~~~ Lyrics ~~~
Skrila sem se v reko,
in odšla v tiho noč.
Z glasnimi koraki,
nemi klici na pomoč.
Zdaj, ko sem le voda,
v valovih iščem mir.
Utopim se v sebi,
se svetlobi prepustim.
Najdi me, rani me, brani me.
Koga loviš, ko me zapustiš?
Dvigni me, pusti me, ljubi me.
Kdo te lovi, ko se me bojiš?
Koga se bojiš,
ko svoje želje zatajiš?
Gledaš me v oči,
podoba tebe v njih žari.
Ogledalo sem brez robov.
Le odsev tvojih sem strahov.
Najdi me, rani me, brani me.
Koga loviš, ko me zapustiš?
Dvigni me, pusti me, ljubi me.
Kdo te lovi, ko se me bojiš?
Jaz sem.
Ti si.
Veronika.
Tvojo resnico le ona ve.
~~~ Lyrics in English ~~~
I hid in the river.
And went into the silent night.
With loud steps.
Voiceless cries for help.
Now that I am just water.
In the waves, I seek peace.
I drown in myself.
I surrender to the light.
Find me, wound me, protect me.
(Who do you chase when you leave me?)
Lift me up, let me go, love me.
(Who hunts you when you fear me?)
Who are you afraid of,
when you deny your desires?
You look me in the eyes.
The image of you shines in them.
I am a frameless mirror.
Just a reflection of your fears.
Find me, wound me, protect me.
(Who do you chase when you leave me?)
Lift me up, let me go, love me.
(Who hunts you when you fear me?)
I am.
You are.
Veronika.
Only she knows your truth.

This year was an absolute joke. 23rd? With a voice like that???? Slovenia be proud of Raiven, she's a true gem who brought QUALITY into this contest. 🇬🇷❤️🇸🇮
Im from slovenia and this ehh not too good
totally agree with u, one of the best vocals nad gets 15 points. To small of a country or smthing idk... ukraine sends this or any bigger country it is instantly top 10....
It is
you didn't vote for us on the app, you had 20 votes available... and one vote is only llike 84cents, one call vote used to cost about 2€, and today we still got less than 20 points from the public, i expected more...
It's ok. I'm from Slovenia and really proud she made it to the final.😊
She is amazing.
What's even the point of a professional jury if they can't appreciate an artistic masterpiece like Raiven's performance?
To ask ourselves how professional they are? 😃 kidding 😉 we are a small country, with no power tbh... and one more thing that I am aaking myself.. when did the jury vote? Was she healthy enough when there were oerformances for them? Sara had a cold since Tuesday...
@@majadukadinoska3693you're not wrong. Most of them are some b-list celebrities that just do it for money and vote for whichever lobby pays more ☠️
@majadukadinoska3693 The juries voted on Friday night where the jury show took place. I didn't know she had a cold but it makes sense, she doesn't sound as healthy as she used to.
Yes I cannot believe that they preferred the rubbish of crown the witch above that of Raiven
The song sucks I feel like it’s overrated It’s worse then Other countries only the voice is good everything else sucks JUST WHY they went from Underrated to overrated this sucks sorry I understand it was bad but 23rd is to good more like 36th
I'm shocked that she wasn't in the top 10 for the juries. She is so talented, and the song is incredible. I remember falling in love with it on the first listen
Right!! I thought the juries would definitely save her with votes just by her vocals and dramatic staging, literally art. (Im not even from Slovenia)
Good singers are nowhere near the top not because the song or their performance wasn't good, but because Eurovision because over politicised trash.
@@GenomancerBot true. At least the first 2 places are good
@@Miragezzs Same, I wasn't prepared for that. I expected some 12 points to Slovenia
So true @@GenomancerBot
I cannot believe this robbery. Raiven literally delivered beautiful vocals and a stunning performance too. Europe don't appreciate art, let's be honest. 23rd was such an awful placement for such a fabulous song. The notes at the end were beautiful. Veronika would be proud.
literally 😭 i really thought this song would score higher but for some reason it just got lost among all the other, way more popular entries. maybe it's because of their lower budget when it comes to the stage? super unfair regardless
The art of being naked in public?
