~~~~~ Lyrics ~~~~~
When we were boys
We played pretend
Army tanks and army men
Hide and seek
Grow to be the kings we dream
Where did we go?
We’re standin' on the frontline
Where did we go, we go?
I don’t wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don’t wanna have to play with real blood
We ain’t playin' now
Can’t turn and run
No water guns
No no
I don’t wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don’t wanna have to play with real blood
'Coz we ain’t playin' now
Can’t turn and run
No water guns
Just body bags that we’ve become
Adolescence, breaking rules
Nothin' hurts when you‘re bulletproof
I remember, yes, I do, I do
Where did we go?
We’re standin' on the frontline
Where did we go, we go?
I don’t wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don’t wanna have to play with real blood
We ain’t playin’ now
Can’t turn and run
No water guns
No, no
I don’t wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don’t wanna have to play with real blood
Cause we ain’t playin' now
Can’t turn and run
No water guns
Just body bags that we’ve become
What we’ve become
What we’ve become
What we’ve become
Playin' with water guns
Not playin' with water guns

Very nice
There’s nothing to say, Switzerland always chooses deep songs and beautiful voices and they manage to always stay elegant, I don’t eve know how to express this feeling. Our neighbours are really cool.🇮🇹💕
Absolutely agree, the message and emotional performance & his voice are literally stunning ❤

Grazie a tutto
It’s giving me ‘Snap’ vibes, i think it’s gonna be underrated in Eurovision, but it can be a radio favourite after the show. This is the one song that can go viral and i’d love to see that happen, it’s so good
@Carlos, I find it interesting that you think that, but I can see it. 🤔 I personally thought it had more “Tout L’Univers” vibes, from Gijon’s Tears in 2021, since they both have balanced vocal build-ups but to each their own of course. I agree that it would be great to see it go viral as it it is super good, and I’m surprised it’s not as high ranked on people’s favourites. It’ll be interesting to see how the juries rank it though. 😊
Say that again 👍👍👍
well,it's so right
Well definetily wont be snap vol 2, dont even compare this to that Snap which is much better
@@Moikkaa123hdnd i’m not comparing it to ‘Snap’ in terms of which one’s better or saying it will definitely have the same success. However, i think this has the potential to reach an audience outside of Eurovision, i may be wrong, but i love it
It's a pity that Remo's great voice and his wonderful song weren't rated and appreciated better by the expert juries or by the public votes. For me, Watergun was one of the best and strongest songs of this year's song contest 💪👏. anyway congratulations to Remo from Switzerland 🇨🇭. Boy, you're right to be proud of yourself 👍
I agree
One of rare Eurovision songs I liked from the very first listening. Hope this wins. Best wishes from Croatia. ŠČ!
I meni je super pjesma. Pozdrav iz Švicarske
Poz iz Svicarske nazad
Slažem se u potpunosti!!
Također. Stvarno lijepa melodija i snažna poruka. Nažalost prekrasne pjesme više ne pobjeđuju ali meni osobno ova je apsolutni favorit.
This song makes me cry.. Such a young man, but already such a mature voice and such a deep message.. I'm giving a standing ovation to this masterpiece. Thank you Remo, thank you Switzerland 🇨🇭
I completely agree with you! this song is truly a powerful and emotional song, and it's amazing to see such a young artist delivering such a deep and meaningful message.
This song.. 😢some soldiers don’t want to be solders but have no choice.. God bless my people and my country.. may we be free for ones and for all
Best male vocals of Eurovision 2023 imo. Definitely. He's impressive live, no need of pitch correction or other tricks at all. This year we have pretty good vocalists.
There is pitch correction though
Italy has a clearly better vocal ability and range!
@@eddible544 italy is so overrated
As a swiss, it's not often that I can be proud of what we are sending to Eurovision. Very unlikely to win but I wish him to do good. Great voice , good and simple music, deep lyrics. It is a great song ❤️🇨🇭
If I were from your country I would be also very proud of this song and artist. He really deserved so much more than what he got
If I was Swiss, I would’ve been super proud of all of the songs Switzerland has sent since 2018!
