I am OBSESSED with this song. "Overthinking" be damned, this is just the right amount of analysis we need for a song oozing with symbolism. I swear, Luke Black really just wrote a song specifically for me and injected it right into my veins. Outstanding song and I hope this gets the recognition it deserves in Liverpool.
Serbia are certainly bringing about a whole new genre of music to us Eurovision folk. As long as its sounds like this year and last year, I'm all for it
Serbia is sooo underated thia year. This is easly top 10 or top 5. Like message is soo strong and music itself is so original and not generic like 90% of esc this year
Literal or metaphorical sleep as an escape from suffering seems to be a theme this year. I can think of Serbia, Latvia, and Spain, three very different songs that treat the topic from different perspectives. A lovely trilogy.
When I first saw the performance of the national final, I didn't really get the video-game theme. But now, after this video, I feel like the puzzle is now complete. Hope for better graphics and costumes in Liverpool and this will be an all time favourite!
As a covid gamer, definitely relate a lot to this, regressing to comfort in a world that doesn't exist and where tasks are given to you. Perhaps it's a chance encounter with my first Eurovision (especially seeing the age of some of the contestants and feeling wild that some are young 20's or even teens!). Much respect for it and I actually really enjoy it.
tbh i’m not a huge fan of the song, but because of this video i can at least understand him and the song a lot more. i like the idea and meaning of the song, he’s very relatable, and while that doesnt suddenly make me love the song, i can appreciate it more than i did before. thanks for that!!
This is why is important to have new interesting entries in Eurovision. we get to discover new interesting artists offering different styles. basic eurofans only care for rankings, if they had to choose, Eurovision would be all Fureiras and Loreens one after the other😪
The song jumped several ranks upwards on my list after I finished watching this video. Thank you for sparking a newfound appreciation for Samo Mi Se Spava within me. ❤
Our national broadcaster should include English translation of song titles for national selection so people can immediately know what title means. "Samo mi se spava" many people translate by online translator incorrectly as "I am just sleepy". That has much less impact than "I just want to sleep forever"
@@hazy-skies2630 you can't translate them separately. "Samo" is "just". Me=to me, se=untranslatable, similar to"myself" but not with that meaning in this context, spava=sleep, but the verb construction of Luke's sentence doesn't correspond to the English one ( I just wanna sleep, I feel like sleeping all the time) and doesn't exist in English.
@@hazy-skies2630 Serbian grammar doesn't always literally correspondent to English one. samo mi se ... can be translated as "I just want to"... then add verb /sleep, eat, live, fight, sing (spava, jede, živi, bori, peva) and you get "verb is making me only want to do that" there is alternative way to say the say, as Luke is singing "želim zauvek da spavam" which literally means "I want just forever to sleep". Serbian is like a Yoda speaks, it can be used backwards to make a point. that is why google translate fails, and they should put proper translation to avoid confusion. where you from?
@@colinafobe2152 I'm italian but I speak russian so I 'm a bit confused because serbian is a bit less slavic, like the presence of the verb "to be" LMAO also I thought samo meant "to me, myself" and it means "just". Well I never really cared about being exposed to serbian until last year ESC but I'm recently getting into balkan languages.
@@tead5675 Thank you, I can really catch the vibe in his words but I wanted to catch whether the samo the mi or the se stood for "I want to sleep" cause they all looked like synonims to me hahah
That's a good analysis! Also thank you for referencing the paper about climate anxiety as I am studying youth-work at university and it might be helpful in my studies.
Such an AMAZING analysis! This is HOW it should be done! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! SERBIA will save the world! (What is going on with this country?!) Serbia has set NEW STANDARDS unseen before. Should we say anything about KONSTRAKTA?! BEAUTY will save the world! THANK you Serbia for everything!
Bravo,genius explanation.Thanx for mentioning Konstraktas Evo,obecavam!It's beautiful,lavanda and patchouli, great minds,both,but unfortunately on Eurovision politics are intruder.
Thanks for another great vid! gonna be honest, i think i might be the exception here that actually had a 2020 better than 2023 the themes of dejection at current events connect on a deep level
Highly recommend listening to Konstrakta's new song, mentioned at the end of this fantastic video. It's truly a piece of amazing art and very catchy too.
People with depression tend to have out of body experience, feelings separated out of them, feelings maybe this life is not real... All understandable.
I really like your videos, they're really well explained and funny :) just an ever ending question: why the euopean map in the opening/ending is a from the 1910? xDD That always catch me and I never comment it Thanks a lot, you're amazing
This is an interesting question. The map isn't supposed to be accurate and up-to-date. If it were just a current map then this could be the intro to ANY Eurovision channel. But using an old map is supposed to be a nod to the idea of the "old world," and an indication that we're coming at these songs more from an historical and academic perspective rather than with deep contemporary knowledge. Our first big opening was a microphone bursting through a Renaissance map of Europe, and we like that idea of new pop music colliding with old traditions and customs.

