~~~ Lyrics ~~~
Now I’m heading home
To solid ground
Realised that all the lies I’ve told myself have died
Bring me to the place
Where I belong
Filled with all the memories and dreams I have ignored
Aaaaa Aaaa Aaaaa
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
There is one more thing
You need to know
That I forgive myself for all the lies I said before
Now I see the road
Of leading lights
Showing me where I should go and what to leave behind
Aaaa Aaaa
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
I remember all the things that I went through
All the lies and blurry lines and city lights I knew
Now I'm strong enough to see what lays inside
And I can feel it all
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges

Estonia just WOW. She sings perfectly, she is very very very underrated, her voice is super magical and she appears very stylish and classic. Pure perfection. She’s got her own character. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 supports you Estonia 🇪🇪 .
@@SheWasLevel18 You can see on forums and by the views and comments on all the released songs so far where the public is leaning.
@@SheWasLevel18 However her public votes is too low
Я согласен Эстония как минимум должна была попасть в тройку победителей! 🇺🇦🥰🇪🇪
@@SheWasLevel18 oh stop being so nit picky
@@Meloune_7 True
The fact that she's only 20 years old and delivers this majestic performance with perfection is just crazy. With her voice and strength, I would love to see her sing the next big Disney song.
I think this was not her last appearance at ESC.
Agree
Me encanta esta canción.Es preciosa y muy bien interpretada
Una gran voz y melodía
Bravo ESTONIA
CANCION MARAVILLOSA❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
hope not, i want more, she is a talent!@@tomschmidt4355

This is extremely underrated. Estonia deserved to be at least in the top 5
Yeah people don't appreciate good music. Atleast juries gave it good points
Yea, at least they came 8th :)
@@lbreindl6 Sadly true. The jury also favored Loreen too much, though
Na man i love the song but 8th is more then enough
Agree
When she got 22 points from the public that made me so upset :( I'm glad the juries at least had good taste and put her in the top 10 as she deserved, Alika did absolutely amazing 💙 Much love from Lithuania! 🇱🇹🇪🇪
yeah, i thought lithuania was good, this blew me away, also much love from lithuania!
@@GamingPigSFSI loved them too. The girls were wonderful ❤💜 Much love from 🇮🇱 and 🇷🇴 🩵💙 (I'm both)

I loved Estonia as well, but the juries are really really bad
Fantastic song that will get into a Eurovision top 10 of underachieving songs.. the fact it got more from the backhanded juries makes it more astonishing 😮
The only song that gave me goosebumps. Simply magnificent. 12 points from Serbia! 🇷🇸
+++++
❤❤❤
I meni se spava
YES
Slažem se 🤝
She had, hands down, the most impressive vocals of the whole competition
The second best vocals... First is Andrew Lambrou in my opinion but that Alika had the absolute BEST female vocals in this year
Blanca paloma be like
@@jorgeyague8225 imo they share the spot, I like blanca paloma more too but c'mon let's be real both are magnificent
@@ste5842nahh better than andrew in miless
@@odeutles I think Andrew just has the best vocals this year... I really like this song tho, in fact, it's my third favourite this year (Cyprus, Norway, Estonia) and I do think that she has the best female vocals but not the best vocals
One of the VERY few artists who actually sounds better in her live performance than her studio version, her performance blew me away.
I think there is only three artists like that, Alila, Brunette and Alessandra. And Gustaph also.
@@escvibe Alessandra and Gustaph absolutely no
Blanca Paloma also
@@davidblanco8452 yeah, I forgot bout her
Facts
The fact that she got a lot of points from Juries but was so underrated by the public is such a shame. This is a piece of art, this is what Eurovision should be. Poetry, Emotion, Feelings. And Alika with this piece of art gave us everything. Thank you Estonia, please don't stop sending masterpieces like this. Love from Italy 🇮🇹❤️
In the 2018 contest the Estonia song was another masterpiece with Elina Nechayeva and the song La Forza.
@@mbenocas1390 yesss, I remember that song and it is one of my favourite entries ever. Elina was outstanding
THANKS FOR JURY
@@mbenocas1390 no, this song is bad
@@enricopaoletti5650 bad song
100% talent
100% pure music
0% tacky show.
That was fabulous. My personal winner. Greetings from Poland.
Potwierdzam (też jestem z polski :D)
Mine too. Hi from the UK
Siema
Same for me, also with Italy, both the best songs of the show. Greeting too from Spain
Thanks form Estonia!
