This is not music... THIS IS MAGIC!!!!!
+Miroslav Tomic really
Adelle at Glastonbury
Yes, I'm in love with this fairytale!
y si no canta pues el premio a cantar en directo no lo tiene porque la musica es grabada, tongo de verdad
@@elimasa1 Creo que hasta 2003-2004 era requisito la música en directo. Después modificaron las bases y desde esa fecha sólo es la voz en directo.
Each Time norway sent a violon in Eurovision it wins
Yes, this is exactly what they should do all years
Kit- Kat they deserved to win in 2006 too!!!
deserved to win in 93 and 05
No, 1985 they didn't use a violin
Dead25m they didnt say everything time they have won it has been with a violin. They said everytime they have used a violin they have won
Best song Eurovision😢
I remember when I was 12 years old and cheered for this entry despite my parents saying that something so different didn't stand a chance to win Eurovision. It was such a euphoric feeling when they got their final 12 points and won."
Yes well, history proved that "different" is in fact the leading factor when it comes to picking up euro favorites
23 years later and this is still the most beautifull Eurovision winner ever.
Thanks everybody for all the likes. The most I have ever gotten. It is still btw the most beautifull song that has ever won eurovision. Even after 26 years.
bopp9 😂
True!
Facts
Don’t forget euphoria tho
25 years
Still the best
26 years have passed and this is still the best Eurovison song....
And always will be the best
ABBA ?
VIOLinA
Is not 🤣🤣🤣
It's fantastic. It's my #2 all-time favorite song.
Everybody is commenting on the violin part which is incredible, but I’d also love to praise the vocalist part - her voice is so clear, simply beautiful 😍
In another video version - from Eurovision - there is a British Soprano choir singer who does the vocals. She is just as good, if not a bit better.
I am just dissapointed about the amount of singing like I really wonder if to call it a song or just a melody
Her name is Gunnhild Tvinnerheim
@@user-ol2pk9kz7o you should call this a piece because it is classical music. The vocalist is actually an opera singer who was classical trained. The violist and the pianist also had classical music background.
I always thought this is a song from "Lord of the Rings" and now I see it actually won Eurovision.
Hell, people in 1995 really had music taste!!!
Fun fact: a remastered version of this song was used in the first "Shrek"
@@audiaudi873 Not really the same song now is it?
Hhahahhahaha. Me too.

I think it is, it’s just slightly different
In Turkey i have heard this song like million times and was wondering who made this beautifull, meaningfull, deep and very emotional song. Today i am very suprised thank you Norway. With respect from Turkey.
Furkan Kaymaz that is totaly true for me to bro
Yeah me too 🥰🥰🥰
She is a Åsa Jinder
İnkilizcem yok. Yani?
DeepFace The violinist is Irish And she’s truly beautiful
Best Eurovision song ever.......
+Harry Mimigiannis Absolutely agree with you.
+Harry Mimigiannis you're absolutelyr right :)
Class.
Yeah! And compare this with the winners of ESC in the last 10 years. This was the time when Eurovision really meant something!
I agree with you, ani780!
When I first watched Shrek as a 5 years old, a tune Princess Fiona sung in the night solemnly was planted in my brain. The tune was so beautiful and it had stuck with me after all these years. I've very very seldom rewatched Shrek, but I still remember it clearly. It took me 2 seconds in that '1950-2019 all eurovision winners' video to recognise the original song of that tune.
Was too good for 5-year-old me, still too good for 24-year-old me.
the feelings of finally found the song title is the best feeling ever! the melody we heard during younger days that is so captivating but too bad it just stuck in our mind without any clue how to find them.. happens to me with "song from a secret garden".. i am so lucky youtube algorithm brought me to that song.. it feels like you found your long lost treasure.. have a nice day ☺️
You know... I searched for 'fairytale' on CZcams thinking of Shrek's fairytale but I found Rybak's fairytale; I liked it so much that I listened to several performances and in one of them I heard what I thought was Shrek's fairytale, and I said oh what a cool reference, since both songs are named the same. Then in the comments they said it was this song and he played that fragment because they're both Norwegian I think.
Anyway, this song is very beautiful, thank god I found it.
Woa, I just came here from that Eurovision winners video because I immediately recognized the tune as well. Didn't connect it to Shrek until I read this!
