That black foam is a very specific Lithuanian metaphor! It’s hard to translate. It’s used in our folklore. There’s a fairytale about Eglė who married the King of Serpentines. He tells her that if he leaves and if she wants to know if he’s still alive, she has to come by the sea and call him. If the sea-foam is white, then he’s alive. If it turns red - he’s dead. Monika Liu played a bit with that, hence the black foam - meaning he’s alive, but he’s never going to come back home!
The song is about a woman stuck in the past. She can’t let go of her past love.
Actually, the Queen of grass-snakes cried out to her beloved, "If you are alive, come white milk foam, if dead, black blood foam."
Not red, anyway, a multi-layered mythical meaning for Lithuanian audiences :)
Labai gerai paaiškinai, ačiū.
for clarity sake, he was a Shapeshifter
blood foam
and she feels sentiments about it, in good and bad way...
This is the most fabulous thing that appeared in the last couple of years. I am totally sold to this
Lithuanian folklore moment. Brothers and sisters bathed in the sea. When they returned to their clothes, the youngest sister found a grass snake in the sleeve of her dress. The serpent says, be my wife and I will leave. Sister agreed. Three days later, a snake came to the yard to pick up the bride. There was nothing left to do, she had to travel with them. The bride went to the palace at sea and found a handsome man not grass snake. They lived happily and had several children. One day the children asked where their grandparents are living and asked to visit them. Father and husband released them to go and told, when you return to the seashore call for me, and if I will be alive i will come like white foam, if dead - (bloody) black foam. While the wife visited her parents, her brothers killed her husband as they thought he is a nasty serpent. When she returned to the seaside, she called her husband and saw (bloody) black foam..
Red foam, not black foam…
"if dead red foam"
Thank you !
Folktales are fascinating! The theme of an "animal husband" reminds a bit of the Swedish tale "Prince Hat under the Ground". That one has a happy end though after a lot of entanglements, where the girl in the story turns out to be the clever hero that breaks the spell that has been laid upon the prince. That one has a lot in common with the Greek tale "Cupid and Psyche" also.
She saw blood foam, but yes, the line's context is this fairytale
12 points for Lithuania from Spain. She's a queen.
🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
Wow!!!:)
But Spain didn't give 12 points to Lituânia, unfortunately
@@lady_pt but I did.
i love it, it has a lot of class, and it's the first song from lithuania in lithuanian since 1999
The thing with the black foam, there’s a fairytale in Lithuania in which a girl is waiting for her lover and she says standing in front of the sea “if you’re alive come with a milky (colour) foam, if you’re dead - blood foam.
P.S. was really looking forward to hear your opinion, thank you!!! ❤️
Sentementai is on my top 5! it's so different from the rest of the entries so far. it's sultry and sexy and i love it.
Mine too! It's an absolute stunner and so incredibly good, I love it! 😍😁👍
🇧🇻💞🇱🇹
Lithuania is my current winner. I hope it does well!
Until now, Lithuania is my favorite entrance so far.
I've gathered that the people who blatantly despise this song are also the ones who have troubles appreciating femininity or understanding the charms of subtlety and romance. As a Lithuanian, this entry is just perfect and I couldn't be more proud that it's in Lithuanian. I am very delighted to see that you have also enjoyed this song. Thank you for this video and your insight
A lot of people in Lithuania purely dislike it because its in Lithuanian and they just start doubting like always.
@@01dom That is true, but it's also important to note that most Lithuanian men are still stuck in the past in regards to their very fragile masculinity which prevents them from appreciating femininity and it's gentle wonders. They do not think this is a strong performance because their narrow views prevent them from seeing it as such.
I'm from Norway and I love this song! It is brilliant, beautiful, seductive, suggestive and absolutely stunning and it draws you in from the very first moment you begin listening to it. One of my absolute favourites this year and definitely in my top 3, so far. If it doesn't do well in Turin, then something is seriously wrong with this world. So wishing you all the best in may, and you can absolutely be very proud of your country's contribution this year, it is mindblowingly good! 😍👍 🇧🇻 💞 🇱🇹
@@01dom They shouldn't be! Your language is absolutely beautiful and so too is this song, and it wouldn't be the same if it were in english. It's an absolutely rare gem, and we are many who completely love it. So you can all rightfully be very proud of it, it so incredibly good. Good luck in Turin 😍👍
🇧🇻 💞 🇱🇹
@@jungwon_blue No one hates this song because of her gender. It's your own personal insinuation based on nothing.