One year later and this song is still perfectly beautiful.
Her look, her voice, the staging, the song... everything was so astonishingly beautiful!! congrats Estonia, much love from Brazil! 🇧🇷🤍
True, her performance was pretty good. I am proud of her
True. Same with the 2015 Estonia, it is sad that they didn't win with their Song and this too. Could've been on top 3
Quick question where you abducted by brazilians is that why you are in brazil?
Bro really said "staging" when there is a piano and a microphone💀💀
@@laytonrobinson-xVery funny 🙄
She should have won! Her singing is incredible, she conveys so much emotion with a beautiful voice! Her style reminds me of Adele.
Lacking in show-elements apparently (consider level of movement in other songs in top 10)
From my point of view absolutely disagree.
@@vocalsvideos458 That‘s perfectly fine ☺️ I absolutely disagree with most people as well I guess since I think Tattoo (and Euphoria for that matter) are horrible and boring af songs with a singer who‘s voice is not beautiful at all to me 😂 Ukraine and Estonia are the only songs I actually listen to out of the Top 10
@@KohaAlbert Hmm her performance fits the song well though and I personally loved the laid back show, especially the piano playing itself. It’s classy and her outfit is stunning, her singing gives me goosebumps and makes me cry. It‘s the only song that actually touched me - it didn‘t need a big show for these reasons, the song and her voice ARE the show.
Considering how my country (Germany) put on a flashy show and still came in last I don‘t know how much it actually matters 😂
@@sesam.koernchen btw, when I said I absolutely disagree, I mean that I disagree that she should have won, that being said, she's one of my favourites vocally, Loreen contrary to you, is one of my favourites vocally too, I've studied singing for years, and even that there were shaky moments, her emotions and vocals gave goosebumps to people including me, and you can see the reaction of vocal coaches to Loreen, she's one of the best vocally in eurovision 2023, Estonia May be the vocally most perfect this year
It's a shame that she only got 22 points from the televote. she deserved the top 5, she sang perfectly. Im glad that juries saved her. Love from Serbia, i voted 14 times for Estonia🇷🇸❤🇪🇪
thank you
The very same juries crushed Finland's second victory. Still happy for Estonia.
ty 😊 ❤from🇪🇪
Too good for Eurovision
Прекрасная песня и шикарное исполнение, достойное первого места! ❤ Евровидение скатывается всё ниже и ниже - чем страшнее выступление, тем больше вероятности, что победит(
Estonia was greatly underestimated. Why doesn't anyone talk about this powerful voice and enchanting song? It's like a fairy tale.
estonia is always underrated no matter what we do lmao
@@MahlaMetsaMari facts
Estonia, one of the few countries who want to bring a song, and not an outragoeus show. I truly loved her performance, it brought out so many emotions and moved me. Hope either them or Italy wins🇪🇪
Totally agree with you. Unfortunately, neither one of them did😢
So true, I totally agree. That was the Song. Not supported by other additions. Great performance, beautiful extremely strong voice! And underrated...
@@jacquespaw4411 all their songs were so good...
@@irisk6035 yep!!!
@@charlottebartels429 😔
The fact this was 10th in the semifinal but finished 8th in the final
A magical moment almost didn't qualify...and yet people say juries ruin the show
Some people have no taste ....
@@Hannahhuan32like the people going crazy with rim tim ta gi dim
@@Gattoincallito it‘s a catchy song I agree but for the song contest not too sure!
Im really proud of Estonia 🇪🇪 she was a dark horse with the jury and got a Top 5 in jury points, and 8th place in general. I voted for her all the way from México 🇲🇽♥️🇪🇪
I did also.
The only thing jury did right
Yo igual vote por Estonia desde México ❤️
The voice
The song
The human
The country
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 12 points from Sweden to Estonia
It's sad people only gave her 22 points😢 So underrated
Goes to show that sometimes the jury knows better.
This is why we need juries she became 10th in semi final 2 we should thank the juries for having her ended to the top 10 she became 8th place overall 😁🇪🇪 I am happy for Alika. Also special thanks to Wouter Hardy he is reallt great music composer.
Three songs of his composing support in the top 10
2019 with Duncan Laurence 1st place 🇳🇱
2021 Gjon Tears 3rd place 🇨🇭
2023 Alika 8th place 🇪🇪
This is music this is art. Alika was my personal winner
because the votes cost 1.7€ in estonia so we literally dont have the money to vote for our singer lol
@@lbreindl6 Juries don't. Some juries, other juries make agreements on voting each other.
