TOP 50 MILLENNIUM SONGS (position 35)
The 2012 Eurovision entry from Belarus WE ARE THE HEROES by Litesound ends up as our 35th best song. The song was covered in Afrikaans by Jan-Mattys van Lill in 2012 and a second cover in Afrikaans was done in 2017 by Dirk Lazenby.
NEW CD – TUSSEN STERRE
We got a surprise new CD today – it is called KOSMIES and is by a new group called TUSSEN STERRE (among stars). The group has three members – Jan-Mattys van Lill SJ van Dyk and Martin Clifford Earle. The name Jan-Mattys may sound familiar to some – he has covered two Euro songs in the past – Russia 2008 – Believe of Dima Bilan which he calls DIE LEWE BEGIN VAN VOORAF and Belarus 2012 – We are the heroes of Litesound which he calls VEG TOT DIE EINDE. On their CD is a song called VIR EWIG ‘N GOEIE TYD (For always a good time) and a video has been made of it. They have just entered it for the San Marino selection but it has not been loaded as yet.
EUROVISION 60th CELEBRATION – SONG 41 of 60
We start today again with the last group of 20 songs. It is the turn again of BELARUS and their 2012 song WE ARE THE HEROES by LITESOUND. This song is very special to me. Jan-Mattys van Lill who is doing the Afrikaans cover, did it for me as a birthday present in 2012, so there are not many copies of this available as it has not been commercially released.
