      quite right I am here now, because this song in 3/4 was so brave. and a moving introspective lyric, marvellously sung. This is one which stand out as a song and as testament that yes all musicians can watch Eurovision, to see the breadth of genres, tempos, subjects and styles, in possibly the most prestigious songwriting contest.

    Now that NL seems to have a good chance of winning this year, I think it's time to thank Anouk once again for her gutsy decision to demand to represent the country in the ESC after a long period of misery for the Dutch. After Anouk, going to Eurovision was no longer regarded as an embarrassing thing to do for 'serious artists' in NL. Thank you Anouk!

    Can we just say how underappreciated most of the Dutch songs have been throughout the last ten years of Eurovision? Sure, Duncan Laurence won in 2019 but even Anouk, O'Gene, Common Linnets and the male singer who later partecipated solo were all astounding in their depth and underlying emotions. I think Netherlands are among the best in the festival and deserve much more recognition than, say, Sweden or Russia. Much love from Italy

      I didn't watch the complete show (as usual, it just takes too long) but can remember how well this song stood out in the voting-overview when they repeated about 10 seconds of each song from that night. This was such a warm, welcoming sound between all the noise from all the other songs.
      The same happened the year after, when The Common Linnets got the same effect: just by the lack of overprocessed sound, their song stood out from the rest.

    The Netherlands was quite revolutionary with this song. After this entry, and their following slow country pop entries, they really changed the culture in Eurovision of countries grotesque circusshows entries. Now many more entries are ‘real music’ that ‘don’t fit eurovision’. And Anouk (together with the common linnets) started it. Greetings from Germany!

    • @anothercomment
      @anothercomment 2 роки тому +28

      The mid 2010s was the time when the Eurovision stopped with the joke acts and gave us some serious music, and Anouks Birds is a great example of this. Also, the reintroduction of juries in 2009 helped the contest from becoming a total circus that it had turned into during the 2000s.

    Still get goosebumps hearing Anouk singing Birds. One of the best Dutch entries ever. The controverse of a well known Dutch rock chick performing a moving ballad in this Eurovision atmosphere brings tears to my eyes. After many years of dull Dutch entries with no chance to reach the final, it was Anouk who changed the Dutch Eurovision history at once. She paved the way for strong Dutch entries like the Common Linnets, Douwe Bob, Duncan Laurence for taking the Eurovision Songcontest seriously. Hear the heavenly interference of her choir at 2.10. Totally underrated at the end of the final but certainly one of the chosen songs when my time on earth is done.

    Of the time when I tried to
    Live life without you
    Birds falling down the rooftops
    Out of the sky like raindrops
    No air, no pride
    If being myself is what I do wrong
    Then I would rather not be right
    Hope's turned into fear
    With my one wing I can't fly
    With sunrise embrace my
    Dreams tight and that's why
    Birds falling down the rooftops
    Out of the sky like raindrops
    No air, no pride
    Birds
    To a place without fear, with no moonlight
    All I need are trees and flowers and some sunlight
    When memories are being made and where the old one dies
    Where love ain't lost
    Birds falling down the rooftops
    Out of the sky like raindrops

    Out of the sky like raindrops

      Anouk has feelings? But on the voice of Holland she was SUPER DUPER mean and didnt care about the contestant's feelings! (Im Dutch)

    I could n`t believe something of this calibre would be entered as a Eurovision song, but delighted. Still a great song, and, for me, the most memorable Eurovision entry ever.

    I really like the return of the jury voting. Because of that, the finals now have a more balanced combination of great songs, entertaining performances and guilty pleasures. I'm glad Anouk contributed to the great songs part, and to me the song gets better every time I listen to it.

    One of those songs I come back to time and time again. Thanks a lot to the Netherlands to send such a beautiful song to the ESC! Admittedly, when I first heard this song, I didn't know, what to make of it, as it wasn't the average ESC "easy listening" song you'd expect, but it grew on me more and more. Now I know, that it is a masterpiece and some of the juries will probably soon have kicked themselves for not noticing it on that evening.
