- đłđŽ MGP 2022 finalist Elsie Bay will sing "Death of Us". She'll promote her potential Eurovision song with a LIVE performance during Semi-Final 1 of Norway's Melodi Grand Prix.
DEATH OF US lyrics - Elsie Bay
The devil hides between the jack and the king
A Jezebel filling space in your sheets
Am I keeping you from your issues?
Lying next to you like it's nothing
When sleep no longer comes
You spittin' anger from your lungs
I know you house a sea
But there's still fun in all your jokes
I cry my lil' tears to save me from years
Of keeping it all in my head
And I've made up my mind
So you no longer have to deserve my love
I've made up my mind
And there's no coming back from the two of us
You gave me your all that you had to give
In this game of ours that I wouldn't quit
But now I've made up my mind
And there's no coming back from the death of us
'Cause it's been growing on me
Like an ivy up my sleeve
Like I'm flora now
Flowers head to my feet
Am I keeping you from your issues?
From your purpose, from your grief
When sleep no longer comes
You spittin' anger from your lungs
I know you house a sea of setting suns
I've made up my mind
So you no longer have to deserve my love
I've made up my mind
And there's no coming back from the two of us
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh
The death of us
Now I cannot listen to your heart
Because I'm afraid it'll stop
And I've made up my mind
So you no longer have to deserve my love
I've made up my mind
And there's no coming back from the two of us
You gave me your all that you had to give
In this game of us that I wouldn't quit
But now I've made up my mind
And there's no coming back from the death of us
I've made up my mind
And there's no coming back from the death of us

The song also has a flow and airy sound that reminds me of Aurora. That's a HUGE compliment in my book. This song is just everything! My goosebumps have goosebumps.
yes absolutely Vivian! This song is SO heavenly! xoxo
WOW!!!! Thank you SO much for all your kind words. I'm so humbled and touched by your reaction to this!!!! /Andreas Stone (One of the songwriters and producer of the song)
Nice to see you here! You deserve that kind words! :-)

Good job , take my loveđ„°
@@AuroraSnsd đđ
Thank you Andreas! We love the variety of your songs - cutting across genre and style and slaying all the time
1:13 The way they did that in-sync
Amazing song! I really hope Elsie wins MGP, her entry feels like it's on a completely different level from everyone else, there's just something magical and powerful about it
Has top-10 potential at Eurovision if they do the live performance right
â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Guaranteed top5
This is simply breathtaking. My winner for sure
Also, I highly recommend to check out her works in Elsa & Emilie. The genre is a little bit different, but they are just as beautiful. Their live performances show our girl *can* sing live, so she is something to look forward to
This is my MGP winner. Just stunning. Love it! The staging must be on point and this can go far in Torino!
Winner vibes
it's like she put lyrics over the climax to a movie soundtrack. it's gorgeous, and with a fitting staging, she is absolutely the winner.
their reactions were in-sync so many times:D
It was crazy!!! đ€Ż
Iâm sorry but this could win Eurovision! Iâm BLOWN AWAYâ€ïž
sadly I think subwoolfer will get more votes from many Norwegians without music taste
Norway does this mystic high impact songs so well!
Such a well structured and well flowing song
sadly I think subwoolfer will get more votes from many Norwegians without music taste
My favourite sofar.
This is Art!!!
I adore this so much. I havenât listened to all of norwayâs entries but this one is easily my favorite so far. probably my winner of the national final season thus far too
My winner đłđŽđłđŽđłđŽ
It's giving me GOOOOOSSEEEBUMPPSSS
It's lyrically very beautiful. I'm keen to see how they stage this and if she can bring the emotional depth through singing it live. I love the bit where she sings "You gave me all that you had to give in this game of us that I couldn't quit." That whole last third is just stunning đ
I can absolutely see this winning Esc as a âdark horseâ kinda like Jamala
I don't think the horse will be that dark...
@@robrobsen9727 thatâs why I put it in commas

TOP 05 FOR NORWAY IN EUROVISION 2022 đłđŽâ€
My friend, my mom and my favourite is this song! I just soo love this song. It could be my most played song in this year on spotify lol, thank you Miss Bay for this an amazing song â€
So beautiful songâ€
This is a Winner,,,Quite Beautiful. â€â€â€â€â€đđđđđđ
I literally cannot WAIT for Melodi Grand Prix this year. I'm so excited to see so many of the songs live. But Elsie Bay and 'Death Of Us' just has a hold over my heart so much that I cannot bear to see it lose to a jokey (but catchy, I know) song. Sorry Subwoolfer fans, but we need to elevate thingsđ
sadly I think subwoolfer will get more votes from many Norwegians without music taste
THE SONGWRITING OF THIS SONG WAS PURELY EPIC
Elsie will be the winner of MGP, and has a good chance to win Eurovision as well! As William said, it depends on the staging.
