Ireland IRELAND 2022 - Brooke - That's Rich

[escYOUnited]

Take your mirror off the wall
Ain't you gettin' bored of your reflection
I'm tired of dodging all your calls
You wanna be the centre of attention

I'm gettin' sick of ya now
Stop sending flowers
I'll just burn them all
you'll cry for hours

Always putting me down
Well I got news for you
Ya say I'm usin' ya now

That's rich
When it's coming from you
That's rich
Cos I got nothing to prove
That's rich
You think i dress up for you?
That's rich
BYE BYE fool (ooww!)

Used to think I need your help
To feel good turns out i do it better
Think Maybe you should please yourself
Cos I am over you, i'll see ya never

I'm gettin' sick of ya now
Stop sending flowers
I'll just burn them all
you'll cry for hours

Always putting me down
Well I got news for you
Ya say I'm usin' ya now

That's rich
When it's coming from you
That's rich
Cos I got nothing to prove
That's rich
You think i dress up for you?
That's rich
BYE BYE fool (ooww!)

I think it's funny how you miss
When you never knew me
You were a lazy lover
I moved on to ones that move me
Loser lose your attitude
I'm doing good that's on me
All glowed up, yeah that's on me
You see me now, you want me

Bye Bye
Cause I don't need a lazy lover
Bye Bye
No I don't want to meet your mother
Bye Bye
Don't cry I'm sure you'll meet another
And you'll tell her that you love her

That's rich
When it's coming from you
That's rich
I know all of your moves
That's rich
You think i dressed up for you?
That's rich
That's rich
Yeah that's rich
When It's coming from you
That's rich

BYE BYE fool (ooww!)​

Ashes of Yesterday isn't terrible....better than the first two songs at least.

Still hoping the full version of That's Rich or the remaining two songs will be better.

I really like "Ashes of Yesterdy" - It´s still not a "sure qualifier" but I think it´s more instant, accessible than the two previous entries.
Ireland needs to come up with something stronger to make an impact in Eurovision, though.

Ireland till now: 50 shades of meh

 

[Looren]

I like it, it's catchy, good song

My ranking so far :

1. Brendan Murray - Real Love (10/10)
2. Janet Grogan - Ashes To Yesterday (8/10)
3. Rachel Goode - Am Loving Me (8/10)

 

[mauve]

All three songs are quite meaningless to me.

Will you unfriend me again, Morocco?

Since I saw you crying the last time, no, never again

 

[njdevils94]

Brooke has strongest song so far. Not perfect but some potential at least in studio.

@Morocco2021 You are missing an e at the end Rachel's last name.

Janet Grogan - Ashes To Yesterday

II have a feeling I have already heard this song somewhere.. It is so empty and boring..

 

[Flamenkax]

Uh, Brooke's song kinda lit, can't help myself vibing to it

 

[Gwendal]

The synth in "That's Rich" is quite cheap, but the overall product is a standard above what Ireland showed us this year

I like That's rich but it sounds to me like something I would have listened to around 2007-2008 on a party playing a playlist with the yeah yeah yeahs and the ting tings on it.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

That's Rich sounds a bit more awkward than I had hoped but at least it's not boring.

It could work if they were willing to revamp it a little maybe.

 

[theditz83]

Just shows how much of a generic cliché cheese-merchant my music brain still is that I actually adore "I'm Loving Me" after the first listen. I actually think Rachel has the best voice as well (based on studio versions anyway, although we've seen live performances fall flat for Ireland before).

I'm immediately adding it to my current bops playlist on Spotify and will be ready to become obsessed with it in the coming weeks because I clearly won't be hearing it at Eurovision in May. It's such a cute song - cliché, of course, but sometimes I just want some of this in my life. The chorus melody in particular and the "woah-oooohhh" backing singers, and I even dig the short guitar interlude

Last word on the matter - KEY CHANGE, WOAH-OOOOOHHHHHHHH!!

Exactly, songs with messages like "be strong" are really something we´ve never heard before.

Btw, this was supposed to be sarcasm.

 

[Mrm]

"That's rich" is just all right, but I doubnt it will work live..

 

[doctormalisimo]

Ashes of Yesterday sounds like a slower tempo Embers #nulpoints
