    Still listening to this in 2024. Wonderful song. My favourite in 1990 and still believe it should've won.

    This song should have won. It had everything. Tune. Lyrics. Politics. Cheese. What more could it have had?

      What?!? I didn't know that watching random old ESC videos and presumed this was a winner or at least a high placer. This is definitely better than some winners imo.

    I think Ketil & his group were just unlucky with this one. There were other songs with references to the wall coming down at this contest and songs about gathering people together. It is well performed and the chorus sticks in the mind , but it was treated as just one more song on a similar theme. Ketil is a talented performer/ composer.

    Odd that they went for the onstage rhythm section when the orchestra is actually doing this entirely live (and this is probably their best performance of the night too).

    • @escLIVEmusic1
      @escLIVEmusic1  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah, it's simply because Ketil wanted to have his band with him on stage.

    Lyrics:
    En heil verden va' te' stede
    Førr å dele det som skjedde i høst
    Vi så menneska gråte av glede
    Og ei grense åpne mot øst
    Ingen kunne la vær alle sammen va' der
    Og fick se Brandenburger Tor
    Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
    Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
    Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
    Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
    Ja vi ser Brandenburger Tor
    Et heilt folk ville leve
    Og førtelle om sin rike kultur
    Vi så sannheta åpent på TV
    Fra en bydel gjemt bak en mur
    Byen løfta sitt slør allting ser ut som før
    Førr oss på Brandenburger Tor
    Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
    Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
    Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
    Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
    Etter mange lange år
    En ny vår førr Brandenburger Tor
    Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
    Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
    Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
    Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
    Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
    Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
    Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
    Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
    Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
    Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
    Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
    Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
    Ja vi ser Brandenburger Tor

    Some last placers make sense, some make less sense, and some are just entirely incorrect.
    This falls in the latter category.

      It was aimed to be positive. Very few people in the early 90s were negative to the Berlin wall being destroyed. It was an age of optimism and this song captures this in a beautiful way. Even the russians were fed up of communism and wanted capitalism.

    • @wessexfox5197
      @wessexfox5197 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      practically all the songs from 1990 were political, Ireland, UK, Germany etc all sent songs with political messages and the winning song was literally a pro-EEC fanfare piece.
