Poland POLAND 2022 - Ochman - River

[escYOUnited]

Gonna take my body down
Right down, down, down to the river
Gonna take my body down

Let the water carry me away
Just float away
Oh oh…

Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done

Carry me away
I float away
In the river

Gonna lay my head right down
Right now, now, now and forever
Gonna lay my head right down

Let the water carry me away
Just float away

Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done

Carry me away
I float away

In the river, oh oh
In the river, oh oh
In the river, oh yеah

Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm donе
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done

Gonna take my body down
Right down, down, down to the river​

Interesting, from which part of ??

My parents are from Gliwice, the birthplace of Lukas Podolski.

I don't know, sadly :c My great grandparents were polish and that's all I know... I still have the polish last name though

Filip woke up and chose violence today

The traditional downvote when another country poses a threat to victory.

So that means you don´t speak any Polish??

Sadly I only know some very simple things like "Yes", "No", "Goodbye" or "My name is". My parents wanted to teach me the language but sadly I was pretty stubborn when I was a little child.

Btw, it was such a lovely gesture to acknowledge ALL former Eurovision participants form Poland by showing snippets of their performances or having their faces in the intro of the 2nd part of the show.

I can´t imagine NDR inviting Jendrik, Ann-Sophie, Levina, S!ster, Jamie-Lee and Ben Dolic to be part of our national final next month

I guess if this was a melfest winner you'd have added a 1 before 2

No but based on my name a lot of polish people assume that I do Always awkward when they talk to me and my only response is a blank stare. And I'm very lazy when it comes to learning languages... just not my thing.
Maybe I should also at least learn basics like "Yes" "No" and "Sorry I'm a german potato I sadly don't understand you"

Let us all disapora kids attend next year´s national final in Poland and maybe attend a language course for a week or two straight before the event

Knowing a few basics is always a good thing, Polish is also a beautiful language, next to Slovenian my favourite from the Slavic family.

I´m totally in favor of that!!

Is your Polish at least a little bit better than ours??

My motivation: the song is just a bit cringeworthy, we've heard it before. Also his voice (or his pitch?) is completely wrong for the song.

I can ask for the way (and understand the given directions) but that´s it - a couple of phrases and words - I can read the menu (which is a good thing, I guess - unless the dishes get too exotic) but having a conversation? no

I'm glad that song from Poland made so good impression on some people. Last year TVP made a huge mistake sending very forgettable and poor song... I don't know what to expect in may, there's potential here but I don't see it as positive asbookmakers and please, staging should be improved! And he sounds great today for most parts of the song but some parts of the song were sung worse than I expected. Anyway I give points. Currently my third place.

 

[marty]

Thats a strange song. I dont like his voice. I give 3 points.

 

[Ana Raquel]

who is the other person who voted for this let's be friends!!!!!

 

[midnightsun]

Oh wow!!! My first 12 points this year!!! Awesome song; I wish he would leave out that high note Arcade sound which ruins the song a bit. Because it sounds like an Arcade copy.

I think this well do decently in Turin, as in a left side finish of the scoreboard around 12-15th place, but no way do I see it as an actual contender.
The big weakness here is Ochman himself. He has a great voice but lacks any kind of stage presence and charisma like Duncan and Gjon’s Tears had, for example.
Ochman has a very introverted way of performing which doesn’t invite the viewer in and I don’t think it’s something you can just improve on, but we’ll see.
The big factor working in his favour though is that this year is turning out to be a very weak one so far.

One good thing about Ochman winning is laying Poland to win ESC will pay my bills for a year

 

[dannytr24]

I like his voice, the song is good too. This should make it to the top 10.
