How wrathful she was, when her plan did fall short
When I was the favorite of all the king's court
She gave me fur, ashen and plain
Alone in the forests I'd always remain
And I'll never be whole, at least not until
From my brother's blood I've had my fill

I usually don't care about Eurovision or Melodi Grand Prix, but this year I had to tune in. I got so excited in the national finale that I nearly puked. I don't even know how to adequately express my excitement in a way that isn't AAAAAAAAAAAAA HLDFHJLDDGHJKLGBKHDGBKBDGKD. The Eurovision fandom has been so enthusiastic so far and it's an absolute joy to see :'D Love seeing people discovering and appreciating this band! <3
I'm just kinda worn out so I'm gonna end it here. Why do all my words leave me when the time comes to write a description?

One of the many weird/unpopular things im obsessed with is so called sovietwave music. It's an electronic/synthwave genre, primarily inspired by nostalgia for the Soviet Union and its grand future that never came.
Apart from just sounding good, it's dripping with vibes. The longing for the utopian world never to be born. The sadness of the many who lost the way of life they had grown up with. The unkillable hope that it may return, and that the dreamed futures of the past would one day be the present.
Even if you don't like this type of music, have a listen. I promise it's worth it.
