5 SONGS THAT REMIND YOU OF YOUR MUSE. 

you guys didn’t ask for explanations but its me so of course I’m giving explanations anyways. they’re not strictly in order, just some of the top ones.

Gambling Man by Overtones Not because its ABOUT Sigma but the heavy casino vibes & theme obviously make me think of our favorite manager just by association. But also Luck is a heavy theme with Sigma, especially as the manager when people don’t know he’s in the Decay of Angels and think he’s innocent.

Casuality by Hidden Citizens Especially in light of the recent events? The themes of being another casualty in the ongoing power struggle and wars between factions. Sigma was wholeheartedly going to accept being a casualty when trying to take down the Hunting Dogs, and then with Atsushi scene, and now in meursault? ESPECIALLY FOR THE LINE ‘Know I’ve been here before’ because Nikolai saved him to use his ability just like other people used him for his ability. Here’s the difference. Fyodor offered a DEAL. Nikolai is like you WILL do this :) I cannot state enough how much of a difference this is, especially to Sigma who has been treated like a tool his whole life. A DEAL means a lot to him.

Watch Me Now -  The Phantoms This one might come as a surprise. But I LOVE this one for how Sigma presents himself as the casino manager, and how he’s really blossomed. Sigma telling everyone to watch him, watch what he can do. He went from being a nameless person being trafficked and used all the time to owning the aerial casino, which people would never think he was capable. Sigma lifting his chin to the world and telling it to WATCH HIM. Watch how he gets up and fights despite how the world has kicked him over and over again and tried to break him. Watch him THRIVE. 

Shape of my Heart by Sting  Again, card themes play a lot here for the association. But the song places emphasis of the heart suits over the spades, clubs, or diamonds, because the heart is about EMOTION. The casino isn’t about glamor for sigma. It’s about his HEART, of having a place to belong. The song discusses gambling to FIND something. For Sigma, it’s finding himself, or rather, trying to figure out how he fits into this world he feels alienated from 

Fall from the Sky by Arilena Ara I love love love the themes of flying and falling in this song. It fits SO well for early Sigma, both when he was still captured but also when he was taken in by Fyodor and Nikolai and he was learning how to ‘fly’. Because before that, his wings were held back, words hurt him bad, but he kept it all inside, he STILL keeps his suffering inside tbh. But even though he falls time and time again, he always ends up reaching to the sky because he’s destined to fly. Even when he’s beaten down again, when he has to question everything, even when he’s close to breaking, he keeps going. His HEART survives, battered and bruised but still there.

 Also just as a joke can I say poker face and gimme more. there were so many jokes / edits in the beginning when he was first dropped in 2019, i can find them for you guys if you want but it crosses my mind honestly. There’s a few greek songs too but those are more for ships than individual.

TAGGED BY: @bitterseadrop​ & @kiingsroar​ ( Thank you both !! ) TAGGING: i think everyone’s done this, i was fashionably late. but if not, please feel free to say i tagged you!

First Released Songs

While we wait for the highly anticipated first song release for the new Eurovision season, I want to do a look at the first released songs of Eurovision Seasons! I will be looking at the years 2010-2024 (despite having ranked down to 2008, I have not been able to find which of the songs for those years were released first without extensive research that would be hard to do timewise. I used ESCSamuel's video as a source for this post and you can watch the video here. How each song did is from the Wikipedia pages for their respective years).

2010: Albania was the first to release their song for the 2010 season with "Nuk Mundem Pa Ty" by Juliana Pasha on December 27, 2009. However, this song would later be revamped and translated; a common trend for Albanian entries. This new version of the song, now titled "It's All About You" would finish 16th in the Grand Final that year in Oslo after qualifying in Semi Final 1 by finishing 6th.

2011: Switzerland was the first to release their entry for 2011 with "In Love For A While" by Anna Rossinelli on December 11, 2010. The song would finish 25th in the Grand Final after advancing out of Semi Final 1 by finishing 10th.

2012: Almost a year to the day later, Switzerland would again release the first entry for the 2012 season with "Unbreakable" by Sinplus on December 11, 2011. However, the song would finish 11th in Semi Final 1, missing out on qualifying by 7 points.

