Bulgaria BULGARIA 2022 - Intelligent Music Project - Intention

[escYOUnited]

And I can move on from here
How simple, life goes on
Humble, that's how I feel
Sparking hot flames, holding on
Younger days run so clear
Through my mind, replaying my crime
Tearing me up, spreading fear
Obsession in my own time

What life's taken away, I'm not missing
Will I sit back and sigh?
A thunder of thoughts, I'm dismissing
Too scared to even try

And in time I've always known
I'm never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war
And in time I've always known
I'm never in the safеty zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They wеre sending me to war

My intention is strong and real
Only power steels my will
The illusion of safety's surreal
Don't let it go for the kill

What life's taken away, I'm not missing
Will I sit back and sigh?
A thunder of thoughts, I'm dismissing
Too scared to even try

And in time I've always known
I'm never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war
And in time I've always known
I'm never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war

I don't want to take on the pain
So, I go seek inner signs, or a calling
The more freedom I gain
The less real life I'm recalling​

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG

Checked your avatar with TIX and now I get it why you might be in love with it, lol. But as much as I dislike Norway last year, it was vastly superior to this.

 

[Zonne147]

I'll miss the old Bulgaria, Intention is probably the first entry from them I can't say I like since 2010. I really loved their "too desperate to win" period and their formulaic songs that were written with the purpose of winning Eurovision, but I understand when people say that they are tired of that predictable Bulgaria.

This is OK. I don't dislike it and I wasn't bored, but I don't have anything really positive to say about it either? It's just an insipid song to me I can't really see it standing out in ESC.

5/10

 

[Mainshow]

It really says a lot that we basically just got a single Eurovision entry so far and I, as an avid and huge fan of Eurovision, can´t remember a single note or line from "Intention".

I can remember that I did not dislike the entry when I heard it but it is just completely forgettable...

 

[ESC94]

I just had to downgrade from to , it just bores me to death.

 

[Looren]

People can say what they want, but no one can deny that so far it's the best ESC 2022 song

 

[empo21]

The song falls into the forgettable, don't care entries category, which is probably the worst place to be for an esc song.

Does not evoke any sort of emotion whatsoever.

Oatmeal of songs

 

[ayzelto]

It's not a bad song, but coming from Bulgaria it's a huge step back from other entries. I was expecting some originality from them tbh. 4 points from me.

Here is the first live performance of the song i found:

Intelligent Music Project - INTENTION (Eurovision 2022) [Live at Ruse, 15.12.21]

Intelligent Music Project will represent Bulgaria with the song INTENTION, on Eurovision Song Contest in Italy 2022. #eurovision #intelligentmusicproject #bu...

I am sorry, safely to say, this is not my kind of music. It got the 80s rock/metal music written all over.
There is a potential for it to appeal the older crowd or those who are into nostalgia rock/metal music.
It's not a bad song, but it's just not for me. Giving it a "4" for now because there is no chance I will put this on my playlist and won't listen to it again until the SF.

I grew up in the 80's and listened to Rock and Metal. But this song is quite boring for me. I wish I could love the song more, but the spice is missing. I hope that the ESC 2022 will include a great rock song like Maneskin or AWS that I can support from the bottom of my heart.

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

Bulgaria picking this song is what my imaginary friends and I refer to as "pulling an Argo".

 

[94ayd]

If they were a really intelligent music project, they wouldn't enter this song to this contest.

 

[Krishoes]

Tragic.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Come on guys, we've seen way worse things on Eurovision, for example Arcade and Toy winning... The song is not good, not bad, it's just there... Nothing memorable, nothing to be ashamed of. It's just there.

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

This song is a proof how hard it is to compose a good rock song that sounds contemporary and appealing on a mass scale, like Zitti e buoni was. Makes you appreciate Måneskin even more.

In terms of music in general this Bulgarian entry is not memorable, and in terms of the respective genre it is a reincaranation of the worst rock's decade (80's) that we (the rockers) have gladly forgotten.

I'm sorry Slavic besties, next year maybe.

Greetings to Iker and Mauve.

Harsh but true. LOL

 

[Milos-BC]

I am a huge rock fan and I was enthusiastic when I saw that is going with a rock entry this time, but sadly, the song itself failed to impress me.

I wouldn't say it's bad, it's decent. But it's way too generic and it misses that special "something" to make it stand out. The refrain is catchy but not very memorable.

I expect more rock entries this year and I hope those will be better ones. Someone in the team was obviously inspired by Maneskin, but this song is not even close to Zitti e Buonni.


3 points.
