The Common Linnets - Calm After The Storm

[@heide70rose50]

Für mich ist dies der Nummer -Eins-Song beim ESC -Contest gewesen.

[@romanaavena564]

Ja

[@TransatlanticMoments]

Best song of the contest.

[@DernSure]

Kate Japaridze way to be a dick.. :D

[@udocermak9771]

ABSOLUT!!!

[@selenagomezfan8627]

udo cermak what why. Trijntje Oosterhuis if you know that is much better and this too

[@langdale55]

I agree! Lost the contest to a gimmicky song I remember. Loving their music in Scotland.

[@freekade1ka]

Still true

[@sabbbrie]

... nach 10 Jahren, noch immer einer meiner Lieblingssongs !

[@rolandraijmakers]

Today we played this song at my dad’s funeral. Het passed away on April 2nd after a very short period with cancer. Now it is calm for him after his last struggle. The song was played after my final words in the ceremony from me to my dad. I’d already loved this song, Now it has become extra special for me.

[@Dr.Mironova]

So sorry for your loss, I hope you're doing OK. Life goes on no matter what. I lost my parents to cancer, too.

[@michaelkraus9003]

Peace to you and your father!

[@decday7386]

Bless you mate

[@Oldfrisian]

Zo heb ik nooit tegen het lied aangekeken Roland, maar wel mooi om het zo te zien en het heeft mij daarin ook een ander inzicht gegeven..

[@sugoidessho]

This is one of the best and most beautiful songs and harmonies I have ever heard in my entire life, and I'm in my 60s. It's too good for Eurovision. And Ilse is gorgeous.

[@ingobund3596]

SO TRUE ! Much too sentimental for ESC nowadays. I'm in my 50s btw.....

[@omaroff]

I am on my 30s and definitely agree with you!

[@omaroff]

They might not win the Eurovision but definitely won our hearts. We can barely remember the winner and his song on that exact year but clearly remember and constantly listen to this song. Masterpiece.

[@Waldorfdarling]

This is one of the very few times I actually like a Eurovision song.

[@gentlebabarian]

To bad they lost tough. Ilse is mijn eerste

This song is too good for Eurovision.I am a songwriter and liricallly and musically speaking this song is the best.It is not the usual Eurovision house pop,it is written very well and it has a wonderful message.The only thing that keeps this song away from winning is the popular opinion.Many People may not like this song because it is simply not their style.but except that,this song is the winner.Well,at least for me.I wish the Common Liners the best of luck!

[@armarq8091]

3 chords..

[@MalphasMikaelson]

I did like it and I'm always very critical of the Netherlands and their Eurovision songs but the instrumental is definitely really basic.

[@robrichardson1284]

@@MalphasMikaelson for the message of this song.. not sure you want to take away from it with a big instrumental 🤔

[@andreaswidl3175]

Sie sind der wahre Gewinner

[@poet1972]

This song is bigger than the contest itself. When all the other tracks faded away - this will last forever.

[@sirtsupirtsu]

Has this really been 8 years? I come back to listen this often. It has a special place in my heart. You cannot put your finger on it what makes this song so special. But you recognize this. NL often brings the best songs to Eurovision. Greetings from Estonia!

[@irishrose90]

I love this song. It's like a song from the time when country music was good. Doesn't sound like a Eurovision song at all, it's awesome :D

[@robitobiful]

Is it really so important to win the esc? Or is it more important to win the hearts of us, who are listening to this powefull song?

[@yanaivanova9356]

Still one of my favourite songs years back !

[@redmotorola]

best Eurovision song ever!!!

[@tobi-toaster480]

This is the 3rd best song, if you think of Sergey Lazarev with "You are the only one" and KEIINO with "Spirit in the sky", but this is by far the best song in 2014 Eurovision 👍

[@ritarosseel2613]

Right ! Best ever die Holland en

[@tieukhavu8832]

Sadly, this didn't won the contest.