The song is just phenomenal. It gave me goosebumps all over my body!
sadly I think subwoolfer will get more votes from many Norwegians without music taste
@@robrobsen9727 My mind changed a bit after seeing Elsie Bay live. I wasn't too impressed by the performance, honestly. So you might be right. I just hope Elsie will be able to deliver something much better next time. The song has a lot of potential. But the hype around Subwoofer seems big indeed.
It wil be fun to hear Elsie preforme this live tomorrow.
So excited!
So much will depend on that. This kind of song can totally collapse if it doesn't work out on stage.
@@Wiwibloggs I have seen her singing live in a video, that will be great!
The life performance was dissapointing
@@cecilieklaunes3626 The performance was actualy very good, the voice was close to pitch perfekt. she did a magnificent job, but there have to be some changes with the staging. if they do a good job it could me magical
This needs to win mgp and could probably win Eurovision
sadly I think subwoolfer will get more votes from many Norwegians without music taste
@@robrobsen9727 nvm I love them too
She has real chances to win MG2022! đ
Good luck Elsie!
Out of all national selection songs âDeath of usâ is another dimension. Early esc2022 winner alert! đ€Ż
We need this song in Eurovisionđ
Love from Greece đ
sadly I think subwoolfer will get more votes from many Norwegians without music taste
EXCELLENCE â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž first word that came to my mind when I heard couple of days ago.
Exactly what I said first âLana+Victoria 2020+ Billieâ
Potential eurovision winner periodt.
I really hope she slays this live! The song is in a class of its own in this year's MGP. Love from đšđż!
Since you are a Czech and like this song, did you support Giudi?
@@Crowleas Giudi has the same vibrations and she made the mistake of not adding an orchestra but kept the acapela version
@@Crowleas I did. Not a massive fan of Lights Off
@@feggyo well, I never mind a properly epic orchestra but I think her minimalistic touch was also very interesting. It was so mesmerising. If I added something to that, it might be a discreet and delicate beat ( something Aminata-like perhaps - Latvia ESC 2015). Nothing else was missing from her show-stoping witchcraft. Missed opportunity for Czechia. The Domi guys are good but kind of basic and unsurprising.
masterpice song give my goosbumps every time i listen tho it
Give me vibes of Victoria of Bulgaria, which I love it, worth seeing in the final but I doubt she'll win
As a norwegian, i really hope we send this. it's AMAZING and she deserves the world
You should definitely vote for her. THIS IS AMAZING!!
If this has a great performance I can honestly see this being a top 10 finisher in Eurovision, maybe even higher. The composition is actually incredibly unique, so many interesting chords that are thrown in that really just make it stand out. I really like the song but I think this is going to be amazing live.
I really hope this makes it as I'm not a fan of any of the other favourites (I'm not a fan of novelty so I don't like Subwoofer, I just love this one)
she can win not only the MGP but also win Eurovision in Turin!
but then Norway did the opposite.....
@@baronbaron3142 I think she just need to change the title into something more attractive. Like "my love or two of us" instead of death of us.
This is beautiful
it is soo magicaaal, like whaaat, it came from fairytalee đđ€©âš
It's funny, because every person I introduce this song to in Norway compares her to (of course) Billie Eilish, but also another whole different artist. Aurora, Lana Del Rey, other norwegian artists, other eurovision artists, but it's always different from person to person. She has a beautiful voice, but it's kind of a mix of things that really work in her favor, especially if different people compare her to different things. I'm so excited to see the staging. That is what will make or break this, luckily tonight we'll figure it out!
She really reminded me of Susanne sundfĂžr- what a stunning song I LOVED IT
Eurovison top 5đ
sadly I think subwoolfer will get more votes from many Norwegians without music taste
The grandeur and swell of Euphoria done sooo softly love ittt
i just saw her semi 1 performance and rated it 8/10, but after listening to the song on spotify i'm all in. this song has potential and her voice reminds me so much of soko? 2011 throwback haha
Yes this is great. It's a kind of song like Tears getting sober, but Death of us has a way better structure and holds the attention. Also a great lyrics and instrumentation. But still, I'm for Subwoolfer, I think it must be between those 2 for the win.
Love the contrasts of the favourites - this is going to be a battle to the death
Love you guysđ„°đđđ
Love youuuuu â€ïž
At first I thought this was too similar to Bulgaria's effort last year, but this song is quite moving and my favorite among the selection. I'm sure this will stand out between a lot of either standard-ish pop songs or more comedic songs like Subwoolfer's
And this is why we love Eurovision.