Me too
They didn't credit this in Shrek though, will still bugs me. Its too similar not to credit it
Anyone here in 2024 and listening to this masterpiece!
until the end of time my friend .
Classics are classics for a reason
when i hear this song I imagine a nordic forest, streams, roe dears and rabbits roaming around during the night, under the moonlight ...A masterpiece
This is ethereal
Beautiful description, thank you for this super nice comment
Witcher 3 with this music
thank you so much for writing this comment, i'm absolutely in love just picturing being in that environment.
Omg yes.. i thought the same, I so wanna go there 😍
I'm from Turkey. This is song the best all time. We love Norway. 🇹🇷 🇳🇴

The mix of Irish and Nordic music is magical. The violinist is an amazing Irish performer
@Jonathan Turner Well, what can one say about Ireland and the Irish??? Absolutely lovely country and people! Like us, I dare say. 😂 Greetings from Portugal.
I think Celtic and Nordic generally go well together.
@@alvinmjensen irish ≠ celtic
@@imwinningthisone7613 Yes, Irish and Scottish = celtic
@@alvinmjensen not necessarily. It's possible, but Celtic isn't something from the British isles.
In fact, the celts came from all over europe, this includes southern and northern Europe. However, they were mostly based around central europe (Northern Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Southern Germany, Belgium, France).
This song, sorry, masterpiece, should be broadcasted to space.....just in case some other civilizations out there listening of us Humans from Earth. In my humble opinion, even if they are maybe aggressive speices, this will calm them down. What a perfection. This world...we Humans can be soooo good, but unfortunately majority always choose.....bad things. This is a fairytale from Norway. Jeg elsker deg from Croatia!
We are already here...
Btw there is one song in space and it's called izlel e delio haidutin.

Remember this I was ten years old watched with my father that night back in 95, I was blown away by the magic of this song I felt it in my heart, now I’m here in 2020 just played to my 6 year old daughter (we on lockdown) she said it sounds like Mother Earth 🌍 & I’m in tears most beautiful music thankyou ❤️🙏🏼
Very heart warming story thank you for sharing 😊
It's beautiful how music connets generations 💜💜
dayum i was -10 when this was entered and honestly it is magical, such an iconic melody and one not many people will know the name of but will have probably heard!
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing😊
Harika, toprak ana 🙂
A song is not just lyrics, let every instrument sing!
I remember that this song was almost disqualified because of the lack of lyrics
I really miss the time when Eurovision had a live
I'm sure the guy from Portugal 2017 would love this Norwegian entry.
Original piece doesn't even have lyrics, they were forced to put those few lines not to be disqualufied.
@@Schnipp08 I can tell you we loved it here in Portugal. Still do to this day.
@@Schnipp08 Portugal 2017 sounded more like Eurovision entries from the 1950's.
The lack of singing was a big thing, i remember
A litle fun fact. the guy on the synth (Rolf Løvland) wrote this. he also wrote the world hit: You raise me up. He even wrote Norway,s win in ESC 1985 ( la det svinge ) with Bobbysocks
In other words: a genius
He wrote the music. Brendam Graham an irish lyricist wrote the lyrics to You Raise Me Up.
And another little fun fact, the violinist playing on Nocturn is irish violinist Fionnula Mc Sweeny.
@@tonymolloy6165and in 1996 the lyrics of "The voice" for Ireland ✨
The best moment in the history of the Eurovision that will never come back
Why do you say it will never come back? You want to make this one more magical by making such a false believe a go? There’s quite big chance something like this will win Eurovision again. Moody songs are always high ranked.
Portugal won last year with a jazz ballad and is very moody but I'm glad many different musical genres can shine in this competition!
Daniel Bar indeed!
Portugal won because their singer wore pro refugees shirt and had? heart problem.
Daniel Bar that's right. Remember Alexander Rybak 2009.He wins with his violin
This song consists of only 24 words. That's the power of music 👏
this is not real this is magic a fairytale song.. speechless.. greeting from Turkey 🇹🇷 ❤️ 🇳🇴
The music of the elves... 🧚🏼
Ahh, Norway and their violins... First this then Alexander Rybak...
Norway 2006
Fionnghuala is Irish.
