Top Comments of this video!! :3
My little country Slovenia could really win the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest this year in Sweden. Raiven with the song Veronika has everything the song needs to win. I'm proud because the song reminds us to accept differences, how important it is to accept only that. It illustrates the power of a woman as a warrior. The inspiration for the song itself comes from Slovenia's past, when in the 15th century we had the first woman accused of witchcraft in Slovenia. Veronika Deseniska, this all happened in the 15th century. I have a feeling that winning on the Eurovision stage really becomes a reality! ESC LJUBLJANA SLOVENIA 2025... RAIVEN WIN FOR US

I hid in the river and went into the silent night.
With loud steps, silent calls for help.
Now that I'm just water in the waves, I'm looking for peace.
I drown in myself, surrender to the light.
(mysterious sound)
Chorus:
Find me, hurt me, defend me
(when you chase me, when you leave me)
Pick me up, let me down, love me.
(Who's chasing you so you're not afraid?)
Who are you afraid of hiding your desires?
You look into my eyes, the image of you glows in them.
I'm a mirror without edges,
only a reflection of your fears!
Chorus:
Find me, hurt me, defend me
(when you chase me, when you leave me)
Pick me up, let me down, love me.
(Who's chasing you so you're not afraid?)
I am, you're VERONIKA!(ooooooooh)
Only she knows your truth.
I am, you're VERONIKA!
Only she knows your truth.
I am, you're VERONIKA!
Only she knows your truth.

As the song didn't hit me that much yet, it sounds epic, that's why I think it will be growing on me gradually. But the video is spectacular, and she is gorgeous, and her voice is incredible. Also the song in slovenian, just perfect. The whole package is on point, it's so well done. I hope, I really hope Slovenia spends the money on this for the staging because the song needs the high quality this video has in the stage, it need this epicness. If they do, I think it could do really well.

About song Veronika (to maybe understand this drowning, bodies and all the water more): The story of the love between Count Friderik II and Veronika of Desenice is one of the greatest love stories in Slovenian history. He was the son of a powerful ruler, while she was a rural noblewoman. Their love was so strong that nothing could stop it.
Rumour has it that Frederick II of Celje, son of the mighty Count Herman II, had a hand in the death of Elizabeth of Frankopan, his first and legal wife. Contrary to his father’s will he secretly married Veronica of Desenice immediately afterwards. Because of this, his father had him imprisoned in the main tower, where he spent over 4 years and where, according to a legend, he wanted to starve him. Meanwhile, after being acquitted in the first witchcraft process in Slovenia initiated by this sly old Count, Veronica was drowned. Herman II accused unfortunate Veronika of being a witch who had cast a spell on his son and he was 100% sure that's why his son killed his first wife and married Veronika.
I'm Slovenian and I'm soooo proud of Raiven (her real name Sara Briški Cirman). She is fenomenal artist, musician, (opera) singer, and excellent harpist. I love her and her capacity of knowledge of music. She is really next level artist. Go RAIVEN!
