Tough year, but great, great song and performance.. I still listen to it 20+ years later, and serbo-Croatian is not my native tongue, but she is mesmerizing.. love her phrasing also
I remember how suprised I was: firstly because doing something like that was not usual at that time, secondly it gave so much attention to my country and thirdly she was very first in order of appearance.
What about the opening in 1984? And how you have seen the Croatian entries from 1990 *, 1989*, 1987*, and in 1995? (In years with *, they were Croatian represents for Yugoslavia!) P.S. In 1984 they won (Sweden), maybe because of the draw. Spain or Ireland were higher class!
@@draganadc Doris and Maria Magdalena IT S NOT Yougoslavian entry at all ! It was Croatian entry! Second Doris is Criatian singer ! Third in .1999 Yougosoavia didn t exist !! Doris 1986 'Zeljo moja" was Yiugoslavian entry but even than t she was representativ of TV Zagreb witch is today HRT (Croatian radio television !) So your commment doesn t make any sense !
Danijela and this song show what used to be wonderful about the Eurovision Song Contest: a great singer, a great song, sung in the country’s own beautiful language, and a great orchestration.
Hands down my favourite song that year. Memorable voting, very tight in the top. Don't mind Dana International wining, but Danijela was amazing!!! Love Croatia from Poland ❤
The live version is really special, yes. First of all the performence by Danijela is very good. But I think it's the orchestral arrangement by Stipica Kalogjera played by the BBC Concert Concert Orchestra which really makes this magical.
Another day has passed by Once more, the moon has come Silently, like a dear guest To abridge my mornings For the sorrow leads me through the years Steals the dream, till a new day dawns May the dawn never rise May I disappear, may I cease to exist May I not wake up without you May the dawn never rise May I disappear, may I cease to exist May I not wake up without you Another day has passed by Once more, the moon has come Silently, like a dear guest To abridge my mornings For the sorrow leads me through the years Steals the dream, till a new day dawns May the dawn never rise May I disappear, may I cease to exist May I not wake up without you May the dawn never rise May I disappear, may I cease to exist May I not wake up without you May I not wake up without you May the dawn never rise May I disappear, may I cease to exist May I not wake up without you May I not wake up without you
Such sad and tragic lyrics! In my opinion Danijela moves too sensual on stage for such lyrics. Her performance doesn't translate the emotion of mourning and depression, only feminity.
@@voloshanca To be honest, reading these lyrics in English (very good traslation actually), it does sound tragic and dark and my thought was also like yours: her stage performance does not correspond to the lyrics and atmosphere of the song. On the other hand, listening to ithe song in Croatian, there's nothing wrong with her coreography and the atmosphere of the song is not nearly as dark as it is in the English version. I guess it's what they call Lost in Translation.

