Sweden's Cornelia Jakobs in Vilnius!

Sweden’s representative in Eurovision 2022 - @corneliajakobsdotter - is visiting Lithuania! We, as true ambassadors, had the pleasure to meet this warm and charming personality, and spend some quality time discussing Eurovision, songwriting, life, languages, and other interesting and fun topics over morning tea and coffee. Cornelia, best of luck in Turin!

Fun fact: Cornelia’s first attempt in Eurovision in 2011 was with a band called Love Generation and a song called… wait for it… “Dance Alone”!

THE ROOP at Eurovision Parties 2022

For two years in a row (2020 and 2021), we have not been able to fully feel the joy of Eurovision over the pandemic and the ban on events. So this year we want to visit those who have been waiting for us all this time! We decided to take part in the Eurovision Pre-party events and thank you for your support. Our first official performances will take place in Barcelona (March 26) and Madrid (April 15)! Let’s be on fire and discoteque! 🔥🖖

Love Is All We Got

We filmed the music video for “Love Is All We Got” at the end of October 2021. We, Lithuanians, have a painful collective memory and it kept whispering that the tension and disturbance in the world was rising. But not even in the worst nightmare could we dream of a war starting in it’s roughest form. While editing the video now we added additional images.
.
Blooming flowers symbolize hope and desire for peace. After all, flowers can break through concrete - such a superpower of life lies within the spirit of Ukrainians while fighting the invader. The dominating green color in the music video encodes revival, birth, and also prompts to stride forth and commit actions firmly.
.
Looking back at Lithuanian history, we remember experiencing Russia’s regime aggression multiple times. We were being occupied, exiled, killed. Each family has living memories of it. So how did we survive? We are guessing it was because of love. Because of big love for our families, children, mothers, fathers, and our country. Our nation like no other deeply understands and supports Ukraine. Putin's war against Ukraine is a war against humanity. We wish for it to end.
.
We express enormous support for Ukrainian band “Go_A” with whom we established a warm friendship in Rotterdam, during “Eurovision”. We were discussing a collaboration and “Love Is All We Got” was one of the options. However, our intentions and plans were terminated by Russia’s invasion into Ukraine. “Go_A” recently wrote that they temporarily pause their music activity because of the war. All members of the band remained in their homeland. We want to believe the war ends as soon as possible, and we can write music and make the collaboration happen.
.
Each contributes as much as they can and comprehends at a time. Now we decided to contribute using our primary work - music. All of the funds collected for streaming of this song on all platforms in 2022 will be used to support Ukraine.
.
Watch and listen.

2 AGATA Awards Today, But What Actually Matters...

Today we received 2 AGATA awards for the most played song on Lithuanian radio stations and for the most streamed Lithuanian music video. However, these awards do not warm us as much as they should due to the current situation. Has the world become hostage to one inadequate person? Even Russian citizens are afraid of him, though it’s the government that should serve citizens. Putin is bombing Ukrainian people and he seems to have really gone crazy. We think there is no need to remain silent and sit thinking that we can’t change anything. It is important to have your say. So Vaidotas wrote a request to the world. Our neighbors need help! At the same time you can support at https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/

Stay Strong Ukraine

We are with Ukraine with all our hearts. What is happening now is an example of big egoism, inhumanity, and the desire to bring even more chaos into the world. Looking back at Lithuanian history, we remember experiencing Russia’s aggression multiple times. We were being occupied, exiled, killed. Each family has living memories about it. Therefore we understand and support Ukraine now.
