Austria AUSTRIA 2022 - LUM!X & Pia Maria - Halo

[escYOUnited]

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

We don't need a Hercules to bring a man down to his knees
No more apologies
Philosophers like Socrates define yourself, think on your feet
Go sharpen your teeth

We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know
Yeah, we can be the boss
Fly higher than the Gods
We're not under control
And no, no, not anymore
If you feel me, then put your hands up

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night

I think I had the right idea
Beautiful, something to feel
For a hundred years
We're gonna be written among the stars
Posing so we're hustling young queens

We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know
Yeah, we can be the boss
Fly higher than the Gods
We're not under control
And no, no, not anymore
If you feel me, then put your hands up

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Don't need no
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night​

i'm interested how they manage the staging aswell. i don't think orf has been very good with dancing choreos and i'm not sure they will go in that direction. i think that that lumix definitely will be on stage though - as he should be as he's credited as the main artist.

not sure pia maria is much of a dancer too tbh.

just looked at the odds and austria is currently at 32 - i guess they move up quickly once the entry is released, top20 imo for sure escpecially given what else has been selected recently

 

[Lindon]

I spent some time yesterday trying to find a statement that I read somewhere, but I was unsuccessful. This statement described that the plan is to split the camera shots on stage 50:50 between Lum!x and Pia Maria. Dancers were not mentioned.

 

[hijirio]

I have a place reserved for Austria in my top 3, please don't disappoint

 

[sigi]

Does anybody know what day the song will be released?

11th of March of I remember correctly

I'm totally blown away.

 

[sigi]

damn

 

[EscGeek]

Alright, is my new leader

THIS IS SOO AMAAAAAAAZING I STOPPED WATCHING SERBIAN SEMI FINAL...

 

[aef]

Okay we are really serving some BOP for like the first time ever to Eurovision, I can't believe it

 

[Lindon]

I can't stop listening to it.

This is not so much kind of stuff, but this will do well in May.

I really dislike her voice - the pre-chorus is catchy as hell and sounds like something which could actually be a huge European hit - but I hate the effects on her voice - that´s also why I didn´t like "Hurriance" in the Finnish national final.

Her vocals in the chorus is basically unlistenable to me.

This will probably end up being part of my bottom 5.

It´s a sure qualifier, though.

I don't dislike her voice that much but I partly agree with you. I'm also not too keen on her voice colour. It's classic for songs like these though

 

[Looren]

Woah I like this

 

[aef]

Now I'm even more curious how on earth this will be staged haha

I agree with you - it will also perform well in May - it´s just that kind of music I never listen to (EDM+these vocal effects + a young female voice (sometimes a bit high-pitched or screechy)) and it´s a total nightmare for me

BUT - I will give it another try when the full song gets released - the arrangement/production seems quite current and top-notch and I have to admit that it´s quite a bop.

Still, I wish it got another singer.

You are right. This isn't made for listening, it's made for dancing!

 

[EscGeek]

I think this could be my winner! I still haven't recovered

I love her voice btw

 

[Looren]

This is really unusual from Austria, I don't like this style of music usually but I enjoyed what I heard of it ! Let's wait for full version now !

Same with me. Too much autotune (I don't like this kind of effects when it's done too much). I am not certain if this can be performed live well, but let's see.
