Eurovision doesn't do itself any favours. This is one of the best Eurovision Songs ever , and its well performed too boot! How did this come nowhere?? Always with me this song. Norways 1981 nil pointer was an injustice too!
Best Slovenian entry so far ... Period. 🌀The era of real live Eurovision performances, based around a live orchestra. This beautiful orchestral arrangement comes across so natural and so colorful, effortlessly supporting the song emphasizing its mood and lyrics ... Such a humble soulful masterpiece by the unsurpassable maestro Jože Privšek.♥Conducting here as well at 1:26 ... No wonder they are still studying his big-band scores from the 60's at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. 🙂🌹🔥 A true genius.⭐
Whatever people post here, ever since 1993 I still think that Slovenia's debut in the Eurovision circus produced a nice song. It deserved a better rating.
I adore this song. Like somebody else said, happy and energetic, but with a sweet melancholic undertone. And I just can’t help loving that artist. He’s just so sympathetic and talented and really into his music.
I spent my holidays in Slovenia that same year, and this was our summer song. Every time I listen to this beautiful song, it brings back all the wonderful memories. It should have deserved a much better ranking, and it will always belong to my all time favourites.
When i saw what we choose for eurovision this year i had to calm down somehow, so i went and play myself this song. This is REAL MUSIC! Back then, they knew how to write a song, which would stay forever. And no matter which place did we take on ESC, this is one of the best, if not the best slovenian song, which we sent to ESC! Ob takih komadih sem ponosen, da sem Slovenec!
Beautiful, positive sounding, yet with a melancolic undertone song - not quite what we're used to at Eurovision. Only sounds better with each passing year, really underrated.
What a beautiful song and so beautifully produced with the strings and guitar. And the three young women backup singers are beautiful and their moving to the music is classy and elegant. I love their outfits too. Just right. Not vulgar or trashy but bright and fun. The whole number is very moving and exceptional.
My litteral translation of a song: QUIET RAINY DAY Quiet, rainy day, I close my eyes and travel far away, I draw a shadow over past days, and I'm already gone. How nicely I am merging with this world that stuns me How quickly the time that doesn't exist pulls me in. CHORUS: What would world do without dreams? (What would?) When there seems to be no luck in it. What would time do without dreams? (What would?) Life like that would be meaningless! What would world do without dreams? (What would?) When there seems to be no luck in it. What would time do without dreams? Time without dreams... The sky is blue, In the distance I hear bells, In the morning mist, another poor guy walks behind me. How nicely I am merging with this world that stuns me How quickly the time that doesn't exist pulls me in. CHORUS: What would world do without dreams? (What would?) When there seems to be no luck in it. What would time do without dreams? (What would?) Life like that would be meaningless! What would world do without dreams? (What would?) When there seems to be no luck in it. What would time do without dreams? Time without dreams...
Ena najboljših pesmi, ki so kdaj Slovenijo zastopale na evrosongu. Skladba je glasbeno zelo bogata in dobra, je pa napisana v takem načinu, da ti postane všeč šele, ko jo poslušaš večkrat. Se ne čudim, da evropskemu občinstvu ni šla v uho. Dober začetek za Slovenijo, kljub majhnemu številu točk.
when you watch this... and compare to the "songs" we're sending to Eurovision now... it makes you wanna cry, these were all great songs made with heart and passion Wish those days would come back To so bli slovenski cajti ne pa to kar se ga grejo zj Take care everyone
Best song that year, hands down. Such a quality gem and even more impressive, as first time Slovenian entry. Sadly juries and viewers back then had dirt for brains, how garbage like the UK entry could reach #2 is merely because it's a UK entry not any song quality. Let's face it, Britain's days as popsmith kings unfortunately are long over, died in the '80s sometime so if this contest went by a criteria of quality alone, an entry like 1 x Band would've won easily but alas the masses want crap which is why loads of excellent songs in the '90s never won or ended high. But there were some true gems throughout '90s Eurovision, sadly they mostly drowned in all the nonsense that surrounded them. Show less

My altime favourite eurovision song. My other favourites of all time were nil point Norway from 1981, Turkeys Ballom Ballom in 1989 and Heroes for Sweden . The last winner from the UK was a Newmarket girl called Katrina back in 1997 with 'Shine a light!''
Hej, se strinjma z bprimorcem! Zelo dobra in poslušljiva pesem, ampak ravno zaradi vseh teh prijateljskih vez je Slovenija žal vedno podcenjena. Vseeno lahko častno prenašamo to podcenjevanje, saj imamo kljub temu dobro glasbo.
Hi, I was amased to read the comment that you were of the background singers at the Slovenian entry of 1993. This entry was my favorite entry in 1993- perhaps my Eurovision favorite ever. It was not only the song- but the video clip as well. It was so uplifting and colourful. And I adored the girls which were so catchy and cheerful on the video clip. especially the dark-haired who seem to spread great joy all around. I listen to this song very often now. May I know who of the girls you were?