It’s been almost 2 years and I’m still obsessed with her. She was my top artist this year. So in awe of her and her voice
So elegant and beautiful song.
I wasn’t sure on this at 1st but it’s grown on me
This is the most positively fascinating Eurovision entry in a long time, a song in their own language which is always respected, such a niche music genre yet it hits so goddamn good. I know it won't win but I wouldn't be disappointed if it did, Lithuania have smashed it once again.
She was one of the coaches on the Voice of Lithuania, LOVE HER!
In that dress Monika is really like Queen of Serpents on the shore of the sea, looking at the black foam of blood. But it's not tragedy, it's romance. Relax and enjoy it.
After few more listening, i am obsessed with it. Not a winner but it has a great potential.
It could be a winner
@@qwertyuiopasone3053 not when everyone is so obsessed with Italy
Nice reaction! And black foam means black foam of the sea, it`s from Lithuanian mythology as a bad sign.
This is my favourite one so far x love this song
I LOVE It too😉
It's like fresh air, bit of nostalgic Feeling of good past Moments👌👌👌👌👌
Skaista meitene, skaista dziesma un ļoti izteiksmīgs izpildījums. Man patīk!
Be google. Graži moteris, graži daina ir labai išraiškingas atlikimas. Paldies braliukai!
black foam is referencing a lot of Lithuanian literature especially in Eglė, Queen of the Sea Serpents wish is like a folkish poem and it would mean that a person is dead
Not dead just not comming back, red means dead
Monika has very UNIQUE voice :) She is PHENOMENAL!
I hope she wins listener's hearts.... Sad people sometimes voting not for song and vocals but for other things(politics, neighbours...). GOOD LUCK MONIKA
Absolutely love the song! (May be a bit biased as I am of Lithuanian ancestry). I hope she wins. So cool that she is singing in Lithuanian, one of the most ancient living languages in the world. Very haunting melody and words. Valio!
This is so incredibly good and absolutely one of my favourites this year. It's stunning and deserves top ranking IMO. And honestly, I wouldn't be mad if it won. Definitely in my top 3, and I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves because it really is an absolute gem! Wishing Lithuania all the best and good luck from Norway 🇱🇹💞🇧🇻
YASSS, was waiting for your reaction on this, love it! It’s a real standout in my opinion!
This song is growing on me everyday, like now I'm addicted to it ! I really hope that the performance in Torino will be more sexier but I think they will keep the performance like it is during PiN
She herself said that she will have a different performance, she is perfectionist and she will do everything perfect, so I have high hopes.
Good luck to 🇱🇹 from 🇱🇻...🇱🇹❤🇱🇻
It has some “Bond” theme about it. I like it alot.
This is one of my favorite songs this year, so really glad you liked it! I also agree with your comments at 6:00, I think the song really speaks through the performance and her facial expressions whether you know the lyrics or not
adore this. i’m sure it’ll be underrated in the contest but deserves a top 3 finish
It’s a fantastic song. Classy and one we can defo enjoy given how wonderful the performance is - hopefully it will get a decent vote
I agree, I really like this one. Well done Lithuania!
This can EASILY come top 10. Juries will ADORE this. It could come top 5 in Jury vote. Tele vote will seriously affect it winning chances unfortunately. My number 2. Brividi just too good.
I am glad you liked this song! Best wishes! ❤️
i thought you would enjoy this more. For me its an absolute favourite so far, just cant stop watching the video and humming to this song
It fits my taste even though I don’t rlly listen to music like that. Hope she qualifies!
This is really nice video. Thanks from LT!
Loving this and her. We will definitely hear this song again in the ESC final.
Monika is disgustingly beautiful and perfect. I loved her voice and her look. everything. some poeple are just blessed in all the ways.
'As a black foam' is I think a line used from folkloral fairytales, where a girl was waiting for a man to come back, as she was singing if you alive come back as a foam from the sea waves... Its hard to explain. But it is I think from a this fairytale...
P.s. I liked your review! She is very classy and very professional! Hope for top 5 deffinitelly because we dont have today anything like that and Eaurovision doesnt have no one like that too. Its always ballads, rock, rap or CRAZYNESS, therefor I love this, cause it is CLASSY, SEXY, DELICIOUS AND RYTHIMIC and A BIT NOTSTALGIC!
