I'm French & I completely agree with U about the fact Monika Liu & this song convey something very French both. It's not only the singer's voice but also her gesture. It's a whole. This song & the artist's performance remind me of old French music'hall songs from the 1960's to 80's. Yes, there's something willingly old-fashioned - like the funky-jazz drums - but it has subtlety been mixed with some modern features (the mesmerizong bass line & some discreet electronic music elements). Moreover Liu really enjoys performing this song: she has truly fun, what makes her give a sexy touch to the song... naturally & elegantly. This is why we can think about old French - and also American - movies of the 50's-60's in which actors & actresses wore classy outfits most of time. I do like this song & the artist. I would like to see Lithuania rank high & why not win at last! This country has been one of my very fav' ESC competitors for some years. I can say that I feel a kind of tenderness for it: i have a Lithuanian roommate at home. This man has become like a member of my family. Thus it makes me have strong bonds with his native country in my heart. Moreover, music scene is particularly creative & good in Lithuania. I found out so many talented singers & musicians last year. Waow!!! So... good luck Lithuania! Bravo pour le choix de cette chanson originale ! Also bravo for the choice of singing in Lithuanian national language as well! Giving up English this year brings something much classier & appealing to the whole performance.
Bonjour Pierre, thank you for your warm feedback on LT. Especially about Monica and her song. I really hope she gets to the finals, maybe it will take 1-5 place because the song is worth the finals. Monica recalls Edita Piaf or Mirej Matje. I love and adore France. I really like its language, because it is the language of love. Good luck to you.
I find it interesting that you all got something French from this. Maybe it is just the haircut, the 1970s retro style, the spirit fingers, and the jazzy undertones of the song - but I was definitely getting some heavy Liza Minelli vibes from this performance.
The black foam line is a reference to an old Lithuanian fairy tale, The Queen of Snakes. In the tale, the queen's husband is killed and when she asks the sea for him, she only gets bloody (read: black) seafoam. This means that Monika is actually singing about a lover of hers who has since died. I think she is just happy to have had the memories of him that she does, even if he is gone.
Eng. lyrics: Knock, knock knock, At night, knocks at my heart, A spirit (ghost) full of longing, Accompanied (followed) by memmories. You, it's you, it's you, A face I haven't seen in a while Why are you laughing like a clown, At my glistening eyes. Moments spin (in circles) in my mind, They run, run, where you are, Millions of roses like sentiments, Are drowning in the sea of clouds. A restless sea is rustling, There are tears in my eyes, That's it, he will never come back, He floated back as (in the form of) black foam, I remember as I stood in the middle of Nida's dunes, And waved at a seagul, Far away, far away. Moments spin (in circles) in my mind, They run, run, where you are, Millions of roses like sentiments, Are drowning in the sea of clouds. (2x)
@@blueeyedbaer why are you being so mean and aggressive? I'm Lithuanian, but I am not offended at all. You can't expect everyone to know that we speak our own mother tongue in Lithuania. Now he knows, and that's all that matters. Thank you for a lovely reaction, Dan! 🍀
@@yeparkie8289 maybe because of Lithuanian is a mother tongue of all European languages. Nothing wrong if u dont know your roots, wrong is to blame whom who reminds u.
lyrics transcription is not correct... she sings "shiny eyes", when English transcription "glassy eyes". Trust me. it is kind of creepy and for from sentiments

Yep, the song is in Lithuanian, which is one of the oldest languages in the world and the closest one to sanscrit.

Thank you so much!😊❤️
this is winner show, after vouting
Sentiments
Knock knock knock
At night is knocking at my heart
Full of longing
Accompanied by memories
A ghost
You, it's you, it's you
A face seen long ago
Why are you laughing like a clown
At my shining eyes?
Moments are spinning in a circle in my head,
they're running where you are
A million roses like sentiments
are drowning in the sea of clouds
Ah...
Restless sea is rustling
I have tears in my eyes
That's it - he's never gonna come back
He arrived as a black foam*
I remember how I'm standing in the middle of dunes of Nida
and waiving to a seagull
so far, far away...
Moments are spinning in a circle in my head
they're running where you are
A million roses like sentiments
are drowning in the sea of clouds
Moments are spinning in a circle in my head
they're running where you are
A million roses like sentiments
are drowning in the sea of clouds.

‘Probably Lithuanian if its such a thing’? Really??! 😂