@@EdvinMedvind 2019 and 2021 were really good yes ! equally proud of them. The worst I forgot the year but dj Bobo and the vampire song.
Это лучшая песня прошедшего евровидения!
Спасибо из Украины!
This was my number one this year! ❤❤❤
Most underrated song of the year,touching lyrics with such a calm and stabile vocal from Remo
I really hope it goes to finals,love from Serbia!!
As a Ukrainian, I must say this song hits on a different level.
We don't want to be soldiers, but we must, and we will pursue - for our families, friends and Motherland. And yes, there are no waterguns around.
Thank you for bringing this theme in your song!
Remo's voice is deep and really beautiful.
Like yout interpretation, stay strong and I'm with you.
♥️🍀🙏
My heart goes out to you, Ukraine. No one wants this. I pray the God we'll see peace there soon.
@@emg7446 there should be different interpretation
God bless you, your loved ones and your country 💙💛
Most underrated song of this year's Eurovision! He's such a good singer and this song is such a bop, been stuck in my head since I heard it!
I didn't expect him to have this voice. I hope he delivers us a show on stage 🔥🔥
Rick Astley moment
@Marin :))) ahaha stop 🥹
He will
With best wishes from Ukraine! This song is deep in my heart!!! Considering that no one from us wanted to be a soldier and play with the real blood 😭😭😭😭
exactly what the song is about
А для мене це навпаки, знецінення героїчності українців. "I don't want to be a soldier" - так наче ми хочемо. Відчувається загальний посил а-ля, давайтє жить дружно. Деякі іноземці не розуміють, що неможливо "помиритись" з тим, хто ціленаправлено прийшов тебе вбити.
With best wishes from the UK for Ukraine 🇺🇦 we love you so much stay strong ♥️
@@yanabanana5086 Вы мои мысли читаете . С любовью к Украине от беларуски из Швеции . Украина переможе ! Слава Украине и ЗСУ !
@@lanamartinkevich3610 дякую за підтримку ❤ Героям слава! Жыве Беларусь!
Great voice and with a lyric that hits home. Should have won, the best song of them.
This is my winner!
As someone who comes from a vulnerable region with a recent history of bloody wars, this absolutely hits so hard!
Best of luck and much love from Kosovo/Albania!
As well as Croatians who always supported people from Kosovo and their struggle!!
This is my winner too even though all songs are good this is my favorite
Mine too
Very strong vocalist, sounds like he'd nail this live. I'm guessing Sacha is back for Swiss staging so hopefully something interesting is brewing.
Ya Remo was in Sweden so I’m guessing Sascha’s with them
yeah I've read she's part of the team again. Hoefully she'll pull a flawless staging for this song
@@JamieFM_Yeah and also Käärijä was there so maybe my wish will be granted and Sasha will do Finland too.
So for her - Sweden, Albania, Switzerland
Maybe Finland, Georgia, Australia
Watch his performances on The Voice Of Switzerland!
But she sucks. All her stagins are the same
listening on repeaaaat. Best song of the competition.
Lyrically, this is incredibly powerful and would be my pick for the 1st semi-finals group.
Coming from the future, the song made it to the final! This song has such a strong message and im hoping to see it live this saturday tbh
The message of the song is so strong, something I have been thinking as a finnish person since we have mandatory military service. And especially with what is going on in the world atm. This song is awesome.
Yes. Another Finn here. And now we are joining Nato, after years of trying to stay neutral. It's understandable, perhaps unavoidable, and I guess I would have said yes myself if I'd been asked. But to tell the truth, it breaks my heart.
Same. I’m American and we have a selective service system. It’s scary with everything going on right now.
Another kinda Finn, a Chinese Finn here. Brilliant song, it shows the core idea of Switzerland being a peace-loving nation. Switzerland never disappoints, since 2019!
BTW, Remo was born just a few days before 9/11, which makes the song even more significant.
💞
@@kaisanuolioja8937 Mutual emotions from Sweden...
This song is amazing.It's really underrated in Eurovision,but this artist will have his greatest achievements❤
This is one of the most underrated swiss entries ever in Eurovision!
