48. VERIDIA - Still Breathing // Sent by Alexeh23

Still Breathing is a perfect example of the type of rock song that does well in TSC. I find the chorus to be a slight let down compared to the verses, but as an overall package this is just fantastic. I remember thinking that this would easily win since I was hosting that week, and as much as I liked Allie X, VERIDIA would have been a fantastic winner.

At first glance this feels like any other pop song, but it builds into something really special. This feels like standard TSC winning material, despite only placing 3rd. Additionally, it's my favourite song of Adele's from this year.

I always wish Romania would send something like this to Eurovision. It's what I always anticipate from the Romanian music scene, and I think Ceasul is up there with the more popular Romanian girls in terms of song quality. It builds well, and the drop ultimately delivers.

This song has a lot of heart and it really comes through. I also love Tom's voice. It's not something I normally go for but My Way feels really special.
Comments
If I finished ranking a week or so later, Ceasul probably would have made my write-ups. Lurve Tom Walker and VERIDIA, too.
