Tih deževen dan - Slovenia 1993 - Eurovision songs with live orchestra

[@RozuHanabiraProjectx]

the fact that this beautiful song got 23rd will always be horrible to me. one of the most underrated ESC songs of all time. such beautiful lyrics and composition

[@fyr_og_flamme_vasil]

22nd actually.

1993 was such an outstanding year with many classics and great songs. Bot agreed. This deserved better.

[@Botafogoplayground]

One of the best entries of 1993.

[@manspetter9921]

I get why this entry always gets overlooked, even though the performance could easily be seen as a standout. There was, as many of you know, a lot of turmoil in the other two debuting countries that year, Bosnia and Croatia. Slovenia's colourful entry heavily contrasted the war-related submissions of the fellow Yugoslav republics, and I can't blame anyone for putting all the attention on Bosnia, because their entry was very clearly a reflection of the horrid situation in that country and the desperation of its citizens. That's an obvious reason why this entry is mostly forgotten or left out of Eurovision compilations. What I love about this entry and this edition is what I love about Eurovision. 1993 had great ballads, great uptempo songs, and entries like this. They dressed in arguably the most colourful attire of 1990s Eurovision. A scruffy, guitar-playing Slovenian man is having the time of his life. Extensive hip shaking, awkward face shots, _those_ backing vocalists, all of it broadcast live in front of at least 300 million people. You could say that this performance was peak Eurovision. Nevertheless, I think this was a great debut, which, alongside shared placeholders Denmark, shouldn't have led to relegation. Even more so considering that this was an unknown band (hence their name, X means unknown in math) which barely even made it to Slovenia's national selection, but still managed to win the pre-selection, as well as the Eastern European qualification round which determined the countries that were allowed to enter the 1993 contest. Shoutout to Jože Privšek, the first conductor of both Yugoslavia and Slovenia in Eurovision, who provided an excellent arrangement for this song.

The lyrics are also so beautiful...Im Slovenian and gor me personal this is the best entry that our country sent to competition. Such a shame it got last place...😢

[@buster3577]

This was one of the best Eurovision entries ever, so melodic and beautiful string and horn arrangements. Great lead vocals and catchy back-up harmonies. Of all the years, this was my most surprising and disappointing result.

[@nicolaus1895]

Everything about this is awesome! Great melody, wonderful orchestration and beautiful vocal arrangement. Such an underrated entry

[@steinarmogen3166]

Tih dezeven dan and Sebi are the best! 1995 and 2012 the worst. 2010 so underrated! Charming song

[@xxxxxxxx8634]

1995 and 2012 bad?!

[@steinarmogen3166]

@@xxxxxxxx8634 To me those songs are very typical pompous ballads for ESC which we hear every year. Very unoriginal, dated and boring. I don't like the voice of Darja either. Those kind of pompous ballads are what I like the least in ESC, when it comes to music styles. Better with something fresh and original

[@beautyelisa688]

Aww the fisrt ever entry!

[@Manne18]

Lovely❤

[@Gera1713]

If today's artistes could see some of these songs they might learn something It's meant to be a SONG contest to symbolize harmony between European nations. It's not a glam fest,over hyped,overproduced acrobatic circus.....but sadly that is what it has become. Not to mention that various causes have captured it to use as a platform for politics and social reform. There are hundreds of other arenas in which to do that. Leave Eurovision alone and let's get back to the real spirit of what should be the song contest.

[@jlhabitan50]

Germany 1979 though.

[@jayamber4448]

Eurovision was created in the aftermath of the Second World War. It is an inherently geopolitical contest.

[@chris_the_heartbeat_lover.1994]

Since it is something you both listen and watch, what you watch also matters besides a good voice. That comment is too dramatic

[@thomasyogayoiii3759]

Déjà vu aux sf et tjrs un truc de dieux

[@josemontalban9217]

For me he best songs in 1993 were The Netherlands and Slovenia. 12 points from Spain. Shame on you Europe!

Luškana pesmica, s krasnim inštrumentalnim delom, jo tudi danes še kar poznamo!

[@abfab849]

Guitar, drums and keyborads as usual were on tape Only strings and trumpets play live

[@escLIVEmusic1]

This is a very extensive orchestral arrangement. There are strings, trumpets, trombones, french horns and woods winds instruments including flute. It's a wonderful arrengement if you ask me, which shows us what kind of flavours the live orchestra can add to a pop song. You are correct that the rythmic part were on the tape for this particular song, but it's certainly no common rule as you seem to claim. For the 1993 edition the songs from Cyprus, Norway, Spain, Finland, Ireland, France, Sweden, Austria, Malta, Switzerland and Denmark used the rythm players of the RTE orchestra (which means no tape at all)

[@spannamatronic]

@@escLIVEmusic1 I agree, this song is an excellent example of how to use an orchestra and backing track together. Artists have the confidence that the rhythm section will be exactly as they know it, and the orchestra can enhance the rest.