@@bellaa_8123 yeah, slovenia never gets much votes, other countries just forget about it.
@@hanadaigo8740 Where have you ever saw fully naked People on EV stage? Maybe in your imagination. If you mean balet dancers and Raiven they all wear balet dresses.
I have never been so disappointed in Europe, especially juries, as this year. Slovenia, Norway, fantastic vocals completely ignored !
She doesn’t need to win this ridiculous contest, she’s absolutely stunning artist and bet she got loads of new fans just because she showed up
She was outstanding even for me, so she instantly wins
I am definitely a new fan. she deserved top 10!
Miiiiìii new fan❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To have this masterpeace score by a professional jury, who are supposed to have to follow criteria, with just 15 points is points is shameful.
15 tega je plača in ve se kam potem gre njihov zaslužek.
Its not first time jury robbed artist
First Who you are?Sub People.
Also the fact 10/15 of these points came from Croatia's jury alone!
They were too busy meatriding switzerland
She must be so proud of herself, i got goosebumps, her vocals are just out of this world, what a masterpiece! 12 points from Spain 🇪🇸❤️🇸🇮
Her showcase was with Bowrain in the gold dress. The final notes were supreme.
Thank you so much. Slovenia loves Spain and we love you
You gave us nothing. Shut up.
Thanks ❤
We didn't receive no points from Spain in any sense
Probably the most underrated song of the year. Top 10 material and 23rd place totally not deserved. The mysterious slavic vibe is simply incredible. Don't be descourage neighbors and continue to send songs in your native language, just like this year and the previous one. Love from Italy 🇮🇹❤🇸🇮
Voting in this competition is one of the most inexplicable mysteries of the universe.
This year is classic.
@@RHope7There are so many great songs that it becomes really hard to choose. I also have big question marks for several of the votes, but at least the winner is deserved imo.
Also remarkable is Norway finishing last.
But these things happen. At the end I'm still very thankful for getting to know all these spectacular songs!
Probably the most underrated song of all times.
You let this joke get top 10?
I am Italian too and I LOVED this song at first listen. 😍 UNDERRATED AF!!!!
Her voice is amazing. Slovenian language is very beautiful. I love Slovenia and its people, I went to Ljubljana last year. Best wishes, much love and many greetings from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿to Slovenia 🇸🇮.
Thank you 🥰
Sending love to Kazakhstan 🇸🇮❤️🇰🇿
Stay out of Europa
Sending love from Slovenia to Kazakhstan!
@@Abulb99 Stop being rude for no reason please.
@@Abulb99 Half of Kazakhstan is considered europe on some maps, as some definitions say Europe ends at Ural Mountains. So he would still be in europe you goof.
15 points From a “professional” jury?! This contest is a joke… Raiven deserved more…
Love From Italy 🇮🇹❤️🇸🇮
Sono italiano anche io, gli avrei dato 20 punti piuttosto che 15,lei doveva vincere
Ha ricevuto pochissimi punti, aggiungendo il fatto che sia arrivata ultima in molte giurie, e quasi in tutti i televoti..
Raiven meritava di più!!
Even the dancers were amazing. Highly disappointed about the placement, but Raiven gained a fan, and probably more. Stunning performer. Bravo.
I'm so disappointed with the placement.
Raiven, you were amazing. Thank you for singing my name in front of entire Europe😊🇸🇮
The majority of people does not understand the beauty of this song. Greetings from Germany
Like even here in Slovenia the majority doesn't get the song, while I love it since it represents a part of our history as a country.
