Thanks to participating broadcaster LTV: @LTVSupernova
~~~~~ Lyrics provided by LTV ~~~~~
You said some words
Didn't hear you fall asleep
People were talking louder
From my TV screen
I heard them scream
It was too dark to see
Don't cry, I'll try to
Say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please don't wake up wake up
Used to think we live
In a world so beautiful
You see
I think I don't believe
In this stuff anymore
Don't cry, I'll try to
Say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please don't wake up wake up
Don't cry, I'll try to
Say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please don't wake up wake up
Please don’t make me wake
Don’t make me wake
Please don’t wake up wake up
Aijā (Lull)
Aijā (Lull)
Saldā miegā (In sweet sleep)
Aijā
Aijā
Saldā miegā

Probably not for a eurovision audience but that is a master classe Indie Spotify song! My fav in eurovision, greetings from 15 years watching eurovision fan from Poland! 33# in odds? Funny! GO LATVIA! 🇵🇱🇱🇻
Karolek jestem z Ciebie dumny ❤️. Pokazałeś klasę miszczu 👊. Fajnie, że ktoś z Polski poza mną lubi to cudo ❤️.
I agree. Eurovision is not ready for this song. But it´s sooo good.. I love this song! Greetings from Poland, I hope I can listen to this song live in final.
oh noo, i have not looked at the odds, 33rd? this song deserves so much better, i really hope this isn't another Latvian banger that doesn't qualify
@@pustak7202 I think it deserves better too! But to be fair, the odds don't mean that they'll finish in 33rd place. It just means that they're the 33rd most likely to get 1st place. Essentially, it only means they're unlikely to win, it doesn't mean that they'll do bad overall.
🇱🇻❤️🇵🇱
As an artist, I need to say that this is pure art and probably one of the best entries this year.
All of band members have musical education. Vocalist have masters degree and plays in symphonic orchestra
i agree ❤
Same!!
Latvia deserved to be in the final for its quality composition, its own style and its elegance. It is a pity that they do not know how to value it. From a disappointed Spanish eurofan.❤😢
Yeah...our 7th year.
Then it will be 8th.
9th....
10th....
And more, if we won't withdraw from Eurovision...
I think they deserved easily to be on top 10 or maybe 5
The problem isn't the song, it's very good song but the staging very similar to national final and that's not interesting.
@@aboodalkaed3888 I mean, my country doesn't have money to make spectacular staging...artists also have to pay sometimes.
Tbh way too much emphasis is put on staging
It's been a year. And still I think is the most underrated song of last year. THIS SONG SLAPS
Very proud of Sudden Lights for representing my country at the ESC. This is something very authentic, very thoughtful and very Latvian.
My favourite song in the contest this year! So underrated. Good luck from 🇬🇧
Latvia is in my top 5, maybe top 3. This is the kind of music we listened to in the 90's - 2000's. Alternative indie music was big back then and this song is beautiful! I'm so sad it's in semi 1, it probably won't qualify. Not because it's a bad song (it's one of the best!). But because the hype for almost all the other songs in semi 1 might be too much to overcome. Fingers crossed from Norway
♥️🇱🇻
@@Ita.Paperwhite I would guess more because it doesn't fit the mainstream music. Indie Rock is something you have to grow into.
@@boopyournose5698 Agree. I grew into it a long time ago so to me... a world without indie rock is an alien world ;) But it's really promising to see acts like Latvia and Serbia join Eurovision.
I really like how he sings in Latvian at the end. Such a charming language
I’m here to mourn this masterpiece not making it through to the GF. We love you Latvia!!! 12 points from the U.S
Sudden lights was in my personal top 3 since the beginning. Absolute masterpiece of a song and I was gutted I wouldn't be hearing it again at the grand finals.
You should be proud!
Thank you Latvia for this masterpiece, i will always protect this entry, will vote for you, hope to see you in final❤️🇱🇻
Yes❤
I hope so too💓
of course!
Yess🇱🇻❤️
Sim ❤🇧🇷
Still can't understand why this masterpiece isn't in everyone's top 5, I hope that staging will elevate the song for fandom
It‘s in my top 10 for sure!
It's my number 2. (Actually first with Australia's Voyager)
You are not alone. This is my winner so far. I love this type of rock.
