Oh... my god. Why sweden wins with songs a-la-"take me to you heaven" and failes with really perfect ones like this one or "When Spirits a calling my name".
Yes, I agree. In general, I like the fact that roughly between '79-'83 (their '82 entry notwithstanding) that the Swedes tried their hand at really modern, FM-rock sounding stuff, far from their usual Abba formula - achieving two great entries in this and Carola (yes, Carola). And then the Herreys came along and ruined that good run for them...
Denna låt har Björn utvecklat nu! Denna version är inte optimal. Jag såg 15 förestälnningar i eriksbergshallen i göteborg och alla var bättre än denna.!
It's too slow - the MF one is faster, has more pace. Bjorn also goes sharp on some of the notes here and his performance is all over the place, he's lost without a mic stand. Plus his hair and outfit look far worse than MF.
Has he forgotten the lyrics as in 1978???

Bjorn was so HOT back then, just gorgeous, his english was not very good, but man could he sing!

This song doesn't do much for me; but then 1981 was a strong year so it doesn't rank anywhere near my favourites, while indeed a good song.

Both 1978 and 1981 LIVE performances was for SURE best at MF!!!
In 1978 the MF LIVE version was fantastic and PERFECT, but the ESC version was out of concentration because he did not remember the words!
But this 1981 ESC live version is not bad, just not as good as the MF version.

Hate this song the first time I heard it, and now...JUST LOVE IT!!! I remember that my country,France, gave SWEDEN 12points....
gledib 4 years ago
I think the French jury later gave 12 points to everybody who has sung in the 1978 contest in Paris.
