Eurovision 2004 - Number 44 - Rūta Ščiogolevaitė - "Over"

This isn't Rūta Ščiogolevaitė's first dance at a Lithuanian national final, but this is the beginning of a remarkable run of five entries over the next twelve years in which she is never out of the top five. Who is Rūta? From the age of 14, she's been taking singing lessons at a conservatoire in Vilnius. She's been touring and singing all over the world throughout her student years. She's been collaborating with other Lithuanian musicians and singing backing vocals. By 2004, she was on the cusp of becoming one of the more well-known singers in Lithuania.

In 1999, she took part in the first Lithuanian national selection show, but on that occasion she didn't make it into the top four. After five years refining her craft, she's back with a song written by the same group of Estonians who are also busy writing songs for Euro Laul this year...

Over is power pop that at times threatens to deploy some of the hooks of Call Me Maybe seven years before that song was written, but backs off that into a 1980s-infused vocal showcase for Rūta. She's got it. Even if she's pushing her voice to the limits of the power notes it can handle, she's proves she can sing this material with confidence. She is a performer who knows how to handle a stage. The magnitude of her presence far exceeds everyone else in Eurovizijos Atranka this year.

The jury wanted her. They placed her first of all the acts. However, the televote were besotted with a big name band and quirkier performances. They placed her fifth leaving her in a three-way tie for first place.

I have no idea what the tie-break rule was. The act that came third was the one the televoters wanted. Rūta was the judges choice and came second. The act that came second with both won the tie-break. It may well have been decided by running order with the earlier performance winning. Rūta lost to the the ultimate compromise candidate, and subsequently Lithuania finished 16th in the first Eurovision semi-final.

Eurovizijos Atranka this year was her launch pad. By 2007, and her next appearance in the national final, she had been voted Lithuania's Brightest Star and had the biggest radio hit of that year. Despite all this success Rūta never won Eurovizijos Atranka. She hasn't represented Lithuania at Eurovision and remains of the bigger national final secrets. Her last attempt came in 2016 (after declaring in 2011 she wouldn't return) by which time she'd been a judge on the Lithuanian X Factor, won the Lithuanian Masked Singer and has been a mentor on the Lithuanian Voice.

So Lithuania are sending Monika Linkytė to Eurovision with Stay! I did not see this result coming, and honestly, for me this is a bit of a let-down. I thought this final had so many great, interesting songs and then the one in tenth place in my ranking ended up winning! Not that I dislike this song at all, I liked every song in the final on some level, but it made the least impression on me. The Lithuanian folk influence was nice, but other than that it sounds like a very typical, not particularly memorable pop song to my ears. Maybe my opinion on it will change now I��ll give it the attention it deserves as a Eurovision entry. Monika is also a great singer, so I’m sure she’ll do Lithuania proud in May.

中文歌词/Chinese Lyrics

translated by me

喂喂、拉脱维亚 (你一个人真的好吗？）

喂喂、爱沙尼亚 （你在干什么！？）

在他找到我之前我度过的时光

我不知道我是否还记得

��荡荡的宫殿 那是地球

那可怕的地下室 那是地球

就像一个地牢 那是地球，好吧……

但我仍然是立陶宛！

终有一天我会逃离

我不在乎付出什么代价

有些东西值得抛弃

而我仍然是立陶宛……

啊啊 一笔绘出的一个空虚世界

不知我该身在何处

我想念波罗的海三国……

（你让我唱这首歌，你到底想从我这里得到什么！？）

“我只是来拜访王子的，我们的关系还不错。"

"好吧，如果你也同意他需要出去的话……”

看看他的仆人，那是地球

彩色玻璃窗，那是地球

世界从来就不是为我而造的 不是吗？

但我仍然是立陶宛！

（如果波兰没事，我也会没事的）

有时我想知道我的世界会是什么样子

如果我总是一个人

我渴望独立，但也许……

无论如何 我是立陶宛！

我不太喜欢我的其他邻居

我忍不住嫉妒他们

我被迫等待更好的日子

宇宙一定一直在考验我……

（让我好好活啊，该死的！）

为了克服过去的悲剧

你需要有一个更好的现在

我真的没有那种特权

但至少有人在帮助我一点

我的波兰！

喂喂、拉脱维亚 （请严肃一点-）

喂喂、爱沙尼亚 （你怎么很少和我们在一起？）

我不得不怀疑……

爱沙除了自己还认识谁吗？

我国家的国花 Rūta（芸香）

也许我应该把它带到波兰？

他是我最好的朋友

我只希望他能好起来

他有点爱发牢骚，但也没那么糟糕

无论如何，我是立陶宛

（我希望他现在能陪我到最后…）

日复一日，事情从未改变

岁月最终模糊了

我只是被当作傀儡对待

但我想我辜负了我的名字

在我的梦里，我终于感到自由了

所以生活很苦乐参半

但我一直在等着见到切斯瓦夫

我终于可以在他身边微笑了

English Lyrics

written by @/lightworknoreaction (original)

Hey hey Aleks, are you really better off alone..?

Hey hey Maksim, what are you up to now!?

The times I spent before he found me,

I don't know if I still remember them. 

The empty palace, there's the earth

That awful basement, there's the earth

It's like a dungeon, that's the earth, alright..

But still, I'm Lithuania. 

I'll escape some day

I don't care what it takes

There's some things worth leaving behind

And still, I'm Lithuania.. 

Ah, an empty world

Portrayed in only a few strokes

I don't really know where I'm meant to be

I miss the Baltic Sea..

