[forget-me-not-automaton]

This idea hit me like a ten pound brick, so yea here,,

[her-penetrating-soul]

It is the way you hold me. I feel home, cherished, loved & safe within your arms. It is these moments I know life was awaiting to give me you.

A Brokeback Mountain fanvid to "Hold Me Closer" by Cornelia Jakobs Edited by Eiiri

[september-poetry]

to be held

have you ever been held and realise that love is a curse

my hand feel your ribs

your sternum raising to my touch

the scars across your chest matching mine

don't let go

the oxygen makes me choke

just keep me safe

heartbeats softly intertwined

i can't breathe without you

my lungs bleed down your wrists

hold me close

set a fire in my ribcage to keep yourself warm

to be held

is to be loved

to be changed

to be touched

to let them mould your body to their embrace

skin like clay

piece by piece

taken apart and built anew

empty, the release

let me feel your love under my fingertips

my teeth on your skin

intertwined

dog fight

bark at me while i hold on

let me hold on

Eurovision 2022: #03

03. SWEDEN Cornelia Jakobs - “Hold me closer” 4th place

Decade Ranking: 6/79 [Above Monika Liu, below Barbara Pravi]

Reality can sometimes be a big cruel jape. Through providence, Sweden finally send a woman to Eurovision She was selected basically through sheer luck (and thank Vishnu can you imagine how low Sweden would have ranked if they had picked Baggy Anders?) and yet quickly became their best hope for a top 3 since 2012, and rose as a contender, beloved by all. 

She was left stranded in fouth place. 

Seriously, how did Cornelia not win? Yeah I know why (The Circumstances) but honestly it’s moments like *this song* being a *fourth placer* that sometimes call the validity of the contest into question. I honest, hand-on-heart feel that without the invasion everyone would have flocked to the altar to Cornelia and willed her victory into reality. Like, yeah the Chanel stans calculated that -surprise- Spain would have won with a Ukraine WD, but are we really going do indulge their headcanon? Fuck no, and I say this as someone who has just ranked Chanel ahead of Cornelia Jakobs. 

Anyway, we have finally arrived at the final instance of “This was some really good music” on the 2022 ranking. As with many of my faves this year, I felt like Sweden finally did something that they should have done years ago: send a GREAT indie pop song to the contest, one that validates Sweden’s reputation at the contest while simultaneously invalidating the claim that only overproduced, generic-sounding scandi-blandi pop has a shot at winning Mello. 

 And it’s definitely a challenge to be a better ballad than “Hold me closer” - It’s as graceful and poignant as Cornelia Jakobs herself.  Lines such as “So baby bye bye, wish you the best, but most of all I wish that I could love you less”, “you say it isn’t me but when did that ever help” and “so before the sunrise, could you just holllllllllllld me tiiiiiiiiiight” just go through bone and marrow, through sinew and flesh, through heart and soul. 

The Real Songs of this world don’t have “socially relevant” or "academic” topics - they turn the most banal, universal feelings and make them feel special. Cornelia delivered her message with such a rawness, with such a fatalistic truth I’m longer flesh and bone when I give Hold Me Closer a listen. I’m a marshmallow man. 

Because I went there. We ALL went there. Everybody who has ever loved and has felt unloved has went there, which is everyone. When Cornelia sings from the heart, truthfully and unpretentiously, she speaks for us, and that’s #Powerful.

So why only third? Well, two things. First of all, while I love the staging (Cornelia slamming a giant hoop, then fruitlessly begging the crowd for affection 😭😭😭) , the performances are Melfest were better. The first ever live performance of Hold Me Closer was its best, and Sweden never managed to recreate the same feeling of magic in Turin, despite being one of the few countries to be fully unaffected by the Kinetic Sun. 

And secondly, I usually do rank my indie weirdo’s first, so why not change it up? In Corpore Sano and SloMo are not as good as songs, sure, but Eurovision is a Live Performance Contest first, and only a Song Contest second. And thank fuck it is, because otherwise the stage show would hold no relevance of its own and we would just be ranking music videos. 

Still, there’s only one truth to Hold Me Closer and that is this:

Tattoo will do better in Liverpool and this is something we should ALL feel a little bit uneasy about.  🙂

The Ranking.
