~~~~~ Lyrics ~~~~~
When we were boys
We played pretend
Army tanks and army men
Hide and seek
Grow to be the kings we dream
Where did we go?
We’re standin' on the frontline
Where did we go, we go?
I don’t wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don’t wanna have to play with real blood
We ain’t playin' now
Can’t turn and run
No water guns
No no
I don’t wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don’t wanna have to play with real blood
'Coz we ain’t playin' now
Can’t turn and run
No water guns
Just body bags that we’ve become
Adolescence, breaking rules
Nothin' hurts when you‘re bulletproof
I remember, yes, I do, I do
Where did we go?
We’re standin' on the frontline
Where did we go, we go?
I don’t wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don’t wanna have to play with real blood
We ain’t playin’ now
Can’t turn and run
No water guns
No, no
I don’t wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don’t wanna have to play with real blood
Cause we ain’t playin' now
Can’t turn and run
No water guns
Just body bags that we’ve become
What we’ve become
What we’ve become
What we’ve become
Playin' with water guns
Not playin' with water guns

Very nice
It’s giving me ‘Snap’ vibes, i think it’s gonna be underrated in Eurovision, but it can be a radio favourite after the show. This is the one song that can go viral and i’d love to see that happen, it’s so good
@Carlos, I find it interesting that you think that, but I can see it. 🤔 I personally thought it had more “Tout L’Univers” vibes, from Gijon’s Tears in 2021, since they both have balanced vocal build-ups but to each their own of course. I agree that it would be great to see it go viral as it it is super good, and I’m surprised it’s not as high ranked on people’s favourites. It’ll be interesting to see how the juries rank it though. 😊
Say that again 👍👍👍
well,it's so right
Well definetily wont be snap vol 2, dont even compare this to that Snap which is much better
@@Moikkaa123hdnd i’m not comparing it to ‘Snap’ in terms of which one’s better or saying it will definitely have the same success. However, i think this has the potential to reach an audience outside of Eurovision, i may be wrong, but i love it
There’s nothing to say, Switzerland always chooses deep songs and beautiful voices and they manage to always stay elegant, I don’t eve know how to express this feeling. Our neighbours are really cool.🇮🇹💕
Absolutely agree, the message and emotional performance & his voice are literally stunning ❤
Aweosm
It's a pity that Remo's great voice and his wonderful song weren't rated and appreciated better by the expert juries or by the public votes. For me, Watergun was one of the best and strongest songs of this year's song contest 💪👏. anyway congratulations to Remo from Switzerland 🇨🇭. Boy, you're right to be proud of yourself 👍
I agree
This was my number one this year! ❤❤❤
This song makes me cry.. Such a young man, but already such a mature voice and such a deep message.. I'm giving a standing ovation to this masterpiece. Thank you Remo, thank you Switzerland 🇨🇭
I completely agree with you! this song is truly a powerful and emotional song, and it's amazing to see such a young artist delivering such a deep and meaningful message.
One of rare Eurovision songs I liked from the very first listening. Hope this wins. Best wishes from Croatia. ŠČ!
I meni je super pjesma. Pozdrav iz Švicarske
Poz iz Svicarske nazad
Slažem se u potpunosti!!
Također. Stvarno lijepa melodija i snažna poruka. Nažalost prekrasne pjesme više ne pobjeđuju ali meni osobno ova je apsolutni favorit.
This song.. 😢some soldiers don’t want to be solders but have no choice.. God bless my people and my country.. may we be free for ones and for all
Most underrated song of this year's Eurovision! He's such a good singer and this song is such a bop, been stuck in my head since I heard it!
Most underrated song of the year,touching lyrics with such a calm and stabile vocal from Remo
I really hope it goes to finals,love from Serbia!!
Best male vocals of Eurovision 2023 imo. Definitely. He's impressive live, no need of pitch correction or other tricks at all. This year we have pretty good vocalists.
There is pitch correction though
Italy has a clearly better vocal ability and range!
@@eddible544 italy is so overrated
listening on repeaaaat. Best song of the competition.
i can't stop listening to this song
me too
As a swiss, it's not often that I can be proud of what we are sending to Eurovision. Very unlikely to win but I wish him to do good. Great voice , good and simple music, deep lyrics. It is a great song ❤️🇨🇭
If I were from your country I would be also very proud of this song and artist. He really deserved so much more than what he got
If I was Swiss, I would’ve been super proud of all of the songs Switzerland has sent since 2018!
@@EdvinMedvind 2019 and 2021 were really good yes ! equally proud of them. The worst I forgot the year but dj Bobo and the vampire song.
