Daniel Levi, who reached the final of the Estonian Song Contest, is trying to enter the Eurovision Song Contest with his children’s dream song. In the program “Hommik Anuga” Levi admitted that although it may not seem like the best idea to participate in a competition where you have to sing a song with lullabies for children, his heart is satisfied.
This year, Estonian Song sent five artists directly to the final for the first time, and Brother Apollo, Carlos Ukareda, Daniel Levi, Nele-Liis Vaiksoo and Uudo Sepp and Sarah Murray did not have to fight for the final place in the semifinals. the final.
“It was incredibly nice to watch the semi-final, it’s not that stressful, but I would have liked to be on stage a bit,” Uudo Sepp recalled at last weekend’s semi-final.
“I didn’t miss the moment when the heart-pounding music starts and the finalists are announced. Then it was really nice to just sit,” agrees Daniel Levi, who enters the competition with the sleep song “Over the Moon” wrote for His sons.
“Maybe it doesn’t seem like the best idea to come to the competition, where you have to sing and dance, with a children’s lullaby, but I still have peace in my heart for coming with such a song,” said the musician, who still every evening he sings his song to the children.
Nele-Liis Vaiksoo’s song “Käte umer jä” is dedicated to her late brother. “I’ve often been told that it’s like a love song. In a way it’s a love song, but it’s not for someone who just doesn’t want to be with you, but for someone who’s already gone from here to other side,” the singer said. “Sometimes I still wake up at night and think about him.”
According to Vaiksoo, however, it is a story with a brilliant idea that reminds us of the people we hold in our hearts. “I still meet him secretly in my mind, our hands are connected, we can’t touch each other anymore,” he told her.
“Newer Growing Up” by Carlos Ukareda is about a relationship with many ups and downs. “Despite this, love remains,” he noted, adding that the title chosen for the song is a bit ironic. “Arguments and compromises happen many times in a relationship and in the meantime the question arises: when will we finally grow up?”
Uudo Sepp, who will take the stage with Sarah Murray from Norway, first heard her competition song “Still Love” while selling books in America. “I had the feeling that it sounded so good inside me. Then I already heard Sarah’s version, she sent me a video when I was in America and I was running between the houses there, and then I felt that it would be good,” recalled the singer.
The final of the Estonian Song will be held on February 17th in the ice hall of Tondiraba.
