About the 6th song from our latest album “Concrete Flower”. An abstract version of the song, without vocals and lyrics, was sitting in our hard drive for a while. We just didn’t have the motivation to develop it further. Maybe the demo seemed unworthy of our attention and time.
One day Vaidotas traveled to a wooden cabin in Miškiniškės to finish writing lyrics for other songs and decided to go through some of the demos. Suddenly this song caught his attention, he started dancing in the cabin alone, and naturally the first line - “it is ok to dance alone” - was born.
Back in Vilnius Vaidotas showed it to others. Robertas said the song needed some improvements and grabbed bass guitar. Mantas joined in with his guitar and all together we refined the parts that are most clearly heard in the beginning of the song.
We then flew to Helsinki where finishing touches were put on the song and it gained its current sound. In the music video we are wearing yellow, which became a huge part of our identity.
We decided to enter Lithuanian National Selection for Eurovision again, because we felt that our journey was interrupted, and we wanted to continue it. We won the selection. The song beat Lithuanian records, won awards and rapidly spread around the world.
Finally we managed to get on the Eurovision stage in Rotterdam. We finished 8th. People were extremely involved in supporting us and launched “The Yellow Wave” - dressed in yellow, danced, filmed themselves dancing, hung posters on buildings, and wished us well. We are very grateful.