Это лучшая песня прошедшего евровидения!
Спасибо из Украины!
I didn't expect him to have this voice. I hope he delivers us a show on stage 🔥🔥
Rick Astley moment
@Marin :))) ahaha stop 🥹
He will
Great voice and with a lyric that hits home. Should have won, the best song of them.
One of my favorite songs!! ❤
This song is gorgeous! I am russian and I can say that noone wants to be soldiers, we, russian people, do not want to be soldiers and honestly do not understand why everything that happens needs... I am honestly, by all my heart agree with this song 🥺
🥺🥺🥺
😔🥺
❤❤❤
As a russian I fully agree 😢☮️🇺🇦
This is irony that people in Russia want to be soldiers the most
Thank you for this strong message Switzerland❤... love from Italy 🇮🇹❤🇨🇭
What a voice!
Pidän tästä koska se ei ole liian raju eikä tylsä tämä on hyvin mukava ja se ääni kerto säe kaikki ihana biisi😮❤❤❤❤
Lyrically, this is incredibly powerful and would be my pick for the 1st semi-finals group.
Coming from the future, the song made it to the final! This song has such a strong message and im hoping to see it live this saturday tbh
Switzerland is becoming one of the main favorites by sending good songs to Eurovision in recent years. First Luca Hanni then Gjons Tears and again this year. True, my winner in 2019 was Duncan, but in 2020 and 2021 Gjons Tears was also my winner. Especially Tout I 'Universe😢 This song is also quite good. Good luck Switzerland
This song is amazing.It's really underrated in Eurovision,but this artist will have his greatest achievements❤
Switzerland always does a lovely ballad. Last year it was Mario Bear with "Boys do Cry" and this year, it's Remo Forrer with "Waterguns". Fricking love Switzerland.
Very strong vocalist, sounds like he'd nail this live. I'm guessing Sacha is back for Swiss staging so hopefully something interesting is brewing.
Ya Remo was in Sweden so I’m guessing Sascha’s with them
yeah I've read she's part of the team again. Hoefully she'll pull a flawless staging for this song
@@JamieFM_Yeah and also Käärijä was there so maybe my wish will be granted and Sasha will do Finland too.
So for her - Sweden, Albania, Switzerland
Maybe Finland, Georgia, Australia
Watch his performances on The Voice Of Switzerland!
But she sucks. All her stagins are the same
this song broke my heart i cry ❤️🩹🇺🇦🇨🇭
I Don't want to be and never will be a soldier. This powerful song is so good. I rather end my own life then take someone else's, because that is not my decision. People should love each other so much more.❤️ I may be a dreamer, but I believe in peace
what a beautiful song… proud to be swiss
So underrated..I love his voice and this song so much. Such a powerful message. Good luck from Netherlands ❤️🇳🇱
I can’t even put my emotions into words… Such a strong message, deep lyrics… I’m so much impressed. Right to the deep of my heart. Switzerland definitely deserves to have good results this year
Thank you so much from Switzerland!!🇨🇭❤️🫵🏼 It is great that my country can enrich the contest
@@drifty2294 i love Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 and i love so so much this song 12 points to Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭 from Greece 🇬🇷
This song broke me. To the heart. Good job.
This is my winner!
As someone who comes from a vulnerable region with a recent history of bloody wars, this absolutely hits so hard!
Best of luck and much love from Kosovo/Albania!
As well as Croatians who always supported people from Kosovo and their struggle!!
This is my winner too even though all songs are good this is my favorite
Mine too
The competition is getting serious. This is really nice
This song deserved a higher position in the final. Well done, Switzerland!
This song is so actual now, I'm crying. Peace!
This made me cry. Is this an exceptional year somehow? I don't normally have this many favourites. So, here goes another vote from me! Good luck from Finland.
CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA🔥
Same.
actually good luck from country that winner of 2023*
Nice to read your comment. So many fans saying that is a bad and weak year !
🇨🇭❤️🇫🇮
Ah, Song Reveal, what a beautiful name of the song.
The Song is called "Watergun"
wait is it already confirmed?
@@matteo5777 it was not confirmed, but I have never seen Crystal ball on Twitter being wrong until now..
@@meltayy aight. well, we will see tomorrow anyways haha
@@matteo5777 crystall ball is in these things a very good source
Bravo Remo. Bravo la Suisse. Magnifique.
He has such a lovely voice!
Very underrated. Beautiful song and message.
As a Ukrainian, I must say this song hits on a different level.
