Ahrana Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) ℹ️ IC topic Prologue Like in the first EurthVision Contest we had as a community in 2018, and then in 2019, We are looking to bring it back for this year. We have not had a contest in a few years since, but thanks to a few people in Staff and so forth we are trying once again to bring the contest back. So, shall we get started with a few things for this round of EVSC? The Host The Host has been decided and the Country host and city is, Havsborg, Ahrana. The winner of this contest will hold the next EVSC as the Host Nation. The contest will take place at the National Havsborg FC Arena in the sports district. The timeline of this event will take place during March-April with the contest likely ending at the end of April. The host nation is responsible for the collection of votes and tally's which must be done so by the second to last week of April so that the winner can be announced. Signup If you wish to participate in the EurthVision Song Contest you must first sign up! Do so by using the form below, there is no official cutoff date for the signups as to allow everyone who wishes to participate to be given time to decide and do what must be done for the contest. (If you need help just ask!) Quote Nation Name: Your nation's name goes here.Official Broadcaster: Your official broadcaster for EV goes here.Song Title: The IC Song title goes here. In case you want to have a national final, please put National Final here. Artist(s) Name(s): The name of your act goes here. Same as with the song, put National Final here if you plan on having one.Tune: The real life tune you're basing your song on goes here, please provide a link as well as the name of the tune.Lyrics: The lyrics to your song, must be 80% original as discussed. It's not a problem if you don't have them right away, just ensure you have them here by the time the IC thread opens up. Roleplay The contest is based upon the Eurovision Song Contest: nations will RP the performance of their song. We require you to write your own lyrics for the song you enter into EurthVision; the melody you use is entirely yours to choose and should, for ease, be linked in your sign up and in your eventual IC post. YouTube is generally preferred. 80% of your song has to be original and translating lyrics, from French to English as an example, doesn't count as original lyrics. The 80% is a fair number as it allows you to keep repetitive bits like the occasional 'yeah yeah', 'nah nah nah' and such without being disqualified. Nations are free to choose to host a national final, like I myself did last year, or internally select their representative. It's encouraged to use your nation's language, although you're free to write in English or any other language. Do try to provide an English translation however, if you decide to write in a different language. Voting Once the IC thread has been posted, nations will submit songs before the deadline (which I will post once the cut-off date for signups and such has been established). After the deadline, nations may not edit or alter their song or performance in any way. This is to keep it fair to everyone. After the deadline, nations vote. Last year, we divided 20 points (IC'ly split between 10 from the audience at home, 10 from a professional jury of musicians and such from your nation) among each other's acts. In case the amount of nations joining in stays under 10, I suggest we keep to that method of voting. In case 10 or more join in, which I obviously hope, I suggest we change the voting into ranking their top ten songs in the following format of 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 points. Votes will be sent to me via PM here or on Discord and kept secret until the final reveal either way. You may not vote on yourself and every nation that posted a song has to vote. Official Thread I will create a non-OCC Thread where the EurthVision Song Contest will be taking place outside this OCC Thread in the Entertainment area of the forum. For now, voice your opinions here, ask questions, and whatever else you may need to do, and also SIGN UP!! Edited May 11 by Orioni added IC topic link (see edit history) 6 Link to comment