2013: 2013 is a strange case. Technically, Belarus would have released the first song with "Rhythm Of My Love" by Alyona Lanskaya on December 7th, 2012. However, unlike the famed revamp we got to know and love, Lanskaya chose to completely change the song, giving us "Solayoh" (16th in Grand Final, 7th in Semi) instead on March 6, 2012. So, the first "official" song goes to Switzerland. Takasa released "You And Me" on December 15, 2012 and the song would go on to finish 13th in Semi Final 2, failing to qualify for the grand final.

2014: Ukraine would break Switzerland's early streak with "Tick-Tock" by Mariya Yaremchuk by releasing it first on December 21, 2013. The song would then undergo a revamp with new lyrics, but the song staying mostly the same otherwise. The song would finish 6th in the Grand Final after finishing 5th in Semi-Final 1.

2015: North Macedonia would become the first to release their song for the 2015 contest on November 12, 2014 with the song "Esenki Lika" by Daniel Kajmakoski. The song would undergo a translation from Macedonian to English for the contest. The English version, titled "Autumn Leaves" would finish 15th in the first Semi-Final, failing to qualify for the Grand Final.

2016: Albania would return to being the first entry released when on December 27, 2015, Eneda Tarifa won the national final with "Përrallë." The song would then go through a translation to English, becoming "Fairytale." The song would end up finishing 16th in the second Semi Final, failing to qualify for the Grand Final.

2017: Albania would continue being the first song released for the second year in a row on December 23, 2016 with "Botë" by Lindita. The song was translated to become "World" and that version (in English) was performed at the contest. The song would finish 14th in the First Semi Final, failing to qualify for the Grand Final.

2018: Exactly one year later, Albania would release the first song for the 2018 contest with Eugent Bushpepa's song "Mall." The song would NOT undergo a translation. The song would finish 11th in the Grand Final after finishing 8th in Semi Final 1.

2019: For the fourth year in a row, Albania would keep up their streak on December 22, 2018 with Jonida Maliqi's "Ktheju Tokës." The song would then go on to finish 17th in the Grand Final after finishing 9th in the second Semi Final.

2020: Despite the 2020 contest being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the songs were still released, so I will continue to honro them. Arilena Ara and "Fall From The Sky" would be released exactly one year after their 2019 entry was released. There is a strange case with this song, though. The song was originally written in English, then translated to Albanian for the national final, and then translated back to English for the contest.

2021: Albania would send their 2021 entry on December 23, 2020 with "Karma" by Anxhela Peristeri. The song would go on to finish 21st in the Grand Final after finishing 10th in the second Semi Final.

2022: Bulgaria would break Albania's 6 year streak of being the first song released on December 5, 2021 with the song "Intention" by Intelligent Music Project. The song would go on to finish 16th in the first Semi Final, failing to qualify for the Grand Final.

2023: After winning Eurovision in 2022, Ukraine was the first to have their song chosen with Tvorchi's "Heart Of Steel" on December 17, 2022. The song would undergo a revamp before the contest, which would bring the reigning winners a 6th place finish in the Grand Final.

2024: On November 8, 2023, France would surprise us with the announcement of Slimane being their representative with the song "Mon Amour" being released hours later. It was a moment you certainly had to be there for. The earliest first song released (so far) would go on to finish 4th in the Grand Final back in May.

Arilena Ara - Dashuria Ime - Giulia Mihai - COVER - Remix

[albanian1019]

Arilena Ara - Dashuria Ime

[b-exie]

Blanca Paloma will not be able to kill maneskin, considering maneskin are part of the Surviving Favs Crew I think, which is a big group, Resulting in Blanca dying an absolute brutal death

Gjon dosen't really fight, he's more of a medicine guy in the Surviving Favs Crew, he takes care of the injured, although Damiano did give him a dagger for "Emergency Situations"

Katya became friends with Vic (This was my irl friend's idea)

Kaarija, Bojan and Joonas will find Arilena Ara all alone in the woods and take her as a squad member

Hear me out

A eurovision AU(Alternative Universe) where c0vid becomes a zombie virus and it turns into a zombie apocalypse

And some eurovision contestants were not able to survive

And the survivors have to find some kind of a cure

I know it's a stupid idea but I cherish it dearly

Im probably going to write something about this

Currently thinking of who to kill there

...

i kinda like it hold on

rafal becomes king of the sewers lmao

alina pash became a zombie and couldnt represent ukraine so kalush stepped up

idk what else