This song is a masterpiece of art! That's the main reason why, like you said, the majority of people don't get it. The music is too complex for them. It is not simple enough for the ESC, but I am glad that it did represent Slovenia, otherwise I wouldn't get the chance to hear it. Now I am in love with this song, and I learned something new.
Greetings from Serbia! ❤
Her «Thank you» was so cute! 😍
She was so robbed. That charisma, power, her look, the WAY SHE PERFORMS with that confidence , the show, THE VOICE and staging are absolutely amazing. The song was one of my fav since the beginning - still can't understand why it's so underrated. Same goes with Norway. Both women with amazing voices and songs have just been so robbed 😭 Wonderful performance, it should be in top 5.
Stop complaining. Every song has people claiming it was robbed. There will be winners and losers in every contest, and you'll spend more time crying than watching the show if you can't accept this basic fact.
@@wile123456 This. That being said, it was the only song I thought I heard the studio version but it was live. Astounding performance.
Completely agree with you! Both were one of the best performances of the year!
Very good, would be top 10 minimum if she wore some nice dress for example. Being naked kind of took it too far, everything else was amazing. Small distasteful choice was the problem.
@@wile123456Then they should remove the jury. The fact that Slovenia and Norway were the last four according to the jury's votes is a crime.
No matter the final result, I'm glad I had the opportunity to discover such an amazing artist. I can't stop listening to her
same
Totally obsessed with this song. And the performance is something else. Go Slovenia! 🤍
What an underrated art!! Raiven literally immerses you in this mysterious atmosphere with this staging, her magical charisma & outstanding vocals. Anyway glad she got a lot of loyal fans, what's much more important!!❣️
The public and the rest of ESC still didn't ready for this art masterpiece to ruled this show. You're still won my heart Raiven! 100 points from Indonesia 💯
No masterpiece here. Shake the black spell
Read the Veronika story in Google and then you will understand Sara alias Raiven.
@@adelinad3513 shake off black magic from Ireland first
Then vote
My absolute fav this year. I'll never not be mad about how underrated this song was.
The flip side is that Raiven did indeed give an awesome performance and she'll be gaining loads of new fans including myself. Really looking forward to her upcoming releases, slovenia be proud!
Enchanting. Why don’t Europe enjoy serious, dark, artsy entries?
People who do enjoy those entries usually don’t watch Eurovision.
I loved her performance, great vocals and choreography!
Ireland already took the dark artsy chops this year
@@gad_bloodthis is actually a good point. I put it on in the background and don't really care for Eurovision, until this song came on and I was like "wait, that's actually a banger???"
@@lemac3200If you mean Irland as darky artsy they have performed more sarcastic circuss interteiment dark show in my oppinion not artistic one.
@@av7987 as if the casual voter would care...
Slovenia 🇸🇮 is proud of you Raiven ❤ you represented us well couldn’t be better.
Loved this performance on the show. And after I found out the story, I liked it even more.
I'm so shocked that the juries only gave 15 points to this masterpiece. YOU'RE MY WINNER RAIVEN🖤 You deserve so much more! Thank you for your amazing music and artistry🔥
All of the jury decides to give the most points to Switzerland somehow but not to this or Israel or even serbia is beyond my mind
@@elle5411 clearly not a professional jury... Jury votes are a joke, raiven had one of the best vocals this competition and she gets 15 points lmao.
Slovenia was amazing
The walk and stare at the camera at 2:04 is probably my favourite Eurovision 2024 camera shot ❤
Justice for Slovenia in Eurovision. They are always underrated. At least she was in the final. Slovenia keep on working this way. Raiven and Joker Out were first level entries and performers. Love from Spain. ❤
BELLA RAIVEN Y TALENTOSA
This time and last year alls were on the right place.