Hes Belarusian as well
The woman on violin is Irish
This was way more classy though whereas fairytalevwas fairly forgettable and there were better songs that year too
Best winner ever! This is masterpiece. Loves from Turkey🇹🇷🇳🇴
Greeks
Best song ever from Eurovision , will be with me forever , thanks Norway for this masterpiece ! Greetings from Portugal
I echo that from Lagos Portugal as well 🙏🙏🙏
That was when countries still send their best because it was a prestige competition. That was until it was usurp by EU-project and corrupted to glorify the potential new EU member-states, trying to give the winning positions to countries not based on merits or quality of performance, but because EU politicians needed a favorable sentiment on countries they were and wanted to add to the EU. Now even my country sends basically vague nobodies and I haven't seen a Eurovision since maybe early 2000's coz I stopped caring when politics got involved and the entire festival corrupted.
This is undoubtedly the best Eurovision song ever
This song is too good for eurovision
Orion Gospel indeed
Wy to good "
They won ...
I listen this melody again and again, I feel like it touches my soul.
You know? It does...
I advice to adagio too

Beautiful mixture of Nordic and celtic music.
İ' m from turkey. İ listen this music in 2021. We love you. Turkish people love Norway
So proud of my country!!!! this is maybe the best norwegian song we have sendt in Eurovision 🇳🇴😍
Sondre Lisø den bästa låten överhuvudtaget i Eurovision! Och den näst bästa är Norge 1988. 👏 lite stolt över att en svensk är med på scenen också.
Can someone please post the lyrics? Thank you !
It's the best song of the whole eurovision history. Greetings from Belgium. We almost won also with such a special song, Sanomi. But Turkey won that year.
So very true, beautiful music, beautiful country, beautiful people, sending love from England
Marina Ann: the lyrics are:
La dagen få
Sin hvile nå
Og natten vil våke for den
Nocturne
Selv mörket må
En gang forgå
Så natten kan föde en dag
In English:
Let the day get its rest now
And the night will guard in its place
Nocturne
Even the darkness must disappear sometime
So the night can give birth to a day
This song has always been too good for Eurovision, probably even more so now.
Eurovision'un çok üstünde bir müzik. O yüzden kıyas yapmaya gerek duymuyorum. Eurovision tarihinde değil, dünya tarihinde yapılmış en eşsiz eserlerden biri. Hipnoz eden bir labirent gibi. Hayatı ve ölümü birleştiren çok özel bir tınısı var. En azından bana öyle hissettiriyor.
Hissettirdiği şey yaşamın çok ötesinde. Başından sonra bu hayattan soyutlanıyorsun her şey çok boş geliyor öyle bir sakinlik. Bu sadece bir müzik değil bu bir başyapıt
The best song in all of Eurovision. A daring, original, and magical composition. Broke the mold of people's preconceptions about Eurovision, and it still gives me goosebumps. Thank you, Norway! 12 points from the USA.
im curious after the release of the !new eurovision movie, is the average american familiar with the ESC?
Dan Cooper I think it’s definitely gotten the ball rolling! It’s the number one film on Netflix in the USA so people are bound to be more curious about the contest itself now. I’ll certainly be happy if more of my countrymen jump on the bandwagon (but we shouldn’t compete, obviously).
@@SuperJNG18 Interesting, thanks for the quick response :)
Im still crying at its beauty .it transcends Eurovision 😥❤️
Unbelievable .... the text of this song has only 25 words. If the world of magic existed then this song would be a portal to it. Music unbelievably influences the imagination and even breaks away from reality, capturing all the senses of the listener. Amazingly beautiful ...
And yet you can make a great song out of it.
Did U know that Sweden get there rights by the EBU back then
Sweden was verry mad about the Entry from Norway
Becouse it was more Instrument then singing !
Now in this days its forbidden to do this on the Eurovision
Originally it was intended that this song had no lyrics :)
Tekst do tego utworu dodano tylko ze względu na regulamin Eurowizji, który nie przewidywał możliwości prezentowania utworu wyłącznie instrumentalnego. Niemniej jest on tak dyskretny, że niczym nie burzy piękna kompozycji, a wręcz dodaje mu jeszcze aury tajemniczości.
@@EdjeMr1975 Bruh not Sweden being pressed xD
28 years and still the best Eurovision song by far!