Ah, Song Reveal, what a beautiful name of the song.
The Song is called "Watergun"
wait is it already confirmed?
@@matteo5777 it was not confirmed, but I have never seen Crystal ball on Twitter being wrong until now..
@@meltayy aight. well, we will see tomorrow anyways haha
@@matteo5777 crystall ball is in these things a very good source
i can't stop listening to this song
me too
This song is so beautiful and the most underrated song of Eurovision 2023. I'm from Myanmar...a country where longest on going civilwar in history. It hurts to see wars.
Much love to you from Switzerland! 🇨🇭❤️🇲🇲
Much love from The Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇲🇲
Switzerland is becoming one of the main favorites by sending good songs to Eurovision in recent years. First Luca Hanni then Gjons Tears and again this year. True, my winner in 2019 was Duncan, but in 2020 and 2021 Gjons Tears was also my winner. Especially Tout I 'Universe😢 This song is also quite good. Good luck Switzerland
Pidän tästä koska se ei ole liian raju eikä tylsä tämä on hyvin mukava ja se ääni kerto säe kaikki ihana biisi😮❤❤❤❤
As a mother of three sons, this song hits me... really hard.
Mum of 6 sons, I feel you.
@@RuffledRodent ❤️
I have 3 sons too
Exactly!
Why, Are they in the army?
Thank you for this strong message Switzerland❤... love from Italy 🇮🇹❤🇨🇭
One of my favorite songs!! ❤
I can’t even put my emotions into words… Such a strong message, deep lyrics… I’m so much impressed. Right to the deep of my heart. Switzerland definitely deserves to have good results this year
Thank you so much from Switzerland!!🇨🇭❤️🫵🏼 It is great that my country can enrich the contest
@@drifty2294 i love Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 and i love so so much this song 12 points to Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭 from Greece 🇬🇷
This made me cry. Is this an exceptional year somehow? I don't normally have this many favourites. So, here goes another vote from me! Good luck from Finland.
CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA🔥
Same.
actually good luck from country that winner of 2023*
Nice to read your comment. So many fans saying that is a bad and weak year !
🇨🇭❤️🇫🇮

Playin' with water guns
Not playin' with wаter gunѕ
thanks
this song broke my heart i cry ❤️🩹🇺🇦🇨🇭
I Don't want to be and never will be a soldier. This powerful song is so good. I rather end my own life then take someone else's, because that is not my decision. People should love each other so much more.❤️ I may be a dreamer, but I believe in peace
Switzerland is so good at making dynamic, exciting ballads and the people who still go on to call it boring, don't get music. This song has so many changes and levels to it and his voice is great
I guess people's tastes just differ drastically. I graduated from music theory and I do find this song interesting.
@@kaisanuolioja8937 agreed, but I'm just sick of some of these eurovision fans calling every ballad they hear boring after one second of listening
@@turtellok4964 I just told them I am also tired of this kind of „boring“ comments😂
Okay, I respect his vocal appears strong and there’s nothing particularly wrong with this ballad. But ballads have to have something very unique about them to be appreciated fully by Eurovision (in native language or exceptionally produced with a very strong message). This is a good song - I’m not calling it boring but it’s a bad entry for Eurovision in my opinion. It’s not going to stand out and I wouldn’t really care if it qualifies.
@@turtellok4964 Yes. My take on this: Everyone who bothers to write or perform any kind of music at all, deserves my respect. Everyone. And much worse songwriters/performers too than those you see on Eurovision who are all solid musicians. On the other hand, no one deserves my respect by shooting negative one-liners on social media. That is the easiest thing in the world to do, and at the same time, the most lame, uninspired, lazy and boring thing. So, are they in the position to criticise? Not really. Maybe take a look in the mirror and consider this for a while: What did YOU do today that was worthwhile? What did the artist do?
So underrated..I love his voice and this song so much. Such a powerful message. Good luck from Netherlands ❤️🇳🇱
what a beautiful song… proud to be swiss
The competition is getting serious. This is really nice
Switzerland did it again, I love the song!
