Eurovision 2017 – Spain

The Spain song is called “Do It For Your Lover” and performed by Manel Navarro.

ARTIST

Manel was chosen during the live Objetivo final on February 11th where a total of 6 artists performed. It was a tie break but Manel won because of some tie break decision I didn’t really understand as it was in Spanish.

Manel Navarro is a  young singer-songwriter from Sabadell, Manel, writes in English with acoustic or electronic arrangements, but always with his guitar. He started uploading covers in social media, and three years ago he excelled with his acoustic cover of Drake’s Hold On, We’re Going Home, and got to record the first song of his own, Brand New Day, and more recently his single Candle with Sony Music.

SONG

Manel also wrote this winning song himself.

OPINION

It’s a quirky little guitar number that wouldn’t be out of place on a street corner. As for what ‘it’ is that should be done for your lover – not quite sure. He’s a good looking young guy and sings it well.

PREDICTION

It’s very, very forgettable and the only thing people will remember him for is his long hair and boyish good looks. The song won’t carry him very far from the bottom of the leader board.

LYRICS

‘Sometimes is hard to say whatever you were thinking
Sometimes is hard to do whatever you wanna do
Sometimes is even worse to wake up every morning

Hearing the awful sound that sounds on the radio every Sunday
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Baby, clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Baby, clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love

Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, love
And love
Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, love
Raise your head, don’t lay down with the sorrow
Just open a door and you will see what comes tomorrow
So don’t be afraid ’cause at the end everything is gonna be OK
‘Cause I wanna see you acting like you just don’t care
And I say
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Baby, clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Baby, clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love

Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, love
And love
Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, love
Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, love
And love
Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, love
Just do it, just do it
Just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it
Just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it
Just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it
Just do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Baby, clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Baby, clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Oh no, just do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love

Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, love
And love
Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, love

Oh baby, just do it

Lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lover
