This is one of those rare Eurovision songs that's still so so good even years later - and always will be.

[@bergolli1]

Yes, just like Rosa Linn - Snap

[@peeryoutube]

What I love about this song during the live performance the harmony was even better

[@eddiester]

@@bergolli1 they are uncomparable

[@aivalistavro]

It's a great song.

[@Vesna4U]

Hello from Russia❤ I've been in love with this sad song for many years❤

[@irish9boy]

Seven years on and I still don’t know why this didn’t win

[@freekvonk8586]

Because someone had a beard.

[@c.h.1066]

Me too. But Conchita Wurst was also a very strong competitor that year (even with or without the beard)

[@c.h.1066]

@@freekvonk8586 I guess, that she also would've won without the beard. It was such a strong song.

[@oiaeyu]

Generic country song about love

[@Ro-qk2bn]

Well my country.. Beautiful song that did deserve to win but Conchita was the only possible winner looking back..

[@luvhart]

One of the greatest songs from Eurovision of all time. Eight years later, I still get goosebumps hearing it

[@agnespitka3703]

I do not remember the song that won but I do remember this one. It was so simple and lovely. A joy to listen.

[@spelawi]

the song that won was the bearded lady

[@Dalkia6911]

omg you don't remember Conchita Wurst???

[@stephenguppy3466]

Well this is a brilliant song and any other year it should have, and probably would have, won, but are you serious that you don't remember the winner Conchita with Rise Like A Phoenix? I think Eurovision were intent on making a statement that year and a very important one too, as Conchita was fabulous and very important in many ways but this was, in truth, even better.

[@Veyrah64]

@@stephenguppy3466 she won because of the statement, not because of the performance or song

[@Rainbowcookie03]

@@Veyrah64nah tbh the song rise like a phoenix was fire i love both songs and it deserved the win

[@bendubz9000]

Only ESC song I've ever gone back to listen to after the competition, should have won last year!!!

[@jesusdavidpimientafontalvo8843]

[@WIACZO]

Ben Wright Are you trying to tell me, that you don't listen to EPIC SAX GUY from 2010 Moldova performance?!

[@joernschramm8483]

+Bendubz I agree. So glad it is still played on different radio stations today. So that's what I call a winner!

[@charlotteandersen6203]

Totally agree. it's 2017 and I still listen to it 💜😍

[@arioskarsson9843]

it's been ten years since this great song was in Eurovision, it's a sad fact that since then you can count the good songs on the fingers of one hand.

[@UABlackMamba]

Seit ich den Song gehört habe bekomme ich nicht genug. Ich höre ihn täglich. Er ist eine Droge für die Ohren 😊

Einen besseren Song hat es bei dieser Veranstaltung nie gegeben. Die beiden waren für mich die Sieger.

I like Holland. They should have won this one. Greetings from Spain.

[@tcssy]

i'm dutch... I like this song to!

[@Myythe]

Our dog was suffering from multiple diseases and we knew it was time to put her down. She couldn't stand, breathe and drink anymore. It was raining sheets while we were on our drive way to the veterinarian and suddently this song started to play in the radio.. we hugged and kissed her and she gave every single one of us a last deep look letting us know that it was alright. After she peacefully passed away in our arms it suddenly stopped raining and the sky turned blue again while the sun gleamed through the clouds. Although you're gone your spirit will always remain here with us. Thank you for 16 beautiful years Daisy ♥ We love you!

[@weaksauceremy]

Myythe it’s the best way to go surrounded by the ones you love listening to peaceful music RIP

Our cat... Today... Cancer.... This song :-((((((((((

You are such great souls

[@natv55]

😭😭😭 Our family dog was put down 22 years ago now when I was 18 and thinking about her getting old and infirm and having to leave us still upsets me. She was the best 🐶❤

[@miriamelette]

should have won ! Masterpiece

[@TheLawsoftheUniverse]

My favorite. a good song if you sit in your car, driving and the landscape is passing by.

[@Mikrofontjek]

I pictured exactly the same thing! It's the perfect drive song. Summer, winter. Night or day. It works

[@jonny8408]

This song should have won. Currently number 5 in the charts in the UK!

[@brammetje84]

One of the best eurovision songs ever, just amaaaaaaaaaaazing

[@veravanophoven_]

I agree! I just spent my time. Liking approximatly 720 comments. (Didn't take as long as you'd think🙃.) To get poeple to recieve NOTIFICATIONS to get more views on this video. Thx in advance!😂😂❤

[@BeardedSkull]

THE BEST!

[@Turbot1mo]

They should've won eurovision in my opinion. I really appreciate the point Europe made with Conchita but this song is just better :)

[@Unused_Pineapple]

+afa1515 OMG THANK YOU !!!

[@tenoreyequetis]

***** I don't know the judges, but I doubt she won just because of the beard. If it was as easy as having a beard, there would be a lot more competition.