Ahrana Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 (edited) Nation Name: Ahrana Official Broadcaster: Telecom Broadcasting Networks Moskovo Song Title: Við skulum falla Artist(s) Name(s): Stefani Olesson & Einar Gustovsson Tune: Haustið Lyrics: (See Below) Quote English: I don't give much for the Autum, Because I know as well as you, That change is not free, That we see worse in the dark, And don not find many solutions, Because the collapse, the trust we built is now gone, Just like leaves fall in autumn, We fall in love in the Autumn, We fall in love in the Autumn, It usually rains horizontally in the Autumn, Because with our eyes open, we will see our hallucinations, We let jealousy come in and twist our words to create our wounds, Yes, the words are left unsaid! We look at each other with awe, But with the collapse, the trust we built is now gone, Just like leaves fall in autumn, We fall in love in the Autumn, We fall in love in the Autum, As the colors Start to fade as with time, And to us nothing will ever happen again, And even though I know I should fall asleep without you, I know it feels impossible without you, But thought I would never say this to you, But our paths do not run parallel, So let us both fall both in love in Autumn, Just like leaves fall in the Autumn, We fall in love in the Autumn, Because of the collapse, the trust we built is now gone, Just like leaves fall in autumn, We fall in love in the Autumn, We fall in love in the Autumn. Norðurskandi (Icelandic): Ég gef ekki mikið fyrir Haustið, Vegna þess að ég veit eins vel og þú, Að breytingin er ekki ókeypis, Að við sjáum verr í myrkrinu, Og finnum ekki margar lausnir, Vegna þess að hrunið, traustið sem við byggðum er nú horfið , Rétt eins og lauf falla á haustin, Við verðum ástfangin á haustin, Við verðum ástfangin á haustin, Það rignir venjulega lárétt á haustin, Vegna þess að með augun opin munum við sjá ofskynjanir okkar, Við látum afbrýðisemina koma inn og snúa orðum okkar til að búa til sár okkar, Já, orðin eru ósögð! Við horfum á hvort annað með lotningu, En með hruninu, er traustið sem við byggðum upp núna horfið, Rétt eins og lauf falla á haustin, Við verðum ástfangin á haustin, Við verðum ástfangin á haustinu, Þegar litirnir byrja að dofna eins og með tímanum, Og fyrir okkur mun aldrei gerast aftur, Og þó ég viti að ég ætti að sofna án þín, þá veit ég að það líður ómögulegt án þín, En hélt að ég myndi aldrei segja þetta við þig, En leiðir okkar liggja ekki saman , Svo skulum við bæði verða ástfangin á haustin, Rétt eins og laufin falla á haustin, Við verðum ástfangin á haustin, Vegna hrunsins, er traustið sem við byggðum núna farið, Rétt eins og laufin falla á haustin, Við fallum ástfangin á haustin, Við verðum ástfangin á haustin.

Il gazouille, le Chat Tricéphale Au félin mondain, rendez-vous Chœurs : Au Chat Tricéphale Au Chat Tricéphale Au Chat Tricéphale Au Chat Tricéphale Milles couleurs, et queue de paon Pour les danseuses, qu’elles sont sublimes ! Pattes effilées et air de chatons Elles font craquer les plus beaux étalons C’est alors qu’entre le chanteur, Suivi de son fidèle chœur, Costard et guêtres, micro en main, Nous envoie au ciel par ses refrains [Refrain] Chœurs : Il rythme nos nuits Il rythme nos nuits Il rythme nos nuits Il rythme nos nuits La foule enthousiaste fredonne l’air Puis acclame unie, comme une voix Voyant cela, le troubadour S’incline et part, sous le tabac Spectacle suivant : Madame Burlesque Un peu osé, mais ils adorent Monsieur le Duc en veut encore Croquerait la dame, presque ! [Refrain] Chœurs : Emplie nos désirs Emplie nos désirs Emplie nos désirs Emplie nos désirs Un collant, envoyé à l’auditoire Monsieur le Duc l’intercepte La Marquise n’est point d’accord Elle se lève dire un mot à la belle L’épaule démise et des bleus partout La burlesque ne plaît plus du tout La Marquise jalouse a été fatale Il est vrai que le jazz n’est pas toujours moral [Refrain] Chœur : Au Chat Tricéphale, nous vous attendons. English version : The limousines, in front, park The red carpet, a velvet tongue The doors open, they let enter Into the yawning mouth of the tricky cat Bourbon, cigars and petits fours The All-Belleville, far from the backyards At the green light, the curtains discover A great orchestra with thousands of brass Refrain: He purrs, the Three-headed Cat Dances the jazz, meow ! He chirps, the Three-headed Cat To the wurldly feline, rendezvous Chorus : At the Three-headed Cat At the Three-headed Cat At the Three-headed Cat At the Three-headed Cat A thousand colours, and a peacock's tail For the dancers, they are sublime ! Tapered paws and kitten air They make crack the most beautiful seducers It is then that the singer enters, Followed by his devoted choir, Suit and spats, microphone in hand, Sends us to heaven with his refrains [Refrain] Chorus : He rhythms our nights He rhythms our nights He rhythms our nights He rhythms our nights The enthusiastic crowd whispers the tune Then cheers as one, like a voice Seeing this, the troubadour Bows and leaves, under the success Next show: Madame Burlesque A little bold, but they love it Mister the Duke wants some more Would devour the lady, almost ! [Refrain] Chorus: Fills our desires Fills our desires Fills our desires Fills our desires A tights, sent to the audience Mister the Duke intercepts it The Marchioness does not agree She gets up to say a word to the beautiful A dislocated shoulder and bruises everywhere The burlesque does not please any more The jealous Marchioness was fatal It's true that jazz is not always moral [Refrain] Chorus: At the Three-headed Cat, we are waiting for you.
