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​

You might be right after all. Around 3:58, Alina says "DIE kennen wir doch ..." So it's a FEMALE!

Maybe she´s referring to the noun "die Person" and thus, it can be a male, female, nonbinary person.
Or Alina is referring to "die Gruppe" which would result into the same grammatical sentence "DIE kennen wir doch" :D

That video basically didn´t provide any new information to us :D

I've just listened to all the finnish entries in UMK again and the quality of every entry is great.
And then I thought of the quality we can expect from the german selection that will also have around 7 entries... I hate it here. Just look at the selection 2019 or 2018 and compare them to UMK 2020-2022 ... Just frustrating.

Absolutely. Even Michael Schulte ... yes, it was an emotional song ( I can feel it very much for personal reasons), but truth is that it was a weak entry. I just hope that we will have 2-3 decent entries. That's all I wish for.

I hate listening to German radio because they always play the old same songs - and if they just discover a great pop artist - they start to play her to death for a year or two and then completely forget about that act.
I´m also afraid of such people who are responsible for picking "I don´t Feel Hate" as well as choosing the songs being played on German radio stations are also the ones picking our entries.

I´ve already posted my concern about "random jury members behind close doors" in the Irish thread - it can go either way but the chances are high that we will face more or less 6-7 facless and generic pop entries which could be working on the radio but not in Eurovision.

There's another rumour, that "Glockenbach" are one of the applicants for the national final with their song "Brooklyn".

Yes, read it also at two or three sites. Not sure if this is true. It is a catchy, current tune!

Could you imagine a contemporary song in the german national selection? Because I sadly can't.

EDIT: That video is way too inspired by the "Blinding Lights" music video. Same color correction and grain filter. Even driving through the same street?!

Ausgerechnet, wo mit den Eskimos Callboys mal eine richtige fetzige Nummer, die sofort ins Ohr geht am Start hat macht der NDR eine Vorentscheidung. Ich traue dem NDR sogar zu, dass sie die Eskimos nicht mal nominieren.

Brooklyn vs. EC in the NF would be a Dream.... but even with 5 great and 1 medicore song in a NF, the audience would chose the medicore one....
