Denmark Wants to Believe

Niels Brinck Once again Denmark raises the bar at the Eurovision with an accomplished performance by Niels Brinck and his song Believe Again, co-written by former Boyzone member Ronan Keating. Unfortunately it has next to no chance at the Eurovision.

The Song Contest has long ago ceased to be purely about the quality of the song and its lyrics - being a Television show, the performance is just as important, if not more so. And this is where Niels' group falls down. His Stage Show dispenses with all visual embellishments - no dancers, few background graphics, in fact few visual stimuli at all which leads to boring television. Despite the good song, they will be lucky to progress past the Semi Final.

Music/Lyrics: Lars Halvor Jensen, Martin Michael Larsson, Ronan Keating

You made it so easy to fall
I could not stand at all
I saw you beside me
You never saw me there at all

I promised you all this
I made plans thinking this was it
I never imagined I’d find you
Lose myself instead

I never had a picture of an end

And I… I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger
Than the two of us, yeah…
I… I wanna breathe again
I wanna go back to the days
The days I had my innocence
I wanna believe again

I picked up the pieces
And put them back where they belong
But something is missing
Though I look the same, I’m not as strong
But I’m gonna learn to trust again

And I… I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger
Than the two of us (The two of us)
And I… I wanna breathe again
I wanna go back to the days
The days I had my innocence
I wanna believe again

For without love, what do we become?
I never had a picture of an end

And I… I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger
Than the two of us (The two of us)
I… I wanna breathe again
I wanna believe
I wanna believe
I wanna believe again