I think this is one of those cases that the live performance will shine the song and his vocals. I hope he can sing like this live. This can be a moment on stage, I'll be rooting for that
He can sing live. Remo Forrer on The Voice Switzerland ;)
I don’t know it just kinda has that non qualifier vibe to it. It’s a solid song but I just don’t know if it’s fit for ESC, though if they somehow figure out the staging the song can get high up
Thank you so much from Switzerland!!🇨🇭❤️🫵🏼 It is great that my country can enrich the contest
@@peeryoutubewow rly it’s the only one I think is decent
What a voice!
Every year, there's always at least one male vocalist with amazing voice. And this is one of them. Love his voice
People need to stop hating on this on review videos and stuff it’s a really good song and I think could go all the way
If you like the song be confident in that fact. Don't expect other people to feel the same way and don't require their validation for you to feel like your preferences are legitimate. It seems to be a growing problem online that it's not enough for someone to like something, they need everyone else to share their opinion. Diversity in interests for all art forms is what makes art great.
I agree 100%
This was my favourite song out of all of them. Such a great song
Love this song ❤❤❤❤
Good singer. Great voice. Good song and should have been higher placed.
Switzerland always does a lovely ballad. Last year it was Mario Bear with "Boys do Cry" and this year, it's Remo Forrer with "Waterguns". Fricking love Switzerland.
Very underrated. Beautiful song and message.
Switzerland always sends quality entries
Yes I agree, except last year. The lyrics were good, but the song melody itself was sleepy and monotonous🥱😅
Amazing voice 🥰🥰🥰
What a ballad Switzerland. You deserve once again the final. I am amazed how you improving since Luca Hänni. Regards from Italy 🇮🇹 ❤️🩶🇨🇭
Thank you so much from Switzerland!!🇨🇭❤️🫵🏼 It is great that my country can enrich the contest
The first seconds I was like, hmmm sounds like a 1000 other songs, but then this deep voice, his vocals and also the message. Switzerland, Belgium is suporting you this year🇧🇪🙌🏽🇨🇭
This is underrated! All the wars must end now.
It takes a lot for a song to make me cry - Gjon's Tears did it in 2021, and now this one. It's amazing, and my winner - this year is getting so strong...
Emotional, it's giving me "Arcade" vibes.
@@taskview224hell no lmaooooooo
What a song Switzerland! What a powerful message! What a voice! So underrated! Love you, and wish you will be in final🇺🇦💞🇨🇭
I know this song wont be among the top songs tonight because it seems few people like it, but I honestly cant understand that. His voice is amazingly deep and the lyrics bring tears to my eyes. Absolutely contemporary theme too. A song forever on my Spotify playlist I'm sure.
Omg, that VOICE!!! It gets under your skin and caresses you. If he can keep it up live, the performance can be amazing! 🔝 🔝🔝Absolutely LOVE IT. ❤🇪🇸
This song is so underrated, this could be in top 10 for sure with good staging and his voice on top.
The only song that is making me cry. Such a powerful music and lyrics. And also this deep voice of a guy🪐
2:43 BROOOOOOO THIS PART IS SO GOOD?! The way he sings it makes me finally FEEL something for once omg
My personal winner of ESC 2023 ❤️ Such a great Song. 12 Points from Germany 🇩🇪 I love this song. 🍀 Hope you get into the final.
This song broke me. To the heart. Good job.
One of the best songs of this year! Such a deep massage, especially for my country rn💔
Astonished of this song! There is something that touches me deeply, the words, the music, his voice? All of them combined... Good luck from Greece 🇬🇷
The most beautiful ballad this year. The boy has an amazing voice, he should be in the top 3. It pisses me off that such beautiful songs are robbed
heart melting song 🥹
12 points from Israel 🫶🏻🇮🇱
(didnt age well sorry)
This is the third day that I listen to this song.
Compared to other songs, this one has a very strong message with good lyrics.
The composition of this song and musical arrangement are also very pleasant to listen to.
That's why, in my opinion, this song is gonna be in the top 10 songs of Eurovision 2023.