I don't know about black foam, but in Lithuanian fairytale a girl calls a man to come back with a milk foam if he's alive and with a bloody foam if he's dead.
My favourite so far. She's really hypnotic and listening her voice is a pleasure. Also an example of how singing in native language is an add value (especially nowadays that translation can be obtained so easily!!): even if I don't speak lithuanian the song really reached me at first listening, I can "feel" it.
I really loved your reaction. She might be the winner of this year. This ESC is on fire
This queen has to win, its so good 👑🤘
I really like how you react on the songs on an open and positive way
And ofc I love the song as well ❤️❤️
Georgina, today i saw article in LT newspaper about You and your reaction, channel. You are famous in LT
The line about him "arriving as a black foam" is from an old Lithuanian folk tale.
Best song this year, im vibing and chilling at the same time. 12 points from Serbia
A real treat to listen to..many times! phenomenal!
Amaizing song and performance! Thanks you, guys. I can't sop!
Love it
Hi Queen ❤️ im glad you reviewed this one 🥳 you are awesome as always
Thank you
this is one of my favorite entries this year, i love it so much 🥰 the performance is absolutely mesmerizing. i hope it qualifies for the final
This is my favorite song so far selected for Eurovision this year and my second favorite performance overall. She is really good.
Thank you, it was great to hear professional opinion!
Love love love vibes!
Im flying....! 🥰💛🏵
I'm in the USA and wish I could vote... my girl lives in Lithuania so I had to hear the song, I think its awesome👍👍😁
Thank you so much for your kind words. Greetings from Vilnius :)
It may struggle for impact, but I love it, and her.
Oh yeah the black foam thing is explained in the comments 😅 thank you for reacting to monika! It means a lot to us Lithuanians
I hope Lithuania will win finally! 🇱🇻❤🇱🇹. I have high hopes on both Lithuania and Estonia, I am not rooting for my country because look what they sent🥲.
So I hope Lithuania or Estonia will win, even if it won't happen because they always doesn't fairly support smaller countries.
i hope she will be in the top 5! she is brilliant, i saw her live in Barcelona, it was amazing. i love everything about her
This song is my favorite so far, not because I'm lithuanian myself :D but maybe because I like listening to modern/retro music :)
Love it!
You’re honest review is just fascinating 🥰🥰🥰 The best part was: “her back and her arms are just to die for!” This is true🤩 Thank you!❤️
so funny 🤩
I agree with her but! How nice is her back!
This is exquisite......I love it!
I loved her , a nice classical sexy song . And being a born Lithuanian she made feel even better . Is it a winner ? No ! But I wish it would arrived among the first 10 . ❤️🌺I really like your reaction . Hugs from Italy 🇮🇹
Thanks for amazing reaction! If you want to see more of Monika I suggest to check out Monika Liu - Tiek jau to (Live) (Sapiens Music). Such an amazing voice!
this was one of my faves from that year still listen to it
I adore this song. It’s grown and grown on me and I just love it. It’s on my general non-Eurovision rotation of favourite songs now. I don’t think it’ll win - too subtle maybe - but I’d be delighted if it did. Sounds lovely in Lithuanian despite me understanding not a word of the language. Bravo, Lithuania!
Song is about yearning and reminiscing of a lost love - Sentimentals (black foam reference to dark waves beating down the shore line). And this is totally Broadway!!!
MY FAV THIS YEAR💖🇱🇹
Thank you for so nice reaction 🙂 #MonikaLiu
😊
Your like a grandma, I just wanna hug you 🥰
🇱🇹 💯❤❤👏 Black foam is part of Lithuanian folklore 🤗
Georgina honestly you are an addiction to watch - such a professional approach you are making in reviewing all the songs and very to the point comments - I agree in most you display here 😘 I think Monica will shine cause is an original all in all - and we haven’t heard sth like this from 1997 maybe (Alla - Russia) I predict a good placing 6-12 especially if former USSR countries can’t stand out in the final - I hope you have a successful install in the new house ☘️🎧stay creative 🐝
Very interesting and unik, the ESC becomes more interesting when countries send entries with integrity. Yes i am a swede and sometimes i question our own. From what you said about the lyrics i think it is about longing for someone that is never coming back but the memories are still pleasurable. Makes me think of Titanic actually.
Sooooo good!
Really great song!
This is a lovely song 🥰 I did further research of each country final selection on their songs so much beautiful songs that fell behind even better the front runner..
