So, I'll break this down for anyone "There's a ghost in my body and he is a lyricist" "Oh Mia Padre, There's a ghost in my body" They are taking a shot at Ghostwriters in the industry. Alot of artist's today will use Ghostwriters who will produce or write music and get a big fraction whilst the artist gets almost nothing for performing the song. They also use their song as a way to demonstrate this. In today's industry, you could make the most meaningful song but cover it with Electro or dance and bam... It's a worldwide hit and people miss the actual meaning. So, they did the same by making this fun, quirky pop track that you miss the actual meaning behind the song. "What's your IPI? Where's the A&R? Girl, call Universal, you're about to be a star" IPI is a digital barcode that a A&R team recieve when content is made. It determines how much royalty the Producer, Writer, Artist and Label will receive. In most cases, again, the producer and label receive the most whilst the songwriter and artist receive hardly anything. They take a shot at Universal Music group as they are known to take MASSIVE chunks from artists and also not give their artist's any creative control over their music or sound. It's sarcasm. You'll become a star and be rich, but it'll come at a price, basically! You'll have no freedom to write your own songs but you'll be rich. It's a very clever lyric. "Zero dot zero zero three Give me two years, and your dinner will be free" Most streaming sites will pay a artist 0.003 in revenue every stream. This lyric actually hits so hard. All they could afford is cheap champagne and after two years, they'd finally make a small profit. Unless you're a massive artist pulling in millions of plays each month, you will hardly see a profit from your song and will have to wait a few years before you can just about afford a meal. It's a strong message to display just how much the industry and streaming sites do not value the work or content of hard working artists. This is why she then says "At least it pays to be funny". Comedians make more money than hard working songwriters and artists!! Let that sink in. In the second half of the video, they dress up as men delivering the song to a board of record executives. This is because men's work is often listened to more and released whilst women's hard work goes unnoticed or unfavoured. You then see them get arrested for impersonation and taken to prison. This is because they are trying to display the message, it would be so much easier to be a man in the industry than be a woman. VERY CLEVER what they did there. This song is ART. It's not even a song at this point. It deserves recognition for how amazing it is. It's such a fun, quirky song with such a deep and powerful message. I hope Europe research it because I NEED Them to understand. It's not a joke entry and this deserves a final place 😭 I hope this helps to anyone reading and you can now fully appreciate this masterpiece even more!!! Lots of love x
@@itsjxomusicthis is a suuure qualifier. I mean unless it goes terribly wrong on stage, but the same goes for all the songs. For me it’s on 2 place and I have seen a lot of lists that ranks it high as well.
It's actually giving me a little bit of In Corpore Sano as a banger. It's my number 2 already, i'm just scared about the staging and the live performance. I hope they'll slay.
Cool vocals and beat, silly lyrics due to too many ideas thrown in (the strongest part is the music industry critique, the EAP thing is just off to me)
The song is about the music industry, so it mentions ghostwriters and artists being underpaid (0.003 per streaming). EAP struggled to live off writing alone and died in poverty. So that's the link, I suppose.
@@anapaulacameron2438 my point exactly! We're supposed to believe it makes sense to connect the music industry and EAP. You've gotta admit, it's quite the stretch. But nowadays we're supposed to believe what the musicians say the lyrics are about. But after reading all the ESC 2023 lyrics I can honestly say that half of them are disjointed superficial fluff. Many could have been very punchy and meaningful, wouldn't have taken much time to fix them up a bit. But it is what it is. Well, I tried to accept the supposed EAP connection to the rest of the song, read the lyrics again, and...NOPE... it's still there just as a catchy refrain and a eyebrow-raising title. Shame, really. And a bit sad. But definitely not nearly as clever as some think it is.
Great reaction. Greetings from Austria.
So, I'll break this down for anyone

This is the best breakdown of the lyrics & video that I have read so far.
Thank you for that!
@@KatsuyosDimension No problem at all

This is why I love Eurovision. Thank you Austria. 12 points from Ireland

They're in semi 2. They'll def qualify
This and Subwoolfer are both great. Cha Cha Cha has a good performance but there's less to the music and I don't think it will last as much.
Also, Greetings from Austria. :)
why does no one ever include the link to the artist/video in the video description?
you look like you were about to cry 😃
you need to find out how to make picture of music video in your reaction!