I loved this song. I thought it should have won...yet again a great song comes low down on the voting. It has a natural feel to it without sounded cliched. And the tall woman looks like a mermaid with those big flares.
@jumhmosq This song is not one of the best song we sent to Eurovision contest but THE best :) As for clothing... They rock :D I'd like to have Cole's tux for our video shooting :D
This was Slovenia's entry for the 1993 Eurovision song contest and my all time favourite moment of the competitions history. Hang your head in shame you miserable clueless eurovison durys!! This came joint 22nd, a very lowely second from LAST!!! It got just 9pts! 4pts from Italy, 3pts from Sweden, 1pt from Bosnia & 1pt of Malta. I gave it 12!! and another 12!! and another.... Danny Baker!
Lol yes. Their choreography is so funky and cute and that was enough for 1993. Nowdays choreography must be sexy and erotic otherwise it is not choreography at all. God, what times we live in.....
My top 10 from Eurovision 1993 - 1. Austria 2. Sweden 3. United Kingdom 4. Malta 5. The Netherlands 6. *SLOVENIA* 7. Germany 8. Turkey 9. Greece 10. Luxembourg
Yes, I like this one very much too - esp. the intro, which makes it a perfect soundtrack for rainy days (such as today here). They certainly deserved to do better, even in the strong year that was '93, but then again, Slovenia has been, IMO, the most underrated of the ex-Yugoslav states, with quite a few noticeable entries that didn't get their proper due ('01, '05 and '07 come to mind). For some reason, they don't seem to benefit for neighbour voting as much as their former co-patriots.
God I remember this eurovision so well this when the new (to us) balkan countries came on the scene this was the best one although highlight was the getting through to sarijhevo (excuse the spelling) come on BH Croatia or Slovenia time for ye to win we are approaching 20 yrs!!
I totally agree with you on '99, not my type of song at all. Their '95 was truly amazing! I think that they ended 10th in '97, as far as I know, I think that's the only Top 10's Slovenia have got.
Darja has indeed a powerful voice, and her '95 entry was truly memorable and a deserved top-10 placing for the Slovenians (and they don't have many of them), but I can't say I like her '99 song - far too melodramatic for my taste.

One of the best 10 Eurovision Songs ever !!!!
I love the background singers. All in all a very nice song
For me - best song ever in the Eurovision history!
idanFR even though im from Slovenia, and i RLY like this song, i still think, that France (Gall) in 1965 produced the best eurovision song. :D
Yes, France Gall was GREAT, but I never have enough from Slovenia 1993 (Live is my favorite version).
idanFR For me as well
Perhaps the best Slovene entry in ESC....not the best of the ESC!!!AHHHH!!!!
I LOVE SINGER, I LOVE THIS HAPPY SONG !!!
Beautiful, positive sounding, yet with a melancolic undertone song - not quite what we're used to at Eurovision. Only sounds better with each passing year, really underrated.
Totally agree! One of the best from Slovenia :)
man im proud to be a slovenian
imagine understanding the lyrics they're fireee🔥🔥🔥
I agree. I think this is an outstanding song
The backing vocals are simply great!!!!
i always loved this song. kisses from spain
I loved it too, always helped me to face a hard night shift when worked as a nurse, I played it in the car on the way to work. It deserved to do well.
Very good song. One of the best songs in 1993. Greetings from Berlin.
Best Slovenian eurosong ever! Greetings from 🇩🇰. Love it! ❤️
Yes
I keep coming back to this. After all these years it's still fantastic. I mean everything.
What a beautiful song and so beautifully produced with the strings and guitar. And the three young women backup singers are beautiful and their moving to the music is classy and elegant. I love their outfits too. Just right. Not vulgar or trashy but bright and fun. The whole number is very moving and exceptional.
Ted Johnson Unfortunately not everyone understands it, lyrics to this song are absolutely beautiful as well.
My litteral translation of a song:
QUIET RAINY DAY
Quiet, rainy day,
I close my eyes and travel far away,
I draw a shadow over past days,
and I'm already gone.
How nicely I am merging with this world
that stuns me
How quickly the time that doesn't exist
pulls me in.
CHORUS:
What would world do without dreams? (What would?)
When there seems to be no luck in it.
What would time do without dreams? (What would?)
Life like that would be meaningless!
What would world do without dreams? (What would?)
When there seems to be no luck in it.
What would time do without dreams?
Time without dreams...
The sky is blue,
In the distance I hear bells,
In the morning mist,
another poor guy walks behind me.
How nicely I am merging with this world
that stuns me
How quickly the time that doesn't exist
pulls me in.
