1963 Denmark : Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann - Dansevise (Dance Ballad)
This was one of the winners of ESC I never really heard about for a long time… and didn’t really get to hear or own the song for a long time. There is a lot of ‘controversy’ with the possible rigged voting that year and the strange staging for that year’s contest but this song was the winner.
I love the song, especially the very haunting guitar at the start. The Danish language is not the easiest to listen to or sing along to but it does have a haunting quality. I also love the ending with its crescendo before going quiet and slow again. Sounds sooooo sad :o(