@@Ita.Paperwhite Yeah. Waiting for semi final qualifying odds to determine whether LV is actually underrated or not. Nobody expects it to have the slightest possibility to win, but same can not be said about qualifying
@@AntoFalconFire Yes and Serbia
Not the kind of songs that win Eurovision and yet the most quality entry we had for years. This goes right into my playlists! Good job 🇱🇻
Totally agree. It's another league.
This was AMAZING, it should have gotten to the final
this song brings me so much comfort and there’s just something about it that’s so nostalgic and soothing like a lullaby. not to mention how catchy it is! i’ve wanted sudden lights to represent latvia since 2018 and now they get to do it with the beautiful song aijā. please massvote for them in the 1st semifinal! they deserve to be in the final 💕🇱🇻
For me, this song perfectly encapsulates how the world is right now. We’re trying to find any type of comfort to save us from chaos. I’m rooting for Latvia from the U.S. and I really hope that this song qualifies to the finals. ❤️
Its been more than a month since the Eurovision and I still listen to this song. It wasn’t a random Eurovision song that people forget in a week. Its deep.
How did this masterpiece not win the entire thing 🧐
THIS MASTERPIECE HAS TO BE IN THE FINAL HOW THE HELL ARE THEY SOOOOO FREAKIN UNDERRATED??????????
I believe in Sudden Lights' supremacy🇱🇻😭💖
Me too 💖 Unfortunately latvian performances aren't successful. ((
Потому что это не песня финалиста,то песня скорее для фонового звука
Normal. We see this every year and with several songs. That's how Eurovision Freak Show is. And this year, without jury in the semifinals, it will be even worse.
@@baconinha
not necessarily… with the international, Rest Of The World voting, we may see some acts get a few extra points, even if they are a bit niche, and that may make a crucial difference.
Though I will readily concede that because of linguistic and cultural blocs, Portugal (which, going by immigration alone, has a few million nationals outside of the EU), Ireland and Australia will be the greatest beneficiaries in the semifinals, and Spain, the UK and, to some extent, France and Italy will pick it up in the grand final as well (don’t forget some huge countries and sets of countries, like Brazil and the rest of Latin America, the US - where a lot of people like to identify as “Something-American” according to their heritage -, Canada…).
This is a masterpiece. It is creative (it combines rock and ballad, we dont have anything like that this year), unique, good vocals, lyrics meaning is so deep and perfect, melody is catchy and great. Its so underrated, I hope it makes to final. We need it.
So good. So sad they didn't qualify.
Every year there's at least one amazing song that doesn't make it. I'm sorry that fate befalls Latvia once again.
Much love from Lapland!!
This song is far above the level of the Eurovision. Having it on repeat on my Spotify, like this is what I casually listen to and I didn't expect to hear anything like this on ESC
Dear latvians: you must be proud for this piece of art. This is so meaningful! It deserves a good place, because it's so avant-garde. I feel listening an alternative radio.
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Todo nuestro apoyo desde chile para letonia 🫶🫶🫶
I thank them for sending such a beautiful and meaningful piece of art. This is above Eurovision standards.
I don’t care about qualifications - this is the best Latvia song for many years ❤
I freaking love this song!!! Can't believe it didn't make the final!!!! So sad!!!!!!!!!!
Love this song so much.
Love from Lithuania 🇱🇹💙🇱🇻
I'll vote my ass off to get this beautiful and meaningful song through the difficult semifinal! I care about it as much as my own country's chances. And if it doesn't qualify, I'll be forever greatful to have found this band, thank you Latvia! Love from Finland ❤️
Me too! Also from Finland and this is my favourite.
Feel you! And some nostalgia for Disco Ensemble or Satellite Stories in this song. :') Aijā is still unique though, and beautiful ♡
no chance, bookmakers predict very bad place for Latvians
Yes this Serbia Australia and finkand the Liverpool sounding English tech industrial sound like The Wombats
Same I am also from Finland and I really start to love this song! Reminds me so much of the indie songs I listened to and i love it. We need to vuoteen for this one so badly😢
they should have won this Eurovision because it was fire 😍
Most underrated song of the season. This is locked into my personal top 5. I'm so glad my country is in the same semi so I can vote for it and do my part to hopefully getting this to the final.
Never getting tired of this, it gets better with each listen. We NEED them in the grand final, they deserve it so much.
Can't stop listening to it, it's too good for
Eurovision
Im crying. Huge love burst from Lithuania, we love you, braliukai
idc and idk what other people saying but this song is literally perfect
In my opinion the best music video of entire Eurovision season. Thank you Latvia 🇱🇻
Not qualifying this song made me feel sad :( I will always remember it
I am still not over the fact that this masterpiece did not qualify...
Me too!
oh SAME
Latvia... I hope this song qualify for the final, what a beautifull songgg ✨️ Greetings from south Korea with 12 points 🇰🇷❤️🇱🇻
Liels paldies, sirds sveiciens no Latvijas ❤🇱🇻
Paldies paldies un paldies! Es arī ceru tikt uz finālu, bet man vajag jums lai balso. Balsojat 04 dažas reizes!
It's the most beautiful song in Eurovision 2023! Latvia for the win 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
Yeah 🧡 it's another level
This is what I call a magnificent song! Great band
Why does it make me choke on my tears?
Dear Latvians, thank you so much for sending this! This is straight up perfect. It's my number one this year :)
@Mr No Oh hey, what a surprise to see you here :) Omg Aija is a masterpiece and I love that we love it
Mine too!
Latvia is amazing this year 💙
I've just listened for the first time to all the songs from this year and this song was the only one that gave me goosebumps. My favourite this year, I guess.
Can’t believe this was my #1 song of 2023, congrats sudden lights on creating a truly year long captivating song!
This is my winner this year! Cant stop listening to it! Much love from the States! 🇺🇸❤➡️🇱🇻
The Baltics always deliver unique songs. And I'm all here for it.
Good luck!
🇩🇪❤️🇱🇻
Bellissima !!! From Italy.
Tuesday I'll vote for Latvia.
❤️
I didn't follow eurovision till the semis this year, saw all the songs for the first time today, this was my favourite, HOW THE HELL it didn't make it to the final?
Yet another underappreciated Latvian song...
my second favourite esc song ever - this song is perfection ❤🇱🇻
Congratulations to Latvia for the quality and the courage, by an italian. I really like this one.
For me this is the best eurovision song, i sincerely hoped that this song would be appreciated. Amazing track ❤
Greetings from Poland
Latvia should be so proud this song represented them, a pure masterpiece
I'm in love with this song! It has an eerily haunting quality on so many levels. A rare gem among so many generic entries which do not resonate with me at all. I hope people will learn to understand what a magic moment it would be to have this song qualify for and be performed in the finals. I will definitely support them from Germany. ❤
The most underrated song of this year! I can't even remember when I liked Latvia, because I'm usually not into their entries, but this song is such a masterpiece❤ The best Latvian entry since 2016! I hope they qualify. I wish it was in the 2nd semifinal instead of Blanka(Poland)
You won my heart. Still earing it right now. 100 points from Portugal
I am so sad that you didn't get in for Saturday but I voted and I think your amazing.
This song is quite underrated, such a masterpiece, love the lyrics and the message of the song, really meaningful! ❤️🇱🇻
A very meaningful and respectable entry from our Latvian friends. I hope this song will qualify to the grand final. Love from PL!
Thx for this song, i'm from Poland and i love it :)
Can't stop listening to it! Will be voting for sure! Good luck guys with this rare gem
Really enjoyed this, I hope Latvia gets the recognition it deserves this year!
Please vote for this if you can!!
My 12 points from Greece! Sooooo beautiful! Congratulations 🎉
Terribly sad that this incredible song didn't qualify, I will always remember this song. Winning song for me this year ❤🤍❤
This is an underrated masterpiece. I've been listening this nonstop
When I first heard this song, I was surprised by the usage of 5/4, as it is quite rare and hard to incorporate in a well sounding way, but this song is so unique and the melodies and lyrics flow so well, it really just adds onto the song! I hope with all my heart that this song will qualify, love from 🇦🇹❤🇱🇻
@@EchaOmega it‘s basically the same - a music student
The way the 5/8 intro flows so seamlessly into 6/8 for the rest of the song is super impressive too !!!! Love this song
Brave of Latvia to bring us a certified Indie/Post-Rock banger set to a quirky choreography in a liminal space.
