Last December, Amanda Tenfjord was announced as the Greek representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song “Die together”.
Written by Amanda herself alongside Bjorn Helge, the track is a really Scandinavian-oriented song that reminds Aurora and Sigrid sounds.
Speaking about it, Greek-Norwegian singer and songwriter said: “‘Die together’ is a song that was born out of a hurtful personal experience. After a year and a half of a tough “writer’s block”, I entered the studio with my music collaborator, I shared everything in my heart, and he helped me externalize this pain of mine over co-creating new music. With ‘Die together’ it was essentially like putting an end to this relationship and moving forward”.
The accompanying music video, directed by Costas Karydas, was filmed on the Greek island of Simi.
Lyrics:
I’m in your back seat
You are driving me crazy
You’re in fully control
It’s like you always know so
Are you having a good time?
Doesn’t seem like you’re all fine
We don’t laugh anymore
And when we cry we do it on our own
It’s been a lovely year for us
Yeah, that’s what they say
It’s been a hell of year
And we’ve been living in fear
Close to giving up
But if we die together now
We will always have each other
I won’t lose you for another
And if we die together now
I will hold you till forever
If we die together, die together now
I love you, say that you love me too
That’s the only way we can get out of this hell we made
It’s been a lovely year for us
Yeah that’s what they say
It’s been a hell of year
And we’ve been living in fear
Close to giving up
But if we die together now
We will always have each other
I won’t lose you for another
And if we die together now
I will hold you till forever
If we die together, die together
Take my heart and rip it out
Bring it to the other side
Take my heart and rip it out
Bring it to the other side
Take my heart and rip it out
Bring it to the other side
Take my heart and rip it out
Oh, take my heart and rip it out
‘Cause if we die together now
We will always have each other
I won’t lose you for another
And if we die together
I will hold you till forever
If we die together, die together now
