Totally, Iggy3, it’s worth watching again and again to appreciate the pacing, the vocal control & the build up of emotion. It’s perfect, a wonderful song, wonderfully sung.
Best song ever to win the Eurovision, sung by the best singer ever to win it. This was the Euro vision at its very best, it went straight down into the dumps after this.
No autotune, just pure talent..they just let the singer do her job..and wow....she nailed every one of those high notes. Of course, that was back in the day when it was a SONG contest....makes me right proud every time I hear this ;-)
Since i discovered im eligible for an Irish passport (grandfather from Eniskillen) i cant stop listening to Irish Eurovision songs! Tremendous tune and brilliantly sung Niamh!
@@ventisette. Yeah, but there are really good songs equally. I watch eurovision every year because of songs, don't care really much about winners. Real winners are in our minds and memories
Without doubt, was THE BEST SONG and THE BEST PERFORMANCE. WONDERFUL WINNER and ONE OF THE BEST SONG EVER IN EUROVISION. My 12 from Spain. 10 to Netherlands. 8 to Portugal. 7 to Malta. 6 Italy. 5 Greece. 4 Cyprus. 3 Germany. 2 Finland. 1 Bosnia Herzegovina.
Certainly. This is quickly becoming my favourite Irish entry of the 90s. While I initially despised this entry, I now believe this was a deserved winner. Also this means that to my taste, 1993 had the correct songs in the top 3 (albeit in the wrong order; my order is 🥉🇮🇪, 🥈🇬🇧, 🥇🇨🇭)
Perhaps the greatest winning moment in Eurovision history. With 11 points between Ireland & the UK & Malta's 12 remaining, that "and finally... IRELAND" call, and the entire of Ireland jumping & screaming in joy. Amazing moment!!
Absolute goosebumps listening to Niamh and her backing singers are excellent. I remember watching it live from Millstreet. Loved it then as much as I do now. Class performance 👏👏
Great song and great voice. In 1993 I was only 20. Unemployment was a fact of life. I did a Fas construction course in Bishopstown Cork after 2yrs in limerick Rtc college. I had a good 👍 time in Cork going to the pubs and nightclubs. 😅😊 A pint in a pub in 1993 was around 2 pounds and 20 pence.You went out once a week.Thats all you could afford back then. Its the same today in 2024.
I've discovered this song just two days ago and I just can't stop listening, watching, singing or at least thinking about it! It's both musically perfect and catchy, Niamh is so naturally beautiful, her singing is explosive, yet so calm and efortless. I'm in love with this song and Niamh.
I’m an avid fan of Eurovision and this IMHO is the best winning song of them all. Absolutely stunning melody and beautifully sung. It has a very natural sound of its own and quite different from most Eurovision songs. Utterly beautiful.
Why do I find myself coming back to this song after..25 years! She's sublime. And now she looks like a predecessor of Adele from a less connected decade.
@@mercurytaylormaydeacon9980 yet they were our highest placing in ages. Which shows how bad esc has become. No respect for our acts in 2014 or 2015 but 8th for high haired muppets
It was more about the fact they almost bankrupt the broadcaster. They were a victim of their own success and it cost a fortune to stage. So they put through terrible entries.... might win again soon though.
Great song from the days when Ireland could do no wrong in Eurovision ...... Niamh's a top singer, with a stunning voice ..... Jimmy Walsh wrote this beautiful ballad, i could just listen to it forever.
Showing no emotion, my feelings locked inside I made myself an island, trying to take my heart and hide I built a wall around me, afraid of letting go But suddenly an open door I never saw before In your eyes I see the light leading me home again It's heaven in your arms, my love My heart is in your hands In you eyes, seems so right I see forever in your smile This woman is a child again (In your eyes) Love's been building bridges between your heart and mine I'm safe here on my island, but I'm out on the edge this time I built a wall around me, thought I'd save myself the pain Your touch swept me away, now I'll never play it safe again In your eyes I see the light leading me home again It's heaven in your arms, my love My heart is in your hands In you eyes, seems so right I see forever in your smile This woman is a child again I've never been this close How do I know love will survive? I'm walking a tightrope Here, in your arms, I'm alive In your eyes, I see the light I see forever in your smile This woman is a child again Oh... in your eyes (I see the light leading me home again) I see the light, I see the light (It's heaven in your arms, my love) (My heart is in your hands) Whoa... (In you eyes, feels so right) I see forever in your smile This woman is a child again When I look in your eyes
just looking at stuff that brings back memories, I met my husband in the pub the night this was on, he was just diagnosed with guess what.....waiting for the kids to visit to break the news to them
i can agree same with Phil i really do think that one is the second best song not cause im from the netherlands trying to support my country just cause i like the song and the performance was just to laugh lmao
Diggi loo diggy Ley is definitely not one of the best eurovison songs ever. The most memorable ones in my opinion are... Niamh Kavanagh, teach in, brotherhood of man, ABBA, sandie Shaw, Johnny Logan, lena and Olsen brothers... Some great songs that didn't win are cliff Richard (robbed) new seekers (robbed) Liam Reilly (robbed) and Jalisse (robbed).
Hands down the single most difficult vocal performance ever on Eurovision and sung to absolute heavenly perfection by an amazing artist! Still a favourite 30 years on! Timeless
I can relate to this song very much, it's very beautiful, sentimental and melancholic at the same time...I was also born in 1993, so it holds a special place in my heart..Love from Cyprus ❤
@@frankly-he1kf No please, dont dig up ABBA again. Im Swedish but i throw up when i hear about ABBA. By the way; Loreen is the best ESC song of all time.
This song was brilliant, just brilliant. Apart from Niamh's voice, the concluding three chords at the end just killed it. This is my all time favorite Eurovision song, with the Luxemburg song from 1983 just behind it.
stevebbuk Actually I think she had a chance of winning in 2010. The song was good, her voice was too. But in all honesty, Niamh's figure was no where close to 1993's and I think she lost points for it.
Ireland doesn’t often get much credit for our winners, but this is a truly phenomenal song and undoubtedly one of our best

