This song brings back so many memories! :D

It was my first time ever watching Eurovision and it's still one of my favorite Eurovision songs. I am from Serbia and even though we took second place that year, nobody here was mad Ruslana taking the first place.

Thanks for sharing this one! :)

    "It was my first time ever watching Eurovision and it's still one of my favorite Eurovision songs"

    that's true in my case as well. Ruslana's show was great.

    "..nobody here was mad Ruslana taking the first place."
    yeah, As far as I can see, at that time (2004) Eurovision was -> a talent contest
    and Ruslana (Ukraine) won it with the help of her talent.
    However, 12 years later (or earlier, with the introduction of professional jury voting in 2009) when Ukraine won again ("1944" by Jamala),
    I believe the contest turned into -> a political contest
    Hence, I stooped paying much attention to the Eurovision,
    but I'm glad I have some good memories as well )

      Yes, it turned into a political contest. I still watch the performances just to see if I can find some cool songs to listen to but I think that songs were so much better before. :)