What a VOICE 😍😍😍
It's a crime that this song received such a small number of points from the juries. Raven was spectacular
Why are Slavic countries always so robbed(apart from Ukraine for obvious reasons.)Honestly it’s amazing song and the fact she’s singing in Slovenian aswell. Dw all of us Slavic language speakers understand n love you. Love from Poland 🇸🇮🇵🇱
obvious reason is that Ukraine always sends good songs? Then yes, you are right
@@user-sj9wc5hd5twe should also admit that countries like Serbia orSlovenia also often send very good songs
@@turtellok4964 ofc, I am not saying otherwise. Slovenia was on my top 5 this year
What obvious reasons? Juries always ranked us lower than televote,look in 2018 for example,maybe in 2021 too? How Ireland was 6th on juries? Go_A and Konstakta were lower than this year’s Shum/In Corpore Sano.(and I’m glad that they wasn’t in top 3 televotes)
Juries hates all Eastern European countries and Ukraine is not an exception.
Womp womp and don't forget that Serbia and Russia exists.
Raiven mesmerised me with her enchanting voice. Half of my votes went out to her! Love from 🇷🇸.
Hvala brat 🇸🇮❤️🇷🇸
@@maribor007Budala😅
Onoliki Srbi u Sloveniji nisu mogli izlobirati bar 7 bodova.
Mrs.
@@maribor007nič nam niso dali v nobenem smislu. Kaki brat. Briga Srbe za Slovence ali Slovenijo. Oni ne hodijo k nam na dopust ali poslušajo našo glasbo. Oni pridejo k nam delat pol bi nas pa komandiral tukaj kot vedno. Nekultivirana sodrga.
@@vuk982you gave us nothing in any way. Get out of Slovenia
@@vuk982leave us alone and leave our country alone
Shame on Europe. We love you Slovenia from Bosnia&Herzegovina 🇧🇦❤️🇸🇮
🥰
I mi vas prijatelji.
Mommy Raiven, so happy you qualified
Raiven crush, chyba nie tylko ja
I'm Italian and this song gives me emotion. the singer has a beautiful voice and I find the placement unfair
She & her ballet dancers left their soul on the stage. This was one of the strongest performance of the night. The vocals were amazing. The message behind the song is beautiful.
So sad, she deserved to be at least at top ten. She deserved jury votes more than Spain for example or Armenia.
Anyway. It is what is. Congratations for bringing art to Malmo.
Raiven, you were fantastic! You were power, energy! Your voice was perfect. But you were not popular, and juri and people didn't see your talent. But you always will be in my heart. Thank you, Raiven❤❤
love Raiven from Ukraine. Thank from support Ukraine.
Hello from Kiev.
She was so robbed. 23rd with a voice like hers is absolutely insane. She should have easily been top 10
Raiven - you are a star from which all other popular stars should take notes. Whole control over voice and body. Love from Croatia!
Slovenia at 23th place is unbelievable. Raiven was perfect, amazing, outstanding. Once again, the staging should have been different but this song is a pure piece of art. Slovenia this year served quality and I hope they will continue doing this
We all became Veronika after this performance! Good job, Raiven! My 12 points to Slovenia
Raiven slayed really hard, i was super shocked with the scoring. Love and Support from Georgia 🇬🇪
such a beautiful song based on a true story that also has a dark slavic aura. how could you SLEEP on it??? veronika you will always be famous ‼️‼️‼️
Oh yess Slovian Polish feminine energy feels that too and is awaking 🤍🇵🇱🧝✨
she shouldve won this is a masterpiece
If this was sent by any other country, it would have made top 5 for sure. What a song, what a voice, what a performance.
Maybe I could understand, that this masterpiece was not a performance for an average viewer. But the fact that the juries have given her 15 points (only eight more than to Windows95 man) is a disgrace.
Every day I think more and more that Eurovision is a place where the winner is known even before the final
queen… she deserved so much more
Crazy this was not in the top 5. An amazing powerful song & by far the best vocal performance of the night. I was totally enchanted by Raiven’s operatic tones in her native tongue 🇸🇮& the loved dark moody feel of the song. ❤ Gave me goosebumps. Don’t change just to conform to the new Eurovision norm.
