Austria AUSTRIA 2021 - Vincent Bueno - Amen

[escYOUnited]

Amen, I guess
You said that it's time for us to put
Our love to rest
Dressed in black, you left my neighborhood

No, I never thought you'd bury me and you
No, I never thought we'd die

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen

I bet it's just another funeral to you
But for me it's the end
A marching band are playing gone too soon

No, I never thought you'd bury me and you
No, I never thought we'd die

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?

'Cause it all feels like you didn't even try
Oh try, oh try, try to save us
All this time wasted on a lie

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen, yeah
Are you getting what you wanted?
Are you getting what you wanted?
Amen​

I don't get it..

Is this the entry?

I reviewed it based on that video so I sure hope so

 

[Mrm]

Okay, I will review it based on that video too..
And unfortunatelly I don;t like it..it is so basic to me..so generic, boring, I don't want to listen to it again..
I usually give 4-6 in the poll to middle of the road, generic entries I m not too fond of..and that depends of the vocals, lyrics etc...
Tis is for for now, in my book, cause I only heard overproduced studio version with a lot of backing vocals, I don't see this shine live for now...but who knows..

 

[Lindon]

Very bad sound quality.
Like pasta cooked into slime.
A music cassette with pen noodled back

 

[Ezio]

It's the rip-off of a rip-off. Will be taken down in 4, 3, 2, 1, .... xlol

 

[Gera11]

Ok, it's better than I was expecting and I like it more than his previous attempt (funny enough, I gave that one 7, but looking at my current ranking, I can't give it that much). Love me a good anthemic little song, it is modern and less bible belt-y than the other Amen we have. Ultimately, nothing to get super crazy about, but still a decent entry. I wouldn't call it generic, I'm starting to get an allergy for that word.

 

[Lindon]

The video makes me curious. Haus des Meeres? Inside or outside? The snakes, the sharks?

 

[0scar]

Definitely not my cup of tea

 

[Fluke]

This is really disappointing. I thought he had one of the most underrated entries of last year, but this is the wrong song for him entirely and there's just nothing memorable about it at all, even the lyrics are overly repetitive. I see another NQ here....

 

[SaladBreak]

Ok song

 

[Mrm]

Ok song

I usually give or if I find smth OK..

 

[94ayd]

I have a new bottom 2 since today, this gets a .

 

[SaladBreak]

I usually give or if I find smth OK..

I just didn’t remember it by the time it was over

 

[Mrm]

I just didn’t remember it by the time it was over

The same..

 

[Pål Nordahl]

This is better than I expected, to be honest. But it's not exactly great is it? It's the type of song you'd hear in an off Broadway musical about a broke artist going through a breakup. I'll give it .

 

[sigi]

@Eberhard Forcher: call me

 

[VikingTiger]

This is better than I would think only from the sang title. There is somehing about this that I quite like. His voice is really pleasant. And there is something in the chorus that I like. 5 or 6 for now.

 

[Mainshow]

A song we finally have in common this year.

Nah, we already gave and both - this is our third favourite we have in common

(unfortunately, I do not really like the revamp of "Shum")

 

[Ezio]

For me this song is like a prayer. To lay the ego and own will to rest in order to move on in glory.

 

[Datura]

i don't really like it but i enjoy it more than last years entry

 

[Franzilein]

I like this a lot actually. Very atmospheric. The chorus is a bit too repetitive I feel, and I don't really like how it went the well-traveled "Let's ejaculate towards the end, we need that big final"-road in the end, because to me it's the deep and calm parts here which are the strong aspects of this song. Vincent's voice really shines there! The first part after the bridge really made me hopeful it would end on a quiet, intimate note similar to the likes of Lithuania 2018, but you can't have everything I guess

Overall still a great song though!