Serbia entering new alternative era of Eurovision and I'm living for it!
Luke Black is my biggest grower ❤

Konstracta blew me away, I’m a great fan
You`re a master analyzer.
Serbia has always exceeded expectations at Eurovision, so innovative and memorable.
I think this is your best video! Fantastic
Such a deep understanding and analisys, thank You. We (Serbia) are proud of Luka (and Konstrakta).
Omg his song is profoundly deep. That makes me love this song so much. 💗
Literal or metaphorical sleep as an escape from suffering seems to be a theme this year. I can think of Serbia, Latvia, and Spain, three very different songs that treat the topic from different perspectives. A lovely trilogy.
These three are my favourite songs!
Maybe they speak to me cause I’m always tired lol
🙂
All three are basically my top 3, but not in the order you mentioned haha
i love all the three songs so much :’)
After this deep analysis, I love this song even more.
the sims thing is so cool, i had no idea thats what he was referencing
I FUCKING LOVE LUKE
Oh man, you are genius!
As a gamer, I can feel this song.
This video makes me like Serbia’s song even more now that I know all the symbolism!
Bang on! Luka for the win! 🏆🏆🏆
Bravo Luka!Bravo Čačak!❤
i remember u from last year konstrakta analysis, lots of love. love this song and the stadge performance. x
When I first saw the performance of the national final, I didn't really get the video-game theme. But now, after this video, I feel like the puzzle is now complete. Hope for better graphics and costumes in Liverpool and this will be an all time favourite!
In the target. Well done 👍
The way he says Čačak 😂😂😂
hahahahahahaha I'm sorry but it's hilarious 😂
Thanks from Serbia. ❤
Luke is really special.❤

Thank you ❤️
Gooo Luke ❤️🦞🔥
Great video! Thanks from Moscow ✌️

I wish more people are like you, who can still not like the song but understand the artistry behind it♡
This was fascinating 🖤
You really did your homework!
I love Luke ❤ He’s probably the most wholesome guy in the contest right now and I feel like me and him could be such good gaming buddies!
Impressive analysis. Your drive for truth, research and deeper understanding is awesome. Thank you for such a great comentary.

This was a great video and it will immediately bump the song up in my rankings!
awesomely researched, as always
You're so amazing, I have no words to say how deep this was, I thought I understood the song, but you nailed it. ❤ Love from the Konstraktaland
The song jumped several ranks upwards on my list after I finished watching this video. Thank you for sparking a newfound appreciation for Samo Mi Se Spava within me. ❤
The best analysis of the song. You hit the nail on the head. Well done. ❤
Brilliant analysis and choice of clips for this video. Well done.
Wow...great work! And what an amazing analysis again. It is just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Its time to win new sound on Esc ..Go Luke ❤
Wow, love your deep analysis
I find these videos are really helping me get into this year's contest - some of these songs have layers.
Great analysis!
Great analysis as always. ❤
Luke is the only man I've seen reference the matrix recently that appears to have actually seen the film
Bravo Luka, ta tri prsta mnogo govore o tebi.... Originalan, fascinantan, odličan, kompletan.... Srećno u Liverpulu.... 👋👍❤️🇲🇪🇷🇸
Amazing analysis 🙌
BRILLANTE INTERPRETACIÓN!! AMO esta canción. Amo su interpretación, el ambiente, etcetera
Odlična, kompletna analiza!
Bravo!