("You asked me to sing this, so what the hell do you want from me!?") 

"I'm only here to visit the prince, we're on good enough terms.

"Right, if even you agree he needs to go outside.." 

See his servants, there's the earth

Stained glass windows, there's the earth

This world was never made for me, was it?

But still, I'm Lithuania.

("If Poland's fine, I'll be alright too.") 

Sometimes I wonder how my world would look

If I was always alone

I crave independence, but maybe..

Anyway, I'm Lithuania 

I'm not very fond of my other neighbors

I can't help but be jealous of them

I'm forced to wait for better days

The universe must always be testing me..

("Just let me live, damnit!") 

To get over past tragedies

You need to have a better present

I don't really have that privilege

But at least someone's helping me a bit

Hey, Czesław! 

Hey hey Aleks, please be a bit more serious-

Hey hey Maksim, how come you're rarely with us? 

I have to wonder..

Does Lat know anyone but himself? 

My nation's herb, the Rūta

Maybe I should bring them to Poland? 

The thing is, he's my best friend

I just hope he can get better

He's kinda whiny, but it's not that bad

Anyway, I'm Lithuania

("I hope he'll stay with me until the end now..") 

Day by day, things never change

The years blur together eventually

I'm just treated like a puppet

But I guess I live up to my name 

In my dreams, I finally feel free

So life's pretty bittersweet

But I'm always waiting to see Czesław

I can finally smile around him

"Gold! 🥇London Olympic champion Rūta Meilutytė defended her world champion title! Lithuanian swimmer triumphed in Budapest, Hungary, in the 50 m breaststroke final of the World Championship (not in Olympic short 25 meter pool). 27-year-old Lithuanian completed the distance in 28.54 sec."

Eurovision 2002 - Number 30 - Rūta Lukoševičiūtė - "Hello"

Eurovizijos Atranka 2002 was only the third Lithuanian national final and already it has developed its own, idiosyncratic style. It's refreshingly varied, with acts you just wouldn't find in other national finals - even if the quality of those acts is patchy.

An example of this is perennial Lithuanian hopeful Rūta Lukoševičiūtė. 2002 is her second attempt after falling well short in 2001. After this she tried three more times throughout the 2000s, and after that, she turned to songwriting with more entries in the early 2010s. She's famous not so much for singing but writing, voicing and presenting Lithuania's premier comedy hidden camera show VRS Kamera.

Hello demonstrates her raspy singing style and laconic stage presence, with tale of a man who likes living by himself just fine. He's so OK with his mess, solitary life that he's reluctant to answer Rūta's incessant phone calls. Just let him be Rūta! It's a simple song delivered in an arresting magenta ensemble that would be hectoring if it weren't for the mid-1990s guitar setting that lends an accelerating intensity and allows us to feel that we're going somewhere. It's fun and even if the build doesn't quite get there, the air of light-hearted criticism and complaint feels distinctly British.

Given her long history of entering Eurovizijos Atranka and writing songs for it, Rūta Lukoševičiūtė may well appear again in my top 48s, although the fifth place finish that this song achieved is her best result in the national final by quite some margin. She did release an album off the back of this songs and also took part in other music festivals around Europe including in Italy and Türkiye

This might be one of my more sillier asks. But any headcanons on pets of your fave characters. E.g Poland's horses?

Since the one thing I can't deal with is animals dying i make them all immortal.

Ivan

Cat person but is fine with dogs

He sees dogs as useful but cats as more of pets

His cat is the type to just flop on people's faces

His cat doesn't care if Lithuania claims to dislike cats Russia's cat will still fall asleep on top of lithuania

Feliks

Feliks thinks he likes nature like Lithuania but he definitely is not

Large animals freak him out especially dogs

I could see him legitimately afraid of dogs.

I think an incident with an attack dog would definitely leave him fearful of dogs (Feliks i definitely see as one who has been on the run so I can see this hypothetically)

Definitely more of a cat person i mean obviously it's his motif to contrast Liet's dog motif

Poland's the type to randomly take home some random ass cat he finds in a dumpster ( I wrote a fic about this though)

He likes horses of course

He likes horses because he can interact and form a relationship with each individual horse.

Also he can braid their hair

They all have either dumb as heck names or have regular polish names that you'd name a person

He is probably better with dealing with horses than people. Horses he can figure out people are more complicated

He has winged hussar figurines on his desk that he plays with

Tolys

Definitely had horse themed toys as a small child (idk what toys they had from the 8-12 centuries ish but yeah) listen remember the Halloween episode and him and that toy horse?

Claims he hates cats... This is a lie.

Look at him and his doggo

I like the name Rūta for his dog

The one thing Liet and Gil can agree on definitely is dogs

Tolys will bring in any animal he finds that needs help

He knows what it's like for no one to be there in one's time of need so he wants to be there for these animals

Vaidas Žemaitis. Rūtos Janutienės dugnas: balsuotojus už Eduardą Vaitkų išvadino "jedinstva" (video)

“OpTV” laidos vedėja Rūta Janutienė, pasikvietusi kandidatą į LR Prezidentus Eduardą Vaitkų, visais įmanomais būdais bandė iš jo išsityčioti, o jo rinkėjus išvadino “jedinstva”. Tokio agresyvaus Janutienės puolimo prieš pašnekovą dar neteko matyti – pašnekovui nebuvo leista atsakyti nei į vieną klausimą. Be to, Janutienė sau į pagalbą pasitelkė dar daugiau žmonių(Naglį Puteikį, Euriką Masytę,…