She should have won😊
She just Won Vocal Powerhouse of Eurovision 2023 😎🇪🇪🔥
yahhhh
im so so proud of her. she managed to be 8th even after being continuously underrated by the betting odds and the fandom! alika your voice was absolutely perfect and your song was amazing and you deserve everything youve got and so much more!!
Yeah odds said that she will finish at like 20th place. Glad that she did WAY better than that.
The point how I was so scared that she won’t make it to the finals and then she finished 8th overall
I was so happy
@Tanja 5 she deserves better beautiful Alika ❤❤❤❤
This performance proves that we still need juries no matter what. The televote always goes to the most 'popular' ones, not exactly to talents.
And the jury are rigged as well lmao
@@gkolnas98 It's already been a month of Eurovision, could you get over it now?
@@gkolnas98Far less than the public vote
Her getting Top 10 was literally the only good result that happened tonight
Agree, lots of songs are underrated !
I guess Finland coming second was good, but would have been much better if they’d won.
Facts!
@@esckesch finland is an overrated song, but atleast original unlike sweden
@@lbreindl6even me from Sweden agrees that Tattoo was quite bad
A year on and I still come back to play this song on occasions, It gives me goosebumps every time, Especially at 2:15 when the stage lights up and the power in her voice shows, At that point, She reminds me a little bit of Sia, I love Alika and her song Bridges, She was robbed at the Eurovision, She deserved to be crowned Eurovision winner 2023, My vote went to her 🙌🇬🇧❤️
This song is by far the best ballad this year, it gave me goosebumps wow🥹 She's just so talented, so proud of her for making it to the final, good luck. Love you, Alika ❤️🇪🇪
Чудова пісня, чудовий голос, чудовий виступ.
Пройшов вже рік, а я досі слухаю цю пісню.
Приємно бачити, що не тільки мені сподобалась Аліка, багато позитивних відгуків на підтримку цієї пісні. Це означає що Аліка достукалась до слухачів, вони запам'ятали її пісню.
Literal goosebumps! Got really mad with those 22 points from the public, deserved atleast top 3. She's definitely got a new fan from 🇵🇹
Weird what was so bad about Portugal song.
@@MairTheNerd nothing
1 year later, it stays a masterclass, my winner of eurovision 2023
Most underrated performance of this year. Music + lyrics + voice= fabulous. She is my winner after Israel this year. Good luck from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
I couldnt stand the hype of Israel's song, I think their song was nothing compared to Estonia or Cyprus. I wanted to win Estonia and after them Sweden, Australia, Cyprus 🙄
@@Molko Agreed, but Cyprus was a bit generic - I find Voyager (Australia's entry this year)'s rendition of the song (give it a listen if you haven't already) a lot better. Absolutely agreed with Estonia, Australia, and Sweden, though. They were my favourites along with potentially Serbia.
agreed...I was shock how little points audience gave her, she really is amazing her voice, singing technique and lyrics are sooo beautiful in my opinion...way more meaningful than some others who got more points
Alika is too perfect for Eurovision! She's already a winner and I'm quite sure this song will live in the minds and hearts of people who really supported her on the contest and beyond; just as I do. Alika representing Estonia was an ocean of emotions that gave me the goosebumps. She demonstrated once again it's not neccesary to fill the stage with complex mechanisms, dancers, or fireworks when the best show it's given with her voice and the control she has over it. Alika you are big! You're beyond this world! Keep building up bridges that will take you higher! It's time for you to see where you should go and what to live behind!
The only song that managed to give me goosebumps. A subtle, beautiful song that was grossly underestimated. I hope the song will pick up in popularity and gain global success
This is what the juries are for! Vocal perfection all the time, every time.
The evnings most UNDERRATED performance! Her voice is powerful while being gentle and she performs effortlessly! Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪🇪🇪
This is just a masterpiece. I can't stop listening and watching it. She should be in top 5 at least. 🇪🇪🇵🇱
Same here! 😊
We know Loreen and her voice, her talent, nothing new. But this song is amazing, as its singer and this moment is so great! Congrats, Alika and Estonia! After ESC 2023 I will remain with this special song and moment. Thank you!
I went to Estonia 3 years ago and it is a beautiful country with very friendly people and good taste in music. 12 points from Belgium! 🇧🇪❤🇪🇪
Perfect singing. She didn't look nervous at all. Got goosebumps many times 🇷🇸❤🇪🇪
and she is just 20. it shows that love grows in her and outta her. she is from Narva, from the edge of Estonia on the Russian border. maybe people there are just amazing;)))
I came here 10 months after this was posted because it got so stuck in my mind
Beautiful
I'm glad that Estonia has placed at least at top 10. She's mesmerizing.
