Look where we are
We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleaming
I wish there was a way to go back dreaming

Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know that we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em

I tried getting rid of the pain
I tried to make it go away, but it probably won't change
Always thinking 'bout my own worries
Remember back when we had no worries?
Now life just ain't hitting the same
I sit and miss and reminisce about innocent old days
When I was afraid of nobody
Now I'm afraid of being a nobody

Don't wanna leave my bed
I'll just stay and never get it together
'Cause the voices in my head
They keep saying it'll never get better

Look where we are
We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleaming
I wish there was a way to go back dreaming

Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know that we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em

Sometimes I got this kinda sting that's right inside my chest
Its only purpose is convincing me that I'm a mess
And even though it's always been an uninvited guest
It finds a way in nonetheless
Wish I could change my address
And you know
Just be somebody else for a couple of days
Although I'm pretty sure we all feel the same kinda way
'Cause if you think about it
Aren't we all set in a place
Where we look back at better days
And wish they weren't so far away?

I wish that I could just go back and be the way I was
I wish I'd still not give a damn 'bout how I come across
I wish the way I saw myself had never gotten lost
In all the worries, all the thoughts, overthinking all the parts
So exhausted, always caught up inside my doubts and flaws
And I'ma count them all
Somebody catch me, I'm 'bout to fall
Yeah, I'm 'bout to fall
Can we press pause?
Or do a restart
And be who we are?

We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleaming
I wish there was a way to go back dreaming

Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know that we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em

Didn't we?
(We used to be the rockstars)
Didn't we?
(We used to be the rockstars)
(We used to be the rockstars)

Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know that we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em​

Germany is climbing quite rapidly in the odds. I dont understand why. With the juries that could be quite ok but in the televote..... I fear that it could be 0 points again. I hoped that the staging would be much different from the NF but it is not.

I like it and I think people are way too negative about our entry and I say this as someone who really didn't like any of our entries since TBAS (and maybe Schulte). At first I thought that this was another boring pop song but his live performance really elevates it. He is so good and the song is catchy. I really like the second half of the song. This is not a winner but this doesn't deserve to be in the Bottom 5. Maybe I'm biased because it's my country, idk.

If you put a question mark after your "zero hype" statement it’s a rhetorical … that‘s so funny! Or did you expect something else?

For me personally, "Rockstars" isn't a fantastic song, but it still is like 13th (?) place in my list because there are much weaker songs this year. I don't like Malik's song much, but I think he has a pretty sympathetic appearance and the staging is surprisingly very cosy and good. But I have no idea where it will land in the end.

He comes across as very charming, honest, humble and honestly, I think his song is a grower - I have been totally outraged about the whole national final (process) and I´m still utterly upset when I think of NDR and all these useless radio bosses who chose the most generic and radio-friendly entries (whilst preventing authentic, different and well-established artists from entering our national final) BUT I honestly wish Malik a great time (and it seems that he´s been enjoying himself a lot in Turin/at the pre-parties/getting along with all the other artists) & I´ll keep my fingers crossed for him getting a few jury points - the song´s alright.

Wer wusste, wer nach dem ersten Semi die Koffer packen muss?

Unsere ESC-Experten haben die Kandidaten des ersten ESC-Halbfinales unter die Lupe genommen und dachten, sie wissen für wen die ESC-Reise im Halbfinale zu Ende ist.

Malik singing different ESC-songs along the Ukulele that Stefan plays. And Lauri finally singing well. :ROFLMAO:

I'm impressed he knows all those songs, at least a part of it. I don’t think all contestants have listened to their competitors.

Portugal is definitely going to qualify. I would be shocked if they don't.

Hope it won't go through..
They won by landslide with a snoozefest.. so they will keep on sending the same sleeping pill over and over hoping they can win once every 50 years.

Felicia Lu getting a spot in the jury as a consolidation prize because she did not win the NF is not a good idea. Max Giesinger is a musician who does exactly the type of music we‘ve heard in the NF, only worse.
Michelle is Schlager… Tokunbo Soul/Jazz. Christian Brost is radio host from one of the radio stations that were involved in the NF.

Oh dear! I dislike our jury basically every year but this year… you can tell which songs they are gonna vote for and I know it will be the opposite I am voting for! 😂