[@RitaPersyn]

I do agree with you Temo Malarkey , they sing with a lot of emotion .

[@TheKaelyan]

well said

[@katdodaw]

***** A freak? Really? Is Lady Gaga a freak to you, too? Cause she wore a meat dress? Or is she an artist to you who likes to provoke? Do you want to tell us that Conchita Wurst can't sing? That her song was not ESC-worthy? Really? Or are you just feeling better calling other people freaks?

[@virginiaauroavanbodegraven3939]

Iedereen hier loopt te zeiken over dat Nederland had moeten winnen en is commentaar aan het geven op Oostenrijk maar wees eens blij dat wij 2de zijn geworden!! Het is jaren geleden dat Nederland in de top 3 heeft gestaan!!

[@guynys4882]

Fout geredeneerd, Virginia: de beste (in dit geval Nederland, dus) had moeten winnen in 2014. Al de rest is praat voor de vaak.

[@fancoy]

The song is so so so beautiful and moving... and the performance at the semi final was just perfect. All the luck from Spain!

[@The.Machinist]

Best eurovision song of all time

During the recent days this has become my favourite with Norway. And they're great live too! Hopefully they get into the final so I can vote for them! - From Finland

[@helgafortuny1810]

me too! I love Norway and this one is quite good too... it would be better with a change in the middle of the song or an epic ending of the song though... it might be a bit boring

[@foreurovisongcontest]

vote plz thx

[@shelaghmoore445]

Its not boring its subtle If you need melodranatics all the timeyou arent really listening As usual Europe is way behind. This gentle country style is all over American and English radio right now whilst Portugal have only just started playing trance!|

[@Helios89Zg]

Haven't heard all the songs, yet, but this was my favourite from the 1st semi-finals. It has that awesome American country music feel. Gl to The Netherlands! Kisses from Croatia.

[@edikr3727]

Wo bleiben heute die Lieder die für leuchtende Augen sorgen Super Song, findet man Heute nicht mehr

[@Olamellamoalex]

One of the very best songs of the last decade in the festival. I remember how terribly underrated was when it was revealed just because it wasn't the typical eurovision song, but at the end it became a classic. I loved it from the 1s time I listen to it and I still love it, is nice to have a country like netherland sending real music every year to the ESC.

[@PlasticFate]

Takes a little time to realize how good this song really is. If not a winner in the eurovision, it sure will be a winner in the real world after the show.

[@garfield52300]

Very original ! 12 points to the Netherlands from France !

[@crazyshoc6038]

That lady was hitting those notes like her life depends on it. Amazing voice 😊

[@rubensp3232]

I'm spanish and I falled in love with Netherlands listening to this song. After that I visited Amsterdam twice, and I just can say thanks to holland people for being like they are. Amazing country and beutiful people!

[@suleymanalasgarov]

❤❤😢

[@AnnaTheFallMaiden]

definitely one of the better songs this year

[@pawedeka1220]

Extremely touching song. If their masterpiece won, whole Eurovision contest would become much more seroius. It would prove that it is also about great music, not only the show, dancers, gender etc.

[@bowser1166]

I‘m interested now, 7 years later, do you think something has changed after Portugal 2017 made a win for music?

[@anka7985]

Lyrics: Driving in the fast lane Counting mile marker signs The empty seat beside me Keeps you on my mind Livin' in the heartache Was never something I pursued I can't keep on chasing What I can't be for you Ooh skies are black and blue I'm thinking about you Here in the calm after the storm Tears on the highway Water in my eyes This rain ain't gonna change us So what's the use to cry? I could say I'm sorry But I don't wanna lie I just wanna know if staying Is better than goodbye Ooh skies are black and blue I'm thinking about you Here in the calm after the storm Ooh after all that we've been through There ain't nothing new Here in the calm after the storm Maybe I can find you Down this broken line Maybe you can find me Guess we'll know in time Ooh skies are black and blue I'm thinking about you Here in the calm after the storm Ooh after all that we've been through There ain't nothing new Here in the calm after the storm

I can predict this is going to do better than expected and it will become a hit!

[@ankopostema1117]

That would be great for the both of them.. The song already is a hit in Holland, Belgium and Lithuania.. Let's hope Europe appreciates quality music :-)

[@Bax256]

I hope it but we know how it'll end : mainstream and disco music will be the winners because hey, that's how Europe works ;)

[@Eurafrican]

Like a cross between Fleetwood Mac and the Police. This will get the older vote, really talented duo. One of my favourites for 2014.

[@PapaVanTwee5]

Birds followed the same pattern, only darker. Love both songs, but since it isn't something upbeat, I'm guessing it will make it to the finals, and maybe even crack the top 10.

[@foxx9555]

2014 will be remembered as the year the Netherlands was audaciously robbed of its rightful Eurovision win. I'm not even Dutch, I'm from Poland, but I feel a need to say this: This song was a shining pearl in the midst of cheap Euro-kitsch.