I cannot understand how the jury has not been able to appreciate the excellent voice of this great artist, she deserved many more points, that my country, Spain, would have been better seems to me an insult to true talent.
I will never forget this. Thank you 🇸🇮
I am, you are… We’re all Veronika 🗡️
Stay sharp no matter what 🩵
I can't believe that so many awesome voices got absolutely ignored by everyone... My number 3 this year ! Happy I got to know Raiven, what a woman, what a voice !
Slovenia 🇸🇮 ❤
This lady deserved more!
This song is the definition of underrated. Love from UK 🇬🇧
What is she singing about tho?
One of the best vocals of the year, and a captivating performance. My favourite of 2024 and especially deserved more recognition from the jury!
Slovenia should have been the top 1, the best performance, greetings from Poland!
I absolutely loved the song, but having a performance better than the MV + effortless huge high notes is just impressive and criminally underrated. I'm not even talking about televote as I understand why she didn't get much televotes, but juries.. why did we sleep on such talent?
Stellar performance, excellent staging and incredible vocals. I still can’t believe she ended up on 23rd position. The juries and televoters must’ve been blind, deaf and in a coma. She slayed, the queen was robbed.
CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I WANT TO SEE HER AS THE WINNER!⚡️🖤
YOU ATE THEM, MOTHER! AS ALWAYS!⚡️🖤
BE PROUD SLAYVENIA 🇸🇮
You must be spellcasted 😢
Underrated song.
Few Eurovision performances remain in my memory year after year because of its uniqueness and essence. This is definitely one of them. Thank you for such an intense and divine show ❤
Raiven bila si čudovita ! Imaš glas imaš vse ponosna nate zelo! Ampak žal ljudje ne vedo kaj je dobra glasba in vrhunski glas! Ampak naša država ni nič vredna! Bodi ponosna nase ker si lahko! Jsz sem z evrovizijo za vedno zaključla!
Če je tebi všeč, še ne pomeni da je glasba dobra.
Masterpiece of century! Wow! Hot!
She was incredible! The vocals, visuals, THE SONG 🔥 It's an art... Raiven definitely deserved to be higher. Thank you Slovenia 🇸🇮
So proud of you Raiven. Veronika is in my top 5 favourite Eurovision songs of all time 💙
This year I voted for Ireland, Croatia, Spain, and of course Slovenia ❤ I’m so glad she qualified for the finale and even though I believe she deserved top ten I’m just so glad that she was able to bring her incredible voice to the world! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
She was amazing ! Her vocals were better than ever ❤
She is just AMAZING!
Just a winner.... The jury, the TV viewers... What's wrong with you?
It says something about the power of her performance that there are five gorgeous near-nude dancers surrounding her but I can't take my eyes off of her face. The ending gives me chills!
Agreed despite what they were wearing, the other dancers were purely background. Raiven was definitely channeling her inner Galadriel LOTR look and her voice was out of this world. Blown away & can’t keep this song out of my head.
The more I rewatch this video the harder it gets for me to understand how this was not at least top 5. Voice, performance, feel and charm all in one.
i will keep telling everyday that this did not got what it deserved
Best voices in all contest this year. This song is masterpiece as Raiven. Good luck and my 12 points (?) from Italy 🇮🇹
Grazie vicinati 🇸🇮❤️🇮🇹
Good luck to you aswell, La Noia is fantastica 🥰
We haven't received nothing from Italy in any way
Goosebumbs
I'm so happy to see this song in the Grand Finals. So well-deserved! Great performance
In some ways, it's a win in itself she made it through to the Final with just the public vote of the semi final, I'm proud of her. Though I'm absolutely SHOCKED that she didn't come higher with the juries! What an incredible journey and performance though!
Spectacular!
Raiven getting 15 points from the juries is messed up! This whole contest is messed up!
