Probably the most underrated song of Eurovision. One of my favorites that never got to see the light because Eurovision is obviously not about talent! Love from Greece!
They made Eurovision just like a stadium-level rock concert, I love that. And I think they deserved more than 11th place. This song is very contemporary and performed by fresh talents. This, alongside with The Netherlands, could change the preconception about Eurovision even though just a little bit. We need more quality songs for next year!
Don't know if I'm the only one who still comes here from time to time but I'm so sad. I fell in love with Softengine and I was sure they would become famous but they just disappeared. I just hope that whatever they are doing they are happy and don't regret leaving the band.
Its hard to be professional in music, believe or not , even such quality band like this might have hard time getting on the radio even in home country like Finland. Depends of your business links, many stuff in Finnish mainstream are controlled by basically one label. I believe they continued after this, but if no one is constantly putting your songs on radio or TV and booking you to every national festival, in terms of making a career is better to go work in a sausage factory or something. Many musicians do almost everything on their own cost. Have to tip my hat though that they made it to Ireland and English top 100 charts with this, the latter one being really hard to anyone. And they did actually get a big contract to Sony of Finland but never released a full length album anymore, however singles from their EP's made the radio billboard of Finland, the last one still in 2016, which is the last year they released songs. Dont know what went wrong with the contract to not make another full album. I also think that officially the band hasnt quit, it still excists.
@@steinarmogen3166 Finland 2018?! Certainly not, this was some kind of a breakthrough due to Saara's qualification. You'd better check what A big fandom she had before the contest. And when it comes to her result in the final, well I needn't explain that 2018 was a bloodbath in terms of songs too
@@valentinaislandsofficialch4539 The problem with Saara was kind of that YLE gave her team kind of free hand. "Monsters" deserved much better placing in Lisbon (around the 15th would be very fair).
Irish here. love the effort Finland go to to show a part of their culture while usually bringing rock/ heavy pop. Thats when Finland is best. I hadn't listened to hard rock (pun intended) in ages then fell for it again hard when I saw how brilliant Blind channel did. Honestly they should have come 3rd in 2021
You CANNOT tell me that this wasn't a winning performance. Simple as that. Amazing vocals, song, staging, everything. 11th is 10 places too low. Hyvä Softengine! Best of luck away from Eurovision! :D
But it was driving me crazy trying to think of what this song reminded me of... I finally figured it out, but its a mixture of so many songs! 00:43 When You Were Young - The Killers 00:56 Fall Out Boy 1:13 Closer To The Edge - 30STM 1:54 Coldplay Hahahaha! I really like this song though! (:
indianagnr09 From poland lol? They get in the finals with terrible songs and u expected higher place ? :D:D:D europa showing that they are voting for tits lol
You guys in Finland always have great songs. You have great taste in rock music usually, it's ok that you're not getting good places, your songs are always nice. It's just that this kind of music is not that much appreciated by the eurovision viewers:P
These "singers" should sing in twillight, but not represent country, where real Nightwish was born, Sonata Arctica, Tarot and others, who really worth to be proud of.
The band actually had a bit tragic future though they are all fine now for what i know. And i think that the band officially still excists but they are on a break. This song made Finnish, Irish and English billboards and they got a contract to sony, but for some reason they never made a full length album anymore. Still in 2015-2016 some of their songs of their EP's and singles made Finnish radio billboard, but thats the last time they have released songs. One of the band members didnt like the fame at all, didnt enjoy being in a band that was famous, and left the band already in the year 2014. In 2022 the singer Topi got diagnosed with a very rare bone cancer. A big surgery on it was succesful and he recovered, however he spent 20 days in hospital and needed to use a wheelchair for a short time and recover his leg again, of which bones were partly replaced with iron, bolts and titan. At the same time the doctors denied him of activities that might hurt the leg again, so he needed to stop his hobbies skateboarding and football. As well as jumping on the stage as a rock singer. Topi started his solo career in 2018 and for my knowledge he released a song last time in 2020. However both the band and his solo career officially havent stopped, so maybe we hear about them some time.