We don't want to be soldiers, but we must, and we will pursue - for our families, friends and Motherland. And yes, there are no waterguns around.
Thank you for bringing this theme in your song!
Remo's voice is deep and really beautiful.
Like yout interpretation, stay strong and I'm with you.
♥️🍀🙏
My heart goes out to you, Ukraine. No one wants this. I pray the God we'll see peace there soon.
I think u did not get the song...
@@emg7446 there should be different interpretation
The best song this year. Greetings from Germany
The most beautiful ballad this year. The boy has an amazing voice, he should be in the top 3. It pisses me off that such beautiful songs are robbed
As a mother of three sons, this song hits me... really hard.
Mum of 6 sons, I feel you.
@@RuffledRodent ❤️
I have 3 sons too
Exactly!
Why, Are they in the army?
This is one of the most underrated swiss entries ever in Eurovision!
Fantastic song ❤
What a gorgeous voice, he possesses! So powerful!
Every year, there's always at least one male vocalist with amazing voice. And this is one of them. Love his voice
This song is so beautiful and the most underrated song of Eurovision 2023. I'm from Myanmar...a country where longest on going civilwar in history. It hurts to see wars.
Much love to you from Switzerland! 🇨🇭❤️🇲🇲
Much love from The Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇲🇲
Such a beutiful melody with Message. Unfortunately I realized this too late to vote Switzerland. Now playing everyday, thank you for excellent music!
@remoforrer1734 you are a f**king legend.
Switzerland always sends quality entries
Yes I agree, except last year. The lyrics were good, but the song melody itself was sleepy and monotonous🥱😅
With best wishes from Ukraine! This song is deep in my heart!!! Considering that no one from us wanted to be a soldier and play with the real blood 😭😭😭😭
exactly what the song is about
А для мене це навпаки, знецінення героїчності українців. "I don't want to be a soldier" - так наче ми хочемо. Відчувається загальний посил а-ля, давайтє жить дружно. Деякі іноземці не розуміють, що неможливо "помиритись" з тим, хто ціленаправлено прийшов тебе вбити.
With best wishes from the UK for Ukraine 🇺🇦 we love you so much stay strong ♥️
@@yanabanana5086 Вы мои мысли читаете . С любовью к Украине от беларуски из Швеции . Украина переможе ! Слава Украине и ЗСУ !
@@lanamartinkevich3610 дякую за підтримку ❤ Героям слава! Жыве Беларусь!
This song was wrriten by Mikołaj Krogulec ( from Poland)
My favourite song in eurovision ❤❤
The message of the song is so strong, something I have been thinking as a finnish person since we have mandatory military service. And especially with what is going on in the world atm. This song is awesome.
Yes. Another Finn here. And now we are joining Nato, after years of trying to stay neutral. It's understandable, perhaps unavoidable, and I guess I would have said yes myself if I'd been asked. But to tell the truth, it breaks my heart.
Same. I’m American and we have a selective service system. It’s scary with everything going on right now.
Another kinda Finn, a Chinese Finn here. Brilliant song, it shows the core idea of Switzerland being a peace-loving nation. Switzerland never disappoints, since 2019!
BTW, Remo was born just a few days before 9/11, which makes the song even more significant.
💞
@@kaisanuolioja8937 Mutual emotions from Sweden...
The first seconds I was like, hmmm sounds like a 1000 other songs, but then this deep voice, his vocals and also the message. Switzerland, Belgium is suporting you this year🇧🇪🙌🏽🇨🇭
I know this song wont be among the top songs tonight because it seems few people like it, but I honestly cant understand that. His voice is amazingly deep and the lyrics bring tears to my eyes. Absolutely contemporary theme too. A song forever on my Spotify playlist I'm sure.
One of the best songs of this year! Such a deep massage, especially for my country rn💔
Switzerland did it again, I love the song!
I think this is one of those cases that the live performance will shine the song and his vocals. I hope he can sing like this live. This can be a moment on stage, I'll be rooting for that
He can sing live. Remo Forrer on The Voice Switzerland ;)
I don’t know it just kinda has that non qualifier vibe to it. It’s a solid song but I just don’t know if it’s fit for ESC, though if they somehow figure out the staging the song can get high up
Thank you so much from Switzerland!!🇨🇭❤️🫵🏼 It is great that my country can enrich the contest
@@peeryoutubewow rly it’s the only one I think is decent
Such a strong message and i love it, it is soooo underrated!!
Amazing song
This is a top ten worthy song! I am gonna predict that is gonna be populair on the radio. I really like this song!!