This performance makes me remember kate Bushe's "WoW" song, though a bit more mellow, something about the way she sings makes the connection.
Thank you very much
Beautiful review🥰
Thank you 🤗
THis has a good chance to qualify, but depends on what else is in the semi. It IS very important though, in that it;s the first entry in Lithuanian in, maybe decades? Last clear indication I can find is 1999 Jerusalem.
It is a song about feelings. These are the memories that you hold dear forever It was a song about missing someone you love, "sentimental", and remembering the past and how much you loved someone, but now youre kind of stuck or trapped in your memories of your past love and you long to have it again- without really going deeply into grief, since the thematic of the music is upbeat in order to prevent going too deep into any feelings of grief and loss. She made the song simultaneously sexy and fun, which she uses to keep its listeners uplifted and not falling down into grief of past memories of love that has been lost. Im just an American and I dont know anything about Lithuania but her voice is magical.
The fact that she does a metaphor in tje instrumental with the black foam arriving on the 2nd verse with her voice and beat,reference to Lithuanian folklore, 20s and futuristic yet classy aesthetic... Just completely different than the rest of the selected songs.
Eurovision 2022 had some very sweet songs. This one, Portugal, Iceland and Cyprus are the 1st who came to my mind
I'm with you - this was my favourite this year (although Sam was very good). Can't stop myself moving each time the chorus comes in :)
I know now what this song reminds me of. When I think of ABBA's song "The day before you came", then I am getting a similar, but slightly different feeling. This dark and at the same time sentimental vibe. I really enjoy that.
Knock knock knock
At night is knocking at my heart
Full of longing
Accompanied by memories
A ghost
You, it's you, it's you
A face seen long ago
Why are you laughing like a clown
At my shining eyes?
Moments are spinning in a circle in my head,
they're running where you are
A million roses like sentiments
are drowning in the sea of clouds
Ah...
Restless sea is rustling
I have tears in my eyes
That's it - he's never gonna come back
He arrived as a black foam*
I remember how I'm standing in the middle of dunes of Nida
and waiving to a seagull
so far, far away...
Moments are spinning in a circle in my head
they're running where you are
A million roses like sentiments24
are drowning in the sea of clouds
Moments are spinning in a circle in my head
they're running where you are
A million roses like sentiments
are drowning in the sea of clouds

Thank you💝💃💐👌🥰👌💛💚❤
You‘re probably right that it‘s not going to take the prize, but it‘s definitely an unforgettable song and performance. I love songs like these where the music and performance work so perfectly well together that it does not need anything else to draw the audience in.
Eglė the Queen of Snakes is one of the most famous Lithuanian folk tales. Of course, whites, Finns, Slavs and other groups of nations have similar motifs in their folklore with more than a hundred different versions of this tale. The plot, structure, composition and other elements of the tale can be taken from Indo-European mythology. The tale depicting her fate is close to ancient myths.
“Žilvinai, Žilvinėli
If you're alive, come in milk foam
If he's dead, it's blood foam! "
(if you are alive - white milk foam will come, if you are dead - black blood foam)
Amaizing song and reation to.

~~~~ Sentiments ~~~~
Knock
Knock knock
At night, it’s knocking in my heart
Full of longing
A spirit,
Accompanied by memories.
You, it's you, it's you
A face seen long ago
Why are you laughing like a clown
At my glassy eyes?
Moments spinning around in my head
They're running back to you,
A million roses like sentiments
Drowning in a sea of clouds
Ah…
The restless sea is murmuring
There are tears in my eyes
That's it - he's never coming back
He swam through black foam
I remember standing in the middle of dunes of Nida
And waving to a seagull
So far, far away…
Moments spinning around in my head
They're running back to you,
A million roses like sentiments
Drowning in the sea of clouds
Moments are spinning around in my head
They're running back to you,
A million roses like sentiments
Are drowning in a sea of clouds
Yes, I agree, I felt Kylie's "Chocolate" immediately :)
This was my favourite from Eurovision 2022. Thought it deserved a better placing than 14 - though I have to admit, she had some very stiff competition. The standard was quite high this year.
So do you know, I think Eurovision channel is now adding subtitles to the videos of performances!
“Black foam” its mean sea foam, when vawes big, and come in the shore with white foams. So in this song it means sadness, because he never come back, and come with black foam 😊
We might not understand the language, but she transmits a lot! we are feeling it!
Yaaay im here early