Yes, unfortunately. It wasn't a pleasure to see all this injustice and bad taste... Raiven did great. True artist ❤
@@Damian.D agreed! My heart broke when they announced her points from the televote as well. She looked so disappointed! Shame, as this year there have been so many amazing songs and wonderful performers
@@damjanfrancic2392 this year's ESC was full of tension (not a good one), way too much confusion in the air... Pitty, as it should be a positive event... Hope, they ditch the so called professional jury at least.
Ovo je za mene najbolja pjesma Evrosonga 2024. Ima neke misticne, epske, balkanske pop-dens-etno motive.
Pozdrav iz Republike Srpske.
Raiven is beautiful. Thank you Slovenia for giving France 19 combined points
Yes, she is.
Love from Sweden! I'm still shocked this didn't get more points, it was one of my favourites. Amazing voice, song and performance.
LOVE ABBA FROM UKRAAINE! LOVE RAIVEN AND YOUR BOYS IN EUROVISION 2024 WERE VERY VERY WELL AND JURY HAVN'T RIGHT TO PUT THEM 9 PLACE.YES, RAIVEN IS FANTASTIC AND BEAUTIFUL. SUPER SONG AND PLASTIC.
Masterpiece of century!!!
An absolutely stunning performance! Waoh!
Best suit of history
This performance is le-gen-da-ry
She preformed between 2 favourites to win Switzerland and Croatia
Yes, but was the best😊
Great song, singer and performance. Deserved better position. Congrats From Spain.
With a voice, song and story behind the song like that getting 23rd was a HUGE crime.
she should have been in top 10 she was absolutely ethereal
She's incredible! She was one of my favorites! 🔥
Me having post Eurovision depression and listening to this masterpiece and crying
The most underrated song this year. ESC is going in the wrong direction. It's a pity that even the jury rated this song so poorly, they didn't appreciate it. This is no longer a song contest. Slovenia is my number 1 this year. Greetings from Poland. 🤗
Raiven 👑 won my heart ❤
and I am very proud of her, how she represented Slovenia. This is 1 of the most spectacular and epic performance I ever saw on Eurovision stage. 💙❤️💎
This is our best performance so far. Pure professionalism.
I completely agree and I wish for Raiven that she receives all the love 💙❤ and support she needs for her bright ☀️ future. She deserves much more from what she actually receives. People are not quite ready and not enough supportive. This should change for the better.
Raiven is my esc24 crush ❤ The song is such a masterpiece, and the staging is flawless.
Want to be one of those dancers ;)
I’m so happy that Raiven could perform in the final. I love Veronika so much - it has a nonstandard structure but the way it flows, its energy and how it’s distributed, the beautiful Slovenian language, the divine instrumental and the message the song carries are exquisite . I could see the full professionalism and most importantly authenticity in Raiven, this is who she is and she gave her all on that stage. The dancers did an amazing job too and the choreography along with the beautiful costumes were very artistic, somewhat provocative yet tasteful. We know that there are many other factors determining the final position on the scoreboard, so let’s not focus on that. Raiven and her team served us an incredible piece of art, moved many hearts, and that’s all that matters. Thank you Raiven, we are proud of you!
Love From Finland 🇫🇮❤️🇸🇮
Very sad she didn't got more points from the juries and the televoters.
She is an amazing talent and a awesome vocalist!
I know the song and style isn't for everyone and some people said the staging needed more smoke at parts and less light.
It should still had placed much higher then it did.
This song was for top 10, even 5, the stage, performance, voice... Soo underrated... She was great...
This was my top3 along with Norway and France
Veronika was the first woman in Slovenia accused of witchcraft. And before they even sentenced her they still drowned her. Once I found out the song hits different ❤
She was my absolute Top 3, i can't understand why this low position. Love from Spain ❤
Awesome songs, two years in a row. great job Slovenia!!! lots of love from Israel.
Beautiful beautiful song. Greetings from MACEDONIA🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰❤
