    ► Lyrics:
    Release me
    Don't talk go away
    Release me
    It's not right to make me stay
    All the lies and all the pain
    Only you can make them go away
    Release me from this sad and losing game
    Release me
    Don't say what I already know
    Release me
    only trouble steals the show
    All those words won't comfort me
    It's clear we're not meant to be
    Release me from this sad and losing game
    You're all I want
    A dangerous need
    it s wrong to keep you close to me
    If you dare
    If you care
    Then cut the ropes and float away
    Yes release me
    If you love me, let me go
    Release me
    Don't talk go away
    Release me
    It's not right to make me stay
    All the lies and all the pain
    Only you can make them go away
    Release me from this sad and losing game
    You're all I want
    A dangerous need
    it s wrong to keep you close to me
    If you dare
    If you care
    Then cut the ropes and float away
    Yes release me
    If you love me, let me go
    All the lies and all the pain
    Only you can make them go away
    All those words won't comfort me
    It's clear we're not meant to be
    Release me from this sad and losing game
    Hooverphonic will represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam with the song Release Me.

      I've done some digging and it turns out Belgium is actually a musical powerhouse. Relying on smaller budgets has forced them to blur the lines of known genres and turn to real talent and small projects instead.

      Most of what you're likely referring to isn't AutoTune, but other pitch shifting programs. That being said, this has it too, just not in the way you've come to think of when you hear the term. That's not to take away from the song, a good producer can take you from good to great.

    One of the best songs this year. Finally a song with influences from a great band. This one seems to be inspired in Portishead. The jazz vibe, the guitars, the orchestra in the background and the soft beat of the drums give it a very Portishead look wich is a band that I love.
    Her hypnotic voice make us dream.
    A potential winner for me. (7/10).

    Belgium has a 50/50 shot with this to the final in May, The song overall is giving me James Bond Vibes, this sounds like this should be in another James Bond movie (if they make one). Pretty Good Belgium.
