Originally posted by clackers I liked 'After the Storm' or whatever it was they did at Eurovision 2014.
Simple and straightforward, no sequins, wind machines or transgender performers anywhere, very un-Eurovision, and naturally they lost. :-)
It's called "Calm After The Storm". Yeah, it was nice. We almost won.
The Eurovision song contest is riddled with politics though. Ukraine got lots of votes due to the situation on Crimea at the time.
I really like Ilse DeLange. Even before The Common Linnets, she was really well known here in The Netherlands, but I think not so much abroad. I do like her country songs more than rock, so I'm glad The Common Linnets kind of returns to that.
Anyway, just reinstalled the Spotify app after activating the premium trial and setting streaming quality to "extreme". Sound quality seems to be good now.
Currently listening to the album "The Last Ship" by Sting.