Songs like this have the privilege to fight up the lead and itâs amazing
...I love it... đ€đ¶đ
Winner!
If she can sing just as good live.. this could indeed end very high. But staging is going to be important too.
I think... its going to win................ Esc 2022 đł
Oslo 2023đ„
đ
I really love it, but I would LOOOVE to see Hammer Of Thor in Turin, the song is just so catchy, the build-up is insane, and it can have a magnificient staging
Elsie Bay is co-writer of Hammer of Thor....
@@Meg-ld7vt One more reason to send Hammer of Thor, we will have Oda and Elsie at the same time in ESC !
This song is more beautiful than bananas.
This is my top 3
This is my top 5 blind pick at ESC this year. Staging and competition will decide rest. Jury should not hurt this same goes for voting.
it starts of a bit boring but takes off and transforms into something incredible and deep!
She was in a duo before this - look up Elsa & Emilie if you want more like this đ„°
ahhh tomorrrow we will know the winner. there are too many favourites
I agree with you. A beautiful song - and a great artist. High quality. But is it too sad for Eurovision?
Robbed
Nice voice nice symphony. Itâs emotional one. I would prefer more joyful but itâs lovely song. â€ïžđŠđ±đâïž
This was probably written for Mellodifestivalen đđ
What do you mean?
@@vickyclips1000 bc of the name of authors (just guess)
Next reaction to Maria Mohn with Fly please
Itâs got a classical sensibility with a modern vocal performance.... itâs interesting but I feel like itâs missing something? Idk maybe needs more emotion (edit: on the performers part not in the song itself lol)? Definitely can be elevated with staging, whether they go big and grand pulling on that orchestral feel or more artsy
Norway didnât send the winner last year so that can make the mistake twice.
Comparisons to past competitors and artists like Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and Aurora while valid, totally disregard the past 8 years during which she has been releasing songs with this exact sound (via Elsa and Emilie, ) which she was doing before many of the artists she's being compared to
I really want this but think we in Norway are going to choose the Banana song
@Sir Stevia we have to see what we in Norway choose I am so excited
@@martinehelgesen I really hope this, because joke songs are more than enough this year!
@@robrobsen9727 we have to see what we Choose
I honestly don't understand the Billie Eilish comparison. I understand that it's a go-to reference point right now but as a big Billie Eilish fan, I don't think this sounds anything like Billie. Like I cannot think of a Billie Eilish song this sounds like. Billie's music isn't big, bombastic and dramatic. It's usually quite understated. Lana del Rey on the other hand? Absolutely. Victoria? Sure. I'm just so tired of things being compared to Billie Eilish when most of it sounds nothing like her output. :D
I couldnât agree more with you! I donât see the similarities with Billie. It definitely reminds me more of Lana, Aurora and perhaps even Skott in a way (with this being more orchestra than Skott). Elsie will definitely have my vote if she ends up representing Norway!
It is a great song. Still can't digest the new wave vocal performance as if singers have handicapped tongues.
OK - I'm not impressed with the collection of songs in MGP this year. However, THIS is the obvious stand-out.
With regards to Turin, my only reservation is that, much like Victoria last year, the audience just won't go for it. I suppose it all boils down to the competition. If there are some fairly decent bangers in the running, then I can see this being disregarded by the voting public.
Its so much like the bulgarian entry of 2021
I do still find it monotonous despite the orchestration . This could win the juries but won't do huge with the televote I think
Lana del rey young and beautifulđ„Č
Not a fan of the overused singing style tbh, cutting off words and airy, just meh. However the song is miles ahead of the other choices.
so disappointed for the result âč
âJames Bond 007â next soundtrack
The only good song from MGP 2022
sadly I think subwoolfer will get more votes from many Norwegians without music taste
i dont know, I'm thinking about copying lana del rey - young and beautiful :-/
I immediately remembered listening to the main line Lana, and its not good...
and something irritates me about that song, probably that it's not cohesive and jumps from one key to another... can you sing melody this song few minutes later? dont think so, bcs it doesnt have strong melody :-/
I still can play it on the piano, so I have to disagree ;)
The only time Norway outdid Sweden and it didn't win :/ sadly wasted potential no matter the 2022 results
Lana del Rey? I've heard this before, sorry...
Itâs an amazing song but didnât have a sob story or disability behind it, that means, like last year. Norway probably wonât pick it.
awfully boring
Subwoolfer is way better
Nothing could be more worse than subwoolfer. Trust me, you'll get at maximum 50 points at Eurovision. With Elsie Bay Norway will get Top 5
nothing special
wrong
Thats all Serbian song âŠ
