- 1994 winner for Ireland. Words & music by Brendan J. Graham. Performed by Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigan. In a first for the competition, this was performed entirely acoustically, with just a piano and guitar and no use of the orchestra at all. It might not be 'rock 'n roll' but it's simply brilliant!
Unfortunately for the winning song, the interval performance of 'Riverdance' took most of the headlines.
This is not the Eurovision performance.
One of the most beautiful songs in Eurovision ever... That's music with emotion and no fireworks. I love it very much!
also in your eyes and the voice take me to your heaven pupet on a string
I agree wonderful song
Unreal tune remember it well was the year I moved to Ireland and it was never of the radio pity they don't have songs like this anymore
This is how music is made. Fantastic.
I remember '62
I was sixteen and so were you
And we lived next door,
On the avenue.
Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too;
Blue jeans and blue suede shoes,
And we never knew
What life held in store.
We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more.
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did
And listening to those songs on the radio;
I was yours and you were mine
But that was once upon a time,
Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore.
Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door,
And Mary's down at the record store,
They don't want to be... Around us no more.
"Golden Oldies" but we hardly speak
Too busy running to a different beat
Hard to understand, we were once like them.
How I wish we could find those Rock 'n' Roll days again.
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did,
And listening to those songs on the radio;
I was yours and you were mine,
But that was once upon a time,
Now we never seem to Rock and Roll anymore.
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time,
Now we never seem to Rock and Roll...
We just never seem to Rock and Roll anymore.
Beautiful thanks my dear.
Two seriously handsome Irish man singing a very Very beautiful song. 💚💚❤️❤️
Wow what a song, this is when the Eurovision was worth watching and Ireland won nearly every year.... Pity we won't win it again, can't bring those years back.... Beautiful song well done X
It reminds me a bit of the song called "Rock `n`roll I gave you all the best years of my life" - love this song. My favorite back then!!
That was the title of Bruce Welch's book...
I was thinking I've heard a similar tune. Your right it does have some similarities.💚🍀
such a pretty song. this was my birth year!
Something special:)
Best song of the ESC ever
Eu estava pesquisando sobre os vencedores do Eurovision e simplesmente amei essa música.
such a track
No surprise that this won it for us in '94. Imagine if we entered a song like this these days, I wonder would we win it?
Maybe they would sing: We were the grunge kids....
L'Irlande a toujours été la championne du concours Eurovision parce qu'elle présente toujours de vraies chansons, au contraire de certains pays qui proposent n'importe quoi et qui gagnent quand-même. (Russie, Turquie, etc.) Il y a longtemps que je ne regarde même plus car on ne juge plus la valeur d'une chanson mais seulement la présentation. Auparavant, le jury était composé de professionnels de la musique, mais faire voter le public par téléphone est absurde, chacun votant pour son pays... Les plus grands pays de la musique sont l'Irlande et l'Italie. Ireland has always been the champion of the Eurovision Song Contest because it always presents real songs, unlike some countries which offer nonsense and still win. (Russia, Turkey, etc.) I haven't even watched it for a long time because we no longer judge the value of a song but only the presentation. Previously, the jury was made up of music professionals, but having the public vote by telephone is absurd, everyone voting for their country... The biggest music countries are Ireland and Italy.
@aoifebxxx im afraid not..id love the guitar part.cant figure the fecking thing out ha
He sounds like Keith Urban, an American country singer :) anyways, a good song!:)
Keith Urban is actually Australian. :)
Maybe it's deliberate because it costs a lot of money to host this contest and you have to host it if you win.Ireland had a very successful run in eurovision in the 1990s and that must have been expensive. Since the credit crunch no one has the money to spare any more.
@animaa18 mine too. :)
No, We get shite from Ireland nowadays. Awful awful pieces.
My top 5: United Kingdom / Norway / Poland / Ireland / Sweden
With other words: It was the wrong song which won in my opinion...
UK's song that year was terrible, Frances Ruffelle. Norway had a nice duet, Polands song (from Edyta Górniak) was a nice song but it was very unoriginal. It sounded like many other eurovision songs. Sweden's was also a lovely song another duet but with a similar problem as Poland. I'm Irish so I'm always going to be biased towards them but I suppose there are reasons why they won. It was a lovely song too but didn't sound like every eurovision song before it.
Powinna wygrać Edyta Górniak...dla mnie to jest największe oszustwo Eurovisia 😤😤😤
Edyta Górniak (second place) was better...
