I'm gonna let go of the armor
Let off the power that I've been lighting
Not afraid of the monsters, of the nightmares
That I've been fighting

Easy to run, harder to stay
Finding colors in the grey
You thought I was done
But I've gotta go on
I fell twice, now I'm twice as strong

I've been searching all the wrong places
I've been trying too many faces
Only one way to go
This is the way back home
I've been searching all the wrong places
I've been trying too many faces
Only one way to go
This is the way back home

I had to take all of the wrong ways
All of the wrong ways
As I couldn't see
All the signs, all the mistakes
Pointing one way to get back to me

Easy to run, harder to stay
Finding colors in the grey
You thought I was done
But I've gotta go on
I fell twice, now I'm twice as strong

I've been searching all the wrong places
I've been trying too many faces
Only one way to go
This is the way back home
I've been searching all the wrong places
I've been trying too many faces
Only one way to go
This is the way back home

My soul is a map, my heart is a compass
I am the road
There's only one way to go
This is the way back home
My soul is a map, my heart is a compass
I am the road
There's only one way to go
This is the way back home

I've been searching all the wrong places
I've been trying too many faces
Only one way to go
This is the way back home
I've been searching all the wrong places
I've been trying too many faces (I've been trying)
Only one way to go
This is the way back home​

Unfortunately her rehearsal looks and sounds like some hot mess. I feel confident she will NQ. Hopefully I will be proven wrong.

Fingers crossed for a Q. The song deserves it! I am a bit worried about the staging. It seems like there is a lot going on and a lot to think about for the singer. I hope everything runs smoothly in the semi and that it get's to the final. I've heard it looks good!

Not Eurovision related but Ireland won the Free European Song Contest last night. 16 countries competed last night.


I believe a German broadcaster set up this competition last year when Eurovision was cancelled. Conchita Wurst was one of the hosts.

Honestly I like this song better than any of the songs we've sent to Eurovision in the last 20 years...

Edit: You know, I'm pretty sure there was another international song contest Ireland won recently. It's kinda crazy how we don't even hear a peep about this in Ireland.

I cannot wait to see this full performance. It's the one performance from Semi 1 that I'm most curious to see in full after the rehearsal snippets, and I think the Irish delegation should be proud in trying out a unique and engaging concept that will stand out. Hoping Lesley's voice is strong enough to gather the support to see her through to the final as well xheart

Much better than her 2020 entry and it's yet another song that is among my guilty pleasures. While the odds may disagree, I believe we will hear her once more on Saturday.

7 points.

Another inoffensive song I can most easily imagine somewhere in the middle of my ranking. I like the horses in the music video. 6 points from me.

Why is it allowed to let prerecorded parts replace lines that she was supposed to sing (according to the official version)? It's scandalous.

I was quietly excited for this one, because it was so competently presented. The staging was creative, inventive. But this was only good in comparison to Ireland's other entries over the last 10 or so years. They need solid vocals, they need more serious staging. Like 2019, it's likely people saw the staging as "the live action segments in-between Saturday morning cartoons."

I liked it, but I can see why it fell through, Ireland needs a tighter overall presentation -- emphasis on the vocal department.

I really liked the staging but the vocals sounded quite weak imo... Didn't really surprise me that it failed to qualify. The staging though would have deserved to push her through....