Omg, that VOICE!!! It gets under your skin and caresses you. If he can keep it up live, the performance can be amazing! 🔝 🔝🔝Absolutely LOVE IT. ❤🇪🇸
he's literally amazing ❤️
Amazing voice 🥰🥰🥰
This song is so underrated, this could be in top 10 for sure with good staging and his voice on top.
Congratulations to Switzerland 🇨🇭
A very beautiful song to me. With love from Istanbul to the Swiss ❤ 🇹🇷
Our favorite in this years ESC !!! Can’t believe it got so few votes…
It takes a lot for a song to make me cry - Gjon's Tears did it in 2021, and now this one. It's amazing, and my winner - this year is getting so strong...
Emotional, it's giving me "Arcade" vibes.
@@taskview224hell no lmaooooooo
My personal winner of ESC 2023 ❤️ Such a great Song. 12 Points from Germany 🇩🇪 I love this song. 🍀 Hope you get into the final.
so good favorite song
Winner!

What a ballad Switzerland. You deserve once again the final. I am amazed how you improving since Luca Hänni. Regards from Italy 🇮🇹 ❤️🩶🇨🇭
Thank you so much from Switzerland!!🇨🇭❤️🫵🏼 It is great that my country can enrich the contest
Amazing song and amazing message!
Switzerland is so good at making dynamic, exciting ballads and the people who still go on to call it boring, don't get music. This song has so many changes and levels to it and his voice is great
I guess people's tastes just differ drastically. I graduated from music theory and I do find this song interesting.
@@kaisanuolioja8937 agreed, but I'm just sick of some of these eurovision fans calling every ballad they hear boring after one second of listening
@@turtellok4964 I just told them I am also tired of this kind of „boring“ comments😂
Okay, I respect his vocal appears strong and there’s nothing particularly wrong with this ballad. But ballads have to have something very unique about them to be appreciated fully by Eurovision (in native language or exceptionally produced with a very strong message). This is a good song - I’m not calling it boring but it’s a bad entry for Eurovision in my opinion. It’s not going to stand out and I wouldn’t really care if it qualifies.
@@turtellok4964 Yes. My take on this: Everyone who bothers to write or perform any kind of music at all, deserves my respect. Everyone. And much worse songwriters/performers too than those you see on Eurovision who are all solid musicians. On the other hand, no one deserves my respect by shooting negative one-liners on social media. That is the easiest thing in the world to do, and at the same time, the most lame, uninspired, lazy and boring thing. So, are they in the position to criticise? Not really. Maybe take a look in the mirror and consider this for a while: What did YOU do today that was worthwhile? What did the artist do?
This song is incredible. I heard this amongst the other songs and it just stood out. Amazing. This is coming straight from the UK!
The very best of Eurovision 2023! Why didn't this score much much higher? 😢
I don't care what anyone thinks. this is the best Eurovision song of 2023 and i will continue to stick with it no matter what anyone else thinks. Remo has such and incredible voice, and he sings this song so well. It brought back so many of my memories from when i was so much younger. It can make me feel so emotional as all of those memories begin to flood back to me. This man needs more attention, as he is such an incredible person.
What a song Switzerland! What a powerful message! What a voice! So underrated! Love you, and wish you will be in final🇺🇦💞🇨🇭
I have goosebumps EVERYTIME I listen to this song and it's just the studio version. I can already imagine how powerful this will be live 🎆🏆
Should be played for Russians night and day🥶. Good song though but Ukranian song is the best one of these kind.
I have goosebumps every time I listen to this song, too! Amazing voice 😍❤️🇨🇭
Für mich auch ein Jahr nach dem ESC noch immer einer meiner liebsten Songs. Gut geschrieben perfekt gesungen. Remo ich würde mich über weiterer solcher Meisterwerke freuen.
So touching and sweet! ❤❤❤
Astonished of this song! There is something that touches me deeply, the words, the music, his voice? All of them combined... Good luck from Greece 🇬🇷
This is the third day that I listen to this song.
Compared to other songs, this one has a very strong message with good lyrics.
The composition of this song and musical arrangement are also very pleasant to listen to.
That's why, in my opinion, this song is gonna be in the top 10 songs of Eurovision 2023.
I think ppl will like it but it won't be the first preference of many
if it passes the semi its will have a good chance at top half in my opinion
@@sparkz2337 jury will probably love that song so... You're probably right
This song was the real winner of Eurovision 2023. The voice is amazing, the song and everything. Just beautiful ! Greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷❤️🇨🇭