Best Eurovision song ever
She controls her voice so incredibly. It's fascinating to watch and listen to her
The voice control and the ease of singing is so great here. She has no strong theatrics - she just stands there and sings. The song speaks for itself.
Totally, Iggy3, it’s worth watching again and again to appreciate the pacing, the vocal control & the build up of emotion. It’s perfect, a wonderful song, wonderfully sung.

@@Million51169 lol yeah. Though i'm not a big fan anymore. It was more of a teenage years band. I just didn't get around to change profile pic.
Probably one of the best ballads ever written. And arguably the most worthy winner. I can't stop listening to this captivating song.
So true.
Absolutely my favourite Eurovision song
It is an extraordinary, emotional song and beautifully sung
@@a91170Let's not forget that the winner after her was also good
written by Jimmy Walsh from Dublin , living and entertaining in New York for many years .Brilliant siong
She sang the hell out of this song!
Effortlessly
She sure did!
And did not really sing before that, she worked in a bank no one had knew her before that song. and she went back to the bank job ,
The most deserving of all the 90s Irish winners, IMO. It grows on you.
This and the 92 win were exceptionally good...
It definitely grew on me
Best song ever to win the Eurovision, sung by the best singer ever to win it. This was the Euro vision at its very best, it went straight down into the dumps after this.
One of the very best ESC songs. Niamh's singing is incredible - powerful, controlled, emotional. So glad it won.
What a beautiful lady Niamh Kavanagh really is and won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993
Her voice is so incredibly powerful and confident, and yet she makes it look effortless. Truly a breathtaking performance.
No autotune, just pure talent..they just let the singer do her job..and wow....she nailed every one of those high notes. Of course, that was back in the day when it was a SONG contest....makes me right proud every time I hear this ;-)
considering this isn’t the music i’m into i’m absolutely obsessed with this song and i honestly don’t know why
me too
Because the lyrics connect with your life or its just bloody brilliant
Same here !! Definitely not my style normally. Just heard it on Ray D’Arcy a few minutes ago and I have no idea why I’m smitten by it.
Because it's such a beautiful beautiful song.
I heard it on the night and was entranced
I am still in love with this masterpiece and it makes me so proud of being Irish and of republic of Ireland one of the best songs ever
Don't forget about Northern Ireland on the island of Ireland as well. 🇮🇪 ☘

one of my all time favourites of ESC. her voice is amazing. no fuzz, no dancers, jumping around, light show, fire etc. just pure talent. what a voice.

By far the most underrated winner of Eurovision
How can it be underrated when she won it?
@@irishking1414 it’s not as appreciated as other winners

Because it takes two minutes to build into something great
Absolute goosebumps listening to Niamh and her backing singers are excellent. I remember watching it live from Millstreet. Loved it then as much as I do now. Class performance 👏👏
I said I was only going to listen to about 10 seconds of this...
Ended up listening to pretty much the whole thing... stunning... and mesmerizing...
I love 2:45 ,when she takes a moment to prepare before singing the high note
Singing like that is like a sport
Obsessed with this song, was so proud to be irish that night.😊

One of the very best, this one!

Showing no emotion, my feelings locked inside
I made myself an island, trying to take my heart and hide
I built a wall around me, afraid of letting go
But suddenly an open door I never saw before
In your eyes
I see the light leading me home again
It's heaven in your arms, my love
My heart is in your hands
In you eyes, seems so right
I see forever in your smile
This woman is a child again
(In your eyes)
Love's been building bridges between your heart and mine
I'm safe here on my island, but I'm out on the edge this time
I built a wall around me, thought I'd save myself the pain
Your touch swept me away, now I'll never play it safe again
In your eyes
I see the light leading me home again
It's heaven in your arms, my love
My heart is in your hands
In you eyes, seems so right
I see forever in your smile
This woman is a child again
I've never been this close
How do I know love will survive?
I'm walking a tightrope
Here, in your arms, I'm alive
In your eyes, I see the light
I see forever in your smile
This woman is a child again
Oh... in your eyes

I see the light, I see the light
(It's heaven in your arms, my love)
