A Successful Yet Underrated Entry

One of the truly magical things about Eurovision is the fact that we get to see different perspectives of a song and differing opinions and rankings with the variety of songs we receive every year.

For today's post, I would like to focus on one entry in particular that while it finished rather well, I find it underrated to me. This entry being Norway's entry from the 2014 contest held in Copenhagen.

From the Wikipedia article, the song ("Silent Storm" by Carl Espen) won Melodi Grand Prix, going on to finish 7th in the semi-final, and finally sealing an 8th place finish in the Grand Final. And if I recall, I ranked it rather high in my 2014 rankings.

The song is incredibly beautiful, taking interpretations in different directions (I see some mental health undertones in this song), and I do think that it deserved the results it got. So, how exactly did it do in the contest?

Looking on Wikipedia, "Silent Storm" did NOT get any 12 points in either the Semi or Grand Final, the highest score coming in the form of 10 points from Finland in the Semi and the Netherlands in the Grand. The lowest was 2 points from Switzerland in the Semi and 3 countries (Austria, Iceland, and Romania) gave the song 1 point in the Grand Final.

But what about the reception? The song was a favorite to win in 2014 and was very well received, even gaining appreciation from 2013 winner Emmelie de Forest (Wikipedia). And at the end, we certainly got a great song that year that runs on emotions.

Wewnątrz mnie trwa cicha burza, Szukając domu, mam nadzieję, że ktoś mnie odnajdzie i powie, że do czegoś przynależę. Będę czekać wiecznie, całe życie, by dowiedzieć się, że nie jestem sam. A wewnątrz mnie trwa cicha burza, ale pewnego dnia się uspokoję...

Carl Espen - "Silent storm"

ever lovely, wonderful, and most talented miss/mr anonymous what are ur thoughts on drawing satoshoko in this way 👀? (if u graciously decide to take this request on pls pls pls choose the 1st one 😭)

I had a sketch started a while ago that I never finished. It's not exactly what you asked for but I hope you still like it. I'm glad i picked it up again, I'm a sucker for clingy!Satoru and I think if anybody would let Gojo relax like that without finding him annoying or obnoxious it would be Shoko

#i can see him storming into the infirmary #annoying the shit out of shoko #rambling and rambling and rambling #while she moves around him finishes her stuff picks up a report takes off her lab coat and sits down #and without any words spocken she pats her lap and satoru silently tail wags as he walks over to sit on the ground #she places the labcoat around him puts one hand in his hair and for the rest of the evening he shuts up as he gets lulled to sleep #shoko gets to do her work and he gets the rest he needed #puzzle pieces IM TELLING YOU #satoshoko #satosho #shoko ieiri #gojo satoru #jjk #fanart #also i just gotta mention that mr/mrs anonymous sent my fucking rolling with laughter #thank you for that

I watched the trailer and immediately made up a fanfic in my head based on 0.75 seconds in which we were shown the Decepticon high command

#transformers #transformers one #d-16 #megatron #soundwave #starscream #the fanfic in question #Starscream Soundwave and Shockwave began an armed secret uprising BEFORE they met D-16 but were not called Decepticons #and who the hell knows if they had higher goals #Starscream was the leader #Optimus and Megatron will encounter them somewhere around halfway through the movie Optimus will try to invite them to team up #Starscream will say lmao fuck you loser #Megatron probably would have been silent the entire conversation #and Starscream was like whatever we are leaving #Soundwave and Megatron look into each other's optics #the spark the storm the madness #and the passionate make out/j #love triangle? more like love pentagram #im manifesting megasound so hard

forgot to ever post this here but i had the most fucked dream the other night and i had to draw it

#it was so vivid.#bill gets to wake up from it here but in my dream ford was just like.. actually dead #it was wild. i love when i pray for dreams relating to my hyperfixes and this is the kind of shit my brain provides #um #billford #tw decapitation #tw mild gore #fucked up #yes it was specifically the mr bill pines bill and ford #my art #personally im a big fan of how i drew the other bill and ford #dream context: i bought a new apartment and invited friends over for a housewarming party and i guess i was just casually friends with #multiple bills and fords. pretty sick tbh. but in my dream i remember just like walking around the party and then coming up to join their #conversation just in time to witness this happen. i remember that the entire apartment went completely silent and i literally vividly #remember the sound fords body made when it hit the floor and then bill spent the rest of the dream freaking out trying to reverse time or #revive ford. i cant actually remember if he ever managed to figure it out bc my dream just devolved into something completely unrelated #about a storm suddenly hitting and the river in the backyard of this apartment started to flood and i became a lot more worried about that #ive been having some. interesting dreams as of late.#ANYWAYS #um. ask to tag #just in case

glanced at our local newspaper, literally on the cover page a piece about a thing honoring the israel victims, right under it a bigger piece calling the pro palestine protests in berlin "disgusting displays of terrorist worshippers" and the author "wishing for a quick victory of israel over the terrorists" my parents dont use social media, my dad can barely use a modern TV, newspaper, radio and TV are the only thing they get their info from and this is what they read every day

hell world

#ganondoodles talks #free palestine #i cant even blame them for having a totally wrong view of everything #though they dont want to talk #i mentioned my disgust at that newspaper article and he silently stormed off to bring me a nice article about sharks #...#talking has never been easy in this family #i doubt i can get them to agree to listen to me

so carry me from these walls, brother of mine

#going with colored sketches for now augh....#what if whenever kel had a nightmare hero would keep him company and play with him until he falls asleep #and kel cld always rely on his brother to help him see reason and to soothe the storm inside his head #tonight kel wakes up from another nightmare. tears in his eyes sweat dampening his shirt etc. but his brother remains unresponsive #kel wonders if hero gets nightmares of.. mari. and was too depressed to even react strongly about it. always crying silently barely moving #so he curls up beside hero in his bed and makes himself comfortable there #kel wld provide him comfort even if hero wont ask for it #but as time passes kel painfully realizes that he too missed the home he once had in his brother #omori kel #omori hero #kel omori #hero omori #omori #omori fanart #fanart #my art
