REACTION to Breskvica "Gnezdo Orlovo" | Eurovision Serbia 2024

[@XYZOxyz]

Gnezdo orlovo is a synonim for Serbia in this song or the home (gnezdo) of Serbs (orlovi). Serbia is known for its eagles and has eagles on its flag.

[@Kristianb06]

SERBS IS EAGLES

[@QQr00z]

its a synonim for KOSOVO, cradle of serbian state!

[@Srpkinja-i3j]

This song is my favorite and I think it should represent us on Eurovision. Go Breskvica! ❤

[@JanBors]

why it is your favorite?

[@MarkoRanelovic-pf6br]

​@@JanBorsBecause it describes the NATO aggressors who killed Serbian children in 1999 and because the Albanians occupied our Kosovo (black birds) are NATO planes or Albanians. This song can be interpreted in two different ways, every Serb will tell you this and that there are instruments in the song that describe the area of ​​Serbia (the Balkans in general)

[@ultimate_president]

My favourite song from my country this year, hope she wins and gets to represent my country with this beautiful song this year on Eurovision 🇷🇸😍

[@JanBors]

hope live it was rly good!

[@malachupava1]

This song can be interpreted differently, NATO bombing of Serbia began in spring ( black birds or airplanes) , another interpratation dictates Albanians uzurpating Serbian Kosovo. It can also symbolize all suffering Serbia went through. Lyrics are metaphorical and perfeclty incorporated because Serbs know what she sings about. I want this song to respresent us no matter the result! SERBIA❤

[@trajkovskivalentina4749]

Upravo tako🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

[@ЈаснаСтанковић]

The message of the song is that good ultimately triumphs over evil

[@andrazlogar861]

What suffering? After starting 4 wars, loosing 4 wars and committing numerous war crimes on the way back to belgrade? You are not the ones to complain about suffering, unless you are complaining about the serbs that caused all this. But they are not represented by the golden eagle, are they?

Jééé česká reakce 🇨🇿 Za mě je ona asi nejlepší interpret ze Srbska, aspoň teda studiové songy, má určitě i dobré nápadité producenty (co song, to jiný žánr - tucky, balady, hip hop, folkově laděné věci)... Live o něco horší, tak uvidíme... Každopádně song hodně kouzelný a strašně moc epic!

[@lady93056]

English lyrics♡ Spring brought the sun Over the hills everything bloomed On the plain an apple sprouts Unripe, it falls from the branch with a strong cry A gray cloud hides the sky, black birds again It thunders, it flashes, hail falls and destroys the eagle's nest Awake morning, night is tired The apple on the grass, sad and gloomy It blooms again, sends out roots And just as it takes a glimpse of the sun, there's a huge shadow A gray cloud hides the sky, black birds again It thunders, it flashes, hail falls and destroys the eagle's nest Dad says to the little eagle, "it will be over, son" The black birds will go away, it will be sunny again My dear, my dear, it will be ѕunny again My dear, my deаr, everything will be over Breskavica

A beautiful Ethno song that talks about the rise and fall through life, in every person about bad weather and period, but in the end the black clouds leave, we stand up stronger, it's clear, there are no black birds, the sky is as clean as a soul❤

[@ЈаснаСтанковић]

Eagle's nest- Spring brought the sun there, behind the hill, everything blossomed on the nice apple plain unripe, fell from the branch with a loud moan Ref. A gray cloud hides the sky black birds again thunder, rain, hail and destroys the eagle's nest Eagle's nest, eagle's nest, eagle's nest Wake up in the morning, the night is tired an apple on the grass, sad, gloomy it blooms again, takes root and, as soon as he took a glimpse of the sun there is a huge shadow Ref. Dad says to the little eagle it will be done, son the black birds will leave it will be clear again My love, my love it will be clear again my dear, my dear everything will be over

[@trlababalan277]

The song is symbolic and full of metaphors. It talks about the Serbian people's longing to be free again. The "black birds" are actually NATO occupation forces stationed in the Serbian southern province of Kosovo and Metohija since 1999. The father eagle tells his little eagle son to be patient and wait until NATO troops leave and then everything "will be over", meaning - Serbs will be able to return to their cradle in Kosovo.

[@JanBors]

so can this be taken also as a provocative song?

[@trlababalan277]

@@JanBors Of course not, all freedom loving people can relate to this song.

[@bojanstefanovic1906]

No. It's not a song about NATO bombs or Kosovo. It's about own fights. Or ok, you can considerate it with war because of our history, and yeah, you can even think about Kosovo, but I don't think it's the main theme.

[@sandrabojovic4817]

​@@JanBorsthat's not what the singer said. She said it's about the battle between good and evil. She is in no way making a statement about Kosovo.

[@sandrabojovic4817]

Mogla bi da prestaneš da daješ proizvoljne interpretacije pesme, posebno ako ti je namera da pevačica bude diskvalifikovana. Debilu.