Garantiram da će još 28 godina biti najljepša pjesma Eurosonga
I remember this so well. ❤
Music is universal, and this song was in big and small cities of China, and accompanies my whole youthhood.
I call this "God's music". When I meet him I will dedicate this song to him for having walked with me all these years. If more people listened to music like this, the world would be a much better place with less evil.

Beautifully written
This is incredibly beautiful. I'm listening to it every night. Almost a lullaby.
The esc-song with the shortest lyrics and greatest emotional beauty at once.
This is the GREATEST Eurovision song, nothing else comes close ❤❤❤
Fairytale is better.
Both winners
@@bradley_the_cowboy5062 definitely no
I have to agree. (There have been a few good ones over the years, but this one outranks them all: outstanding!)
As for the mediocre/bad Eurovision songs... far too many over the years, I'm afraid. (But, given the current chart domination of autotuned music, I'm beginning to have fond memories of even some poor Eurovision songs...)
👍I like this beautiful song very much & always listen to it.
I used it at our wedding 💙
Çocukluğumda Türkiyede meydana gelen 99 dempreminde aklıma kazinmisti bu müzik:(( her depremde canım ülkem Türkiyem aklıma geliyor. Yeniden geçmiş olsun Türkiyem😔😔 7.8 Maraş depremi unutulmayacak bir acı bıraktı malesef..
I am here just to remind myself again that this is the best Eurovision song ever❤
One day, 100 years from now, this song will be listened and said to be the best Eurovision song ever. Loves from Turkey ❤️

People say Waterloo is the best ESC song ever. They've clearly never heard Nocturne.
I don't agree that this is better.
But Waterloo, meh, good song but Abba has greater.
Also a couple of better Eurowinners such as Fairytale, Euphoria, You are the one
@Ludovic Ouimet
I dont like hardrock so not a fan of your third pick but I get it. I don't even know which song the first lne is and I'm too lazy to search it up.
But Satellite?
Are ya kidding me?
There have been plenty of bad and undeserving winners, but Satellite was just waaay overrated and pretty shit in general.
Most people would say that the 2nd song from Manga should have won and I agree, but imo Satellite shouldn't even have came top 3. Even though most of the other songs were bad too that year.
@Ludovic Ouimet okay.. that's fine.
I do understand different opinions.
But Satellite was just awful. Except the 1979 version
I absolutely love ABBA, but my favourite Eurovision song is nocturne. I like to listen to most types of music and this song is an absolute masterpiece.
@@joannaspeakman9724 Waterloo isn't even one of their good songs.
It's catchy and tuneful, but simple and short/repetetive.
I'm so proud that this masterpiece won the year of my birth.❤

How can any simple human can write that kind of music? Strictly from heaven.
If anyone wants to know the lyrics of what she’s singing, it’s
«Let the day get its rest now
And the night will watch for it
Nocturne
See, the darkness must at some time pass
So the night can give birth to a new day»
Imagine so few words making up such a powerful song.
You have lyrics video much better good for the studio version, and even if the performance version.
@@user-dy3il3ut7f I’m just translating verbatim lol
Some songs have the power to overwhelm you with emotion , love and bring a tear to your eyes , not so much sadness but beauty , this is a deserved winner
Beautifuly said.
True
The music is a mixture of Irish celtic and Nordic music.
yes i agree.also greeces that year -pia prosefxi- was so underrated cause it was saying a simple but yet powerfull political meaning.but it was not intend to be political but at the end the words showing that so they stigmatise it.about fyrom stealing greek history...magical songs both
Respect from turkey norway best eurovision performance all years you know the real soul of violin
It feels like the song should be in "the wicther 3" and be played on the isles of Skellige.
Oh my god, it really does!
Sounds like "The Fields of Ard Skellig" was greatly inspired by Nocturne. The tune is woven into it.
@@sergeant_dornan_ Fields of Ard Skellig also “draws inspiration” from Fear a Bhata, which is far older. As well as Euro Strat Summer 1, from Medieval: Total War
@@zawbones5198 thanks for the info, beautiful melodies.