This kind of act and song doesn’t indeed “belong” in the Eurovision, but in a good way, and if I had my way, this kind of stuff should either be the norm, or at least be much more common at the ESC (at home, in our own national selection, the FdC, we had, say, You Can’t Win Charlie Brown, SAL or Esse Povo, which could very well play in the same summer festival as these guys, but went for the safer - if also insanely good and dignified - choice instead, so there’s that).
I hope that even if it’s a NQ (undeservedly, if I may add), at least they get proper exposure and a career boost. Congrats and good luck from Portugal!
I voted for you, it was my favorite entry, you guys still won in my heart!
Love from Estonia!
So underated...
One of my favorites this year!!!
Congratz Latvia well done!!!
This song is *very* underrated. This such a modern alternative rock and well performed song. It'll do better than people think, I believe. Good luck, Aijā. "Aijā.... a-aaaaai-jā...."
It did not stand out live in the semifinals but I am really enjoying it here. It's going on my playlists.
I feel so sad... can't understand the people. I love the Song!!! All the best, from Germany
Outstanding good with a beautiful sound. Thank you, Latvia. Warmest regards and 12 points from Germany. 🇱🇻🇩🇪🇪🇺.
Danke
DOOON'T CRY
I'LL TRY TO SAY THE RIGHT WORDS AT THE RIGHT TIMES
SING YOU LUUULLAAABIESS
PLEAASE
DON'T WAKE UP, WAKE UUP 😭💛
Masterpiece! It's not for the ESC audience nevertheless, but in all honesty...your song has the most emotions. Hope to hear even more of you. :)
I freaking love that drum 'n bass melody combined with rock guitar!
Underrated and artistic. I truly hope these boys break the streak of Latvia not qualifying - they deserve the Grand Final!!!
Dear Latvians, how did you find so many attractive people and put them all in one room?
I hope we will see ya in the final with a really high score 🖤
Wdym? They are just normal people we see in our daily life 😅
@@einarsa7196All of them could be models, the band included 💫
why is this not in the final!!! this is so beautiful!
Good song Latvia...
Congratulations from Portugal...
🇵🇹🇱🇻🤞❤️..
Protect this entry at all cost.
I understand why this is not on the finals (Not a very Eurovision song) but this was my favorite from this year. Pure art.
I LOVE everything about this song and will really miss it in the final. It's my favourite of the 37 songs and it's in my top 3 Eurovision songs of all time ❤🥰
Freaking underrated, true masterpiese.
Luckely in the same Semi like my country, so i know for whom i`m gonna vote.
Thank you Latvia for sending this MASTERPIECE. Congratulations Sudden Lights!! Good luck from Cuba, you deserve it 🇱🇻🇨🇺♥️
This song even made me cry.
I love this song, the Performance at Semi Finals was top tier! 12 points from Germany hoping for the best ❤
As usual, alternative, original interesting quality music from Latvia. Really underrated. This deserves to qualify
QUALIFY!!!
This song isn't in the final?!? How it's possible???? 😑😑😑
They can break a broken heart 💔
Such a great song and performance. They should have qualified ❤
I will vote for Latvia in Semi1 - I do want to see this gem in the Finals! With respect from Finland.
Hyvä suomi!🎉
"You still think we live in a world so beautiful
You see, I think I don't believe in this stuff anymore
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times"
And what am I doing? OF COURSE I'M CRYING😭😭😭
PLEASE VOTE TO LATVIA TODAY! Number 04!! Greetings from Poland
Just reviewing this masterpiece, and crying like a baby. Such a beautiful song! I want it so bad to go through to the final and share this with the rest of the world outside this Eurovision fans bubble. I will be tomorrow so exited for them, I am counting the minutes! Luckily I can vote from Germany ❤❤❤
This masterpiece has to be in the final. This song gives me emotions that are indescribable. This is perfection, been listening to it on repeat recently. 12 points from Australia 🇦🇺. 🇦🇺 ❤️ 🇱🇻!

I feel overwhelmed everytime I hear this song, it's so beautiful
Latvia this year is in my top 3, such a masterpiece
