Andreas Lundstedt's 2012 melodifestivalen ride ended Saturday with a pale seventh place in the second semi final held in Gothenburg (in the same venue as the 1985 ESC, by the way).
Despite being my favourite song, I can see why the performance failed to win over the televoters. A bit too polished, a tad too cold, a pinch too self-righteous.
Now the single is out, accompanied by a simple but pleasant clip that, perhaps, is no cinematographic masterpiece but that oozes with the emotion I would have longed for in the live version.
Some heartbreak, some pain. Not the biggest smile in town, it won't compliment a lyric like this.