"Samo mi se spava" many people translate by online translator incorrectly as "I am just sleepy". That has much less impact than "I just want to sleep forever"
Could you explain the synthax?
Like "spava" must be sleep, but I don't get what the words "samo" "mi" and "se" mean when sees a single.

Yesssss! Finally! Thank you!
Amazing analysis! Thank you!
I was looking forward to this analysis. ❤❤❤
I'd always rather take overthinking than underthinking, which most of the other reviewers do.
Добар је Лука, бољег нисмо могли да изаберемо ове године. 😁🇷🇸
Pa baš je izabran pravi i u odnosu na ostale, sve ih stavio u senku.... 👋🦀🇲🇪🍀🇷🇸❤️
That's a good analysis! Also thank you for referencing the paper about climate anxiety as I am studying youth-work at university and it might be helpful in my studies.
I did wonder if the wave was a Sims reference - nice to know I was right
Such an AMAZING analysis!
This is HOW it should be done!
BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
SERBIA will save the world!
(What is going on with this country?!)
Serbia has set NEW STANDARDS unseen before.
Should we say anything about KONSTRAKTA?!
BEAUTY will save the world!
THANK you Serbia for everything!
Best song esc 23

Damn, this video made me love this song
Thanks from 🇷🇸
Please do Poland’s Jann Gladiator (it’s not like there’s anything to overthink in “Solo” anyway..) 🤣
It's quite funny for polish people, because in polish there is phrase "Samo mi się spawa" that is spoken similar and means "It's welding by itself"
Highly recommend listening to Konstrakta's new song, mentioned at the end of this fantastic video. It's truly a piece of amazing art and very catchy too.
Thanks very much for nice explanation 😊
Wow great ❤thanks
8:29 That dog is saying: "Samo mi se spava".
Amazing infos, you guys worked really hard for this video. Thank you
01:47, funny thing, the somewhat red-haired girl representing Austria, Teya, is Serbian too 😊
I know, been practicing pronouncing her name. I think I got it.
@@overthinkingit oh, this guy and his lines. Love it. 🤣🤣🤣
I think she participated in serbian esc preselection 2020
@@bisiblis yes, as Thea Devy with Sudnji dan 😀
Also one of the Slovenian band members this year is also Serbian.
wow! ❤💙🤍
Great 👍
I was waiting for that 'girl call universal'😁
I thought it was "girl call universal"
I relate to this song so much especially after the pandemic;;;
Amazing review. Thaaaank you ❤
Cha-cha-k 😂
Divan grad Čačak.... 👋❤️👍🇷🇸
@@systemupdates___ Finland also loves Cha-cha-k, so much so they wrote a song about it this year. Cacak representation.
People with depression tend to have out of body experience, feelings separated out of them, feelings maybe this life is not real... All understandable.
The way you pronounce "Čačak"....😅
Yeah, it’s hilarious when foreigners place the stress on the second syllable instead of the first. 😂
Cha cha chak 🤣🤣🤣
The Diablo 4 ending was so meta 😅👍
Thank you for the beagle footage! So... The German song will be next?
That was a basset hound.

I did not like the song as I could barely hear his singing.
The meaning is indeed fascinating
did I hear lord of the lost at the end?!! 👀👀 omg cant wait for the episode about them!!!!

Great video! Could you potentially do Austria and Estonia? They both have interesting themes (especially Austria) that I’d love to see in more detail!
guess who just watched 1 month of videos in 1 night :)
This is the way.
I was Gutted it didn't go well.
Overthink Romania!! I'm thinking there has to be something I'm missing there
I'm waiting for Germany ( great vid btw :) )
I am dismayed at who actually won Eurovision 2023. There were a few good contenders.
Love the phineas and ferb reference😂❤ why did nobody commented about it 😅
The robot you can just unplug is very Doofenshmirtz. Waiting for somebody to mention the Undertale screenshot. 🙂
Sad dog videos: those videos about dogs with sad stories like the ones from The Dodo (cry guaranteed, if you have a heart).
