my hand, and forget the past
We're in this together, there's no looking back

Oh, feelings change and seasons fade
But nothing will burn us out
Nothing can stop us now

Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
There's a fire burning for you (Yeah, there's a fire burning for you)
I feel the heat here
There's still a chance for us
Down here in the ashes, yeah, there's something growing
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light)

Light up the room

Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)​

Haven't they heard that by dropping the song out of nowhere is the best way to surprise people and create hype?
I mean Beyonce and Taylor Swift didn't do that for no reasons.

To be fair they dropped his announcement for this year out of nowhere with zero build up or teasing so I imagine the song will be much the same. Like, there is no attempt by the beeb to build hype. Its all Newman who is doing it and understandably so as its his song and I'd expect that of just about any artist going to do that.

I mean it is really astounding just how little the BBC has done to build all of this up. I know that the BBC has a fairly loose attitude towards Eurovision but this is silly!

Starting to think we’ll get a random heads-up the night before the song is played on Radio 1/2 the next day... or it’ll just drop out of nowhere... Charts compile Fridays so a Saturday drop would maximise chart impact (I think?)... so maybe it’ll be on the last day...

If we're looking back, Lesley Roy did basically the same while RTE sat and enjoyed their morning beer. I wish BBC were more enthusiastic as they're a pre-qualifier, though. It's not giving me secondhand embarrassment, but please, BBC.

This year's Eurovision becoming very nicely poised for us to sweep in with a record breaking song xheat

I'm tempted to put a bet on while we're in the gutter with the odds. :lol:

I dunno, only way this will be a record breaker is if someone literally drops the record version of the single on the ground.

No hype from BBC, and then BOOM. A total banger. It's a scenario too wild for BBC.

We only seem to have one contemporary pop banger so far this year (Cyprus)... If James does have a bop, could the UK be on for its best result in decades by default!?

Time will tell.

I wonder if the BBC is stepping back a bit and just letting the label/artist do their stuff... We’ll have a random drop and then label-based PR... might not be a bad thing!

I'm scared I hope it's good because I don't know what would be worse:
The UK sending another bad entry or whiny Brits blaming Brexit for a poor result.

So please... just do something good.

If there was ever a year in the last 10 years that I would want a good entry more than ever, it would be this year. Just so I don't have to hear people I like/love saying 'Bottom again, because of Brexit, Europe hates us...' etc etc etc
