    Song from back when there was good songs in ESC - the days seem to be over for good.

    Liam deserved far more respect than he was ever given. Even on an out of tune piano he performed very well.
    A better song than many of Ireland's winning songs. RIP Liam Reilly.

      Maybe the best song they have had ever. My favourite is from 1972, mainly because it's not in English, but this is my favourite song when it comes to the song itself.

    I love the nostalgic feel of Somewhere in Europe! It wouldn't have made a better winner than Insieme, but it's still quite down to earth and charming.

      Liams song almost certainly WOULD have won in any other year , but, as you rightly say, the italian entry was excellent, and deserved to win.

      I think it could easily have won both in 1989 and 1991, but Ireland got their jackpot in form of 4 victories in 5 years. In fact their 90s statistics is highly unbeatable with 4 victories and 2 2nds. I don't think we will see something like this from one country ever again.

    Somewhere in Europe, more exactly somewhere in Western Europe ofc. I know during that time it would be difficult to meet in Eastern Europe, but they could met in Yugoslavia at least, just to include east lol 😅i'm kidding ofc, great song

      You forgot too quickly the runner-up, Joëlle Ursull performing brilliantly "White and black blues", a song written and composed by the famous Serge Gainsbourg (just remember ESC 1965!).
