When I first watched Shrek as a 5 years old, a tune Princess Fiona sung in the night solemnly was planted in my brain. The tune was so beautiful and it had stuck with me after all these years. I've very very seldom rewatched Shrek, but I still remember it clearly. It took me 2 seconds in that '1950-2019 all eurovision winners' video to recognise the original song of that tune. Was too good for 5-year-old me, still too good for 24-year-old me.

[@azrilazami4087]

the feelings of finally found the song title is the best feeling ever! the melody we heard during younger days that is so captivating but too bad it just stuck in our mind without any clue how to find them.. happens to me with "song from a secret garden".. i am so lucky youtube algorithm brought me to that song.. it feels like you found your long lost treasure.. have a nice day ☺️

[@FranciscoGonzalez-oo7fc]

You know... I searched for 'fairytale' on KZbin thinking of Shrek's fairytale but I found Rybak's fairytale; I liked it so much that I listened to several performances and in one of them I heard what I thought was Shrek's fairytale, and I said oh what a cool reference, since both songs are named the same. Then in the comments they said it was this song and he played that fragment because they're both Norwegian I think. Anyway, this song is very beautiful, thank god I found it.

That was when countries still send their best because it was a prestige competition. That was until it was usurp by EU-project and corrupted to glorify the potential new EU member-states, trying to give the winning positions to countries not based on merits or quality of performance, but because EU politicians needed a favorable sentiment on countries they were and wanted to add to the EU. Now even my country sends basically vague nobodies and I haven't seen a Eurovision since maybe early 2000's coz I stopped caring when politics got involved and the entire festival corrupted.

The singer in this is only put in to open and close for the actual performer, which is the violinist. It's a bit of a cheat, a very transparent veil.

so: is english lyrics or norwegian lyrics only 25 words? i can't find Norwegian lyrics from google

[@haugtussa2290]

Lyrics in Norwegian and English, only 24 words in Norwegian; La dagen få sin hvile nå (Let the day get its rest now) Og natten vil våke for den (And the night will guard in its place) Nocturne Nocturne. Selv mørket må en gang forgå (Even the darkness must disappear sometime) Så natten kan føde en dag (So the night can give birth to a day)

😳 How can you NOT like this ? This is like fairytale music 🌱🌾🦋

[@michaelsinclair2731]

The secret ingredient to winning was- add an Irish Musician! Finnoula Sherry. A beautiful song 🎵 Im so glad it won when it did as unfortunately I think this would probably be overlooked now

[@FannomacritaireSuomi]

People say Waterloo is the best ESC song ever. They've clearly never heard Nocturne.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

I don't agree that this is better. But Waterloo, meh, good song but Abba has greater. Also a couple of better Eurowinners such as Fairytale, Euphoria, You are the one

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

@Ludovic Ouimet I dont like hardrock so not a fan of your third pick but I get it. I don't even know which song the first lne is and I'm too lazy to search it up. But Satellite? Are ya kidding me? There have been plenty of bad and undeserving winners, but Satellite was just waaay overrated and pretty shit in general. Most people would say that the 2nd song from Manga should have won and I agree, but imo Satellite shouldn't even have came top 3. Even though most of the other songs were bad too that year.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

​@Ludovic Ouimet ​ okay.. that's fine. I do understand different opinions. But Satellite was just awful. Except the 1979 version

[@joannaspeakman9724]

I absolutely love ABBA, but my favourite Eurovision song is nocturne. I like to listen to most types of music and this song is an absolute masterpiece.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

@@joannaspeakman9724 Waterloo isn't even one of their good songs. It's catchy and tuneful, but simple and short/repetetive.

[@luxyaltz219]

Some songs have the power to overwhelm you with emotion , love and bring a tear to your eyes , not so much sadness but beauty , this is a deserved winner

The music is a mixture of Irish celtic and Nordic music.

[@mrnobody4147]

yes i agree.also greeces that year -pia prosefxi- was so underrated cause it was saying a simple but yet powerfull political meaning.but it was not intend to be political but at the end the words showing that so they stigmatise it.about fyrom stealing greek history...magical songs both

[@Dragan5899]

Once upon a time, the Eurovision Song Contest was a manifestation of MUSIC, and now it is a CIRCUS OF TASTE:

[@3HOCFRESKO]

Totally agree with this! I think that the circus began it manifestation from 2014 onwards! It's a shame that '80s,'90 and '00s true artists will start to be forgotten as the time passes by!

[@daliamasari4040]

music evolves, if you look at all eurovsion winners from the 50s, you'll notice they change over time, it's normal. doesn't mean the songs today are not good

[@ooooneeee]

Ok, Boomer.

I call this "God's music". When I meet him I will dedicate this song to him for having walked with me all these years. If more people listened to music like this, the world would be a much better place with less evil.
