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​

Another Benelux disappointment here :/ The orchestration/composition is too classical for me, and I'm not a fan of the atmosphere and her voice either (bring back the other singer, pls).

It's okay enough as a whole for a :5: I guess

Release Me was just repetitive and languid to me, a song that just sucks all energy out of you. This is p stylish and with pretty strong presence, I like it.

The song is highly addicting, making me want to listen to it over and over again. The melody is also easy to remember, but it will be interesting to see if this resonate with the jury and the people and Alex's meltdown if they do poorly xthink

I think this is better than Release Me, but I'm not really a fan, is it a grower, hmmm I'm not sure.

I really like this! I give it a :10:!

It has something about it that reminds me of "Superhero" by Johnny Hollow.
"Release me" really was not my thing, thought it was really boring and going nowhere.

But reading about how they told Luka an hour before the press annoucement that she will be replaced is really shitty.

I kinda had a really bad first impression, which is worrying, but at the same time after the first listen I loved the song more and more and it's currently a contender for my 1st place.

An excellent glow up, and Release Me was already good!

OH BELGIUM!

This is QUALITY. I wasn't a fan of las year's entry but this... blows my mind. It has a dark electronic vibe that I really, really enjoy. Very curious to see how this is going to turn out live. I hope it doesn't fail like Sennek. That staging was really not what the song needed.

Best of luck and a beautiful :12: for you.

So we went from "Releaaaaase me~" being repeated over & over to "Last niiiiight~"

The instrumental is probably one of my favourites this year, what a great sound. But that melody.... aaaargh. Those long dragged-out notes are really not my taste at all, they make the song seem endless :/

This has just kicked Ukraine out of my top 3, OMG I love it. It's true I might be biased cause I've been listening to their music since some years before they were chosen for 2020 and they're among my fave groups ever, but I personally believe this is one of their best songs ever (ofc not as good as Romantic or Mad About You).

Don't know where it will land competition wise, but Belgium always have the classiest acts now. That's a freaking awesome song, and also it's great to see the dream team back again. Well done Belgium ! Alleie !!!!

I think Release Me was a stronger entry, but Hooverphonic clearly knows how to make music. I like this. I miss Lukas vocals though. It is very pleasent to listen to. :6: points to Belgium. xrose