they sound exactly the same live! brilliant song, great lyrics and of course, his voice is very unique and beautiful. much better than many songs out there this year. all my love and respect go out to these wonderful young boys!
Not lying when I say this, but I always knew this was going to do better than what everyone was predicting - it's too strong of a song to flop. I thought it would be top 10, but hey, 11th is close enough! I do think that it deserved to be top 5, but in the context of this contest and considering Finland's past record in Eurovision, I think this song did incredibly well to get to 11th. Proud of my country for giving for 5 points, although it should have been more! Well done Finland, always knew you could get up there!
11th place ! Well deserved , and happy to see mine favourite not in the bottom. I voted 20 times, got 2 points from the Netherlands , but atleast something. Hope to see a lot of great things from the band in the future !
I have to say as a Eurovision fan and as a finn that i couldn't be more proud of these guys! My favourite of finnish eurovision songs ever! 11th place is also absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for voting us, Europe! :)
Michael009 Yeah, they had same nr of points, but Finland was still 11th and Romania 12th as they count which entry has got points from more countries :)
I live in the US, so I don't get to see Eurovision live and all that. But i found the 2014 recording, and by far, this and Norway's were my favorite/ I feel like this should've won; it sounds like there's genuine emotion, and every time I listen to it I get chills. I'm sad it didn't do better :(
HenkkazoR Everyone knows that... but Eurovision is a song contest, not a "pity whoever has the worst medical condition" contest. Norway's representitive has Bipolar Disorder this year, and she still has a great song. No excuse.
Thank you, Poland, San Marino, Denmark, The Netherlands, UK, Latvia, Iceland, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Estonia, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland who gave us points, we love you
I think you should have won!! you were and are my favorite between all! I'm sure you all will have a good future in music life!! Now you know by sure you have another new great fan. Kisses from Catalonia, Spain!!
I honestly thought they wouldn't do so well in the final, but they became fucking 11th! And they were 3rd in the semi final. It's insane and I'm so proud and they definitly have a new fan ♥
I'm still so proud of these guys. But to be honest they deserve so much more attention, because their music is so frickin good. So go listen to their album if you haven't already! :)
This is the first single of those kids. Nevermind the crapvision (so called) song contest They got the exposure and will go places....how far..nobody knows. These kids belong to international pop/rock scene.17-19 year old...what a talent. I predict great things for them in future. I've heard couple really bad quality versions of their next single "Yellow House" and it sounds great. Not a one hit wonder. Keep on rocking in the free world!
Sweden: Eight points
Netherlands: Ten points
Austria: Twelve points
Finland: Something Better.
Isvoor you are funny😜
Finland: 50 points
Finland:something better
@@crowjan.
Hotel: Trivago.
Now I know the reason why I love Tirol 😀
The only Eurovision song that even 7 years later I still regularly listen to!
Yass omg, i just discovered this song. HOW DID I MISS THIS ITS TOTAL FAVS
Me too, and Calm after the storm too
@@Simonjeweetzelf yeee
tbh this is one of my most favourite songs of ESC ever
+aariproductions thanks
Samd
Same
The only song of the entire contest that didn't sound cheesy and predictable.
TranceElevation Armenia the same year? ballad turned dubstep? predictable?
Armenia and Finland are my top2 lol
Zkun I'll have to agree, I was totally surprised when Armenia hit the last minute.
@@litore8657 Armenia was my winner.
This and Armenia were superb and really good outliers in what was quite a boring year
They deserved something better
Probably the most underrated song of Eurovision. One of my favorites that never got to see the light because Eurovision is obviously not about talent! Love from Greece!
Agree!
Excuse me? You mean that Conchita didn’t have talent?
@@thesnesgeek nah, she won it cuz she was trans
I don't care about the results. For me they are the winner
11th PLACE?! 0_0 They deserve something better!
Underrated🤪
Omg this was so good. Even as a finn I've missed this. I think they were ahead of their time. They would do so good nowadays!
I mean they came in 11th, so they did pretty good. It was Finland's second best result at the time.
They made Eurovision just like a stadium-level rock concert, I love that. And I think they deserved more than 11th place. This song is very contemporary and performed by fresh talents. This, alongside with The Netherlands, could change the preconception about Eurovision even though just a little bit. We need more quality songs for next year!

