Manchester Evening News, UK

Everything you need to know about Armenia's entry and words in full for Future Lover

Representing Armenia in this year's Eurovision Song Contest is singer Brunette.

Brunette will be performing at the competition, which is being held at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena, her song Future Lover.

Armenia's odds of winning the contest were 100/1 ahead of the show, according to Ladbrokes.

Brunette, whose real name is Elen Yeremyan, has already had success through viral hits and girl group stardom. The 21-year-old has been singing since the age of four and writing music since the age of 15.

By 18 Elen had released her debut single, Love The Way You Feel. She has also released the singles Gisher, Smoke Break and Bac kapuyt achqerd – the latter of the two went viral on social media – as Bunette.

Elen is also a member of the girl group En aghjiknery (ThoseGirlz), who are known for the 2022 single Menq.

Future Lover is an emotive song about a lover she is yet to meet and it ends with a powerful dance routine. She wrote the music and lyrics herself. Speaking to the Official Eurovision Song Contest Podcast ahead of the finals, Brunette said she is inspired by performers such as Rihanna.

She said: “The way they perform, it really gives me motivation. I see them moving and enjoying all that performance and it’s exciting, it gives me chills and goosebumps.”

This year's Eurovision Song Contest festivities kicked off last Sunday when the 37 competing acts took to a turquoise carpet welcome ceremony. Semi-final events then took place on Tuesday and Thursday night.

Mae Muller, 25, will compete for the UK with her track I Wrote A Song. Also competing in the grand final is France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Croatia, Moldova, Switzerland, Finland, Czechia, Norway, Israel, Portugal, Serbia, Ukraine, Albania, Cyprus, Estonia, Belgium, Austria, Lithuania, Poland, Australia, Armenia and Slovenia.

The grand final takes place on Saturday from 8pm, live on BBC One.

I just wanna make art,
Read books and just find someone,
Who likes me enough to kiss my face,
I wanna explore with him and visit old bookstores,
And cute little things, like drink smoothies at near cafes.
Oh – oh – oh,
Drink smoothies at near cafes,
Oh – oh – oh.

Oh future lover, I hope it all comes naturally,
I hope our love is quiet outside, but loud inside oh baby,
Oh future lover, this song I wrote for you,
This song I wrote for you my future lover.

I decide to be good, do good, look good,
I decide to be good, do good, look good,
I decide to be good, do good, look good,
I decide to be good, do good, look good.

It's like a daydream, but I got some other, better plans,
I wanna scream and shout,
My heart caught in chains,
Cold heart, cold hands, fire in my veins,
Fire in my veins, heart in chains,
I'm a volcano that is going to explode in a sec’,
I'm so hypnotised by someone that I've never ever met,
Don’t wanna forget, am I dreaming yet?
Poetic dream, I don՚t want it to end oh,
3 minutes of making impossible plans,
7 minutes of unnecessary panic attacks,
Here I go with the coldest hands,
Here I go with still no plans oh, still no plans,
I can't cool off, no I can't relax,
Lord what I'm gonna’ do my pain just attacks,
I still have the coldest hands,
Oh my Lord, my Lord,
My pain, my panic attacks, oh.

I decide to be good, do good, look good,
I decide to be good, do good, look good,
I decide to be good, do good, look good,
I decide to be good, do good, look good.

Ու դու ինձնից հեռու, [you're so far away from me]
Լքված ես հեռու, հեռու ես դու, [left alone, far far away]
Երազումս ես ու դու էինք լուռ, [you and I, silent in my dream]
Մոլորվում էինք հեռու – հեռու հեռվում [we're lost, far far away]

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