My winner! She killed it all! The lyrics, the melody, the dress, the staging!!! All on point! ❤Go Estonia!!! ❤Love from 🇬🇪
Absolutely stunning! Sending hugs and votes from next door 🇱🇻♥️🇪🇪
From Lithuania too🇱🇹
♥️🇪🇪♥️🇱🇻♥️🇱🇹♥️
After the results we can say Estonia this year was the dark horse! So proud of Alika, Bridges was my second place since the victory of Eesti Laul and now it's always second only after Tattoo. Love from Italy🇪🇪🖤
She's the proof why we need juries
only 22 points from the public is a bit of a crime, thank god for the juries saving this gem
Most underrated song in public vote.
Regardless of what you think of the song, I think we can all agree that her performance was vocally one of the best, if not the best.
And that with just 20 years, big big respect.
What a fucking voice. They should put jurys in semis like before, she almost didn’t pass the semi and she finished top 10 in the final. It would’ve be a crime.
DAMN! THIS HAS GROWN SO MUCH ON ME! I am soooooo impressed by her vocal skills. The best vocalist of the year for sure! And that ballad must be one of the best we have had for the last decade! All the constant and cyclic techniques she is using... and the deep warm tone she has... I am just blown away! Amazing, Alika! The stage of ESC is the least you deserve! Hope to see more of you on the world stage! Love for Estonia and Tallinn
Estonia should be absolutely proud of her! What an artist! Thanks for everything!!!!
I had the privilege of watching it live in the arena. Sublime. I had met her earlier in the day and told her how the song made me cry. She was moved by that, which was beautiful. What a talent.
She's an amazing vocalist and her career is just starting! Hope she blesses the greatest stages with her voice.
her vocals were definitely some of the best in the competition!! casper also did AMAZING at the piano!! love from SWITZERLAND 🇨🇭♥️🇪🇪
This song is my personal winner. This song gives me so many different feelings while listening! Love you Estonia from Turkey!!
Really mature and therapeutic song, feels like talking to a real therapist
When I saw Alika’s performance in the second semifinal, I said that I could possibly fall in love with her and her song.
Now it is official: she is gorgeous, she is stunning, she impresses with her voice and staging!!!
No Loreen, only Alika- that is the real goddess 🔥
Who is here in 2024

If She was there in 2024 She was the winner
We needed more like this in 2024

me, making eurovision 2023 tier list to my girlfirend
One of my favorites this year. What a voice this girl has. And at the same time, how solvable and humble. Well done, you did great! Estonia should be proud for you!
Ich schaue mir dieses Lied 2024 an und bin immer noch begeistert von der Bühnenperformance und ihrem Gesang.
Das ist der Beweis, dass es Jurys immer noch braucht.❤
Bridges>>>>>tattoo
Agreed 👍🏻
She sings so perfectly, it has the emotions, strength and feelings. This is a piece of art. Should've been on top 5 atleast! Greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮🇪🇪
THIS DESERVED AT LEAST TOP 3!!! LOTS OF LOVE FROM FINLAND!!! 💙🖤🤍
Thanks 🇫🇮❤️🇪🇪
Half a year after I am stil shocked how vocally perfect she was! Unbelievably ideal singing
SO FEW POINTS FOR SUCH AN AMAZING SONG!!! ❤❤❤
I was screaming at the tv screen i wanfed this to win
@@Forgetfulness_Oblivion
Futile. Just be happy that TV has introduced you to this song :)
This is my personal favourite. Sadly its underrated. Im from Estonia.🇪🇪
DESERVED 8 PLACE❤❤❤🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪Alika is great singer and person! She performed "Bridges" with authentic emotions, just beautiful. We need juries because of artists like Alika.
Nah she doesn't deserve top 8. She deserved top 3(we are crazy for only giving her 22 points)
@@alex_legend3244ikr 😭
This was my favorite for this year! It's just amazing how strong and also peaceful her voice is.