[@missvogelsang]

I think this song should win, but sometimes the results aren't always what the public really wants. I'm from the UK and cannot wait for them to release an album!! Eargasm or what! (:

[@marcopater1666]

you can pre-order their album on iTunes i think, the song is a winner on saturday :)

[@kiwiramjet5625]

I bought their album on iTunes - EVERY single song is awesome! A real mixture of folk pop and country, but all dripping with soulful melody. It's like a tribute to Fleetwood Mac, The Civil Wars, even Johnny Cash and Tom Petty! Whether these guys win Eurovision or not, they're going to take the US by storm - they're going to love them!

[@youngnan121]

Rodger van Raalte you now the woman, Ilse, had tried that already but to no succes

[@dannybarendrecht3434]

steve G Forgot to mention that Waylon already has a contract with Motown.Would be great if this storm hits the states.

[@auksedubauskiene]

Still in my playlist, so wonderful song...

[@LeaveBritneyalone580]

I didn't cared for this song back in the days,but I love it now. Thankfully my taste in music became better through the years

[@maiterincon15]

Lyrics: Driving in a 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 I 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 There ain't nothing new Here in the calm after the storm

[@desireet.9637]

Beautiful song.... They should have won ESF contest.... period..

[@desireet.9637]

I am almost sure that Conchita (Austria) won, because of a lot of people vote to make a political statement against countries who are against the gay community. When those votes are not counting for this contest, then problably Netherlands Common Linnets won ESF contest 2014.

[@SawomirSzczesny]

Desiree Thenu Indeed. I'm sick of that all medial crap about gay rights and equality... People are writing (on official Conchita FB page) that She looks beautiful,awesome etc... Since when a dude in a dress with beard is a definition of beauty?! I was raised to be tolerant, and I'm okay with gay people. But I'm starting to feel like I'm in minority cause I'm straight... This song should definitely won! Greetings from Poland ;)

[@TheOldTopleaf]

Als liefhebber van countrymuziek als o.a. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard et cetera, ben ik dol op dit nummer, en ook duidelijk één van de weinigen in ons land. Het is een heerlijk kalmerend nummer, verfrissend tussen de rotzooi op de radio en die vele 13-in-een-dozijn-nummers op het Songfestival (met een handvol uitzonderingen). Dit is echt de eerste keer dat ik compleet achter ons land sta in het Songfestival. Zonder enige nationalistische bedoelingen kan ik eerlijk zeggen dat dit mijn winnaar is van het Songfestival dit jaar, maar het publiek zal vast en zeker gaan voor de nummers die niks speciaals zijn. Dit is "saai", niet "spectaculair" . Dit is muziek met gevoel, muziek met waarheid. Dat is country.

[@YoKlaassie]

deuntje blijft hangen...fijn om naar te luisteren. just pure music

Ik vind het een mooi en kansrijk lied. Complimenten Ilse, Waylon en J.B.!

[@stuartrusso6948]

As a UK view of the Eurovision Contest I have to say that when this song came on I wanted it to win straight away, despite not having heard the entry from my own country. It should have had twice the points of any other song on the night. Great classy song. Love it!!

[@Janoostrom]

Very beautiful song of Ilse and Waylon....maybe to beautiful for the Eurovision Song Contest

[@1992girlll]

I am still proud of my favorite singer Waylon. He the best male solo singer of our country. Selling out ahoy (big stadium) two times. Sold out his tour in a week time. Four good selling solo albums. Judge in the voice of holland and he is coach in a new Dutch show called it takes two. Everybody who is here and see the singer. You should check out Waylon RTL Late Night, Waylon it takes two, Waylon wicked way, Waylon the escapist. He is defenitly the biggest Dutch singer right now!!!!!!!

[@finnlevi6011]

This was on the radio and TV eight years ago, but I never payed much attention nor did I know the title or artist. Now I found it by accident, and as the chorus started playing, I started to cry because it's taking me back to memories I didn't even know I had. Shoutout to my fifteen year old self, when everything was good, when the world was about secretly looking at your first crush, sharing a sandwich with your best friend and writing short stories about how you want your future to be. My life is nothing like I imagined it to be back then, but this song allows me to connect with a time long gone, and I am grateful.

[@MareikeKambach]

I like your story. And we share the experience of starting to cry because some tunes and voices touch something deep inside our soul or heart that we had kept as a secret even unknown to ourselves.