The singer makes songs himself, search Topi Latukka. Those songs are mostly in finnish language tho.
Try to find joy in the journey they had.
I remember them shouting me out on Facebook

The real winner. Not acting, being freak or anything. Just good music. This is what Eurovision should be.
Weird people in eurovision are cool
This is so bittersweet coming back to, seeing how YLE's eurovision team has absolutely no clue what they're doing anymore
Finland 2019 and 18 has been crap, let's hope they go for rock again
this! exactly what I've been saying
@@steinarmogen3166 Finland 2018?! Certainly not, this was some kind of a breakthrough due to Saara's qualification. You'd better check what A big fandom she had before the contest. And when it comes to her result in the final, well I needn't explain that 2018 was a bloodbath in terms of songs too

Anybody after blind channel win?
You are about a month early
@@viviproosa2063 My favourite arter Finland
Yes

YEAH 11th PLACE! SO PROUD OF THEM! LOVE FROM ITALY!
They deserved much more than 11th place!
You're right, but it's a good result anyway.
Davide Battel this is the second best place that finland has ever gotten. We finns are already proud of them for that.
+Davide Battel thank u :)))) I wish we would´ve got to top 10, but 11th place is good as well :))
+Casifire Not quite right there, you've been in the top-10 several times, albeit not since 1989 apart from Lordi.
You CANNOT tell me that this wasn't a winning performance. Simple as that. Amazing vocals, song, staging, everything. 11th is 10 places too low. Hyvä Softengine! Best of luck away from Eurovision! :D
But it was driving me crazy trying to think of what this song reminded me of...
I finally figured it out, but its a mixture of so many songs!
00:43 When You Were Young - The Killers
00:56 Fall Out Boy
1:13 Closer To The Edge - 30STM
1:54 Coldplay
Hahahaha!
I really like this song though! (:
Chanele Mc Guinness Coldplay isn't a song..
Black Purple It's not even music.
1:08 Sounds like the start of call me maybe
Pretty accurate haha! Could totally hear it :)
Yeah! That perfect mix of 30 Seconds to Mars, Coldplay, Fall Out Boy and The Killers :3
Deserved so much more. Would've definitely made my top three!
This song should have won. I voted for it.
Whatever, I'll buy a Softengine album as soon as possible. lml
it may take a while
I want to give you two thumbs-ups.
One for saying something good about this song.
Second one for having a Megadeth album cover as your pic. lml
lml finally someone who understands music!
Softengine's debut album is out NOOOOOOOOOW! :D
itunes.apple.com/fi/album/we-created-the-world/id920817123
I'm so proud of them!! And 11th place! It's the best result we've gotten since 2006! Hyvä pojat♥ :)
I expected more :( and from my Poland too,but Better luck next year !
indianagnr09 From poland lol? They get in the finals with terrible songs and u expected higher place ? :D:D:D europa showing that they are voting for tits lol
You guys in Finland always have great songs. You have great taste in rock music usually, it's ok that you're not getting good places, your songs are always nice. It's just that this kind of music is not that much appreciated by the eurovision viewers:P
Great song. I supported them. #FromUkraine
These "singers" should sing in twillight, but not represent country, where real Nightwish was born, Sonata Arctica, Tarot and others, who really worth to be proud of.

Another fantastic rock song by Finland. One of my favorites
they sound exactly the same live! brilliant song, great lyrics and of course, his voice is very unique and beautiful. much better than many songs out there this year. all my love and respect go out to these wonderful young boys!
this is the live version
Dievas Neegzistuoja i meant that they sound the same live and in the music video
Dievas Neegzistuoja I wouldn't use the word "live" when talking about eurovision...
domogunner the only thing that is not allowed to be playback in Eurovision is the vocals... so yeah, that is him singing live..
Amazing song, production, timing, class. Flawless.
So proud of my Finnish boys, no matter that I'm Spanish.

If only jury mattered this would've been 9th :)
I remember hearing them play this and loving it! It's been on my Spotify playlist ever since, definitely an underrated song!
This song actually won the Hungarian televote, but the professional jury's decision brought down the points to only 6.
So so so underrated!
11th place ! Well deserved , and happy to see mine favourite not in the bottom. I voted 20 times, got 2 points from the Netherlands , but atleast something. Hope to see a lot of great things from the band in the future !
*well how much this cost?*
@@laurafeldmann a lot of money
It's the only one I'd have on my iPod. Congratulations from Spain!!
Me to!
This is REAL music! Deserved much more..
Greetings from Germany!!
*Finland. The gift that keeps on giving in Eurovision Song Contest!!* But this one truly deserved a better placing than mere 11th....
this is hands down Finlands best esc song ever
After 10 years this song still sounds amazing!!! Well done guys 💪
This is way better than I remembered.
2022 and I'm still in love with this. I will never forget it

One of my favourites of this Eurovision. They are really cool and very talanted, they definitely shoud be in top-5
Finland
I'm about to set off for a 7 day trip to Finland, so I came back to my favorite ESC entry from the country.
This is the best eurovision song I have ever
heard!🙌
👌👌👌
An actual ESC gem... one of the best Finnish entries ever
i still listening in 2018 this fucking amazing song.
I agree👌👌❣️
Love this song
In my opinion this was the best act. It seems like a pro band. I think they deserved to win this year. Cumpz from Portugal.
this lightshow still gives me goosebumps!
Underrated
I really love this song. 5 years have already passed but I still obsessed with this. Can't get over. It's so underrated ToT
I have to say as a Eurovision fan and as a finn that i couldn't be more proud of these guys! My favourite of finnish eurovision songs ever! 11th place is also absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for voting us, Europe! :)
Finland and Romania both have the same number of points. Great song anywayz:D
I have to say as an German i couldn't be less proud of Germany... This song was so good against ours ^^
Michael009 Yeah, they had same nr of points, but Finland was still 11th and Romania 12th as they count which entry has got points from more countries :)
You rocked the stage guys, perfect performance. All the best from Albania.
I still come back to listen to this song, it gives me chills every time ✨ love it so much!
I agree👌👌
+1
it gives me hope and some nostalgia at the same time ^___^
Congrats guys, it was a hell of a performance. Now whole Europe and Australia know who you are. We are awaiting your album and gigs! You really rock!
I live in the US, so I don't get to see Eurovision live and all that. But i found the 2014 recording, and by far, this and Norway's were my favorite/ I feel like this should've won; it sounds like there's genuine emotion, and every time I listen to it I get chills. I'm sad it didn't do better :(
The only song from this year that I went back and listened to again! I'm obssessed with it!
This is still one of the greatest eurovision entries ever
For me, the best song of the last years in eurovision.
Blessing for my eyes and ears
every time i listen to this I like it more and more
Still listen to this one from time to time ❤❤
Great Finland you played "something better" than 2013
No way you think that
2013 was Finnlands best song
+Stefano Parisi Certainly better than 2006.... then it went down in 2015
+Robert Sch wtf
+Stefano Parisi Nice one, mate ;)