I think ppl will like it but it won't be the first preference of many
if it passes the semi its will have a good chance at top half in my opinion
@@sparkz2337 jury will probably love that song so... You're probably right
Such a beutiful melody with Message. Unfortunately I realized this too late to vote Switzerland. Now playing everyday, thank you for excellent music!
Congratulations to Switzerland 🇨🇭
A very beautiful song to me. With love from Istanbul to the Swiss ❤ 🇹🇷
This song is incredible. I heard this amongst the other songs and it just stood out. Amazing. This is coming straight from the UK!
Switzerland's new national anthem
I have goosebumps EVERYTIME I listen to this song and it's just the studio version. I can already imagine how powerful this will be live 🎆🏆
Should be played for Russians night and day🥶. Good song though but Ukranian song is the best one of these kind.
I have goosebumps every time I listen to this song, too! Amazing voice 😍❤️🇨🇭
This is a top ten worthy song! I am gonna predict that is gonna be populair on the radio. I really like this song!!
Bravo Remo. Bravo la Suisse. Magnifique.
well Switzerland surprises with its songs for the second year already. GREAT choice. the song gives me hard goosebumps. props to Remo. let every line of this song spread around the world and FALL into the hearts of all.
I am from Macedonia and we don't have a entry this year, but I really love this song and I really really hope that swizerland goes to the final🇨🇭🇨🇭 12 point from Macedonia 🇲🇰🇨🇭🇨🇭

The best song this year. Greetings from Germany
His bass register is extremely sexy and gorgeous. Very strong message describing what every “normal” human being feels. I believe this will compete for victory.
This is SONG is profoundly meaningful and the concept is AMAZING. I appreciate everything in this message 😢. Great entry SWITZERLAND 🇨🇭. 🙆🏻♀️🎼🏅✨🎶👏🏽
I only listened to this song once but i already liked it. Definately among all songs this year one of my favourite. 12 points from Ukraine
Якщо чесно, не згодна
Ця пісня це щось в стилі «просто перестати стріляти»
Вона закликає до пацифізму, а не до відстоювання своєї свободи
Але Україна все рівно переможе цю війну🇺🇦
Yeah I think mine too from the Uk it sounds more like our chart that the English one does tbh he has a little bit of a Lewis capaldi vibe a lot of Eurovision is too try hard but this is just effortless I thought Uk last year was decent too and he also just relaxed into his voice
@@mariianosova2032 Повністю згодна. Безумовно, пісня дуже естетична і має ніби добрий посил, але таке враження, що дехто за рік досі не усвідомив проти якого зла ми стоїмо, і що просто скласти зброю тут не спрацює. Це реальна можливість нарешті побороти ворога, який століттями нищив наші родини. А інакше все просто знову повториться, через 20, 30, 50 років, але цей тягар ляже на наших дітей. Швейцарія така Швейцарія...
@@mariianosova2032 згідна з вами! Тупий полпулізм! Хто, якщо не ми будемо виборювати і захищати нашу свободу . А Швейцарія блокувала нам поставки зброї
In the moment we need a song like this. I believe many people will get strength from this song.
I don't care what anyone thinks. this is the best Eurovision song of 2023 and i will continue to stick with it no matter what anyone else thinks. Remo has such and incredible voice, and he sings this song so well. It brought back so many of my memories from when i was so much younger. It can make me feel so emotional as all of those memories begin to flood back to me. This man needs more attention, as he is such an incredible person.
Wow, this is such a beautiful song with powerful message and sang by a very talented singer. I hope it does well in Eurovision! Peace for everyone! 🕊️🕊️
I loved it from the first listening... Good luck Switzerland from Greece. Big heart for you ❤️🇨🇭

Great entry! Much love from Armenia 🇦🇲 to Switzerland 🇨🇭❤️
Qele qele! 🇦🇲
This song deserved a higher position in the final. Well done, Switzerland!
People who don't like it just don't have a heart. Deserves more attention. Love from Albania.
What a voice and what a song. Best song on the moment in ESC. Great job Remo Forrer and Switzerland. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪.

Very true, there are many quirky, shouty, gimmicky songs this year which may get immediate attention but unlikely to be memorable in the long term.
