I am Italian and I don't know Greek much, but Sofia is one of the best singers ever.

The fact that this masterpiece ended 13th was a fucking disgrace. It should have been top 3

I'm afraid the sax destroyed chances of winning, and it may need two listens. It is one of my absolute favourites from every year I followed the ESC. ❤

They change the saxophone the last time with him because the other get illed . That was horrible. That was the acoustic was so horrible. But in Greece. For us is one of our favorite songs. Still listening. Kisses from Thessaloniki Makedonia Greece

Me encanta esta canción, y me encanta la voz de Sophia, lástima de ese saxo que destruyó en parte una gran actuación. De mis favoritas de Grecia de todos los tiempos. Qué maravilla de voz la de esta mujer

Thank you from Greece. The fact is that the real sax player got ill. Sofia is one of the best here in Greece. And song is still popular in radios or clubs. I like Switzerland Spain and Yugoslavia. But as I remember the contest in 91 we all sit to watch our first Greek victory back then. Disappointment the 13th place.

I can understand the disappointment. It’s such a good song, that deserved a better result. Time has also proved the judges wrong and I think it’s a classic today! Well earned redemption for sweet Sofia! 💖

Completely! I like when you can hear where the song comes from, without knowing the country. Not as a general rule. But I’m always positive towards it. This is undoubtedly very Greek. 😄

This is one of the best Eurovision songs and one of the best vocals at the contest ever. The Saxophone player was a last minute replacement due to illness. It sounds as if the reed in his saxophone was not properly prepared or broke while playing . Reeds can crack due to dryness / heat under TV lights. The saxophone part is written right at the highest point of the range of the instrument and so the loss of control over the instrument sounds so obvious. It is a shame as Sophia Vossou deserved to go on to world stardom after a vocal performance like that!

Sophia happens to be one of my vocal teachers. She has been telling me what happened with the saxophone player: the gentleman who played in the performance just replaced Sophia 's saxophone player who got sick some hours before the performance. Sophia kept herself disciplined and went on singing the unique way she always sings. The song is a love song actually and anixi means spring. I would give it a try to translate the text for you guys, if you like. Lots of love from Germany!❤

The position that song got is the perfect example that Eurovision contest is anything but a song competition. Definitely one of the top ten songs ever played in all of Eurovision years..

My favorite ESC entry ever 😊 I read an interview with the Greek conductor, Haris Andreadis. He wrote the saxophone solo to the song and all week the rehearsals went well. There was a young saxophone player in the orchestra. Then on Saturday to the conductors big surprise there was a new saxophone player. Apparently the first one had demanded a raise and RAI, the Italian broadcaster let him go.

No. He got sick and had to be replaced for health reasons.

As far as i know, the original Saxophone player got ill and could not perform. So they had a last minute replacement who was provided by Italy if i'm not mistaken, unfortunately due to the lack of rehearsals & familiarity with the song, he performed quite poorly.

The original Greek saxo player was ill and didn't travel to Italy, then when the Greek team went to Italy they arranged for an experienced saxo player to fill in for the missing Greek musician. They were rehearsing excellently, everyone was happy with the Italian saxo player, however, that person saw his participation to Eurovision as leverage to ask a raise from RAI (because I think the orchestra was of the national TV of Italy - correct me someone if I am wrong). So, long story short, his blackmail to his employers didn't work and he decided to leave the Greek Eurovision team without a saxo player a couple of days before the event!!! (Talk about a Mafia move there). Anyway, the Italians then scramble to find a replacement sax player and they appoint the old man you see on the video. That guy probably wasn't a good player to begin with and coupled with the lack of proper rehearsals, he completely blundered taking the Greek song down with him.

The Spring (I Anixi) If you come to me and dress like the night, If you come to me and hide inside my body, If you come to me and get tangled in my nets, You need to know this, that you will not get betrayed. (x2) Then, it will be like the coming of Spring, Then, it will be like the skies open up, Then, it will be like the coming of Spring... all of a sudden. (x2) (worst sax solo in the history of music) If we are open to the winds, If we are firm in what we live by, If love is what ties us together, If our bodies are like hanging gardens. Then, it will be like the coming of Spring, Then, it will be like the skies open up, Then, it will be like the coming of Spring... all of a sudden (x3)

Yes actually one musician had a problem and then another problem occured on stage...overall..one beautiful song and voice ended up getting 13th place ..such a pitty..Although Eurovision especially those years was not true to its vote..since North countries voted for them and South were simply outcasted..Watch who won between 1975 and 1999 and you wiil understand

Technically there's 'leaf' in sax (also in clarinet and oboe) player probably didn't keep moist enough resulted that ridiculous sound? On the whole the orchestra was unprofessional, cause there were other songs (Finland) it practically destroyed too and sounded terrible and ackward.

Sure that is not a UK socket there on the wall...just kidding. As for the sax, that is the curse of reed instruments...maybe his reed got dry, but he lost the high notes. And is not hard to loose the high notes and squeak. The same happens with brass instruments, you might be the best and loose notes, unfortunately, sad but true, can happen to everyone!

This is still one of the best song that Eurovision in general have ever produced and the sax guy should go straight to hell after dying just for this performance i am sure God and Satan will completely understand why and agree with each other on this..

Whatever man..they were never married, just dated for some years. He is the creator of this amazing song (lyrics and music) so give him a slack.
