I have to admit this is my winner, touched me in more than words can describe and something I really resonate with. Jeangu has an incredible voice and this song builds up to a euphoric choir of beautiful voices. This song really means a lot to me and truly stopped me in the tracks. This is above and beyond everything else this year for me, thanks for the great reaction!❤️🇳🇱
This was borderline in my top five and I really loved it. I have a sneaky suspicion that this could've been the jury winner had the contest gone ahead. The build was so good and it really delivered at the end. I love that picked up on the strength of the vocal arrangements in this one. I think it's just such a high-class entry and as you pointed it, they really got across what they were going for. It was just so professionally done.
This is such a wonderful song, it's in my Top 5. The structure is a refreshing departure from verse/chorus/breakdown, and builds throughout, right up til the end - where it all just ends! I've heard people say that's a negative, which I can understand, but it's a very deliberate choice - to leave space for the song and idea to 'Grow'. I imagine sadly it wouldn't have done so well in Eurovision, unless people really connected to the emotional side of it. The juries /should/ reward the original composition and his beautiful vocals, but whether they would have or not... Well, I suppose we'll never know now 😅
I follow that reception completely! It's a really nice way to end it considering how the song built up towards that point! I thought the juries would be the ones to appreciate "Home" last year and they gave it 0 points so I will never again claim that I know what they're going for hahaha
My family all has this in our top 10. For this this song is so sincere and the lyrics are beautiful and haunting. I especially like the structure of the song. It’s more of a three minute build but I appreciate that something new with the vocal arrangement of the sound comes up!!! Jeangu is also one of the few artists this year where I went back and listened to their discography and I thoroughly enjoy his music. I am so glad he will be back for esc 2021.
I love this song... strangely, it sums up all of my thoughts about life in this 2020. And his voice is very good, he doesn't need flash and lights, he is enough.
A charming and bitter sweet song , that sadly, may well have felt the curse of recent host's entries. Jeangu returns this year and i look forward to his participation and what kind of song he will offer up.😷 ps my 3rd
My 3rd place! I love, love, love this song! Jeangu sings from his heart, I can tell it. I love the gospel aspects of this song. For me it's slow but not boring! Lovely reaction and review!
That is very true... I just classify the "concrete instruments" as instruments because it's more convenient to say and I think everyone understands me best that way hahaha
This song didn't make it into my top 10 but I appreciate how beautiful this song can be. His vocal delivery is very sincere and personal, which reminds me of Diodato with Fai Rumore. The song starts off with a slow yet elegant and captivating opening, followed by a nice progression throughout. However, the ending is too abrupt and I kinda wished there's like 30 seconds or more to allow the song to progress better. This reminds me of Bulgaria 2018 where the song should''ve had another chorus as a climax but the song was spectacular regardless.
I feel like this is one of those songs that could go on forever. It builds so smoothly that the listener just follows the progression and it can take any direction it wants to because it already hooked you!
I think the song itself is very interesting and relatable in context. We're getting older, and it's not what thought It'd be like when we were kids. Time goes by way faster than you'd think. I imagine this song wouldn't do well in the results. It's very restrained and minimalistic, which is something that usually is near impossible to pull off with a good result alongside it. The only exception I can think of where it did work, was with Portugal in 2017. Still, looking forward to what he'll be bringing us for 2021.
I love this song, but for some reason I haven’t been listening to it at all. I don’t really know why, but I will definetly start now. I just love the lyrics. It’s so emotional and I really get the feeling that every word comes from Jeangu’s heart. I don’t have to much to say about the instrumental. It’s good, but it’s not too memorable. The lyrics makes up for it though and I really think that Jeangu was the perfect artist for this song.
Although I understand what you say and you bring new insights to me - it's not really my thing. I actually want music with my music unless I really like it from the start. It's not one I return to.
Oh joy.. great entry.. would probably end op bottom 5. That song has grown a lot on me. And its easy to connect too. The disappointment of adulthood and finding out how you wast or aint in the place in live that you wanted or think you wanted that Turned out to be something else. The whole " the more i learn, the less i know." Comes with the concept off when you grow up your mind opens up for new concepts and perspections that makes life less understandable. In other Words.. Knowledge is a great thing but the more you get the more you will lose contact with your inner child or person who is in "the now" with the World. Imagine you are a doctor. How many doctors do you think can go to a party and total ignore the knowledge you have. You will be aware of germs and symptoms and you will know you are on Call tomorrow. With knowledge its harder to be completely yourselvf. You slowly lose the small things that makes life enjoyable and easy. Anyways its just some thoughts. Great content as allways groot
That's a truly great reflection and it does make you wonder how life changes through time. It's a personal struggle to balance one's knowledge and one's perception... quite a hard-hitting truth to be completely honest and I'm glad you shared your insight on this. Sometimes you need to sit back and really take in what someone wants to say with a song and I don't do this often enough...
Well, from the comments I might be the black sheep, I really don't like it, it's not memorable to me nor interesting, it's not one of my favorites it's in my bottom 10.
I don’t know if this is relatable, but anyway. This is a song I really, really WANT to like. I can’t really criticize it properly. Because everything is done good. Jeangu is a good singer, it feels so sincere, it has a build-up. Everything good. BUT! It’s really not for me. So. It’s actually my place 40 out of 41. But yea, I won’t criticize it. Because I can hear that this is done well. But I’m clearly not the target group for this! :)
@@groot1421 Heh yeah, as I mentioned, I’m not sure if people can relate. But if it were a movie review, maybe I would say it like this: ”Man, this is a well executed action movie. Unfortunately, I just don’t like action”. You see? I can ”objectively” see that this is a sincere piece of music. But I’m not the target for it.
This was my winner. It's got everything that I look for in a song. There's a live extended version which is just amazing
It was my number two and honestly my favorite of the slower song. Gave me goose bumps. Honestly it was so underrated by the fans.
My number 1 too!
Fun fact, this song made me cry on first listen. It spoke so much to me 🥺

Netherlands and Bulgaria were my favorite ballads this year!!
This one is a grower. The build up is wonderful and leaves you wanting for more!
Vocals are also an instrument. 😁
That is very true... I just classify the "concrete instruments" as instruments because it's more convenient to say and I think everyone understands me best that way hahaha
@@groot1421 Of course, I was just trying to be funny. 😁

I think i belong to the few people having this one in their top 5, the song is massively beautiful and has an incredible atmosphere.
Love this song and the lyrics are amazing
This song really needs to ..grow on you. Sorry for this unintentional joke but it's really the case for me
Your humour is superb as always
Absolutely love this one. It's art. :)

I really understand that... some songs you just don't return listening to because you need to be in a specific mood to enjoy it to its full potential!

@@escadri4407 Yes, I absolutely understood your point hahah
I was just surprised to see it THAT low!!
Its a very mature song but lacks melody. Not esc material, but that's not a bad thing. I like it. Mid of the table for me
I love this but I know it would hav done as badly as o jardim :(