One of my favourites this year. Stunning voice. Love from Spain🇪🇸❤️
This is just simply amazing, her perfomance is absolutely breathtaking. She deserved to be in at least the top 5. I came here to search for the comments about how underrated she was and it is actually!! Appreciate for those who knows the worth of the song 🎉
I watched Eurovision for the first time today, most of the people we're literally insane with their songs and outfits (not in a good way) but Alika really stood out in my opinion. I'm rooting for Estonia!!! 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
I'm from Poland and honestly for me this amazing artist with this fabulous song are number one in 2023 eurovision. Wish her good luck and I'm sure that for her this is only the beginning of a career ❤ big hug Estonia, you deserved to win this year ❤
Estonia this year surprised an audience with a very talented singer with beautiful voice, deep feelings, sensitivity, beauty of music and song arrangement. Song is full of emotions, so pure & clear, you want to listen & listen again & again. This is about music for sure, bravo 👏 👏👏 ( pity it was underrated )
Estonia and Slovenia deserved so much more
Absolutely enchanting, classic, stylish, and just lovely in every way! Had my vote from the UK!
Everyone complaining about Finland getting robbed but the ones that I think actually deserved to win over Loreen is either this masterpiece, la Zara or mimicat
Finland didn't get robbed lol. 2nd is an amzing finish for an song like that...
I also think lithuania and armenia deserved top 10
Proud that I gave Estonia 8 votes ❤ 🩵🇪🇪 ALIKA is amazing
So severely under rated! Her vocal control and stage presence is perfect!
This really was one of the best entries this year
Most underrated song of all. Gave me goosebumps! I'm total Alika fan 💖
this is why we need a jury still👌❤️
This song is just another reason to keep the jury vote intact. What a masterpiece and her voice us frankly out of this world ❤
This was such a great performance. It deserved much better than eighth place!
I was scared she wouldn't be top 10 but I am so glad that people realized her talent.
Estonija mi je i prošlu godinu a naravno i sad ovu bila posebno istaknuta svojom izvedbom koja odiše energičnom prirodnosti neopisive životne ljepote i radosti sa kojom zapali svoju publiku❤
The (unexpected) best performance of Eurovision 2023. I didn't notice the song in the official video so much but Alika shone in the live performance. Congratulations Estonia. This is the only song I am listening after the competition.
When she qualified for the final, i was all over the moon!!! ❤❤
But never expected her to be in top 10, when I realised I threw a party ❤❤❤❤
What a performance, what a song, what an anthem!!! Probably my favourite entry from them ever, I was Estonian yesterday night ❤ it should get the lyrics award!!!!
I have always wanted only the votes of the audience to count in Eurovision, but not this time. I am glad that the jury pulled Alika to at least eighth place. But for me this is the best performance of the competition.
Amazing ballade, perfect and charismatic performance. This was in my top 3 favorites. From Armenia!..
I've got gooooosebumps every time she hit those notes! This is a very rare case, when a singer sounds shockingly 100 times MORE beautiful on stage than in record. Also the staging and costume design - just perfect: simple and beautiful, only highlighting the vocalist. With love from Azerbaijan, I voted for this magnificent girl 💙
The most touching song last night. Powerful delivery from such a young girl...and the texture of her voice really stands out! Love and support from the Netherlands!!
Man I loved this song. Shame it didn’t get more points by the public! And gosh what a beautiful woman this is. You could feel the passion in her voice! Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
I voted for Estonia! Love from Moldova🇲🇩
Me too! From Catalonia
Absolutely criminal this didn't win the Eurovision, Fantastic song, Beautifully composed, Amazing performance from this young woman with such powerful vocals too, Reminds me a little of Sia towards the end, Love from the United Kingdom ❤️
I'll say it again, I'll never understand Eurovision. Estonia was my top 5, this girl has a beautiful voice and a lot of stage presence. Pure perfection! 12 pts from Brasil 🇧🇷❤️🇪🇪
And this masterpiece is why we must have juries at Eurovision. Without juries she would be 19th with only points coming from neighbouring countries (Finland, Latvia, Lithuania) and the Netherlands (as the composer is Dutch). Televoting alone is unfair.
Thank you Estonia for this song. Good luck from Spain I wish you a top 10. For me Bridge is a beautiful word, we need in this difficult moment, around the World.😔🌐
🇪🇦🇵🇪❤🇪🇪
This and Italy are masterpieces way beyond eurovision level. Love from Philippines
I still listen to this song weeks after eurovision. Such a masterpiece! -Belgium
Eurovision songs are songs too they are not for the competition only
It's 100% hit!!!
Just pure, beautiful music!!!!
Can' t understand public vote....
This is the best example of why we need the juries
Shame not many Estonians outside Estonia to vote for this pearl. She deserved to be between the winners. Great voice, lovely track.
How do you know :)
