Lights, beaming down the rainy street
All the faces that I meet tell me I'm wrong
Ride, staring at the neon signs
Making up a storyline, gotta hold on
Not lost, even in the death of night
I can make it out alright
Just let me go
Yeah, I, I will make it through somehow
Let me figure out what is in and out

So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
High above ground, living it now
I'm gonna take you to the end of the line
Taking that fight, make it alright
It doesn't matter if I stumble and fall
I'll make it through, I'll never touch the ground
So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
Hold on real tight, make it alright

Hard, I won't give my heart and soul
I am going for the glow, no looking back
I'm gonna rise high up in the atmosphere
I ain't got no time to fear
Follow my tracks

Not lost, following the neon lights
Shooting through the summer skies
Just let me go
Yeah I, I will make it through somehow
Let me figure out what is in and out

So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
High above ground, living it now
I'm gonna take you to the end of the line
Taking that fight, make it alright
It doesn't matter if I stumble and fall
I'll make it through, I'll never touch the ground
So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
Hold on real tight, make it alright

I'm gonna take all the world tonight (Oh-woah-oh-oh)
Not gonna ask, gonna take what's mine (Oh-woah-oh-oh)
So hold on tight, baby, let's get high (Oh-woah-oh-oh)
High above the ground
Ride, staring at the neon signs
Let me figure out what is in and out

So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
High above ground, living it now
I'm gonna take you to the end of the line
Taking that fight, make it alright
It doesn't matter if I stumble and fall
I'll make it through, I'll never touch the ground
So baby, hold on for the ride of your life
Hold on real tight, make it alright​

If only he just stick to singing his parts instead of just doing all those unnecessary call-outs and ad-libs (which the song don't require at all). The staging is actually one of the best in SF2. Rafal didn't sound that tragic, tragic is what Moldova's Natalia is.
If Rafal sang his parts like he did in The Voice Kids back in Poland, it would not have been that cringey.

I liked the visuals. Sadly, he stood no chance to qualify.

Alicja would've made it, though. Easily. I hope for a stronger entry next year from :pl: . We know :pl: can do it.

One guy from Dadi's band got covid-19 being accomodated in the same hotel as Polish delegation. Could it be that some random hotel worker brought it in? Did they do everything in their might to prevent that? I've read some shocking stat according to which the Dutch people ... were least likely to wash their hands after exiting toilet (pre Covid though!) Kinda unexpected considering how clean their country is elsewhere, lol.
I really hope they learn from the case. And maybe they already know something and just don't say it for personal or other reasons.

He should have got more points than our Samanta, if the voting was honest, in my opinion.

Natalia did do better. And some of her singing was more a stylistic choice advised to her anyway, the breathy first verse, the screech part.

Rafal's song was fun but I felt like others that they needed to mix things up in the reprise after that nice middle section. Maybe they could even have shortened the song, why does every song have to be 3 minutes anyway?

In the live all the shoutouts to the crowd didn't mask the nervousness, and it was off-putting how clearly the backing vocalist was singing the lead part. He simply had a different voice to Rafal, they may as well have had that other guy on stage alongside him.

Exchanging 12 points like that. How crazy is that? Poland and San Marino: The new Greece and Cyprus. :LOL:

I really liked the dancing, but he shouldn't dance. Another #Michaeljacksoncurse = people that wanna sing and dance and can't do one well enough live. When he joined in the choreo in the first half, I started screaming like a little girl.:love::love::love:
My poor heart.
Where was the TALENT though?!
Damn. He could dance though, for a minute but still. :rolleyes:
