I wake up and I think I could use another drink
I'm reaching for a smoke to forget about last night, last night
I get up 'cause I need a shot of instant remedy
I put a record on, it makes me think about last night, last night

It all ended in the weirdest chip
He started actin' way too hip
That's why I ignored you for a long, long time
But then you had the best opening line
You're in the wrong place

You're lying next to me, I don't know where to hide
I see his smiley face that makes me wanna cry
What was I thinking? 'Cause all we did was fight
Don't you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt

You're in the wrong place, you're in the wrong place

You wake up and you think you won't need another drink
You don't want me to smoke, though I didn't stop last night, last night
You get up 'cause you need an organic cup of tea
You put a record on, it makes you think about last night, last night

You confuse me with your blurry eyes
Thought you were a different kind of guy
That's why I took you to my messy place
But it felt as if we were in a different space
You're in the wrong place

You're lying next to me, I don't know where to hide
I see his smiley face that makes me wanna cry
What was I thinking? 'Cause all we did was fight
Don't you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt

You're in the wrong place, you're in the wrong place
You're in the wrong place, you're in the wrong place
You're in the wrong place, you're in the wrong place
Don't you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt​

What an utterly disgusting and incomprehensible attitude Alex Callier had and I refuse to understand that both Raymond and Luka would agree with that. There are no words to describe it.

On the other hand, I kinda understand that many fans will be biased but I won't never force myself to dislike their song in advance just because of that awful attitude...

For me, my opinion about a song only depends on the song, but again, I understand people who don't think that way. I just think we don't need to boycott their song like 8 or 9 months before it is released for the reason I have stated and also because, once more, I refuse to believe Raymond and Luka agree with Alex.

Childish drama basically...

Should preface that I agree with people here that Luka and Raymond should've been allowed to sing it if they wanted to but you can't force people to sing if they don't want to. Still Alex hasn't helped himself with the fans at all whatsoever with the reactions here and on twitter.

to be fair, we don't know what luka and raymond think. perhaps they both declined singing as well 🤷

though honestly, i don't think either of them care that much either way.

Is this really any surprise though? Considering how they (or he idk) attacked people as having trashy out of date taste for thinking their song is repetitive and not liking it. :lol:

First drama of the Eurovision season, but will be forgotten until next year I assume

I can't wait for Luka Cruysberghs to leave the band and start her own solo music career, like Suzanina, Kyoko, Geike and Noémie Wolfs did!

It'll take a few more years for that to happen, but yes, the cycle will repeat itself eventually.

I have a strange feeling (and have had for a while) that Hooverphonic will pull out of 2021. I don't know what it is

This news excites me way more than it should. Geike Arnaert is the voice behind the songs I grew up with, so to speak. On the other hand, swapping out a fresh 19 year old singer for a 40 year old on her retour is perhaps not the smartest move if you want to win Eurovision.

I have no idea why Geike left the band in the first place and why she would come back out of the blue, but from an external point of view, it does look like: "girl, come back, we don't want to flop".

I'm sorry for Luka, her voice might not have had that much character, but it's difficult not to see an opportunistic move in that sudden change.
