Coming from Iceland, its not often you get a chance to be a proud. Yesterday was a pleasant exception when Yohanna got the well deserved second place in the European Song Contest.
Yohanna (Jóhanna in Icelandic) sings from her heart and performs like she was born on stage. No fear.
Enjoy!
There has been talk about the lyrics being a description of the crisis in Iceland, so I included the text. Phrases like “Falling out of a perfect dream” and “Did I throw it away?” are certainly suspect.
You can be the judge:
Is it true?
You say you really know me
You’re not afraid to show me
What is in your eyes
So tell me ’bout the rumors
Are they only rumors?
Are they only lies?Falling out of a perfect dream
Coming out of the blueIs it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (Was it you?)
Did you tell me
You would never leave me this way?If you really knew me
You couldn’t do this to me
You would be my friend
If one of us is lying
There’s no use in trying
No need to pretendFalling out of a perfect dream
Coming out of the blueIs it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (Was it you?)
Did you tell me
You would never leave me this way?Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (Was it you?)
Did you tell me
You would never leave me this way?(Is it real? Did I dream it?)
Will I wake from this pain?
Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Baby, did I throw it away?Ooh… is it true?