[@katarinakt9521]

The song uses a lot of ethnic Serbian elements - many of the instruments, like the "gusle" (bagpipe-esque sound), the drums are a "tapan" (traditional serbian drum), the flute sounding one is a "frula" and a few more I can't pick out immediately are used a lot in ethnic music and traditionally Serbian, aswell as the 7/8 rhythmn that can be found all across our ethnic melodies. It's title means "Eagle's nest" in English, as the Eagle is a symbol of our people. It talks about all the times that we have suffered through history. The song doesn't really talk about one specific moment, so I suppose you can apply it to any - be it about the Battle of Kosovo against the Ottomans and Vidovdan; when the Ottomans took over and we were under occupation, the first WW when Serbia lost about a third of it's population (by the way, another song from our selection, "Ramonda" by Teya Dora also has symbolism more specific to that, you should check it out if you haven't already), the genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia in WW2, the NATO-Bombings in the late 1990s, or even the current political state of the country (arguably autocratic regime). The song is about a hope for better times and powering through the bad (paraphrasing rn but a part of the lyrics are basically: "The father tells his son, the little eagle, everything will be alright again. It will all be over soon"). It is particularly empowering (and somewhat patriotic) for us because of all the symbolism that is directly connect to us and Serbian history, but can also be applied to any people that are suffering right now - eg. the Palestinians of Gaza (❤🍉) I have a bit of a soft spot for the song (especially due to the 7/8 rhythmn), because I am a folklor (serbian traditional dances) dancer and really connect to our ethno music.

[@velesserbon6070]

Brother, this is not a new song in Serbia at all, there are many similar songs, it would rather be that Game of Thrones copied Serbian music than the other way around. Our traditional modern music is epic

[@JanBors]

thx for an update. Ofc as a foreigner I dont have such a scope into your country's music. So many thanks for the info :)

Bro, Breskvica means deminituve of peach. Little peach.

[@elendil_lehtinen]

Breskvica is my absolute and uncontested winner of this selection - the ethnic vibes and the folky ambience are absolutely stunning, her voice serves on a different level, she is invoking a spiritual force and totally stands out from the rest. I almost get medieval vibes from this masterpiece! I say it again: WINNER - journey to Malmö ahead!🖤✨️🌙

Kehlsteinhaus (known in English as the Eagle's Nest) was not a bunker, its summer house (huge building) erected atop the summit of the Kehlstein ... and its still exist. p.s. song its about christian Serbs and islamic Albanians realtions on serbian land called Kosovo and Metohia.

[@JanBors]

I somehow was thinking of it, cuz those specific tones

[@darkot7266]

not really, song is about Serbians, Serbia and its troubles, not just about Kosovo, or anything to do with only Albanians, but much more.

[@vulesazvezdare]

​@@darkot7266Yes, but ultimately we know what the black birds stand for on a certain flag.

[@vladimirbelicevic9917]

It is very bad to mention Hitler's bunker in the context of a Serbian song. Serbs have always been victims of Germans and Europe. If the song talks about something, it is the Serbian fate, which is such that they are always attacking and defending themselves. But it should be said that this competition is unpopular in Serbia and is seen as a festival of kitsch and immorality.

[@JanBors]

what problems do you have that you took this from the whole video?

[@nena735]

Perhaps you should ask yourself where your association with Hitler came from?! This man has right and he explained you very well and polite. And try to except someone's else opinion cause we are not all here to praise you

[@JanBors]

@@nena735 I explained in the video - it us the same name as his austrian mansion... it is easy as this

[@Pathfinder179]

Right. What is missing is a culmination before the male voices. Or male voices should be deeper and stronger e.g. more filmic for stronger impression.

so serbia goes on ESC with song about bombing of serbia. nice try.

Why not, Ukraine did the same and won.

[@JanBors]

what? Come on, you cannot be serious with such a claim.

[@bingoE]

@@JanBors black birds = nato planes, eagles represent serbs becouse it is on coat of arms, we call all our national sport teams eagles. eagle nest is house which are bombed .... She didnt confim that but you dont make this kind of song to talk about "tough times in life". Majority of ppl think like this. What is funy is that Albanians think that song is about etnic cleansing of Kosovo during the bombing. This song will bring more problems than joy.

NIJE FOLK NEGO ETNO ETNO MUZIKA

[@JanBors]

ok, this is basicaly the same thing :)

[@konex97]

Personally, I find this song a bit nauseating as a Serbian. The lyrics lack depth and originality, and the instrumental feels like something we've heard countless times before in similar entries. While it's clearly aiming for the nationalist and diaspora vote, I'm not sure it's authentic to the singer's style. The juries might not be impressed, but public support could still land her in first or second place. Regardless of my opinion, I'm glad this song is in the competition. It shows the RTS Eurovision department's commitment to inclusivity and diversity, which makes the festival more vibrant for everyone. Keep up the great work, Jan. :D

[@JanBors]

thx for the context! I am very curious of any result. There are few very good options for an european stage

[@Danijel-hr3pb]

If you don’t understand the meaning doesn’t mean that there isn’t a meaning 🙄

[@JanBors]

that is for sure! I love those additional informations, to add this depth

[@darkot7266]

Wait, you are Serbian? then how does this song lack depth in your eyes? I can understand the review guy, but you should understand the meaning clearly, and there is a big story behand the lyrics. You are clearly just ignorant, or maybe a Serbian that lives his whole life away from Serbia, not knowing much about history.
