Beautiful Song was the Latvian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku performed by Anmary.
The lyrics talk about the hopes and dreams of a young aspiring artist who wants to make big encouraged by her mother told her "to grow and be a singer" and her father who "just smiled and gave me my guitar..." The song uses many Eurovision clichés and makes references to Johnny Logan, multiple winner at Eurovision. She also makes references to Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Paul McCartney.
The song failed to reach the Eurovision final, finishing in 16th place in the first semi final.
Lyrics[]
I was born in a distant 1980
The year the Irish Johnny Logan won
Now he’s old, you know, still kinda famous
Could be my way, today’s my day, I’m singing of my song
If I win as many did before me
If this song became a big known hit
I would buy, oh, my own mic to sing in
And all the jobs I did before I’m surely gonna quit
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and so on and on
Beautiful song that everybody knows and everybody loves
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and so on and on
Beautiful song that everybody knows and everybody loves
My mamma said “You gotta be a singer”
My father smiled when gave me my guitar
I did my best, ‘though I can be much better
Higher of the highest and the very farthest stars
And the day when Jagger, Mick did call me
I couldn’t talk ’cause I was really busy
Recording song with Sir Paul McCartney
“I’m sorry Mick, I’ll call you back, one day I’ll call you back”
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and so on and on
Beautiful song that everybody knows and everybody loves
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and so on and on
Beautiful song that everybody knows and everybody loves
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and so on and on
Beautiful song that everybody knows and everybody loves
Beautiful song is on the radio, is in the TV shows and so on and on
Beautiful song that everybody knows and everybody loves