Sjecam se davne 1998. Ovu sam evroviziju morala snimati na video kasetu. Posto BiH nije ucestvovala, navijali smo naravno za Hrvatsku. Predivna pjesma 😍
I ja sam snimao i navijao za Hrvatsku skoro isto toliko, koliko za nasi Vlado Janevski - "Ne zori, zoro". Naslov te pesme veoma slican sa Danijelove pesme! Makedonija je odlucila pobednik te godine: Kad je Malta cekala svoje bodove i pobedu, onda 12 bodova otisli su kod Danijele, pa je Izrael pobedio, sa 7 t.e. 8 poena ispred UK i Maltu.
Ovu pjesmu je pjevala moja kćerka u 8. razredu na natjecanju i osvojila 2. mjesto. Kad god je čujem naježim se jer me podsjeti na moju raspjevanu djevojčicu kao što je i naša Danijela. 🌹💞
She managed to come 5th in a televote-only ballad with a ballad in a native language after after being 1st in the running order 😎 She beat pretty much every predictor of a bad result 😂
That was in the good old years when Croatia still sent great entries to the Eurovision. I miss those days. Neka mi ne svane is such a good song and Danijela is a terrific singer.
I think if she had performed more in the second row of the show she would have made it to the top two for sure. Remember this was the first year with televoting, being first that night performing, I think it did hurt her a place or two and not have her in the top three.
Now, this is Class you have a live singer no crap behind her just a voice to die for, and a live orchestra from Ireland 12 points. I remember the Video to this on Irish TV R.T.E. they showed the Euro preview ON A SUNDAY and I remember this classic Danijela hair was jet black IT WAS SO CLEVER TO GIVE Danijela blonde hair.
I wish some people who spoke English regardless if they don’t understand my language At all (hrvatski) would listen to this and feel the goosebumps and the absolute amazement I feel listening to this. I wish I could have been there to see it live. Wonderful
as someone who speaks English and doesn’t speak in her tongue, this song gives me the goosebumps. That’s why I love Eurovision because it is the full embodiment of universal language of music and the breaking of language barriers
She is and remains the winner ... She is the most unique A absolutli UNIKAT ,She is a person that I never before met in my Live ... She is the Only winner 💎 in my heart 💙 Her name is GOLDEN ČUPAVA My 🍀
Watch the Eurovision Song Contest when Doris Dragović performed, Danijela had a great song, beautiful sentimental and tender while Doris Dragović had a powerful and stage strong song, for me the two most beautiful and best songs ever performed at the Eurovision Song Contest. This is what every Eurovision song contest should look like.
@@DuchessTheAristocat She's actually the third member of Euroband and she performed the song at their show in Iceland that I went to. I believe she also stated it before when she sang it on Icelandic TV.
Still gives me goosebumps. This should've been the winner.
This is my runner up, after the United Kingdom.
That dress reveal is a Top 5 of all time moment for me.
Honestly all of the top 5 bar Israel would have been worthy winners
so agree :)
Tough year, but great, great song and performance.. I still listen to it 20+ years later, and serbo-Croatian is not my native tongue, but she is mesmerizing.. love her phrasing also
The applause after she removes the black cape consists a classic ESC moment, for me at least.
yeah and look at the show now, here was the music in front. Now is all Bullshit
I remember how suprised I was: firstly because doing something like that was not usual at that time, secondly it gave so much attention to my country and thirdly she was very first in order of appearance.
It was poorly repeated in 2000, through Linda Wagenmakers and the Netherlands.
It is a real ESC classic indeed.
For me this is one of the best songs ever from the Eurovision contest
Fun fact; this is Icelandic entrant Selma's favorite Eurovision song!
BUT THIS IS FROM 1998 SELMA IN 1999@@Euroviking86
I agree😊
Should have been the winner!!!
A song I truly dislike.
Croatian sounds awesome . Greetings from Türkiye
2022.
This song should won! Beautiful voice, beautiful woman, beautiful song...
Everything was spectacular!
Legendary.....❤
This must be the best opening ever in the ESC history. And the best Croatian entry with 1999
What about the opening in 1984?
And how you have seen the Croatian entries from 1990 *, 1989*, 1987*, and in 1995? (In years with *, they were Croatian represents for Yugoslavia!)
P.S. In 1984 they won (Sweden), maybe because of the draw. Spain or Ireland were higher class!
@@aleksandaraleksovski2423 in 1975 and 1976 the winner opened the contest.
this and Doris were the best Croatians entries ever
Doris was Yugoslavian entry
@@draganadc he means Doris 1999. For Yugoslavia Doris was there 1986

Till now 😉
Beautiful lady. Beautiful song. Still my favourite 21 years later
Thank you 😊
She still looks like this. 🤗🤗
True winner 1998
Uma das melhores canções da Croácia até hoje.
The orchestra really adds to the quality of this song. The live version is much better than the studio version.
25 Years Later.I like this song! 🧡
Danijela and this song show what used to be wonderful about the Eurovision Song Contest: a great singer, a great song, sung in the country’s own beautiful language, and a great orchestration.
Beautiful and powerful!
I kiss her when I bring her a red 🌹 at HRT show at dance floor!
Indeed
Legendary! This song should won! Beautiful voice...
This and Israel were my favorites, so I was pretty happy with the results ; )
Agree
When the orchestra elevates already a great song...Classic! :)
One of the 10 best Eurovision songs of all time.
Agree the BBC concert orchestra and set design was amazing
Hands down my favourite song that year. Memorable voting, very tight in the top. Don't mind Dana International wining, but Danijela was amazing!!! Love Croatia from Poland ❤
Pozdrav iz Hrvatske prijatelju dragi. Cheers ❤
notice on how this song tastes so much perfect this way rather than the studio version

@@escLIVEmusic1 in any case this song would have been killed if it had the studio version playing.
No wonder its my all time favourite
@@escLIVEmusic1 daniela was actually sick here,had a flu... So she had trouble singing :)
@@Dynoman9398 Still sang beautifully🥰
12 points from Israel! My favorite song from the entire 90's

My favorite Croatian entry! The orchestral arrangement just adds to the beauty of this song! Hvala Danijela!
Another day has passed by

May I not wake up without you
May the dawn never rise
May I disappear, may I cease to exist
May I not wake up without you