Love how Eurovision before the 2000s was about good quality music and sound and after the 2000s it turned into “which dance song will make you vibe more in the club”😅
and how many dance songs had won? Actually, ballads become a kind of "syndrome" of eurovision
And there's nothing wrong with that. Ballads are still doing good and there's nothing wrong with uplifting, party-like entries. Actually, most of these type of entries are done well.
it are not even dance songs, it's now just a gay parade
You know this song is an exception right? Most eurovision music over the years has been whatever was considered club music at the time.
Still after many years on this is the best song on the Eurovision Song Contest ever.
+Bosna Hercegovina Točno. Nema bolje, ni prije, ni poslije.
WITHOUT A DOUBT THE GREATEST WINNER OF EUROVISION
Pure magic
I don't think there is a person who disagrees that this song is a total masterpiece!
My favorite Eurovision winner by a landslide.
the real winner is here. this song is too heavy for a contest because that masterpiece doesn't belong to this world. it's like it has been created from another universe
Emm this song literally won.
What a gem! I Goosebumps from the first second. Let's go back to this kind of Eurovision, please.
This is magic! 2023y.
Ben çocukken Türkiye'de dramatik programlar vardı ve arkada bu şarkı çalıyordu hiç bilmiyordum Eurovision şarkısı olduğunu yıllar sonra daha geçen hafta buna rastladım ve gözyaşlarıma hakim olamadım , Belkide çocukken psikolojimi bile bozan duzeydeydi ki , Beni ağlattı 🥺
THIS IS NOT MUSIC 👌🎶👌🎶.THIS IS MAGIC ✨✨.VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️.
The beautiful sound of Celtic , Nordic and European culture which brings a tear to ones eyes ❤ 😢
This is what Heaven will sound like❤
Nocturne was a winner, you could hear this within 20 seconds of the performance a really beautiful song in my opinion this is one of the best songs ever.
I start to cry the moment I hear this song

Was this melody in Shrek?
I thought that too. The Shrek song is called Fairytale.
According to wikipedia Fairytale was a re-worked cover version of Nocturne, but they failed to credit the original.
Well to be honest Fairytale has pretty different progression except for the first couple of bars, which repeats just like in this piece though. But the rest of the piece sounds quite different, to me at least. I wouldn't exactly call that a cover of this. Both are beautiful of course!
So they took the music from one Norwegian win and the song title from another Norwegian win
Damn
You hear tunes from Gustav Holst's "Jupiter", which was also used for the music of "I vow to thee my country"
One of very few Eurovision songs, worth remembering.
Norwegian is such a beautiful and powerful language. I absolutely love it. Best song in Eurovision history, well done Norway. Love from the Netherlands.
❤ Thanks. Trying to learn Dutch. We have a lot of similarities though 😊
Μαγευτική μουσική!
still makes me cry...
Without any doubt... the most beautiful ESC winner....absolutely perfect ! From France 🇫🇷 to Norway 🇳🇴 with love ❤️
❤❤From 1957 until now the best song of eurovizion song contest!!
Masterpiece!!
Magic sounds!!
Thank you Norway!!
Far away..kisses from cyprus!!
It was for 29 years for me, but now ... there is another Norwegian entry that has taken my number 1 slot with Gåte - Ulveham !
Only 25 words. THAT'S MIND BLOWING!!
БОЖЕСТВЕННО. Как-будто вошёл в эльфийский лес. Вот оно подлинное чудо, заставляющее тебя замереть, не двигаться и слушать.
ART
This is likely the most beautiful masterpiece in the whole song contest history!
The best song ever, not only in eurovision' s history!!...Hair raising!!!!
I still remember watching this performance with my family in 1995. I was 6 years old at the time and I couldn't appreciate it.. Too slow and boring for my younger self. Hits me differently as an adult. The instrumentals are absolutely beautiful and she's got the voice of an angel.
For me : the best Eurovision song. The music , lyrics and voice is absolutly: brillant. This song is a masterpiece. Thank you beautiful country: Norway.❤
I can’t believe, this song was written by Rolf Løvland, the same one that composed the 1985 winner song that went pretty much in the opposite musical direction
This song would be a hit 10000 years ago as well as 10000 years from now. A timeless masterpiece about something as timeless and deep rooted in us as the concept of night. Sleeping and dreaming. Rest and quiet. Dark, cold and dangerous.
Beautifulllll!!!!
Unique song.
It has the power to initiate every possible emotion someone could feel!
Greetings from Greece
