Norway: The Hungry Hearts with "Streets Of Orlando" live Cologne Pride

The Lesbian performance band The Hungry Hearts participated in this years Norwegian national selection of "Melodi Grand Prix" in collaboration with Lisa Dillan and the song "Laika".

Well, the ladies didn't made it to Stockholm as representative from Norway, but they have been invited to perform in Stockholm in the main Eurovision week.

"Each person have their own understanding of the message in Laika. For some it is a weird dark disco apocalypse, for others it is an epic song. When I wrote it I did not think so much about a message. I just thought about Laika and her brutal destiny - and I thought about being alone in the atmosphere. I don't accept death as a concept and I am terrified of dying or being left alone somewhere where there are no other human beings..." said Tonje in our interview earlier this year about "Laika".

The Hungry Hearts have been very busy in the last weeks performing on some pride events in Oslo, Tel-Aviv and last week on Cologne Pride in Germany. We met Tonje, Edith, Olga and Henriette for a very lovely interview and a short sightseeing tour through Cologne. They spoke about MGP, their experiences in Stockholm and their plans for Eurovision 2017. The interview will be online in the next days, so stay tuned..

In the meantine you can watch here some of the videos from their performance from the opening evening on main stage on Heumarkt in the heart of Cologne...




As tribute to the victims of the Orlando attack The Hungry Hearts performed their special "Laika" version with "Streets of Orlando, with my boyfriend":


The song "In Your Face" they performed together with the German lesbian icon Hella von Sinnen.

Patricia Kaas - "Le jour et l'heure" (Lyrics Video)



"Le jour et l'heure" 

***Lyrics***

Dans son café rêveuse un nuage de lait
Puis marchant dans les flaques elle comptait ses amours
Il y avait en ville des miroirs aux pavés
C’était un jour de pluie et de vitrines en cours

J’étais comme le ciel étendue sans nuance
Ma valise était faite, une embellie passait
Je n’attendais personne, j’aimais bien ce silence
Je sais tout simplement que l’on n’oublie jamais

Le jour et l’heure
où tout a basculé
L’instant précis même du malheur
Quand le téléphone a sonné
Le jour et l’heure
Le lieu précis de la douleur
De ce qu’on y faisait
Tout ce qu’on y faisait
Tout ce qu’on y faisait

Je prenais tout mon temps
Rien n’avait d’importance
Les terrasses étaient pleines et les rires s’envolaient
Il y avait dans l’air un parfum d’insouciance
Je sais tout simplement que l’on n’oublie jamais

Le jour et l’heure
où tout a basculé
L’instant précis même du malheur
Quand le téléphone a sonné
Le jour et l’heure
Le lieu précis de la douleur
De ce qu’on y faisait
Tout ce qu’on y faisait
Tout ce qu’on y faisait

Je sais que l’on n’oublie jamais
Le jour et l’heure

Le jour et l’heure
où tout a basculé
L’instant précis même du chagrin
Quand le téléphone a sonné
Le jour et l’heure
Longtemps après l’on s’en souvient
De ce qu’on y faisait
Tout ce qu’on y faisait

Et ce à tout jamais

***Lyrics***

Ootad kedagi juulikuus
kui tänavad sulanud ära
Majadelt puhumas tolmutuul
Valge ja kuum on täna
Tühjad on kinode siidised ööd
Ja kusagil meid ei ole

See suvi on liiga soojaks jäänd
Su hääl on kauge ja kume
Ei puuduta sind mitte kellegi käed
Palav, raske ja sume
See suvi on liiga kauaks jäänd
Keegi unustas ära
Et täna meid siin ei ole

Nii või naa
Kuskil saabub hommik
Nii või naa
Täna meid siin ei ole

Saabunud öö ja sa kindlalt tead
Suudlesid valesid huuli
Mitte midagi enam ei paranda vead
Valge, kuum on see juuli
Jälle tühjad on kinode siidised ööd
Täna meid siin ei ole

See suvi on liiga soojaks jäänd
Su hääl on kauge ja kume
Ei puuduta mind mitte kellegi käed
On palav, raske ja sume
See suvi on liiga kauaks jäänd
Keegi unustas ära
Et täna meid siin ei ole

Nii või naa
Kuskil saabub hommik
Nii või naa
Täna meid siin ei ole

Nii või naa
Kuskil saabub hommik
Nii või naa
Täna meid siin ei ole

Nii või naa
Kuskil saabub hommik
Nii või naa
Täna meid siin ei ole

Nii või naa
Kuskil saabub hommik
Nii või naa
Täna meid siin ei ole

Nii või naa
Kuskil saabub hommik
Nii või naa

Täna meid siin ei ole

Alexander Rybak - "I Came To Love You" (Official Video)



"I Came To Love You" 

***Lyrics***

When you're away
I try to focus on things
I need to do
but my hands are shakin',
cause I'm just mad about you.

When by myself
I think of all that may
or may not be true.
And I'm scared of falling
falling hard without you.

But then I see your smile.
And suddenly I feel stronger,
I feel proud.
that's when I man up.
And girl, there's a thing I gotta say out loud.

You got my heart.
Baby, I know this time it's true
So I came to love you.
And that's what I'm gonna do.

And I just hope,
deep in your heart
you feel it too.
Cause I came to love you,
and that's what I'm gonna do.

When we're apart
I walk around all day with your name in my heart
And I can't stop dreamin'
the sweetest dreams about you.

I lay awake when you're not in my bed.
Because I can't get you out of my head
And I feel so foolish.
The biggest fool without you.

But then I see your smile
and all the sudden I'm happy, strong and proud.
That's when I man up.
Girl, do you mind if I say this out loud.

You got my heart.
Baby, I know this time it's true
So I came to love you.
And that's what I'm gonna do.

And I just hope,
deep in your heart
you feel it too.
Cause I came to love you,

and that's what I'm gonna do.
