BBC unveiled the British song, a beautiful ballad I personally loved, but it is so un-Eurovision-like, it baffles
"Love Will Set You Free"
So graceful and pure
A smile bathed in light
No matter the distance
A miracle of sight
Though I should have known
I could not turn away
When faced with your beauty
No reasons can stay
As you kiss him
In the moonlight
With heavy words I say
If you love someone
Follow your heart
Cause love comes once
If you’re lucky enough
Though I’ll miss you forever
The hurt will run deep
Only love can set you free
Trust in your dream
Run with no fear
And if you should stumble
Remember I’m near
As a ghost I will walk
And look deep in my soul
I might find another
You give me that hope
So as you kiss him
In the moonlight
With heavy words I say
If you love someone
Follow your heart
Because love comes
If your’e lucky enough
Though I’ll miss you forever
And the hurt will run deep
Only love can set you free
And if you love someone
Follow your heart
Cause love comes once if you’re lucky enough
Though I’ll miss you forever
The hurt will run deep
Love will set you free

Now that all the songs have been chosen, the previews and promotional videos are trickling in and some countries are presenting their official music videos.
IRELAND
Here is a preview video (probably not the official), but still fun to watch and listen to
"Jedward - "Waterline"
Lyrics
WATERLINE
Flood gates, can’t wait
Here she comes, shut’em fast
Better shut’em fast
Too late, swept away
Feel the rush after the fact
Coming up beneath me
Never been in love so
Deeply before
I am close to the waterline
I thought that I’d been over my head
For the last time
I’m so close to the waterline
And the way I’m loving her now
I know this is bound to go down as the big one.
Whistle blast, lights flash
Throw a rope, grab a hold
Feel the undertow
She laughs, waves crash
What’s the use I can’t let her go
Coming up beneath me
Never been in love so
Deeply before
I am close to the waterline
I thought that I’d been over my head
For the last time
I’m so close to the waterline
And the way I’m loving her now
I know this is bound to go down as the big one.
Flood gates, can’t wait
Here she comes, shut’em fast
Better shut’em fast
Too late, swept away
Feel the rush
I am close to the waterline
And the way I’m loving her now
I know this is bound to go down as the one
I am close to the waterline
I thought that I’d been over my head
For the last time
I’m so close to the waterline
And the way I’m loving her now
I know this is bound to go down as the big one.

I was born in distant 1980
The year that Irish Johnny Logan won
Thirty years or more, they still remember
So dream away, today’s the day I’m singing my song
When I join this grand parade of winners
And will make this song a worldwide hit
I will buy, oh, my own mic to sing in
And all the jobs I had before I’m surely gonna quit
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and plays on and on
Beautiful song that everybody hums and everybody loves
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and plays on and on
Beautiful song that everybody hums and everybody loves
My mamma said to grow and be a singer
My dad just smiled and gave me my guitar
I did my best and I’ll be so much better
Brightest and the highest of the very furthest stars
And on the day when Sir Mick Jagger phones me
Tell him please that I am very busy
Writing brand new songs for Paul McCartney
“So sorry Mick, I’ll call you back,
one day I’ll call you back”
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and plays on and on
Beautiful song that everybody hums and everybody loves
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and plays on and on
Beautiful song that everybody hums and everybody loves

I gotta to say what’s on my mind
When I’m with you I feel alright
You call me baby, we spend the night
I’m so addicted, I feel alive
Over and over I’m falling
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You make me dance, dance like a maniac
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You make me want your aphrodisiac
You make me want your aphrodisiac
I think about you all the time
I just can’t get you off my mind
You drive me crazy, you drive me wild
You’re so addictive, there’s no way out
Over and over I’m falling
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You make me dance, dance like a maniac
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Find more similar lyrics on
You make me want your aphrodisiac
You make me want your aphrodisiac
I’m craving for your touch
I want it way too much
I’m craving for your touch
Too much, your touch, too much
Over and over I’m falling
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You make me dance, dance like a maniac
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You make me want your aphrodisiac
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You make me dance, dance like a maniac
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You make me want your aphrodisiac
It is a shame if countries whose languages are used don't vote for it isn't it?

LOVE UNLIMITED
Pesenta nyama granitsi, ezik i tsvyat
Ne poznavat beden i bogat
Vsichki peyat po sveta, peyat vse za lyubovta
Lyubovta nyama granitsa, ezik i tsvyat
Ravna e za vsichki v tozi svyat
Za teb, za men, za tyakh
Seviyorum seni
S’agapo poli
Yo te quiero a ti
Volim te,
Mon cheri
Teb obicham
Samo teb obicham
Teb obicham kazvam az
Mangava tut mange
Voglio bene a te
Ben seni sevirem,
Ya habibi
Je t’aime
Teb obicham,
Samo teb obicham
Nyama granitsi za nas
Bolkata nyama granitsa, ezik i tsvyat
Ne poznavat beden i bogat
Padat sushtite sulzi shtom zhivota ni rani
Lyubovta nyama granitsa, ezik i tsvyat
Ravna e za vsichki v tozi svyat
Za teb, za men, za tyakh
Seviyorum seni
S’agapo poli
Yo te quiero a ti
Volim te,
Mon cheri
Teb obicham
Samo teb obicham
Teb obicham kazvam az
Mangava tut mange
Voglio bene a te
Ben seni sevirem,
Ya habibi
Je t’aime
Teb obicham
Samo teb obicham
Nyama granitsi za nas
I love you so much
I love you so much

Live performance
Lyrics
LOVE ME BACK
Oh, hey hey, baby love me back today
Never ever sink my ship and sail away
Oh, ah oh, baby don’t shut me down
Give me all the love I need and I’ll be gone
I’m a lonely sailor, drinking the night away
My ship is made from hope, she’s searching for your bay
But you don’t care
Hop on to my ship, baby I’ll make you fly
You love me and you know that baby, don’t you lie
Love me like I love you and say
Na naninaninanina
Oh, oh oh, we need a bit of rock ‘n’ roll
Baby don’t you crush my soul and make me fall
Oh, hey hey, baby love me back today
Never ever sink my ship and sail away
Hop on to my ship, baby I’ll make you fly
You love me and you know that baby, don’t you lie
Like me like I like you and say
Na naninaninanina, na nananinaninananana na na
Pirates, high seas, cautions, cannons and potions
A sailor’s passion can always conquer the oceans
Sing with me my children
Hop on to my ship, baby I’ll make you fly
You love me and you know that baby, don’t you lie
Like me like I like you and say: na naninaninanina
Na nananinaninananana na nana
Na nanananananananana
Na nanananananana
Na nanananananananana
Na nana
